High end restaurant SECRET GARDEN | Nikkei Cuisine in Amsterdam
8-7-2022
Opening – In August high end restaurant SECRET GARDEN will open at the Reguliersdwarsstraat in Amsterdam. Inspired by multidisciplinary catering establishments in London, Madrid, Dubai and Paris, SECRET GARDEN is a place where you can not only dine, but also have a great time. SECRET GARDEN is a new initiative by brothers and hospitality entrepreneurs Roy and Mike Poppes. With more than 10 years of experience in the international catering industry, they missed a real mature, internationally oriented restaurant with experience in Amsterdam. An establishment where you don’t have to go into town after dinner, because you can continue the evening with cocktails and live entertainment. SECRET GARDEN offers precisely that added value and therefore becomes a unique addition to both the restaurant and nightlife offerings in Amsterdam.
