Drinks & dinner in Amsterdam
An informal drinks reception, a sit-down dinner or a walking dinner: at Het Plantsoen in the Jordaan you eat and drink together at an atmospheric waterside venue.
Would rather talk it through first? Call or email us, we're happy to think along.
Eating and drinking together in the Jordaan
At Marnixplein 1 you can organise drinks in Amsterdam, a dinner with your group or a walking dinner with courses that circulate. Plenty of natural light, greenery around you and a covered terrace by the water.
Just as suited to a small gathering as a large group — from 10 to 320 guests, with no venue hire fee. We work out the format, the layout and the catering together with you.
Drinks
Drinks in Amsterdam, informal and relaxed
Drinks at the bar, bites that circulate and guests free to move around the room — a drinks reception where conversation takes centre stage.
Whether it's after-work drinks or the start of a longer evening, we discuss beforehand what drinks and bites suit the occasion.


Dinner & walking dinner
Dinner, dinner buffet or walking dinner
A sit-down dinner with your group, a dinner buffet where guests help themselves, or a walking dinner in Amsterdam with courses that circulate while your guests mingle.
The format sets the tone of the evening. Tell us how you envisage it, and we'll help you think through the layout and the flow.
Food and drink
Food and drink tailored to you
We shape the food and drink around your group and the flow of the evening — from bites with drinks to a sit-down dinner.
Vegetarian and vegan options are available, and we take dietary requirements and allergies into account. Let us know your wishes in your request, and we'll factor them into the proposal.
We use the venue's lighting to set the mood: warm during dinner, more energetic later in the evening.

So the drinks carry on outside too: a glass in hand, the water beside you and the city around you.

From small to large
From 10 to 320 guests, with no venue hire fee
Drinks with a select group calls for a different layout than a dinner with hundreds of guests — we help you think through the set-up that suits. You pay no venue hire fee.
