Pathé Tuschinski is famous for being one of the most beautiful cinemas in the world — a 1921 Amsterdam School and Art Deco landmark on Reguliersbreestraat. Just five minutes away, Café Restaurant De Bazel offers the same architectural era and ambition: a 1926 monument designed by K.P.C. de Bazel. They make for an unusually atmospheric pairing.
Two Monuments, One Evening
Both buildings come from the same astonishing decade in Amsterdam architecture. Tuschinski was completed in 1921; De Bazel in 1926. Walking between them takes about five minutes — across Muntplein, then onto Vijzelstraat. It is the kind of evening you don't get in many cities: dinner in a heritage building, a film in another.
Pre-Film Dining
When you reserve, simply tell us your screening time. The kitchen will pace your courses so you leave comfortably — typically 1.5 hours for two courses, 2 hours for three. The full dinner menu is available, including the signature steak tartare with Amsterdam pekelvlees, Holtkamp bitterballen and seasonal main courses from €25.
Post-Film Drinks & Bites
Evening films often end after 22:00 — so the kitchen will be closed. But the bar stays open for a nightcap, and our small drinks & bites menu remains available for as long as the cocktails are flowing. Espresso martinis, cava, classic gin tonics — a perfect way to talk about the film you just saw.
"We always do dinner at De Bazel before a Tuschinski screening. Both buildings feel like part of the same evening — and the steak tartare is excellent."
