On the Noordermarkt in the heart of the Jordaan, you will find Winkel 43, an authentic Amsterdam corner building where you are welcome all day long. For a cup of coffee early in the morning, a quick lunch, drinks after work, or an evening meal. And yes, also for the apple pie. But Winkel 43 is more than that, and it should feel that way too.

History and atmosphere of Winkel 43

The Jordaan has traditionally been a neighborhood where people meet, and Winkel 43 has been part of that since 1983. Locals starting the week with a coffee on the terrace, market visitors dropping in on Saturday after the farmers' market, and travelers trying a slice of apple pie for the first time. Everyone is welcome, no fuss.

The building is located on the corner of the Noordermarkt and the Westerstraat, in a characteristic building typical of the traditional Amsterdam architectural style. The interior is cozy and simple, the atmosphere warm and casual, just as it should be in the Jordaan.

The apple pie

Winkel 43 is renowned for its apple pie, and rightly so. Freshly baked daily, with a thick, crispy crust, tender spiced apples, and whipped cream. The recipe has been the same for years, and that is a good thing. What many people don't know: the pie is made by a special team. Through Cordaan, people with disabilities bake in our kitchen every day, with craftsmanship and joy. You can taste it.

More than apple pie

Besides the apple pie, we serve breakfast, lunch, bar snacks, and dinner. The lunch menu changes monthly, the dinner menu daily, featuring Dutch classics and fair prices. No complicated menu, just delicious and affordable. There are also vegetarian and vegan options.

On sunny days, the terrace on two sides of the building, on both the Noordermarkt and the Westerstraat, is one of the nicest spots in the neighborhood to sit outside, summer and winter.

Bigger, but the same

Winkel 43 is growing. We took over the adjacent building and set it up as an extension of our location, with its own apple pie kitchen where the famous pie is now baked. More room for guests, less waiting outside. The coffee corner has also been refreshed with a brand-new espresso machine, and the kitchen and restrooms of the original location have been renovated. Step by step, we are investing in a better experience without losing our character.

The market at our doorstep

The Noordermarkt is active every Monday and Saturday. On Mondays, there is the flea/fabric market with vintage clothing, furniture, and fabrics. On Saturdays, the organic farmers' market with fresh produce from local farmers. On market days, Winkel 43 opens as early as 07:00 AM and offers a special market menu. A perfect combination.
