I am not much of a shopper but the Christmas Display of De Bijenkorf department store in Amsterdam somehow catches my attention each and every year. This year, the Christmas Display of De Bijenkorf did not disappoint me. If you happen to be in Amsterdam, it might be worth a couple of minutes of your time to look at them🌷🌷🌷 (Correction: i am mixing up the months again. For my Hotel Penaga review here below, the date of experience should be October 2023 and not September 2023. Again, my sincere apologies for my error😃)

Although a lovely department store, the cafeteria was extremely disappointing. We wanted a healthy salad and asked several employees in the food court to point us to the right food station, but nobody seemed to have any idea of what was on offer and didn't seem to care. We finally found the large salad station but it was completely empty and featured only a tureen of soup. Why? So we ended up with cheese and salad sandwiches, which were extremely dry (possibly a Dutch thing) so needed butter. The charge was 1.5 euros for two small pats.

Sir or Madam, your shop and staff are excellent. I have tried to find out if you still sell the square Royal Delft Rabbit money boxes. When friends have babies I always get one in your store besides other shopping. Do you still stock them. Regards George Armstrong. commodoregeorge@hotmail.com
