Where do the Dutch eat breakfast?

Title says it all really. I searched and found plenty of queries on Irish/English breakfasts but zip on the Netherlands. From what I understand, it's mostly a slice of bread with nutella/jam/deli meat/cheese or some combination thereof. But honestly, I was kind of hoping for something along the line of Denny's serving uitsmijters.

That one place in the center that not only is a restaurant, but you can buy the seat you're sitting on. I'll think of it soon...

Got it: Latei!

At home?

I've stayed in (big) hotels in Rotterdam & Eindhoven and breakfast has been included in the room price [Mandarin Park Plaza hotel is the hotel I'd recommend in Eindhoven] and the spread is always a huge smorgasbord of delicacies to suit all tastes.. tho I did watch some Dutch pig out on yoghurt/muesli and also filet americaine .. both which I love anyway..

Home, home, home. The same place they eat dinner, and they eat lunch at the office.

What Amsterdam needs is a good American breakfast joint, 24 hours a day.

Could not agree more Marco. The night guy at my hotel told me there was nowhere to get breakfast 24 hours a day in Amsterdam and after walking around the town for an hour and a half with the munchies at 5am I believe him

Put a Denny's in the Centrum and you'd be a rich man!

Oh sorry, you probably don't have those in the UK. Basically, it's a 24-hour place that serves breakfast all day and all night. Frequented by family types during the day and drunks, stoners, and club-goers in the wee hours of the morning.
