Vondelpark3 by Unlimited Label and OT Design is an eatery located in the heart of Amsterdam's famous park. Vondelpark is considered to be one of the Dutch city's most beloved green spaces and is a hub for tourists and city dwellers alike.
The public park is also home to a historic pavilion that now houses Vondelpark3's elegant dining space. After undergoing a long-awaited renovation, the pavilion was opened to the public earlier this year to reveal its newly added restaurant, "a meeting place where artists and media enthusiasts meet".
The eatery is located on the pavilion's lower level and spans the full width of the monumental building. Opting for a retro-modern design, the Unlimited Label and OT Design team have created a glass facade that links their restaurant's interior with its surrounding, original facade.
