ABOUT CARSTENS
Humble Dutch ingredients with a twist
Carstens celebrates the most sustainable and seasonal Dutch ingredients from our own soils, waters & meadows…and even better those sourced from the most local suppliers, closer to Carstens than ever before. Expect humble Dutch ingredients brought to life on the plate, with surprising inspirations and modern twists on flavours, occasionally inspired also by Jeroen’s travels around the world. Each dish brings a story to tell, a local supplier to reveal and an interactive tableside moment to be shared. Picture an urban brasserie brought into the modern era smack bang in the heart of Amsterdam in a relaxed and homely atmosphere. It will be a lively, interactive experience with chefs at the table, and even guests welcome at the kitchen to get a closer look. Nothing too far-fetched, just damn tasty and interesting on the eye.
Menu
Seasonality changes all the time. At Carstens you can expect weekly menu changes, as well as monthly and quarterly. Our menus should be a true reflection of the time and place, so there is always a reason to come back. Some products have also come across the border, for example many of our wines, yet each one has a connection with the Netherlands.
Open Thursday - Sunday from 6pm
