Palladium, Amsterdam

This Grand Cafe, located at Leidseplein, doubles as a restaurant and discotheque. The interiors are lovely and the cafe is certainly conducive to people watching. The terrace and the atrium are spots to while away a few hours on a sunny day. At night, Palladium turns into a discotheque. Watch out for the bouncers as 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.
