Bakker Baard @ Westerpark

Bakker Baard - who was educated as a baker, then became an artist, and one day decided to start baking and cooking again- has a nice little cafe at the Westergas Terrein. Here you can have lunch and dinner, or try one of the freshly squeezed juices. His specialty is 'clafoutis', a kind of pie made of puff pastry with a sweet or savory stuffing. Bakker Baard, who's real name is Simon but who owns his nick name due to his long long beard, shops at the market for fresh fruits and vegetables and adjusts his menu to the products he finds. In this way, he always sells pies made with seasonal veggies.

I was here with my sister lately, and we tried three small clafoutis: one with figgs and dates, one with green grapes and white chocolate, and one with apple and raisins. I loved them! At Bakker Baard you can also have dinner (with savory clafoutis! - Fridays and Saturdays only) or just come by for a nice cup of coffee/tea. When it's cold, Bakker Baard also has a special kind of hot chocolate.
