We know the busy streets of Amsterdam can get overwhelming at times, and not everyone has the time to plan an escape to a far away place. If you want to experience a mini retreat away from the craziness, visit De Gouden Reael on the tiny t’IJ ‘island’ Reaeleneiland for a seasonal meal. Their kitchen aims to reimagine traditional Dutch flavours with inventive twists.

From the outside, BAK doesn’t look like much. But once you take the stairs up to the third floor of this stripped back, unassuming warehouse & step inside, you’ll see what all the fuss is about. This industrial-style restaurant overlooking the former timber port of Amsterdam serves up a delicious vegetable-focused tasting menu. Ask for a table by the window to best enjoy the exceptional views & tasty bites.

With so many people already working remotely & more transitioning to that working from home lifestyle by the day, the work week can get a little monotonous. When boredom strikes (or we desperately need a little human interaction) we like to settle in at VENU for a day or two. It’s the perfect place to collaborate or simply create on your own. At VENU, inspiration is always flowing.

When you’re going to the movies, now you can really go to The Movies. We adore this arthouse cinema, which just so happens to be the oldest in the city, because if its well-curated selection of both interesting, independent films & quality blockbusters. After a recent revamp, this cinema is back and better than ever. We've never been more excited to sit quietly in the dark for hours on end.
