The Terrace
The courtyard
Spritzes, bites and unhurried talk
Tucked behind the canal wall, Oriole’s garden terrace is an open-air courtyard for long lunches, borreltijd spritzes and candlelit evenings — a Mediterranean pause in the middle of Amsterdam, from the first warm days of spring to the last of autumn.
Weather willing
The terrace opens whenever the sun does. On bright days, every table moves outside.
Covered corners
A retractable awning and heaters keep the terrace comfortable from April through October.
Borreltijd pours
A short list of crisp whites, pét-nats and house spritzes, made for drinking outdoors from 17:00.

On the garden terrace
The season, served outside
One courtyard garden, three moods — our outdoor patio drifts from sunlit lunches through borreltijd to candlelit al fresco evenings.
12:00 · Long lunches
Long lunches outdoors
Unhurried midday plates under the canopy — grilled vegetables, chilled seafood and bread still warm from the oven.
17:00 · Borreltijd
Borreltijd on the patio
Amsterdam’s favourite hour, Mediterranean style — house spritzes, chilled wine and small plates as the afternoon softens.
Late
Evening under the leaves
Dinner outdoors until late. Candles on the tables, the fountain murmuring, nowhere else to be.
