Fancy lunch in Alkmaar? At Anne&Max you slide in for a moment of enjoyment right in the heart of the city. Right on the canal, with a view of the old town. We are a lunch spot for everyone: a quick sandwich on the go, an extensive board with your favorite company or a bowl with a smoothie on the flower barge.
cozy Lunch in downtown Alkmaar
Are you walking from Langestraat or the Laat? Then you’ll come right up to Anne&Max. Our corner store is located across from the Platte Stenenbrug, nestled between Alkmaar’s two most famous shopping streets. Step inside, leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind for a moment, and relax in a bright, welcoming space. It features cozy nooks, a play area for kids, and tables by the windows for those who love to people-watch.
And on sunny days? Then you can enjoy lunch on the large terrace by the canal. Heated cushions ensure your comfort even on cooler days. And if you’re with a group or looking for a more secluded spot, our flower barge is the perfect setting.
Lunch on the flower barge
A unique experience in Alkmaar: lunch on the water. Our flower barge is moored right next to the terrace and is available for breakfast, lunch, or special occasions such as a baby shower or birthday party. On weekends, this is a popular spot for groups of friends and families—a little removed from the rest, but still part of the Anne&Max feeling of coming home.
Enjoy our lunch platter for two, a salad, or soup with fresh sourdough bread. Everything is prepared with love, using mostly organic and local ingredients. And for those who need an extra boost of energy: our fresh juices are a real pick-me-up.

A lunch break that could be more
At Anne&Max, lunch isn’t just about the food. It’s a time to catch up, clear your head, or simply enjoy your own company. Take a seat in one of our cozy corners with a view of the city, flip through a newspaper or book, and let your lunch come to you at your own pace.
It's also a great place for kids: with a play area full of books and games, they can keep themselves quietly entertained while you enjoy your cappuccino for a little while longer.
