Restaurant Jansz Amsterdam is the modern-Dutch restaurant inside Pulitzer Amsterdam, with its restaurant address at Reestraat 8 in De 9 Straatjes. It serves lunch and dinner daily, offers canal-side terrace seating in warmer weather, and hosts Family Sundays on the last Sunday of each month. The practical details and prices below were last verified on 14 August 2026.
The most important timing detail is the kitchen cutoff. The official Jansz. website lists the venue as open from 12:00 to 00:00, with the kitchen closing at 22:00. Pulitzer Amsterdam displays the restaurant’s dining hours as 12:00 to 22:00, so plan to order before 22:00 rather than treating midnight as the dinner deadline.

Is Jansz. worth booking?
Based on its current menu and service format, Jansz. is a strong choice for diners who want a polished modern-Dutch lunch or dinner in Amsterdam’s canal belt without committing to a long tasting menu. The €35 lunch set provides the clearest value, while dinner offers more choice across seafood, meat and meat-free dishes.
- Best suited to: couples, business lunches, small celebrations, Pulitzer Amsterdam guests, canal-side dining plans and families visiting on the monthly Family Sunday.
- Consider another option when: your priority is a low-cost meal, you need dinner after 22:00, you are bringing a pet or you want a menu devoted entirely to traditional Dutch classics.
- Good to know: the menu changes seasonally, so specific dishes should be treated as examples rather than permanent fixtures.
Jansz. menu and current prices
Jansz. describes its food as modern-Dutch: Dutch produce and familiar local ingredients are combined with contemporary techniques and international accents. Current menus name partners including Lindenhoff, Kaasfort Amsterdam and Kesbeke. The result is not a menu of only stamppot, herring and other traditional standards; it is a modern restaurant menu informed by Dutch products and Amsterdam suppliers.
| Menu category | Current price | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Two-course lunch set | €35 | Choice of starter and main; selected dishes may carry an €8 supplement |
| Lunch starters and sandwiches | €16–€23 | Seasonal salad, smoked salmon toast, steak sandwich, Dutch shrimp roll or lobster bisque |
| Lunch mains | €28–€38 | Jansz. burger, ricotta ravioli, sea bass or steak frites |
| Dinner starters | €16–€22 | Seasonal vegetable, fish, seafood and meat dishes |
| Dinner mains | €28–€55 | Current examples include cauliflower “risotto,” ricotta ravioli, burger, salmon, sea bass, halibut and tenderloin |
| Three-course chef’s menu | €55 | One marked dish selected from each course |
| Desserts and Dutch cheeses | €12–€20 | Seasonal desserts, cheesecake and a Dutch cheese selection |
| Children’s mains | €15 | Poffertjes, chicken, fish or spaghetti on the current 2026 menu |

Vegetarian, vegan and allergy requirements
The current menus include meat-free dishes, and Pulitzer Amsterdam states that its dining outlets offer vegetarian and vegan options. The restaurant also asks guests to tell the team about allergies or dietary requirements. For a severe allergy or a restrictive diet, contact Jansz. before booking so the kitchen can confirm what can be accommodated on the date of your visit.
Readers comparing several options can also browse vegan-friendly places in Amsterdam.
Canal-side terrace or Jansz. Garden?
Jansz. has two outdoor formats that are easy to confuse. The canal-side restaurant terrace is used for lunch and dinner during suitable warmer weather. Jansz. Garden is a separate seasonal aperitivo experience with drinks and light bites.
Jansz. Terrace
The restaurant terrace places diners beside the canal in De 9 Straatjes. Outdoor tables are weather-dependent and limited, so request terrace seating when reserving rather than assuming an ordinary booking guarantees an outside table.
Compare it with other Amsterdam restaurants with outdoor seating if eating outside is your main priority.
Jansz. Garden
Jansz. Garden serves a seasonal aperitivo menu daily from 16:00 to 20:00 when the weather allows. The official policy says reservations are not required. Because this is a drinks-and-light-bites format, it should not be treated as a substitute for a confirmed restaurant dinner reservation.
Jansz. Family Sundays
Family Sundays do not take place every week. The program runs on the last Sunday of each month from 12:00 to 16:00.
- A dedicated children’s menu
- A playroom with supervising nannies
- Crafts and creative activities with Jo’s Art Club
- Service designed around a family lunch
- Current children’s mains priced at €15
Use the official Family Sundays page to confirm the next date and reserve the correct sitting. A standard Sunday reservation does not necessarily include the monthly program.
Private dining and group meals
Jansz. offers a semi-private restaurant area and several upstairs Copper Rooms for business dinners, birthdays and other group occasions.
| Space | Published capacity | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Semi-private dining area | Up to 7 guests | Small lunches or dinners overlooking the Keizersgracht |
| Copper Study | Up to 12 guests | Focused meetings or intimate private dinners |
| Copper Chamber | Up to 20 guests | Celebrations, private dinners or senior business gatherings |
| Copper Attic | Up to 28 guests | Larger dinners with more flexible table layouts |
Contact the Jansz. private events team for current availability, menu choices, accessibility and minimum-spend requirements.
Location in Amsterdam’s Nine Streets
Jansz. is at Reestraat 8, 1016 DN Amsterdam, within Pulitzer Amsterdam and the De 9 Straatjes shopping area. Use Reestraat 8 as the restaurant destination rather than relying on a broader Prinsengracht hotel address.
The surrounding canal belt is practical to combine with boutiques, galleries and a walk through the Jordaan. Use the Amsterdam neighborhood guide to plan the rest of your route.
Getting there
- Public transport: Enter Reestraat 8 into the 9292 journey planner shortly before leaving. Routes and disruptions can change, so this is more reliable than storing a fixed tram number in an evergreen restaurant guide.
- Paying for public transport: Read the Amsterdam OVpay guide before using a contactless card or phone on trams, buses, metros or trains.
- Walking: Jansz. is in the central canal belt, but allow additional time for crowded pavements, bridges and shopping streets.
- Taxi or rideshare: Use Reestraat 8 as the destination and confirm the drop-off point with the driver.
Reservations, dress code and accessibility
- Reservations: Walk-ins are welcome when tables are available, but booking is recommended for weekends, terrace requests, Family Sundays and groups.
- Dress code: Pulitzer Amsterdam recommends smart casual dress for Jansz.
- Children: A children’s menu is available beyond the monthly Family Sunday program.
- Pets: Pets are not permitted inside Jansz.; Pulitzer Garden has a different pet policy.
- Accessibility: Pulitzer Amsterdam says its restaurants and bars have been made accessible, but some areas of the historic canal-house complex have limitations. Contact the restaurant before visiting if you need step-free access, an accessible restroom route or access to an upstairs private room.
- Restaurant phone: +31 20 523 5282

Is Jansz. suitable for children?
Yes. Jansz. has a children’s menu, and its Family Sunday program runs from 12:00 to 16:00 on the last Sunday of each month. The monthly program includes a playroom with supervising nannies and organised craft activities.
Does Jansz. have outdoor seating?
Yes. Jansz. offers a canal-side restaurant terrace during suitable warmer weather. Jansz. Garden is a separate seasonal aperitivo space serving drinks and light bites from 16:00 to 20:00 when weather allows.
Where is Jansz. and how should I get there?
The restaurant address is Reestraat 8, 1016 DN Amsterdam, in De 9 Straatjes. Use a current journey planner with that address rather than relying on a fixed tram route, because Amsterdam services and disruptions can change.

The bottom line
Jansz. is best suited to diners who want a modern-Dutch meal, a polished canal-belt setting and a choice between a relatively accessible lunch set and a broader à-la-carte dinner. It is not a budget restaurant, and the midnight venue closing time should not be mistaken for late-night kitchen service. Families should target the last Sunday of the month, while outdoor diners should distinguish between the reservable restaurant terrace and the walk-in Jansz. Garden aperitivo format.
Check the official menu immediately before visiting, particularly when a specific dish, dietary option, outdoor table or price is central to your plans.
