About Restaurant LIER
Restaurant LIER is located on the first floor in the Pleinfoyer, above the main entrance to the Concertgebouw. This is a place where the past and present come together in many ways: from the architecture to the interior design, from the classic hospitality to the culinary signature.

The restaurant’s name refers to the musical instrument in the Concertgebouw’s logo: the lyre. In ancient Greece, this was an accompaniment instrument for poets (the word “lyric” derives from this), and in later history, it became a symbol of music in general.

The lyre has adorned the roof of the Main Hall since the Concertgebouw opened in 1888. A 1964 “homely picture book” for donors contains the following ode: “The lyre on the roof: a musical beacon in the beloved cityscape. (...) Beneath this roof, people create beauty in sound for the enjoyment of others.’ The golden lyre has since become an indispensable part of the Concertgebouw’s roof.
