The Cornelis Schuytstraat is known for its refined character, and that is exactly where Brasserie Van Dam fits in seamlessly. Here everything is about experience: seeing and being seen, while enjoying a relaxed, almost Parisian atmosphere. It is this unique combination of elegance and accessibility that has made the brasserie so popular for over 25 years.
Under the leadership of Nicolette van Dam and her brother Sebastian van Dam the family feeling remains tangible. As soon as you step inside, you feel the warm hospitality that is so characteristic of this place. Whether you take a seat at the bar, in the stylish interior or on the sunny terrace overlooking the lively street - everything is right.
The menu is versatile and contemporary, with dishes that are both classic and surprising. Think country bread with egg truffle salad, a richly filled Tom Kha Kai soup or one of the popular shared platters. Comfort food lovers also get their money's worth with a filet americain or pulled chicken sandwich. In the evening, the focus shifts to hearty classics such as the Black Angus burger from the Big Green Egg, truffle ravioli and honey glazed chicken.
“At Van Dam, it's not just about food and drink, but the feeling that you're always in the right place.”
For drinks, Van Dam offers a playful selection of bites, from gyoza to Zeeland oysters, perfectly paired with a good glass of wine or a fresh Pornstar Martini. This versatility makes the brasserie suitable for any occasion: a quick coffee, an extensive lunch, a cozy drink or an intimate dinner.
The success of Brasserie Van Dam is not only in its cuisine, but especially in its consistent quality and atmosphere. It is a place where generations come together and where every visit feels like coming home in style - exactly as you would expect in Old South.
