About
Tucked behind a row of car dealerships and a car park on the banks of the IJ in Amsterdam Noord, FC Hyena is anything but an ordinary restaurant. The venue brings together a lively restaurant, a wine bar and a cinema under one roof — a rare combination that captures the free-spirited character of Noord perfectly. Chef Emanuele Pipini oversees the kitchen, built around an open wood-fired oven that defines the restaurant's culinary signature: warm, subtly smoky flavours, carefully balanced on the plate.
Gault&Millau awarded FC Hyena a score of 12/20, and a Google rating of 4.4 from over 800 reviews reflects a loyal and enthusiastic following. The wine list leans adventurous, with a strong focus on natural wines and a broad selection available by the glass — which you're welcome to take with you into the cinema screening rooms.
The terrace overlooking the IJ is one of the most enjoyable spots in Amsterdam on a sunny day, but the atmosphere inside is equally inviting. Shared dining is at the heart of the experience, with dishes in the €29–€39 range keeping things accessible without sacrificing quality or ambition. FC Hyena is a genuine destination for anyone looking to explore Amsterdam Noord's culinary scene in a relaxed, unpretentious setting.
Book your table — then stay on for a natural wine and a film.
