In the middle of the vibrant KNSM Island, amidst a mix of modern architecture and historical charm, is KANIS, an authentic warm dining café. It is a beautiful location by the water, where you can moor your boat at the jetty. The spacious south-facing terrace is the ideal place to enjoy a drink and a snack in the sun. At KANIS, we are not only a daytime spot where you can have lunch and enjoy a drink, but also a dining café where you can enjoy our frequently changing International dinner menu daily.

Since January 2024, we have taken over this establishment and will continue with the concept. At the end of February, we undertook significant renovations to improve the bar and kitchen for more efficient working and, importantly, to make KANIS look even more beautiful.

We are looking for a chef to help us with this new project. Do you have experience in developing menus, cost price calculations, making schedules, leading teams, and are you ready for a new challenge?
