Brother & Sister Day: these Amsterdam hospitality businesses are run by siblings

National Brother and Sister Day is celebrated on September 30 to honor sibling relationships, providing a great opportunity to visit family-run dining spots. Numerous establishments throughout Amsterdam, such as Poké Perfect and The Seafood Bar, are successfully operated by brothers and sisters.

In celebration of National Brother and Sister Day on September 30, several hospitality businesses across Amsterdam are highlighting their unique family-run foundations. Established in 2013 by radio DJ Giel Beelen, the day encourages siblings to connect over a meal, a tradition perfectly embodied by popular local spots managed by brothers and sisters. These include well-known establishments such as Poké Perfect, The Cottage, and The Seafood Bar, among others.

From the British-inspired menu at The Cottage in Amsterdam-Oost to the Indonesian specialties at Stick-up Indo Food in Amsterdam-Noord, these venues showcase diverse culinary experiences managed by siblings. Other notable mentions include the historic Het Markerhuisje, the classic Café Scheltema, and the popular Van Dam Brasserie. Whether enjoying a Sunday Roast or a casual coffee, patrons can support these family-led enterprises that define much of the city's vibrant dining landscape. For those without siblings, the day also serves as an opportunity to celebrate close friends who feel like family.
