Cornerstore

Cornerstore sits in a converted warehouse on Papaverweg in Amsterdam Noord, where an open kitchen, warm lighting by designer Nikki Hock and a vinyl centred sound system set the tone for evenings built around sharing plates and natural wine.

Chef Guus Lourijsen draws on Japanese and broader Asian cooking traditions to build a menu that places seasonal vegetables at its centre. Meat and fish appear as supporting options rather than defaults, and the kitchen changes its offering daily.

The natural wine list sources from small producers across France, Italy, Spain, Georgia and Japan, with sake completing a beverage programme rooted in independent production.
