Atmosphere and interior at Restaurant Kwie Kwie Amsterdam

Restaurant Kwie Kwie was named after a tropical fish from Suriname. And you've probably guessed it: at this pop-up restaurant, which will remain open until at least May, you'll be enjoying Surinamese food.

Kwie Kwie is located in the same area as Barracuda Restaurant on Aambeeldstraat and is owned by the same people. In fact, Kwie Kwie has a temporary home in the former Barracuda Bar. For this pop-up, they collaborated with London Loy, Maus Meeuwig, Noni Kooiman, and Joey Baal. The atmosphere is relaxed, cozy, and informal, and the interior is pleasantly colorful—as you'd expect from their other establishments.
