Actor Frank Lammers and his wife, the writer Eva Posthuma de Boer, are opening a new neighbourhood café, Volkscafé REVE, on the Linnaeuskade in Oost in October.
The café is moving into the former premises of bar Wisse at Linnaeuskade 1H in Watergraafsmeer, close to the Middenweg.
The company behind it was registered with the Chamber of Commerce on 28 August.
Brewer partnership
Noud Swinkels of the brewer Royal Swinkels recently revealed that the couple are behind the café, and the brewer has signed a partnership agreement with them.
Swinkels says he wants REVE to be a welcoming, friendly place where people can enjoy a good lager.
The café will serve Swinckels beer.
Familiar faces in the neighbourhood
Lammers is best known for playing Ferry Bouman in Undercover and in the films and series about the character that followed.
Posthuma de Boer is a writer and columnist who has published several novels and cookbooks.
At this point the Linnaeuskade runs along the Ringvaart canal, right in the middle of Watergraafsmeer.
Few details about the concept or the opening programme have been made public yet, but the word volkscafé suggests a relaxed, everyday place where locals can meet.
