Groups up to 100 guests
Group dinner in Amsterdam, at one long table in Noord
Planning a group dinner in Amsterdam starts with a table long enough for everyone. We have those. Our restaurant at Papaverhoek in Noord seats up to 100 guests, holds 150 standing, and is a short walk from the NDSM ferry.
We cook Mediterranean and serve family-style: big platters in the middle, everyone helps themselves. Three courses cost €35 per person, four courses €40. Mediterranean state of mind, at any table length.
Best for
- Team dinners and company dinners for 10 to 100 guests
- Birthdays and family gatherings at long tables
- Group lunch or business lunch during the day
- Dinners that open or close with drinks and bites
- Groups that like to share their food
How our group dinners work
One menu for the whole table, agreed with our kitchen in advance. We serve in courses and bring out several platters at once, so nobody has to choose between the calamari and the padróns. You send us the guest count and any dietary needs; we set the long tables.
Sharing changes the shape of an evening. Platters travel, arms cross over the table, conversation follows. That is why every group here eats family-style.
What lands on the table
The menu shifts with the seasons, but the rhythm stays the same. First fresh bread with aioli, caponata and a spinach and chickpea salad. Then small plates: cheese croquettes, calamari, pimentos de padrón. For mains the table shares piri piri chicken, grilled sea bass, patatas bravas, green asparagus and Greek salad.
The 4-course menu closes with churros and a classic dame blanche. Feeding everyone from one pan also works: our paella serves up to 60 guests, with a vegan option, priced on request.
A restaurant for large groups in Amsterdam-Noord
The restaurant seats up to 100 guests and holds 150 standing. For a large group we push tables together into one long line, or split the party over a few tables in the same room.
Want the room to yourselves? We can close the restaurant for your dinner; ask us for a quote. And in summer the evening can start outside: our terrace on the water seats up to 200.
Group lunch and business lunch
Daytime works just as well. For a group lunch or business lunch we serve fresh Mediterranean sandwiches, with hot drinks, still and sparkling water and fresh juice.
Teams spending the whole day here can book a meeting package: half a day with lunch for €32.50 per person, or a full day with lunch, croissants and bites for €65.
Start or end with a borrel
Drinks before dinner get a group talking. We welcome you with cava (€6 a glass), Aperol Spritz (€7) or a Paloma (€10), plus borrel snacks at €7 per person: two kinds of croquettes, bread with aioli and manchego cheese.
During and after dinner you can settle per drink, or book a bar package: Basic Bar with house wine, Peroni and sodas, or Premium Bar with cocktails and special beers. Anyone lingering after dessert orders an Espresso Martini for €10.
