Your own space, your own menu by chef Tanercan and a view straight across the water. For company dinners, birthdays, anniversaries and presentations that end at the table.
Shared dining, a classic seated dinner or a walking dinner — all three put together by chef Tanercan and adaptable to what you have in mind. Prices per person, excl. VAT.
Also possible for a group dinner

From the galley
Over more than twenty years as a chef, Tanercan has built a style of his own, built around the deep flavours of the Mediterranean: tapas, mezze and dishes straight off the charcoal grill, always with fresh ingredients and a confident hand.
His cooking was noticed early on by food critic Johannes van Dam, who scored his Mediterranean kitchen 9.5 out of 10. At his own restaurant he stood out again: in 2017 Het Parool named his Flammkuchen the best in Amsterdam, chosen from hundreds of restaurants across the city.
For a group dinner he puts the menu together with you, tuning the dishes to the kind of evening you want, the number of guests and any dietary requirements at the table.
From first enquiry to the evening itself — in three steps.
Tell us how many of you are coming, the date you have in mind and what the dinner is for. Use the quote form, or simply pick up the phone.
You get a proposal covering the space, the menu, the drinks format and a clear price per person. For larger dinners we can arrange a tasting with the chef.
We set up the space, welcome your guests and take care of the service. All you have to do is sit down at the table.

Every group dinner is different. These four come on board most often.

Request a quoteDrinks on the terrace, then shared dining or a walking dinner. Works from 20 to well over 200 colleagues.
Request a quoteOne long table for the whole family, with a menu that has something for everyone — children included.
Request a quotePrivate dining or a group dinner with a space of your own starts at 20 guests. Below 20 you are very welcome to book a table in our cafe-restaurant, but without a private space or a tailored package. Seated, the ship holds up to 370 guests spread across the spaces.
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan are always possible, and the chef works around allergies, gluten-free and halal. Mention it with your enquiry; we would like the final list of dietary requirements at least five working days before the dinner, so the kitchen can shop for it and prepare those dishes separately.
There are three usual formats, and you pick whichever suits you best:
Drink tokens — you buy a set number of tokens per guest up front, which keeps the budget capped. Open bar — a drinks package per person per hour, everything included, no surprises afterwards. Pay as poured — we count what was actually served at the end of the night and you pay only for that.
You can. De Buik has its own light and sound rig with a DJ booth, so your DJ can simply plug in. If you would rather have background music during dinner, we take care of that, and playing your own playlist is fine too. Let us know when you enquire and we will set the technical side up in advance.
The ship is moored at NDSM-Pier 1 in Amsterdam-Noord. The NDSM ferry leaves from behind Amsterdam Central Station — free, about fifteen minutes across the IJ — and docks a short walk from the ship. By car you come through the IJ tunnel or the Coen tunnel to the NDSM wharf, where there is paid parking on site. Taxis and coaches can drive right up to the quay.
Yes. The space you book is exclusively yours for the evening: your own entrance to it, your own service team and no other guests at the tables. For larger groups you can combine spaces — the terrace for the reception, Het Tussendek for dinner, for example. Hiring the whole ship is possible too; just ask for it in the quote.
Just call. In five minutes we will know which space fits, which format suits your evening and roughly what it will cost.
