Pompet Amsterdam

Hidden hipster haven in Noord

Kristel from Amsterdam

""Pompet" in Amsterdam Noord, with its bright furniture, jeu de boules area & outdoor bar with the the enormous croissant, gives new life to Floradorp..."

It’s a recurring trend: Rough neighborhoods, the would-never-walk-there-alone-at-night type of areas, that slowly become friendlier as more creative businesses open their doors. Some might call it gentrification. I call it another excuse to go out and explore a new part of town. And restaurant-bar Pompet in the Noorderpark in Amsterdam-Noord is definitely worth exploring.

Floradorp, a neighborhood right in the middle of Amsterdam-Noord, used to have a pretty bad rep. But with more and more additions such as Pompet, it is a destination to add to your list. When you enter Noorderpark at its halfway point, you will quickly spot the bright red chalet of Pompet. With its brightly colored furniture, awesome graphics, jeu de boules area, and – my personal favorite – the outdoor bar with an enormous croissant on the roof, it has all the ingredients to be a typical hipster haven. But this name would not do this place justice. Yes, it’s very cool and creative. But the surrounding nature, the French-oriented menu, and organic wines make it more than just a nice place to show off on your Instagram feed.

So don’t be scared to dive deep into Noord for a little hipster holiday to France. After all, this place is only two(!) metro stops away from Central Station. Need I say more? Santé.

Amsterdam Spotter Kristel

About me Hi there, I'm Kristel – a self-proclaimed foodie and copywriter always hungry to find the best spot out there. For my job, I get to combine the two things I love most in life: food and writing. Because I write for restaurants, I have to know what’s happening in the city and basically try and taste EVERYTHING. I know, it’s a tough job. But with it comes endless knowledge, which turned me into a walking restaurant encyclopedia, always telling my friends where to go. And I would love to do the same for you. Why Amsterdam Amsterdam is a truly special place. Beside...
