East Beach (on the roof of Orchid House, overlooking Oosterpark) is the place for sunny Amsterdam summer evenings. As soon as the sun comes out, this rooftop terrace (with room for 400 people!) transforms into an urban beach, where you can fully embrace that holiday feeling after work or on your day off... without having to leave the city. And what is a beach day without something tasty? With your feet in the sand and your bum in a beach chair, on a beanbag, or at a picnic table, you can enjoy ice-cold buckets of beer, refreshing sangria, or spritz. The menu is also all about summer vibes. Feast on oysters and crispy calamari, or go for classic favorites like bitterballen or a portion of fries with Parmesan and truffle. In the mood for something a bit more elaborate? Then simply pull up a chair one floor down at Orchid House for lunch or dinner. Meanwhile, the kids (if you bring them along) can entertain themselves with an ice cream, a game of table tennis, or a pétanque tournament.
