On the most prestigious corner of Amsterdam's Herengracht, hidden in a beautifully restored 17th-century canal house, you'll find Bar Vasari. This Italian espresso bar and restaurant, decorated in the style of a mid-century Milanese espresso bar, is an elegant fusion of the past and present.
Part of the Vrije Academie, a learning institute committed to providing accessible lectures and workshops on topics such as art history, philosophy, and architecture, Bar Vasari is a true nexus of art, culture and cuisine. With elegant features like sweeping marble staircases, brushed brass, and textured woods, the interior is as inviting as the menu, which offers a changing assortment of seasonal Italian-inspired foods.
With separate areas for dining and enjoying a coffee, you can also opt to sit outside in its beautifully manicured garden during the summer months or a temperate winter morning. Whether you're savouring a casual coffee in the stylish espresso bar or an elaborate private dinner in its original 17th-century kitchen, this venue offers something truly unique to visitors.
