Dining in the vineyard at pop-up Fruits de Mer

'Piece' of France within cycling distance of Amsterdam? Consists! And how... How about slurping oysters and fresh ones baguettes while you sit among the vineyards sipping a tasty one wine? Sounds good nun? Even more fun is that the wine is made from the bunches of grapes you are sitting among. If we know our readers even a little bit, this French adventure in Wijngaard de Amsteltuin is exactly what everyone is looking forward to! After three successful editions, it is time again for the summer of 2024 pop-up Fruits de Mer.

As we speak - April 2024 - you can't make a reservation yet (and that's good news, because it means you still have a chance!), so keep an eye on the website to reserve a spot.

Is summer coming to an end? Don't worry. Seafood also works well in winter Fruits de Mer in the Hay Barn. And more of this? We also have: we like this the best pop-up (outdoor) restaurants of the moment.

Pop-up Fruits de Mer

Pop-up Fruits de Mer

Chef Joost van den Branden and entrepreneur Kiki Bosman have long fantasized about a real pop-up restaurant among the vineyards. Because you would think that something like this could only happen outside the Dutch borders. But that fantasy became reality when they became the owners of the Wijngaard de Amsteltuin met. A sea ​​food platter and a bottle of wine later, the first scribbled plans for a unique pop-up restaurant were on paper.

The summer of '21 was the kick-off, and the tables in the vineyard were sold out in no time. This has remained the case in the years since, so if you want to get a spot, you have to be quick! There are fifteen tables for two to four people between the bunches of grapes. After a tour of the vineyard with a glass of bubbles, the tables are filled with all kinds of goodies. Cheers!
