de-pijp · Ferdinand Bolstraat 333, 1072 LH Amsterdam

Mr Porter Rooftop ★ 4.4 · Amsterdam
centrum · Spuistraat 175, 1012 VN Amsterdam
Mr Porter occupies the sixth-floor rooftop of the W Amsterdam on Spuistraat, running a modern steakhouse by day that slides into a cocktail and DJ room after sunset with city-centre views across the rooftops.
Tip: Lift from the W lobby on Spuistraat; the south terrace catches the late-afternoon sun, the indoor bar takes over once the kitchen winds down. Reservations smart.
