Hi folks,

looking for help,I am taking 56 kids to Holland on a rugby tour,and we are getting the ferry to Amsterdam,and I am wondering if there is a cafe/resturant on arrival in Amsterdam,for the kids to get breakfast

The Dutch don't do a full breakfast like the Brits (does anyone?) and I think you will be hard pushed to find anywhere to seat that many kids without a reservation.  Your best bet would be to get into the centre and try somewhere that has a large al-fresco area and sample the delights of the 'broodje or boterham'  the Dutch don't skimp on fillings.  The only other suggestion I can make is McDonalds or Burger King.

Good luck - enjoy.

The Dutch for "full English" is "Engelse ontbijt". But your kids won't like the sausage, it's too full of meat.


Anyhow, if you're taking schoolchildren ... why isn't your tour operator organising all this?! I'd be pretty alarmed if it was my child you were taking.

Isn't that what sausage is supposed to contain and not a mush of paste and cereal that alot of British sausage contain.  The higher the pure meat content the better as far as I am concerned.  But it still all boils down to the fact that no one on this earth can do a real English like the English- even if though we predominantly use Dutch bacon, which is excellent.

Sorry for going somewhat off topic, and I hope the 'breakfast' problem is sorted out soon.

We are just putting ideas together,it will be a light breakfast anyway as the boys have a game late morning,The operator was offering breakfast on the boat ,a bit expensive ,so we are just enquiring about different avenues to bring the cost down for the kids.

Thanks to all who replied
