De Kas is a large restaurant and nursery located in a former greenhouse on the outskirts of Amsterdam.
Back in 1926 the greenhouse was built to house Amsterdams municipal nurseries.
All of the plants and flowers used for Amsterdams municipal plantings were grown on these grounds and in greenhouse.
Over the decades, the nurseries were shut down and the buildings and greenhouse became dilapidated.
Located inside the Frankendael Park, the 8 meter high greenhouse restaurant stands out as a majestic building.
The dining room is spacious and beautifully lit trees intersperse the tables.
The restaurant has a garden nearby where it grows most of its own vegetables, herbs and edible flowers.
Anything else they cant produce themselves, they buy it from local farmers and suppliers around the city.

The restaurant has no regular menu.
It changes constantly, so they dont even print it.
Once you get seated at DeKas, the only question that is asked is whether anyone has dietary restrictions.
