If you’re not ready to party hard, maybe you should stay home.
Friday, May 15th, I’ll be at Bar Brinker on Kerkstraat in Amsterdam, serving what’s closest to who I am: pure food, made with guts and love.
I’m Daan, a healthy chef, but don’t let that fool you. This is not “well-behaved” food. This is bold, bourgondisch, deeply flavorful cooking. Food that wakes up your senses. Dishes that make sense from aroma to mouthfeel, from the first bite to the last.
I’ve been cooking all my life, and professionally for the past six years as a private chef, in-house caterer, and in restaurants. My style? Somewhere between Jamie Oliver and Ottolenghi, but ultimately, entirely my own. Simple, yet grand. Seasonal. No shortcuts, no processed nonsense. Just pure ingredients.
All dishes are gluten-free, dairy-free and lactose-free and can also be made vegetarian or vegan. If you have any dietary wishes or questions, you can email michiel@brinkerbar.com.
For this evening, I’ll be serving a three-course menu with an amuse. I won’t reveal what’s on the plate, but expect contrast, tension, and balance. Fresh and rich, soft and crunchy, familiar yet surprising. Food that moves you, and leaves you feeling good afterwards.
For me, food is more than nourishment. It’s connection. A moment to land. To enjoy without noise. An evening that feels like a gift, to yourself and to each other.
This is Pure Daan.
Take a seat. Let yourself be surprised.
A three course meal with amuse for €37,50
