REM Eiland

REM Eiland was an important piece of history for the Dutch, the first commercial Dutch television channel TV Noordzee was broadcast from here. The entire project was “crowd-funded” through shares and everyone wanted a piece! But, all good things come to an end. Luckily the end of TV Noordzee did not necessarily mean the end of REM Eiland as well. The island was brought to shore and placed in the Houthavens of Amsterdam. The island was then fully renovated into a restaurant, but kept some of its original elements.

When you set foot on the island you can immediately feel the history of REM Eiland. The floor with the restaurant area used to be the old helicopter platform. Some of the old broadcasting equipment kept remained and are now part of the interior of the restaurant. Come and have a look for yourself. Our staff is excited to welcome you at REM Eiland.
