Café De Prins — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Went there as a family to meet up with friends who also had a young child (we had 3 under 5s). Not a suitable place for families with young children.

However we may have been misled by the name Cafe, as it was more of a bar, with bar food, and bar music. Created a rather hectic atmosphere that seemed to make the toddlers even more grumpy than usual. Ambience possibly more suited to hardened adults.
