A restaurant built inside a restored 1926 municipal nursery greenhouse in the Frankendael area, with an open kitchen and a menu that changes daily based on what's ready in the restaurant's own gardens and greenhouse beds. The cooking is produce-led Dutch-Mediterranean, served as a fixed multi-course menu rather than a choice of mains. The dining room keeps the tall glass-and-steel structure of the original greenhouse, so tables sit under a lot of natural light and hanging plants.
De Kas is a set-menu restaurant housed in a restored 1926 municipal greenhouse at Kamerlingh Onneslaan 3, beside Frankendael Park in Amsterdam Oost, in the Netherlands. The building originally served as a city nursery, and the kitchen still draws heavily on produce grown on-site or at partner farms, with a menu that changes daily according to what is ready in the greenhouse and garden beds. The cooking is produce-led Dutch-Mediterranean, with herbs and vegetables given as much attention as meat or fish. There is no printed à la carte: diners receive a fixed multi-course menu, and the daily greenhouse-fresh seasonal menu is the restaurant's signature. Herb-focused preparations are a recurring theme, and the wine list highlights Dutch biodynamic bottles alongside other organic choices. The dining room keeps the tall glass-and-steel structure of the original greenhouse, so tables sit beneath a great deal of natural light and hanging plants, with an open kitchen visible from the floor. The atmosphere is relaxed rather than stiff, and the noise level is moderate. Lunch is served Monday to Friday from 12:00 to 14:00 at roughly €55 per person, while dinner runs Monday to Saturday from 18:30 to 21:30 at about €95 per person. Reservations are essential and are made through the restaurant's website or on +31 20 462 4562; popular evenings should be booked well ahead. Because the menu is set, substitutions are limited beyond what is flagged at booking, so allergies and dietary preferences should be mentioned when reserving. The surrounding park makes a pleasant walk before or after a meal.
