Perfect location for lunch, drinks, or a party. Fair and local food with a beautiful view. The filling salads are my absolute favorite!
Roos Peters
Fantastic experience! I would absolutely recommend Kanteen 25! The staff are super friendly and efficient and the food is amazing! The space is perfect for an intimate lunch or a larger group and there are plenty of seating areas away from the main eating area to catch up with friends or have a work session. My new favourite place!!
Réjane van der Meer
Great place and location. Nice food and staff, great place with plenty of space and a nice interior and really nice outside terrace on the water front. Highly recommended!
Leander Moons
Kanteen25 is a place that meets all of my requirements for modern restaurants: they are working with food waste, they are sustainable, they train refugees to become chefs to help them find their dream job and they have vegan/vegetarian/meat options for a decent price! Next to that, the view is just stunning: a private terrace looking out over Het IJ. It's a hidden gem on the Marineterrein!
Lisa Stamm
Nice people. Good good for good prices.
Robbert van Elk
Loved my lunch experience here. A place with casual food that still offers a twist of out-of-the-regular. A place that's thinking-forward in all the means!

Özlem Aktaş
Healthy and tasty food, good ambiance. Came here by boat. One of the few places where you can easily moor your boat, although you need to climb a little, because the quay is quite high. We had a healthy and tasty lunch with biological wine (recommend the third one on the list, as of next week also by the glass!). Food is pure, delicious and prepared with great attention. Nice hosts! Will come back!
Frederique Nienhuys

Nicole Pikkemaat

Mirjam Bloem
Food,service & ambiance douze points ! The menu could have a few more selections than burgers,pizzas for my taste ( there were mussels, fish and veggie specials) but what we had was very well prepared. Excellent, friendly service and for wine lovers an uncommon white Cote du Rhone that was a great surprise.
Jim Gordon
Wonderful evening at Kanteen 25. Yesterday evening we had dinner with 4 at Kanteen 25. The weather was fabulous, so we were outside overlooking the water. Great food, friendly hosts, definitely recommend this place for a relaxed dinner and drinks. Many thanks Kanteen 25!

The food was delicious, the service was great, jazzy atmosphere with the live band.. excellent place for your Sunday!
