On the Zeedijk, in the middle of the Nieuwmarkt neighbourhood, is Kaap/Tein: a restaurant where attention to taste and hospitality are key. In historic surroundings, the establishment offers an accessible place for both local residents and visitors to the city.

Chef and owner Sander Horbach is regularly in the kitchen himself. The dishes are characterised by bright flavours and a no-nonsense approach. The atmosphere is informal and casual, which is why the restaurant likes to profile itself as “the living room of the Zeedijk”, a place you walk into for a good meal and a pleasant glass of wine.

In February and March, Cape/Tein is organising a oyster happy hour with Umami oysters from Vishandel Tel for €2 each. A low-threshold way to get acquainted with the restaurant or just stop by for a small treat. If successful, the promotion may be extended.

This makes Kaap/Tein a fine local spot for those looking for good food and drink in a relaxed setting in the heart of Amsterdam.
