The Seafood Bar
About
The Seafood Bar is a family‑owned chain that has become a staple of Amsterdam’s dining scene since 2012. Originating in Van Baerlestraat, the restaurant has expanded to several city locations—and even a London outpost—while staying true to its roots: fresh, sustainably‑farmed seafood served in a relaxed, contemporary setting. In the De Pijp (Ferdinand Bolstraat 32) location, guests can enjoy classic dishes such as oysters, scallops, and mussels, as well as daily specials featuring local catch on a clean, airy terrace. The menu balances traditional Dutch seafood with a touch of Mediterranean flair, and vegetarian options are available. The bar’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its use of line‑caught fish, responsibly sourced crabs, and an eco‑friendly waste‑reduction policy. Whether you come for a quick lunch, a sophisticated dinner, or a casual drink, The Seafood Bar offers a convivial atmosphere, free Wi‑Fi, and a friendly staff eager to recommend the best local fare. Reservations are optional but recommended during busy times; walk‑ins are welcome, and the venue accommodates both intimate dining and larger groups with a dedicated private‑dining room.
