The story
Corners Store in Amsterdam delivers East-Asian flavors through a vegetable-focused lens in the heart of Noord. The kitchen builds its menu around organically and biodynamically grown products, a commitment that earned the venue three radishes in the We're Smart Green Guide. Guests navigate between a seven to ten course vegetarian tasting path and à la carte selections, with meat and fish additions available where desired.
Standout dishes reveal the balance of fresh ingredients and bold sauces. Crispy tofu sits alongside lotus root pickle, while cold plates feature tomato dressed with sichuan peppercorn and lemon marigold. Warm entries like aubergine with black bean sauce and thai basil showcase how East-Asian flavors guide the preparation of humble vegetables. Poached corn chicken finishes with ginger scallion sauce before the meal turns to chrysanth ice cream with peach and crumble.
The dining room maintains a vibrant, dynamic atmosphere suited for evening service. Bookings secure tables for dinner, while the bar welcomes walk-ins for pre-dinner drinks. The space supports events and private parties, backed by a team dedicated to hospitable service and clear communication behind the pass.
Beverages run deep with sake selections from producers like Kinoshita Shuzō and Mukai Shuzō. Cocktails such as the umeshu highball and ayuuk mule complement the regional spirit of the food. An extended wine list highlights natural and biodynamic bottles across sparkling, orange, and red categories. Digestifs include agave spirits and calvados for those extending the evening.
