Hesp

Riverside Elegance with a Taste of History

As a venue, Hesp has versatility down pat. It operates as both as a traditional Dutch brown café - a nod to over 125 years of history - and an uncomplicated dining spot.Try a beer from their array of brews on tap, or go for their curated selection of wines by the glass. Their menu is no-nonense while the menu offers uncomplicated dishes made with quality ingredients—affordable yet satisfying.

In the summertime, the terrace offers prime waterside seating with unobstructed views of the Amstel. Emulating the charm of a boulevard along the French Riviera, Hesp is the ideal place for a long unhurried afternoon by the water. And the fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down either - Hesp is a popular place for night-time drinks, staying open past midnight on Friday and Saturday.
