An evening at Natlab goes beyond the screen
Meet Dies
Meet our new head chef, Dies. Curious, energetic and always searching for flavour. From a perfectly made lasagna to a good risotto and everything in between, he’s driven to keep exploring.
For Dies, cooking is all about variety and experience. No two days in the kitchen are the same, and that’s exactly what keeps it interesting. Discovering new flavours, refining dishes and doing that together with a close-knit team is what gives him energy.
That approach doesn’t come out of nowhere. Before joining Natlab, he worked in the kitchen at the Effenaar, where music, audience and atmosphere come together. He brings that same dynamic to Natlab. For him, food never stands on its own. It’s part of a night out, part of the atmosphere, part of people coming together.
Outside the kitchen, that curiosity continues. He travels to taste, to discover and to bring back what he finds along the way. Italy is his favourite when it comes to food, while Greece remains his favourite destination.
At Natlab, this translates into a new menu that follows the season and the rhythm of the day. Expect fresh flavours, unexpected combinations and plenty of vegetarian options. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or settling in for a long evening at the table, the menu moves with the way you want to spend your night.
A new rhythm at the table
At Natlab, Dies is working with a new menu, offering more variety and more vegetarian options than before. We cook with fresh, seasonal ingredients, with a focus on balance and flavour.
The new concept is built around choice: one, two or three courses. Flexible and accessible, shaped around your evening.
A quick dinner before a film. A longer evening at the table, followed by whatever is playing. Or no film at all, just staying for the food.
A place to come for dinner
With this step, we want Natlab to be a place you come to even without a ticket. To meet, to have lunch, to have dinner. Because it feels right. Because it fits. Because you know you want to be here.
That’s why we’ve also renewed our lunch menu and introduced a kids menu. Natlab isn’t just a place to watch something, but a place to spend time.
Come by
From April 9, the new concept is fully in place. With his energy, curiosity and attention to detail, Dies is ready to take you along. Whether you’re here for a film, a performance or just for the food, you’re welcome.
