our story

Following the successful concept of Amsterdam steak restaurant De Nachtwacht (the grand master), Peter Smorenberg and his business associate Joyce Lieven have opened the Amsterdam restaurant Grill Bar Venus & Adonis (the apprentice).

Venus & Adonis is a particular restaurant in the heart of the Jordaan. She owes her name to the painting Venus & Adonis, painted by Rembrandts apprentice Ferdinand Bol. The influence of De Nachtwacht can partially be found in this sturdy, elegantly and eclectically styled restaurant, where you are also most welcome for a drink at the bar.

Our shared dining concept is most exceptional! The dishes are served on a wooden board in the middle of the table, so they can be shared.
Even if you come alone, you will not have to be alone! You can either pick a seat at the bar or at the large ‘greet & meet’ table. Alone and yet together!

Menu

surf & turf

You can expect the most delicious dishes from our charcoal grill, amongst which the best Surf & Turf. We only serve meat from female animals, because we believe these steaks are even more tender and tastier.

Venus & Adonis serves a large selection of different Dutch beers, gins, whisky’s and vodkas. The best the Netherlands has to offer.
The wine selection is particular as well and mostly consists of ‘Vin Naturel’ by Vleck. During the ripening process of these wines, intervention was minimalised. By producing this way the wines are incomparably much more tasteful and exciting.
