Menu

meat, fish & vega(n)

Venus & Adonis is a native Amsterdam restaurant serving delicious plant-based dishes, grilled steaks and local caught fish, alongside an extensive natural wine selection, Dutch beers and expertly crafted cocktails.

Locally known for our delicious ribs and oh so succulent steak. Venus & Adonis serves the perfect mix between vega(n), fish and meat. Our high quality meat only comes from female animals from honest European farmers. We believe these steaks are not only more tender and tastier, but also better for people and planet. Including seasonal plant-based food and seafood sourced from the best farms and fishermen, with our menu we focus on a better future. 

Restaurant Venus & Adonis offers pure, tasty food, a selection of Dutch beers, gins, whisky’s, vodkas and natural wines. With ‘Vin Naturel’, we have a special selection of Vleck wines, where no intervention took place in the process of wine making. These natural wines are pure and rich in flavour, a great choice when you like to wine and dine.

our story

Native Amsterdam owner Joyce Lieven has spent her career celebrating the bounty of the traditional grill at some of the city’s most iconic restaurants including ‘De Nachtwacht’ and ‘Castell’ before opening ‘Venus & Adonis’ in 2015.

The authentic restaurant was named after a beautiful painting called ‘Venus & Adonis’ by a pupil painter of the great Rembrandt van Rijn, just like the owner Joyce Lieven was a pupil at the successful steak restaurant ‘De Nachtwacht’, named after one of the grand master pieces of van Rijn’s paintings.

Today, Restaurant Venus & Adonis blends the spirit of the city’s current dining scene with grilled classics. Can’t choose? Just try them all with our shared dining concept.
