Serres séparées

Located on Oosterdok waterside in Amsterdam, the popular plant-based diner at Mediamatic Biotoop has just opened their cute personal greenhouses. Designed for individuals who are isolating together, these ’safe hospitality’ spaces are catered by clear-masked servers following strict protocols. Known for its ‘rocket stove,’ open kitchen, unique drinks, art and lecture series, the popular local gathering spot uses organic, sustainable and local food and drinks, as well as herbs and edible flowers cultivated in their own Aquaponics greenhouse. Imagine: the fish of the day comes from local Amsterdam waters, caught by the city’s ‘last standing’ fisherman, Piet Ruijter. Three times a week, guests can also try a delicious wood-fired pizza, cooked for one minute at 450 degrees in Mediamatic’s hand-made clay oven.
