With the arrival of Barracuda, the Hamerkop has a new restaurant. Barracuda was founded in 2023 by Daan Meeuwig and serves seasonal local fish species for an affordable price.
The restaurant has moved into one of the former industrial spaces at the Hamerkop site on the Aambeeldstraat in Amsterdam-Noord. The Hamerkop is a 15-minute walk from Noorderpark metro station and is attracting more and more people due the mix of urban creative activities of entrepreneurs with a strong presence on social media.
After the purchase in 2015, Estadium managed the Hamerkop site on behalf of the owner and rented the space to Barracuda in 2023.
