Eatery De Reiger
Eetcafé De Reiger in the Jordaan neighborhood is still that neighborhood café where you can easily pop in for a good meal and a nice glass of wine, but behind the scenes, something has changed. Since 2025, De Reiger has been run by the same entrepreneurs you may know from Entrepot, Metro, and De Druif: young hospitality entrepreneurs with a keen eye for atmosphere, simplicity, and quality. They haven't changed much about the café; the wooden floor still creaks like it used to, and the Amstel signs are deliberately hung upside down, but in the kitchen, just that little bit of extra attention has been added. Think simple but well-prepared classics at a reasonable price and always something tasty on tap. A café where the past is cherished, but where the future is served up at the table.

Erik Nieuwendijk (56) and Jackie Tack (51), the passionate owners of restaurant Dos, have a culinary journey of 25 years behind them.

With Roberto and Jesus, who together have more than 60 years of experience in Spanish cuisine, the authentic character of Dos is enhanced.
