Lagom Amsterdam is a spacious all-day brunch shop in the heart of the city centre, just outside the hustle and bustle of the Red Light District. Lagom is a Swedish expression for something just right, meaning neither too much nor too little. This Swedish relaxed attitude, where balance is the key word, is carried through here in the Amsterdam restaurant.
