Neighborhood Guide
At the end of the 19th century, as Amsterdam’s city center became increasingly crowded, there was a growing need for a green neighborhood close to downtown. At Van Eeghen’s initiative, architect Zocher designed Willemspark in 1881, which borders Vondelpark. A few decades later, the first villas began to spring up there, surrounding the ponds. Stately buildings in classical architectural styles welcomed affluent families to this quieter and greener part of the city. The grandeur of that era remains intact. Most of the buildings have been renovated, and the avenues and greenery, as originally envisioned, have matured. Both the residents and the culinary offerings—including the Vlaamsch Broodhuys, chocolatier Linnick, greengrocer Wessels, Michelin-starred restaurant Ron Gastrobar, the French seafood restaurant VISQUE, and several caterers—give this residential neighborhood its contemporary allure. Located between Vondelpark, Koninginneweg, and Amstelveenseweg, with the Museum Quarter within walking distance, this is a unique oasis within Amsterdam to call home, where relaxation and inspiration are always close at hand.

Tamari Ya
Tamari Ya was founded by Imoto Yoshihisa and Yazawa Yuji, two Japanese entrepreneurs who started a farm-stay retreat in their village near Hiroshima and opened their first donut shop there in 2023 to revitalize their community. Out of their love for rice, they developed the komeko donut, made from rice flour from their own region and therefore naturally gluten-free. In Amsterdam, the donuts are handmade daily and fried in rice oil, without preservatives or colorants. The texture is different from what you are used to: less fluffy, more chewy, with varieties such as old fashioned or yeast-raised in flavors such as matcha, black sesame, and pistachio. The quiet, wood-dominated shop on Overtoom feels like a piece of the Japanese countryside in the city, where attention to food and the environment is central.
