Your perfect (family) Sunday: games and lazy food @ Sunday at Nieges
No no, it is nothing new that Mr. Nieges is your go-to address in Amsterdam. Familiar place, familiar story. But maybe you didn't know yet that the business is still improving and innovating? That's true. They are doing it in nice old style this winter and let's be honest: it couldn't have turned out better.
"We have been able to think about it all summer," says the Nieges team itself. And it became: Sunday at Nieges. The fact that you have to join in is just as much of a no-brainer as the name of the 'party' itself: on Sunday you pull up your chair for a long afternoon of playing games and enjoying that perfect Sunday evening. lazy food. A different menu than the rest of the week, which is both nice and a shame. Because on Sunday it's croquettes on bread (my choice… Can't resist a shrimp croquette), thick slices of salmon under your equally thick egg benedict and a delicious stew of fries.
Born out of need, that's what it's called. Because what more could someone want on a Sunday in the cold Amsterdam winter? Correct. From this. That on your plate and fun people, games and a brunch (of course there are also plenty of mimosas) that goes on until the evening. AND good music. Really nice music. Not that difficult but that fun, played by a DJ who rolls into Nieges on his music bike and deserves extra praise for his ensemble of sing-along songs that you had forgotten for a while.
If you arrive on time, you might just get the coveted sofas by the fireplace; handsome boy who still goes there. Although the dark café area at the front left is also ideal for those who come with the whole family or a large group of friends. Because Sunday.
And if the sun does come out, there are already some blankets ready for the winter cold on Mr. Niegens' still unrivaled terrace.
Sunday at Nieges is celebrated every Sunday throughout the winter of 18/19. You can read it on the Facebook event page of the case.
