Bar Bachrach

Bar Bachrach brings the warmth of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean kitchens to Amsterdam's Javaplein, next door to its celebrated sibling Wilde Zwijnen. Chef Yaniv Lenga draws on years of cooking across three continents, layering flavours from Lebanon, Syria and Turkey with the seasonal best of Dutch producers.

The compact space pairs a sleek tiled bar with reclaimed wood accents, creating a relaxed setting for long evenings of shared plates.

Dishes arrive as individual courses rather than a fixed sequence, encouraging guests to graze and share at their own pace. The wine list, curated over fifteen years alongside Wilde Zwijnen, leans into organic, biodynamic and natural bottles that complement the bold, spice-driven cooking. Bread is baked in house daily, from shishborek to Jerusalem bagel, and the menu shifts with the seasons as Yaniv works Amsterdam's markets for the finest local produce.
