Restaurant As
As loves pure cooking
Restaurant As is situated in the former St Nicolaas Chapel (designed by architect Lau Peters in 1962) on the edge of the Beatrixpark in Amsterdam. As represents pure cooking. Demonstrating in a respectful manner, that one organism dies to keep another alive. We serve an appealing range of dishes, largely shaped by nature. Seasonal and climatic changes determine what’s on the menu.
Suppliers
Our taste-buds are numbed under the influence of food-multinationals. Everything contains sugar, everything tastes similar. Restaurant As works with authentic, full-flavored ingredients supplied by local retailers who share our thoughts on taste, quality and sustainability.
Our kitchen
Our kitchen is directly connected to the outdoors, and so is our cooking. The weather determines our culinary course of action. Indian summer? Samba. Brass monkey weather? Braising. We cook on the open fire in our wood oven, and prepare the dishes on the stone workbench in plain view. We apply time-honored cooking methods like curing, smoking and pickling. Our freshly baked sourdough-bread completes the scene.

Lindenhoff marche
Living in Europe we are spoilt by the array of beautiful cheeses we can get. There is nothing better than a selection of different cheeses, good wine and fresh, crunchy bread. It's a meal in itself.
Some of the best cheeses are available from Lindenhoff in Baambrugge. They are our preferred supplier for all fresh ingredients for our caterings and dinners.
Their marche is open to the public from Wednesday to Saturday.
For more information please visit Lindenhoff.
Kamer 01
In the heart of Amsterdam you will find “Kamer 01” (room 1); a bed and breakfast designed with a philosophy of style and personal service.
Situated in a bend of the Singel Canal it has a view towards Flowermarket, Spui and the 9 Streets district. Surrounded by museums, cultural activities and fine restaurants, your stay at 'Kamer 01" is the beginning of your discovery of Amsterdam.
In this beautiful heritage building you will come to appreciate the typical "feel" of Amsterdam. The house was originally built in 1585 and since then was renovated almost every century since. It still has lots of original features, including the original spiral staircases, wooden ceiling beams and a visible wooden roof construction. In the breakfast room there are even some fragments of 18th century wallpaper. In 2009 the interior was professionally renovated by Atelier Hertogh to meet modern day artistic and technical standards.
The B&B has 1 Suite and 2 rooms: The Green Suite on the first floor, the Red Room on the second floor, the Blue Room on the 3rd (attic) floor. They all have en suite marble bathrooms, a sleeping area in the back and sitting/working area in the front. Then again… who can work with a view like that?
In these delightful surroundings your hosts; Peter, Wolter and Tommie the Beagle offer you a concept of personal service aimed at making your stay a memorable one.

Bilder & De Clercq
Amsterdam has of late undergone a lot of changes. There are so many exciting new places opening up and Bilder & De Clercq is one of them.
Bilder & De Clercq is a supermarket for the 21st century. The formula is quite simple. Gone are the days of having to think what’s for dinner and then compiling a list of ingredients.
Once in the store, you browse the 14 recipe tables and choose the dish you fancy. Take a recipe card with the ingredients shown and you’re good to go. All ingredients have been portioned according to the recipe. This means an end to buying more than you need for a recipe. It’s better on your wallet and less waste means it’s better for the environment too. Most recipes are designed for two people, but there are also some for those dining alone.
The store sells other products too such as organic wines, cookies, jams, hand-made bread and kitchenware. There is also a cafe where you can sit down and enjoy excellent single estate coffee and cakes.
Every week, a couple of the recipes are replaced with new ones, so that there’s always something for everyone.
There are 2 stores and you'll find them on the corner of the Bilderdijk and De Clercqstraat and on the Ceintuurbaan.
It may interest you to know the we are the chefs behind Bilder & De Clercq. We develop all their recipes and cook for and style the photographs.
