Ten minutes from Waterlooplein

Restaurant near Dutch National Opera & Ballet

Dinner before the opera or ballet: Chez van Rijn is about a ten-minute walk from Dutch National Opera & Ballet. French, festive and timed to the performance.

An evening in style

An evening at Dutch National Opera & Ballet deserves an overture in style: white linen, candlelight and a menu of French classics. After dinner it is about a ten-minute walk to Waterlooplein, or a quick metro ride from Rokin.

In good time

Opera starts on the dot. Tell us your curtain time and the kitchen builds the menu around it: two or three courses, perfectly paced. Early performance? Dinner is ready from 17:00; until 16:00 there is lunch.

The final chord

Let the applause fade, then return for the real final chord: a Grand Finale of crème brûlée, a Sauternes or a French Coffee at the bar. Until 01:00 on weekdays, 02:00 at weekends.
