hallo!
welcome to ‘de culinaire werkplaats’ online.
de culinaire werkplaats is an unique eating initiative & experience located opposite amsterdam’s culture park westergasfabriek.
the initiators and food concept designer marjolein wintjes & eric meursing, are offering a fresh approach to what’s happening on your plate and you are invited to shake up your culinary lifestyle.
it’s a design studio for contemporary and inspirational food concepts & narratives at the cutting edge of food & art.
the design studio has a restaurant section where you can book a so-called eat’inspiration, a 5 course theme-based dinner experience.
the team of de culinaire werkplaats creates & makes contemporary dishes, bites, delicatessen, new foods, and invents sometimes even new ways of eating. inspirational concepts, like ‘black’ or ‘flowers’, are guiding our creative perspective on foods & eating.
de culinaire werkplaats won the title of best benelux vegetable restaurant 2011 (october 25, 2010), received the golden tray for fairtrade@work by max havelaar (october 26, 2010), is one of the top 10 amsterdam restaurants according to specialbite.com, and is for the 3rd time recommended by the dutch gault millau.
besides taste and inspirational concept at least 2 of the following criteria also provide for our choice of ingredients, products and suppliers: animal welfare, small-scale or organic farming, fair trade, season, distance, and personal health.
