Vinkeles

french · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

Jurgen van der Zalm has made the kitchen at Vinkeles his own. Having spent years here as a sous-chef, honing his classic culinary skills, he now charts his own course, without breaking with the house style: premium-quality ingredients and complex sauces are still the name of the game. For instance, he glazes ultra-fresh turbot with garlic and pairs it with textures of artichoke, mustard seeds and a potato millefeuille. What truly takes the dish to the next level is the smoked lime sauce underpinned by a robust fish fumet. Chef Van der Zalm is a master saucier, who combines a playful approach t

Step away from the bustle of central Amsterdam, walk through the lobby of De L'Europe hotel and immerse yourself in the one-of-a-kind conscious fine dining experience that is Flore. Diners are welcomed in the kitchen with an introduction to the ingredients and their provenance, before moving on to the intimate, nature-inspired dining space. Bas van Kranen's cuisine is characterised by his original and mindful approach to the natural world. Biodynamic growers have become regular suppliers, and dairy products have been banished from the kitchen. His search for solutions fuels his creativity and

Bougainville is Hotel TwentySeven's upscale restaurant. Warm fabrics, luxurious design and bronze tones come together in a setting that is intimate and romantic. The contrast with the features of this historical building is indeed something to behold, and the magnificent view of Dam Square is equally remarkable. Tim Golsteijn's cuisine is in keeping with the sophisticated surroundings. He marries flavours from East and West with a creativity all his own. For this chef, technical skill and culinary instinct go hand in hand. He effortlessly balances the intensity of ingredients such as Thai gree

As soon as you step into this quintessential canal house in the centre of Amsterdam, Richard van Oostenbrugge and Thomas Groot draw you into their world. There is something theatrical about the sight of the chefs working meticulously in their open kitchen. There is an enchanting intimacy and luxurious comfort about Restaurant 212. Nothing is left to chance here, and that goes for the attentive service, too. With their inventiveness and classical know-how (those sauces!), both chefs put their own stamp on their creations. An ingredient will undergo the most surprising of transformations, and it

The White Room by Jacob Jan Boerma

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Contemporary design and classical elegance merge harmoniously in this dining space, which dates back to 1885 and is part of the Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam. The touches of gold in the decor create a sense of luxury. One can almost imagine an Austrian princess walking in at any moment. In this exclusive setting, the talented chef takes you on what will at times be a real adventure. You will immediately notice the use of fresh citrus, exotic spices and produce grown on Dutch soil. Expect vibrant, occasionally daring flavours. The young chef incorporates all this into imaginative

George Kataras is a chef with a style all of his own. He creatively combines smoky nuances from the grill and barbecue, vibrant fermented flavours and a distinctive Nordic-style subtlety. Three to four elements are all he needs to create surprising dishes. Think succulent barbecued dry-aged sea bass topped with powdered Sichuan pepper, bergamot zest and a rich sauce based on fermented asparagus and the fish's bones. The chef demonstrates that finesse does not necessitate luxury ingredients with his fabulous combination of smoked broccoli and anchovies, capers, fermented onion and various leave

You quickly get the feeling there are no obligations and yet anything is possible. The entire à la carte menu is a real treat for any foodie. The chef is not afraid to use less fashionable ingredients such as oxtail and pike-perch. The intensity of his no-nonsense dishes makes a convincing case for why these o

Bistro de la Mer

In this cosy bistro, you could easily fancy yourself in Paris instead of Utrechtsestraat in the heart of Amsterdam. The large oyster bar, the walls adorned with the menus of legendary French brasseries, the vintage crockery on the tables and the lovely seats at the counter (our favourite spot) – here, the reverence for the past is clear. Richard van Oostenbrugge and Thomas Groot give traditional fish recipes a fresh but down-to-earth twist with a sure hand. They are once again making their mark here with no-nonsense dishes that you can savour every day of the week – including at lunchtime! Sta
