Dear friends of Noorderlicht,

From Wednesday, January 15, we’re open seven days a week again! Our opening hours will be 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, as the evenings are too cold in our temporary building, which unfortunately is not winterproof. With the new construction delayed until 2029, we’re planning improvements to make the space warmer and more comfortable—once we have the necessary permissions.

Our kitchen stays open with a cozy menu of soups, sandwiches, and snacks. While the full lunch and dinner options are on pause, we’re excited to bring you a fresh and vibrant new menu by mid-March.

Of course, our cultural and club program will continue as always. Noorderlicht remains the coziest spot in Amsterdam—a place to feel at home and be inspired.

A brief story about us:

Noorderlicht is not just a culinary hangout but also a cultural oasis for those seeking refuge from the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam. Located in the raw, industrial, and artistic ambiance of the NDSM yard, we provide a stage for musicians and artists who share our mission of brightening the world. Come visit us to experience it for yourself.

Pof Amsterdam

Have you met our little sister yet? Her name is Pof. Just around the corner, only 10 minutes by bike from Noorderlicht. Our newly opened restaurant has a unique, sustainable and local story. As the first, real short-chain restaurant of the Netherlands, we work almost exclusively with products from our direct neighbors and surroundings. Also everything we serve is traditional and ‘home-made’, including all drinks. In addition, we are the only restaurant in the world that serves local Dutch wines only. Which are very tasteful and selected carefully. Pof is located in the middle of a beautiful urban farming project on the edge of Amsterdam North, where small-scale food producers are working and cooperating on a sustainable future. So if you are visiting Pof you would definitely do a little NoordOogst-tour to get inspired by all the lovely initiatives you will pass by.
