About

The Seafood Bar is a family‑owned chain that has become a staple of Amsterdam’s dining scene since 2012. Founded by fishmonger Fons de Visscher, the flagship restaurant on Van Baerlestraat quickly grew into a high‑traffic venue that now boasts five cities across the Netherlands and the United Kingdom – including a popular Soho location in London. The concept is simple: impeccably fresh, sustainably sourced seafood served in a relaxed yet stylish setting that encourages long‑duration dining. Guests can enjoy light lunch sets, hearty platters of fish, shellfish and meats, and a daily “platter of the day” featuring the season’s best catches. The décor blends contemporary design with classic touches, creating an inviting atmosphere for solo diners, families, and business groups alike. Committed to sustainability, the restaurant works with MSC‑ and MSA‑certified suppliers, uses wind‑powered energy, and implements a zero‑waste policy, ensuring that the culinary experience does not compromise the planet’s health. Whether you’re a culinary enthusiast, a sustainability advocate, or simply looking for a reliable, quality dining option in the heart of Amsterdam, The Seafood Bar offers a welcoming environment, attentive service, and a menu that celebrates the very best of fresh seafood.
