Restaurant with a terrace in Amsterdam: outdoor dining at Brasserie Lenny
A low-traffic square, a former church and afternoon sun
Amsterdam has plenty of terraces. But one away from a busy road, with a church building behind it and the sun sinking over the city in the afternoon, is harder to find.
Brasserie Lenny’s terrace overlooks a low-traffic square in Amsterdam East. The former Christus Koningkerk stands directly behind it. Het Parool described it this way:
"In few places in Amsterdam East does the sun sink westwards quite so magnificently."
— Het Parool, Dylan van Eijkeren — October 2026
