Neighbors appeared before the Amsterdam municipal court on Tuesday to demand the revocation of Fabel Friet’s permit, citing unbearable overcrowding and safety hazards caused by viral TikTok queues. While acknowledging the significant pressure on the residential climate, the municipality deemed permit revocation too severe a measure. The dispute involves a new permit issued on April 26 with stricter measures, which both neighbors and the owners have challenged. Neighbors argue the situation invites accidents, whereas the restaurant highlights reduced transaction volumes at this location due to other branches and increased cleaning efforts. The court proceedings continue as the municipality balances business rights with resident welfare.
