Get to know BUITEN Beach Café and Restaurant, the new hotspot at the SLoterplas

No car, but still craving the beach? No problem, because you can quickly reach BUITEN Beach Café and Restaurant by metro or bike. And upon closer inspection, the Sloterplas lake turns out to be a pleasant chaos in the summer with day trippers, playing children, young families, and guests of the new BUITEN.

Although Hotel Buiten was declared bankrupt earlier last year, hospitality entrepreneurs Jos van Heese (Bar Hout) and Reinout Ezinga (IJVER) see potential in the place. They want to transform BUITEN back into a pleasant neighborhood spot, open year-round and welcoming to everyone.
