Seafood Bar

Medieval Centre & Red Light District


Stunning tiling and white-painted timber make this a stylish dining spot. Sustainable seafood includes line-caught fish, Volendam smoked eel, North Sea crab and Texel razor clams; platters arrive on beds of crushed ice. It's a great option when other places are booked, as it only takes reservations for 30% of its seats, with the rest available for walk-in customers.

Dutch prawn croquettes and fish and chips are among the menu's other highlights.

There are branches near the Vondelpark and in De Pijp.
