The delicious details

Park sits inside Hotel Arena's glass walled pavilion, where hanging ferns, raw timber and smoky blue furnishings frame views across Oosterpark. The kitchen, led by chef Sander Louwerens, works with a menu that rotates through the seasons, drawing on Mediterranean and French traditions with a distinct Amsterdam thread.

Dishes lean on regional products, from Zeeuwse oysters and smoked duck to a charcuterie board built around Amsterdam ossenworst and local cheese. Herbs and vegetables come partly from the restaurant's own garden behind the building. The terrace, winner of the Talkies Magazine Best Terrace Award 2025, stretches into the park and doubles as an all day meeting point for the neighbourhood.

What is on the table

All-day café and restaurant in a glass pavilion serving seasonal European dishes with Mediterranean and French influences. Spring brings asparagus, wild garlic and samphire; year-round staples include beef tartare, flat iron steak and Zeeuwse oysters. Vegetarian and vegan options are available and clearly marked.

The menu spans breakfast, lunch and dinner, shifting with the seasons. Spring brings asparagus, wild garlic and samphire alongside year round staples such as beef tartare, flat iron steak and Zeeuwse oysters. Vegetarian options are clearly marked throughout, including a pointed cabbage main with cauliflower cream, miso and hazelnut, and a green pea and mint risotto. A red carrot burger provides a plant based alternative to the classic hamburger. Fish appears as cod with beurre blanc and sea bass with antiboise and black rice.

Vegan items are available and labelled on the menu, though the selection is more limited than the vegetarian range. The kitchen accommodates dietary requests and provides allergen information cards.
