"An Amsterdam-based, family-run seafood restaurant and traiteur is opening in Soho this August at 77 Dean Street. With multiple outlets in Amsterdam and one in Utrecht, the group is known for towering seafood platters, oysters and lobsters either boiled or cooked on the plancha, and takes an unfussy, quality-first approach (it holds a Michelin Plate). Founded by the de Visscher family—who ran a fishmonger in Helmond for 27 years before opening their first restaurant in 2012—the brand emphasizes straightforward, high-quality seafood. The new two-floor site, designed by Woodfever, will have a forest-green shopfront, a low-key white-marble interior, 190 covers and a basement bar with an ice trough intended for late-night oyster parties; the chain’s Amsterdam venues run on wind power, though that may not be possible in London. Planning and refurbishment have been in progress since 2019." - James Hansen
