Young children can play freely at Papote in De Baarsjes (and parents eat well)

Sophia de Rosnay has opened Papote, a soft play café in Amsterdam’s De Baarsjes neighborhood designed to provide a welcoming space for both parents and young children. Inspired by London’s café culture, the venue combines a well-designed play area with a seasonal Anglo-French menu focused on healthy, shared dishes developed with a pediatric dietitian. The establishment aims to create a stress-free environment where children can play freely while parents enjoy high-quality dining without the fear of disturbing other patrons.
