Versatile Pop-Up Dining Space for Culinary Experiences.
tl;dr
- Space
- Het Smakenatelier is a 165 sqm (1,776 sq ft) basement-level culinary and event space for rent in the historic centre of Buren, Netherlands, built around a professional kitchen and a long-table dining room seating roughly 40. The character is pared back and light-filled, with an interior courtyard and lounge extending the footprint beyond the main dining floor.
- Best For
- Strongest fit for chef-led pop-up dinners and tasting residencies, followed by intimate press day and collection preview lunches, brand activation space for food and lifestyle labels, cocktail receptions and networking evenings for up to 40 guests, and creative workshops or team offsites. The kitchen and table configuration also make it a workable brand shoot location for food and tableware content, available to hire by the day.
- Standout Features
- Fully equipped commercial kitchen with gas, water and electricity included at normal usage, plus complete tableware and glassware on site so the space is move-in ready for service on day one. Also included: a single long-table dining room that puts the chef in direct sightline of guests, a private interior courtyard for arrivals and receptions, a separate lounge for seated breakouts, counters, fitting rooms, garment rails and stock room from the retail fit-out, and an adjacent city loft bookable as overnight accommodation or additional prep space.
- Location
- Set on a quiet street in central Buren, Gelderland, within a 2 minute walk of Hart van Huren, Salon19 and Anjo gallery, and 2 to 4 minutes on foot from Museum Buren en Oranje, Bakkerij van Walderveen and six restaurants inside 600 metres. On-site parking and an elevator make load-in straightforward for crew, while guests arrive through a walkable heritage town centre rather than a commercial strip.
- Availability
- Day rate is 1,140 EUR with a 3 day minimum rental and a 28 day maximum, covering weekend pop-ups, short dinner series or month-long residencies with opening hours set by the brand. Book 6 to 8 weeks ahead for standard dates and 10 to 12 weeks for Amsterdam Fashion Week and the September to December peak, when spaces of this type in the Gelderland corridor typically book first; extended formats are quoted on brief-based pricing.
- How to Book
- Send your dates, guest count and format through the enquiry form and Fashion Week Venues will confirm availability within 24 hours, with no charge until the booking is confirmed. Permit paperwork, front of house and kitchen staffing, and fit-out coordination are handled by our team on the brand's behalf. Request availability to hold your dates.
