New in De Pijp (Amsterdam): all-day rotisserie restaurant Ceintuur Theater
Right across from the metro station in De Pijp, you will find an iconic former movie theater. Coffee & Coconuts was located here for years, but now this beautiful building has been completely transformed... Meet Ceintuur Theater. A all-day A rotisserie restaurant where quality and simplicity come first, seven days a week. Yes! A delicious combination. A rotisserie restaurant? That is a restaurant where meat is grilled very slowly and evenly on a spit. This makes it juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Yum. Amsterdam is already teeming with amazing restaurants, but according to owner Ricardo da Cruz Paulino, a true rotisserie destination was still missing. Ceintuur Theater is a dream come true for him.
After years of cooking at the highest level in Amsterdam's Michelin-starred gastronomy (including at restaurant Lars), Chef Atti de Moll is now charting a new course at Ceintuur Theater: a rotisserie in a former cinema in the heart of De Pijp. Here, everything revolves around fire, quality, and flavor, with the rotisserie at its center. Expect dishes with influences from around the world, from jerk chicken wings and accras to sea bass with red curry. And, of course, the rotisserie spins every day for our piri-piri chicken. A place where you will easily end up staying longer than planned.
Big plus for flex workers: a special co-working space has been set up where you can work comfortably all day long.
Ceintuur Theater also organizes fun events, such as Samba Sundays and the Rotisserie Takeover, featuring delicious food and music. During the Rotisserie Takeover, the restaurant invites various Amsterdam chefs to give their own signature to the rotisserie. A wide variety of cuisines are featured, from Moroccan to Mexican.
There is also reason enough to stop by on Fridays: from now on, a DJ will be spinning every Friday, effortlessly transitioning dinner into drinks. Exactly how a Friday night is meant to be.
And as far as we're concerned, those drinks can start a bit earlier. Every day between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM, all cocktails cost €8. Reason enough to pull up a chair a little earlier!
