Bar Kantoor - 103 seats inside & 150 seats outside - a large sunny terrace

Bar Kantoor is the cosiest 100% organic restaurant in Amsterdam! Our top team, a cosy team of 20 colleagues, is ready for our guests from early morning until late at night. Whether they come for breakfast, coffee, lunch, drinks or dinner; it is all prepared with love in our 100% electric and organic kitchen and bar. Sustainable entrepreneurship is something we were brought up on. That's why we only work with seasonal products and local suppliers. Anyways! Our guests are welcome throughout the day and can sit at a table in our cosy, historic building or on our large sunny terrace.
