Bam Boa

Sunlight dances across the sandy terrace at Bam Boa, where the riverside location creates a holiday feeling right in Amsterdam East. This all-day spot blends Mediterranean food culture with a relaxed beach atmosphere – the kind of place that makes you slow down and enjoy the moment. The menu changes with the day, from morning coffee and banana bread French toast to evening ceviche and grilled fish meant for sharing. What makes this place special is how it transforms: quiet mornings for laptop workers, lively afternoons for friends catching up, and warm evenings when the lights dim and cocktail pitchers appear. Families, creatives, and locals mix easily here, creating a neighborhood feel despite its popularity. It's the kind of place that works for almost any occasion – whether you're planning a long lunch or just stopping by for a drink while watching boats pass on the water.
