Adam Tower Amsterdam: this is where you must, want and will go

Adam Tower Amsterdam brings you inspiration and fun 24/7!

The old Shell Tower. The Overhoeks Tower. That long building on the IJ, right in the center behind it. Everyone knows the tower, right there between the EYE and the Tolhuistuin. Since 1966, this skyscraper has defined the skyline of Amsterdam Noord. And after years of decay and renovations, it's now been transformed into Amsterdam's new creative hub: Adam Toren Amsterdam!

This is your ticket to Japan without taking a plane 🥢 @tewatashi.ams in De Pijp serves an authentic Edo-Mae Sushi Experience and is super consistent in their quality. It's the place we keep going back to when we have something to celebrate <3. In this video I'm sharing the 2 hour experience in 60 seconds. Still dreaming about the buttery ika nigiri. 🤤 ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck { one of the best authentic Japanese restaurants in Amsterdam serving premium sushi omakase in De Pijp }
𝗔 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗳𝗲́ 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗺 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆? @eetcafe_de_reiger is the spot to remember. Cozy, casual, and a seasonal menu. This one was on my list to share for a year and finally it's (almost) asparagus season again! 🤤 Another plus? Prices are very reasonable here! 📍 Eetcafé de Reiger Jordaan, Amsterdam City Center Save this spot for when you're craving warm Dutch traditional dishes in the heart of Amsterdam. And did you hear the same team took over Eetcafé van Beeren? I can't wait to go there too! ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck
A grandma's cookbook. Three Michelin stars. And a beautiful 70s villa in a quiet neighborhood in Bangkok, where you are welcomed as if you were at the chefs' home. The Sühring brothers don't cook based on trends; they cook based on memories. Of their grandmother's farm, of the flavors of their youth in Germany, and of techniques passed down through generations. @relaischateaux invited me to experience Sühring during a solo lunch, and this is truly my ultimate definition of culinary self-care. This was a surprising afternoon in Bangkok, where I ate the best German food I have ever tasted. And that in a city where I normally avoid European restaurants. Well, for @restaurant_suhring, you really want to make that exception. Signature dishes that I still think back to regularly? 🍴 Labskaus with caviar 🍴 Enleta waffle with Pfalz vinegar 🍴 Game pâté 🍴 Dry-aged Duck TIP: When you go to Sühring, reserve seats at the kitchen bar so you have a view of the chefs at work! Follow @yourlbb for more tips you can trust. ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck #prinvited #bangkok #michelin #relaischateaux In this reels, I take you along for fine dining in Bangkok at the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Sühring.
This is one of the best free outings in the spring! Did you know that you can gather (or pick, for the connoisseurs 😉) oysters yourself at various locations in the Netherlands? I’m in Zeeland for a bit this weekend, and if we can make it, we’ll go again. 📍In this video, I show you where you can fill your bucket. Comment *oester* for the comprehensive guide with all the details about all 8 locations + handy tips and rules. Important to know: – Max. 10 kilos per person (≈ 1 bucket) – For personal use only – Do not scoop or scrape the seabed – Go at low tide Handy things to bring: Bucket, screwdriver, boots, work gloves, tea towel, clean clothes, and garbage bags (for the oysters *and* dirty clothes). And of course: bring an oyster knife, lemon, and champagne too 🍋🥂 Because you’ll want to taste something right away, won’t you! The oyster season runs from September to about April / early May, so now that the water isn't so cold, this is the perfect outing. In the full guide, I share exactly where you can easily find them, without much effort. Comment oyster and I'll send it to you right away! Who do you want to go oyster gathering with soon? ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 These are those few magical weeks each year when the city suddenly feels different. Everything is in bloom and all you want to do is be outside.

Because creative is what A'dam Toren is. Created by the inventive and artistic minds behind ID&T (Duncan Stutterheim), Mysteryland and Club Air (Sander Groet), MassiveMusic (Hans Brouwer), and real estate company Lingotto (Eric-Jan de Rooij), the tower is now rock solid. And with this collective as its backers, you can probably guess what's going on. At Adam Toren Amsterdam, it's all about the ultimate experience. Experiencing the city through the stunning 360° view from the "crown." Experiencing delicious food in the revolving restaurant. Experiencing great music in the club, and so much more. Because Adam has so much to offer both tourists and Amsterdammers.

And this brand new offering can be a bit overwhelming, so we have listed the best hotspots of A'dam Toren Amsterdam for you.

Madam Amsterdam >> Adam Tower Amsterdam >>

Madam Amsterdam is the panoramic bar and restaurant on the twentieth floor of the former Shell Tower. During the day, you can enjoy a drink and the stunning 360-degree view, but in the evening… Madam transforms into Amsterdam's highest nightclub.

moon amsterdam >> adam tower amsterdam >>

Because everything at A'dam Toren revolves around the experience, the restaurant isn't just about the food, but also about everything that happens there. And so Moon Amsterdam, the new restaurant on the 19th floor of the tower, literally revolves while you're eating. This makes it Amsterdam's first revolving rooftop restaurant!

the butcher social club >> adam rook amsterdam >>

Part of the Sir Adam Hotel is The Butcher Social Club. Here, on the first floor of the former Shell Tower, you can enjoy the tastiest burgers. These are the same burgers as those at The Butcher in De Pijp and the Foodhallen. You know, the kind that tastes good any time of day. And any time of day is perfect, because The Butcher Social Club Amsterdam is open 24 hours a day! Just be patient, though, as they won't open their doors until October.

Lookout >> Adam Tower Amsterdam >>

Adam Tower is already bursting at the seams with creativity. And the icing on the cake is Adam's impressive crown: Lookout Amsterdam. This is the observation deck at 85 meters high. From here, you have a 360° view of the entire city and far beyond. A must-see for everyone!

Do you want to go to the Look Out and swing on the Over The Edge swing? Then buy your tickets already online!

Swing >> ADAM TOWER AMSTERDAM >>

Read the previous paragraph again and imagine the observation deck at 85 meters high. Close your eyes and imagine the magnificent view of the city… If you think that's all there is to it, you're wrong! And the real icing on the cake is that they've also installed swings at this magnificent spot. For a fee, you can swing your legs over the city skyline. How cool! The swings are open to the public starting this weekend, so what are you waiting for?!

I can't wait until everything is open. Which spot will you try first? Get your tickets here!
