At The Quiet Rex on Papaverweg, remote workers and bookworms share the space with some very special colleagues. In this adults-only reading and workspace, everything revolves around peace and relaxation. While visitors focus on a book or their laptop, tame rabbits like Mother, Theresa, and Casanova hop freely and cheerfully around the room.
Fortunately, you don’t have to travel far to visit this serene hideaway. You’ll find this hidden oasis just a ten-minute bike ride from Amsterdam Central Station.
More than just books and rabbits
Inside, the floor-to-ceiling bookcases, filled with a carefully curated collection of English-language books, invite you to wander for hours. It’s a place where the hustle and bustle of everyday life instantly fades away. Those who prefer to keep their hands busy will find subtle creative inspirations everywhere: from soft balls of yarn to mandala coloring books and postcards waiting for a stroke of watercolor.
That same sense of simplicity extends throughout the rest of the space. No busy menus or complicated dishes, just a completely vegan and gluten-free menu centered on pure tranquility. As the rabbits pass by silently, you can enjoy cold drinks like creamy banana milk, chocolate milk, or refreshing coconut water, paired with plant-based snacks.
Your visit to The Quiet Rex
Because the animals’ well-being is paramount, clear rules are in place. The rabbits decide for themselves whether to approach you; picking them up is strictly prohibited. In addition, the lounge enforces a strict maximum number of visitors per hour, ensuring it remains a low-stimulus oasis for both people and animals.
A one-hour reservation in this rabbit lounge costs €16.50 on weekdays. If you’d like to plan a peaceful date or a relaxing reading session on the weekend, you’ll pay €18.50 for one hour of access. Advance online reservations are required.
