Café/restaurant

Looking for a place to meet up?

Feel at home in our café/restaurant next to the Plein Theater on the Sajetplein in Amsterdam East! 

Enjoy each other’s company inside, or outside on our covered terrace. For children there is a playground right next to the terrace.

Inside, it’s warm and cosy in our souterrain, built in 1871 as employees’ canteen for the former Amstel Brewery complex on the Mauritskade.

Our menu & story

Every weekend from the afternoon onwards we guarantee you a varied menu with appetizers that you don't want to miss.

There is the soup of the week; alternately consisting of freshly made saoto soup, tomato soup, pumpkin soup or peanut soup. Surinamese pastries and fried snacks should not be missing with your drink with your favorite company. There will also be a varied range of toasties, which we will gladly prepare for you according to your wishes. All our food are primarily vegetarian and meat is available on request.

Every now and then we organize Plein Tables around cultural activities, where, in addition to the main course, we cut into social or activist themes. We like to invite our neighbours and locals to join the table and the conversation! Our source of inspiration is the rich diversity of cultures that live side by side in Amsterdam East. Do you want to bring your extraordinary foodculture into the spotlights as well? We are open to guest chefs and ideas for activities around art, culture & food.

In addition to stimulating the taste buds, we take a lot of care in creating a homely meeting place with a friendly atmosphere for a characteristic Plein Theater & Eetlokaal experience.

And while you’re inside, be sure to check out the walls, where we exbibit art of artists from our district.
