The Chef
Floris van Straalen began his culinary journey at the age of 15. What began as a humble start led to a lasting passion for the craft.
His dishes are inspired by Japanese and French influences, shaped by experience in the kitchens of chefs like Sergio Herman and Dennis Kuipers. Currently, he works with 3-Michelin-starred chef Jannis Brevet as a mentor.
The building
Step into the first floor of a former university building from 1908 in Amsterdam, where history greets you in every detail—from the original wooden beams to the stained-glass windows.
Take a seat beneath soaring ceilings, with large windows overlooking Oosterpark and an open kitchen framed by a marble bar, setting the stage for your night out.
