It was raining and our mood was not good when we went into De Witte Ballons, but when we left, we felt a whole lot better! The atmosphere was lively, and the service friendly and very efficient. The food was excellent - imaginative, beautifully presented and very tasty. (Cabrales & smoky chicken salad for starters, Saté van ossenhaas & Kaasfondue for main course) Our window table gave us a good view of the Oude Gracht. And the prices were very reasonable! What more could we want?
