SAAM restaurant is a South African inspired restaurant located on the famous Amstelzijde strip. The restaurant overlooks the Amstel River, one of the most beautiful spots surrounding Amsterdam and sits at the end of an historic restaurant strip next to Brasserie Paardeburg. SAAM restaurant opened its doors on the 9th of November 2022 on the Amstelzijde 59 in Amstelveen.

SAAM restaurant works closely with Margot Janse who, together with the kitchen team fuses both cuisines. Experience this during your visit by starting your meal off with a selection of bites and an aperitif. Next to that, we offer geregte (à la carte) as well as a five-course spyskaart (menu). And don’t forget our SAAM Roast on Sunday.

Our sommeliers on hand to advise with an exceptional wine pairing or bottle, including non-alcoholic options.

The little ones are more than welcome at SAAM Restaurant. Because we do not have a menu for children, we recommend that you inform us in advance that there will be children joining you when making your reservation. We can then ensure that they have their own special SAAM experience too.
