The Japanese fondue restaurant PakuPaku opened in Amsterdam

4-10-2019

Earlier this year we wrote about PakuPaku, the first Japanese fondue (ShabuShabu) restaurant in Amsterdam. End of August 2019, PakuPaku opened its doors at Beukenplein 3 Amsterdam. Now, after a few weeks of test running, they’re organizing an opening drink for local residents and other people who are interested on the 6th of October. A fun way to get to know the ladies and their concept!

They will also start their ‘language events’ (events where expats and speakers of different languages can practise their Dutch language skills in an relaxed atmosphere) and once a week they have a ‘joint-table’.

An article explaining exactly what Japanese fondue is and why it is healthy! And the owners Franciska and Prema provide insight into what they have experienced in recent months since the soft opening.
