The rotisserie is the restaurant
Since 2018, The Chicken Bar has been the place in the centre of Amsterdam for chicken from the rotisserie in a relaxed atmosphere. The gigantic spit is the eye catcher of the room: our guests pick a whole chicken (42 oz.) or a half (21 oz.), served straight off it. Only chickens that are brined, marinated and slowly cooked, so the meat is tender, juicy and pure in taste.

Looking for real rotisserie chicken in Amsterdam? The Chicken Bar has built its whole restaurant around one giant rotisserie, in a side street between Spui and Kalverstraat.
Chicken with the famous Vleminckx fries
The fries next to your chicken are not just any fries. They are hand-cut Vleminckx fries, from the family counter that Amsterdam has queued at for decades.
Whole or half chicken? A sharing guide
One question decides your evening at The Chicken Bar: a half chicken for yourself, or a whole one for the middle of the table? Here is the honest arithmetic.

How big is a whole chicken, and a half?
A whole chicken is 1200 grams (42 oz), a half is 600 grams (21 oz). Both come straight off the rotisserie. A half chicken with fries and a side is a solid dinner for one; a whole chicken is made for sharing.
