Atmosphere and interior at Badhuis Amsterdam
In March 2024, Badhuis Amsterdam will reopen its doors. The venue, named after its original function, served as a bathhouse from the 1950s to the 1980s. One of the new owners, Riad Farhat, grew up on Insulindeweg and still remembers its original purpose from his childhood. The circle is complete for him, and the same applies to many other locals.
You can visit Badhuis from early morning until late at night. Breakfast, coffee, lunch, drinks, dinner, and more drinks: this is the go-to spot in Amsterdam Oost. The owners asked the locals what they hoped the revamped Badhuis would become, and most agreed: a place that fosters connection. In whatever form: from shared game nights to music programming to an extension of your living room.

Menu and dishes at Badhuis Amsterdam Oost
Looking at Badhuis’ menu, you’ll want to stay the whole day. Overnight cookie oats – doesn’t that sound too good to be true? And let’s not forget the French toast made from Frisian sugar bread… For those with a savoury craving, the çilbir is a must-try: poached eggs with Turkish yoghurt and beurre noisette. Lunch is equally delightful, with options like house-smoked salmon tartare, a classic Caesar salad, or a double smash burger. In short, Badhuis is your one-stop destination.
The dinner menu is just as delicious but a bit simpler. Think vegan oyster mushrooms grilled on charcoal, ravioli, farm chicken, and steak. Naturally, you finish with Badhuis’ most popular dessert: their homemade Sundae.
Bonus: you can enjoy a special Sushi Noord omakase menu every Tuesday and Wednesday at Badhuis. Be sure to make your reservation a month in advance.
