You could almost say that Chef Rick Swinkels goes back to his basics. To how his culinary career all began! From pop-ups to own restaurants such as Jacobsz and Sjefietshe, back to a life as a free chef, the recently opened Marisqueria and POP-UPS! You could say doing what he is good at: coming up with surprising dishes and restaurant concepts. Bennies promises to be a no-nonsense restaurant where you can enjoy surprising, high-quality dishes that are anything but standard. Dishes that seem simple at first glance, but promise to be a true taste explosion.

Get tickets for bennies and join them at the industrial location in the schinkel district
Prepare yourself for an unforgettable culinary evening with a relaxed atmosphere and great service. You join us at 6:00 PM, 7:00 PM or 8:00 PM and can continue to dine until late. Of course I also visit the boys myself and I am very curious about the dishes that I already saw on Instagram. Chef Rick Swinkels opens the pop-up together with Santino Koopmanschap and Isidoor van Esch, who are making their debut in the Amsterdam catering industry with Bennies. In addition, I really like the location! In the raw and somewhat forgotten part of Oud-Zuid on one of the few industrial estates in the city that is not completely filled with apartments.
During the day they are open for take-away between 12:00 and 15:00 with the option for lunch.
You must buy tickets for the dinner in advance to guarantee a spot during the pop-up. Check the link below for prices and availability!
