Ode to the Amstel Amsterdam – meeting, dining and socializing by the water
Meet with a view of the Amstel and then gather around the table. At Ode to the Amstel, you combine your meeting, presentation, lunch, dinner, and drinks all in one location in Amsterdam.

Ode to the Amstel is a restaurant and business event venue right on the Amstel in Amsterdam. Here you will find two meeting rooms and a separate upper floor that can accommodate up to 80 people seated or 125 guests standing. The location is suitable for meetings, presentations, team days, business dinners, corporate drinks, and private events.

Why choose Ode to the Amstel?
Ode to the Amstel works well when you want to combine content and relaxation. You meet upstairs and then easily move to the restaurant, bar, or terrace.

This way, your group stays at the same location all day. Start with a presentation, have lunch together, and finish with drinks by the water.

The location is suitable for meetings, presentations, team days, business lunches, and dinners. Corporate drinks, networking events, and private business events are also possible.

Rooms and capacity
For smaller and larger business gatherings, various spaces are available:

• Room Berlage: maximum 20 people
• Room Amstel: maximum 60 people
• Entire upper floor: 80 people seated or 125 standing

The upper floor can be used independently. This provides your group with more privacy during a meeting or private gathering.

From meeting to lunch, dinner, and drinks
You start upstairs with coffee and an informative session. After the meeting, you don't need to go to another location. You simply walk downstairs for lunch.

On the ground floor, the restaurant, bar, and open kitchen create a lively setting. The open kitchen adds to the atmosphere. You can see what's happening and are close to the action. If your group seeks more privacy, the first floor offers its own setting with more seclusion.

Later, the atmosphere naturally shifts. The bar opens, the group continues to chat, and on sunny days, the terrace beckons. From here, you look out over the Amstel and passing boats.

You can also organize a business dinner at the same location. The kitchen serves all-day dining with Asian influences and a changing menu.

This way, you build one program around different moments. From meeting to lunch, drinks, and dinner, without intermediate relocations.

Terrace by the Amstel

Arriving by water is also an option. Ode to the Amstel is accessible by boat, and docking at the location is possible. This way, you can combine a boat trip with your business program.
