A former Buiten-Amstel Church on Albert Cuypmarkt street has been converted into a melting pot of cultures where everyone can come to eat, drink and endlessly look around.

In addition to its restaurant in Rotterdam, Restaurant Bazar has now also opened its doors in Amsterdam. This time the restaurant is beneath a golden angel in the middle of the Albert Cuyp market, inside a Dutch Reformed church that has fabulous tile murals and 10,001 Arabian lights to complement the cuisine: from Morocco through Turkey, Lebanon through Persia.

A typical Arab market ambience has been created: a lively, busy place, chaotic but always convivial. Different styles converge here in the interior design, personnel and food. The focal point, visible from all sides, is a large round bar situated on the ground floor, comprising refrigerated display cabinets, food cans and old wood. All drinks are served from here and guests can wait here until a table is free. Around this lie different raised floors in various colours, with balustrades of blue glazed openwork stone. These elevated floors create a division into different neighbourhoods, each with its own uniquely different character. These neighbourhoods give the huge ground floor area a certain degree of intimacy.
