About

Café Bolle Jan

Toscanini is a cozy Italian restaurant known for its authentic pasta dishes and warm atmosphere. Inspired by traditional Tuscan cooking, the menu features handmade pasta, seasonal ingredients, and carefully selected wines. Guests can enjoy classic favorites such as carbonara, tagliatelle al ragù, and fresh seafood specials. The intimate setting makes it ideal for both casual dinners and special occasions. Friendly service and consistently high-quality food have made Toscanini a local favorite in Almere.

Café Bolle Jan is not a daytime café or conventional brown bar. It is a tiny, exuberant live-music venue where Dutch songs, packed crowds and collective singing form the entire experience. The current café has occupied its location on Rembrandtplein since 1981 and remains a family-run Amsterdam institution.

Live performers appear every evening, singing a mixture of Dutch popular music, sentimental levensliederen and familiar party songs. This is not karaoke: professional entertainers lead the evening while almost everyone in the room joins the chorus.

The interior is compact, warmly lit and often extremely crowded. Regulars stand shoulder to shoulder around the bar, drinks are kept simple and the atmosphere usually becomes louder as the night progresses. International visitors are welcome, although most lyrics and audience interaction are in Dutch.
