The Siren
If you’re looking for a private dining room in Amsterdam city center that gives you that real wow factor, then The Siren is the place to be. This restaurant is located on the Rokin, right in the heart of Amsterdam, within walking distance of Amsterdam Central Station and with a metro stop right outside. I think it’s a perfect place to take international colleagues. It almost feels non-Amsterdam and reminds me of restaurants you would only find in New York or Dubai.
The interior of this Mediterranean restaurant is maximalist and full of unique details. They have a private dining room that can accommodate up to 22 guests. Rich materials, warm colors, and a classic atmosphere are combined with modern elements. The room is designed with great attention to detail, creating beautiful conversations around the table.
For the group dinner, you can choose from menus such as: “The Seashell” with delicacies like Beluga caviar and Vitello Tonnato, or “The Pearl” featuring highlights like Wagyu tartare and Bistecca Fiorentina. Of course, there’s a selection of sparkling wines in all price ranges to start the evening off right.
An evening in The Siren’s private dining room is more than just a meal; it’s an experience that transports you to the Mediterranean coast through the rich interior that sparks the imagination. And all of this in the heart of Amsterdam!
