The Marlin Bar, part of Wolves Hospitality Group (known for Brasserie Margaux and Café Garçon, among others), has put a fresh spin on classic seafood dishes. The menu includes fine oysters (Fine de Claire, Irish Gold), handmade fish cakes with luxurious toppings and ceviche of corvina with smoked eel, citrus, avocado and corn foam - a subtle taste explosion according to fans. For meat lovers, there are also toppings such as tournedos with mussels and sea bass with green-goddess sauce.
The vibe? Unforced stylish. Designer Lisa Boissevain - known for Margaux and Café Garçon - delivered an interior that combines warm, nostalgic marble and wood tones with nautical details. A marble bar invites drinks while you sit at tables in soft, modern browns and greens - perfect for an intimate dinner or sun-drenched lunch.
Located at 120 Van Baerlestraat, steps from the Concertgebouw and Museumplein, The Marlin Bar is ideal for concertgoers. A special two-course menu is served before performances to start your evening off tastefully.
"An oyster with a glass of cava or Pol Roger - that's how you let life flow for a moment at the bar."
For the true gourmet, it's all about quality and seasonal produce. Think shrimp gambas, specialties like Anna Dutch caviar, and tempura zucchini for vegetarians. Dessert lovers enjoy panna cotta or triple chocolate brownie to end the meal.
