D’Swarte Walvis
At only fifteen minutes from the centre of Amsterdam, one of the most beautiful and most historic areas of the Netherlands is located: De Zaanse Schans. This most iconic attraction is visited by everyone from locals to domestic and foreign tourists. De Zaanse Schans is a monumental area situated in a typically Dutch countryside along the river the Zaan. This unique area in the Netherlands is an extraordinary part of the world heritage site. And amidst this special place, our restaurant is located!
You are welcome in our restaurant from Tuesday till Sunday for lunch, drinks and dinner. From the year 2018, we have chosen a different arrangement for our menu card. We have opted for a less traditional style (‘appetizer, main, dessert’) menu, but rather a choice of different delicious standalone dishes. On one hand, we wanted to emphasize the regional products which are exclusively available in this area. And on the other hand, we also decided on a worldlier approach regarding flavours and accents from nearby and far away for the menu. Consequently we created a perfect fit to represent the history of the “Zaan” region, where locally built ships from all over the world brought in products and processed them here.
