From the outside, it invites Café Klein It starts out with a warm, lively atmosphere. Once inside, a surprising mix of styles unfolds. At the front, you feel like you are in a French bistro, with bistro chairs, white tablecloths, and wooden paneling. At the back, the atmosphere shifts and the place takes on a healthy dose of Amsterdam North, with aluminium details and a somewhat rawer, industrial look. Even the toilets join in: with the bright red light of a single fluorescent tube, they wouldn't look out of place in a nightclub. The logo also plays with this contrast, featuring a classic and a modern typeface side by side. The concept has been implemented down to the smallest detail.

On paper, it might sound like a hodgepodge, but at Café Klein, it works. The many empty wine bottles scattered throughout the restaurant act as the connecting factor between the two worlds.
