This Grand Café, located at Leidseplein, doubles as a restaurant and discotheque. If you don't want to risk a confrontation with the bouncers you're best off going there for drinks or food during the day and hanging around until it is disco time. The interior here is lovely and the café is certainly condusive to people watching. It's located in a busy part of the city and there is a real buzz about the place. The terrace and atrium are comfortable spots to while away a few hours on a sunny day. The interior is spacious and mostly populated with a trendy clientele. At night, the Palladium turns into a discotheque. Watch out for the bouncers - they're not the easiest to get by in Amsterdam. But then again, this place is known as a hang out for the beautiful people. Palladium is quite pricey. The drinks are slightly more expensive than usual and the food can be quite dear for the portion size. Remember though, this is in the heart of the city, so you pay for the location and style of the place.

Back

I've been a diner at Palladium for over 15 years. The assistants were real ladies and gentlemen, chic and sexy, served you with a smile. I always left a good tip. But since they made it into a club restaurant, the place is not the same. the servers are rude, unsmiling. As for the night disco I wouldn't dare myself to go in there. Why do some people take a great atmosphere place and mess it up?

Go there for amazing food & setting. Affordable and nice!
