PARK café restaurant

PARK café / restaurant

PARK café / restaurant is a hide-away in Oosterpark where you start the day, skip class in the afternoon sun, work for another hour, join friends, and come back again and again. The place where a work meeting accidentally turns into drinks, and a bite to eat can easily become a feast. PARK is an evergreen in the trendy Oost borough, and it is part of Hotel Arena.

Amstelhaven

Close to the prestigious Amstelhotel is café-restaurant Amstelhaven with an impressive terrace on decking on the water. As a result, on sunny days many pleasure boats moor for a bottle of rosé and a salad. The interior is straightforward with an art deco detail here and there. On less sunny days, it contains mostly working people for a drink to eat afterwards (carpaccio, pasta bolognese, half a chicken) and to dance until late at night on weekends. There is live music every Sunday.

Caffe Milo

Bar/restaurant Caffe Milo is located near Hotel Arena and Oosterpark. The retro interior of this beautiful corner building contains many shades of brown, 60s lamps and round shapes. Right outside the door is a terrace made with white Italian designer furniture. The (small) affordable menu is Italian, with classics such as insalata caprese, tuna carpaccio and pollo al vino. After dinner you can enjoy professionally shaken cocktails and mingle with the in-crowd.

Ruk & Pluk

There’s always something to celebrate in this popular café, where the worldly barmaids welcome you wholeheartedly, and the ambiance is ideal for enjoying a drink. A favourite hangout among Amsterdammers.

Bar Bukowski

Writer Charles Bukowski once said 'there is always a reason to drink', and nowhere does this ring more true than at his namesake bar in Amsterdam Oost.

Café Kuijper

A pleasant place for lunch in the afternoon and drinks in the evening, Café Kuijper is a neighbourhood standard that locals can’t get enough of. When searching for something to do on an otherwise subdued Tuesday evening, head over to Kuijper to join in on a lively pub quiz – if you win, they’ll pick up your tab.

Saffraan de Amstel
