Cafe Restaurant De Baanderij is a French-Mediterranean cafe-restaurant on the NDSM Wharf in Amsterdam Noord, directly on the IJ waterfront. Its scale, its large sunny terrace and its all-day kitchen make it a practical choice for group lunches, corporate drinks and exclusive events.
The NDSM Wharf is a former shipyard turned creative district, reached by the free GVB passenger ferry from behind Amsterdam Central Station - an arrival across the IJ that works well as part of an incentive program. The restaurant is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch, drinks and dinner.
