Publiek

Passionate and relevant

Publiek is an unusual — and very attractive — combination of past and present, of restaurant and cultural meeting place. The cooking that’s created here, in the borderland between different art forms, feels playful, serious, challenging, and relevant. If it comes out wild and creative on the plate, it’s all the more clear and structured in theory. This is a restaurant that takes responsibility, from farm to table. From ingredients and food waste to educating staff and enlightening diners — Publiek wants to be involved in the change that the entire restaurant industry is facing.
