About the restaurant

Discover our restaurant

Heineken Hoek Restaurant is on the first floor of Leidseplein 19 in Amsterdam, with tall windows onto the square. It is open for dinner on Friday and Saturday evening, and for groups and private dining on request. On other evenings you can eat downstairs in the Grand Café, which serves dinner every day.

It is a cosy place where tasty food comes at a friendly price: good conversation, an extra glass of wine and dishes that feel both fresh and familiar. The food comes first, but the atmosphere and the little details matter just as much.

Menu

We believe a good meal is never only about what’s on the plate, it’s about the whole experience.

The restaurant serves the Bistro Menu: two courses of your choice from our menu. Every detail has been carefully thought of, to make you feel at home from the very first moment.

Private dining, events and meetings

The restaurant has its own kitchen, a DJ booth, light and sound, and tall windows onto Leidseplein. For a private dinner, a company event, a meeting or a party, it is available for groups on request, and we agree the day and time with you.
