Whether you are a local resident or a traveler seeking a taste of Dutch-Jewish history, the shop offers a menu rooted in over sixty years of craft.

About the area

Located at Professor J.H. Bavincklaan 5 in Amstelveen, Sal Meijer is situated in an area that serves as the heart of contemporary Jewish life in the Netherlands. Amstelveen, which borders the Buitenveldert district of Amsterdam, is home to a significant portion of the Dutch Jewish population. This location makes the shop easily accessible for those residing in the suburbs as well as those coming from central Amsterdam.

The neighborhood is characterized by its proximity to various Jewish schools, synagogues, and communal organizations. Being positioned just outside the main city center allows for a more relaxed pace, while remaining well-connected by public transportation, including the tram and metro lines that link Amstelveen directly to Amsterdam’s major hubs.
