Amsterdam is a water city - and the element also plays an important role at our Holiday Inn - the niu, Fender Amsterdam. In nautical terms, a fender is a protective body that is used in the harbor when docking and acts as a buffer between the ship and the quay wall. The name says it all at the city hotel Holiday Inn - the niu, Fender Amsterdam, which is located directly on the harbor on the urban island of Cruquiuseiland. A total of 246 rooms in two different categories are available for guests on ten floors. Here you will stay in a stylish and modern ambience that will make the hearts of interior lovers beat faster: The design concept by Dutch architect Robert Mulder picks up on the industrial and artisanal charm of the district. The rooms themselves also impress with their casual urban furnishing style and modern amenities, including Smart TV, Invisible sound system and air conditioning. High-speed WiFi is available free of charge in the entire hotel. Thanks to a desk, safe and USB ports in every room, business activities are no problem likewise. Our Living Lobby with its co-working space does not only invite you to work in a relaxed atmosphere but offers a hotel bar as well. A highlight is the café-restaurant on the 7th floor with an unforgettable view of the harbor and the city. You are welcome to join our rich breakfast buffet. For sightseeing tips, cab bookings, etc. our multilingual staff at the reception is available 24/7.

De Kas

Organic · ★ Michelin

De Kas has grown steadily since it was established in 2001 and has now reached maturity. "From plant to plate" has always been the motto here, a vision of sustainability that seemed a tall order at the outset. But the team persevered and today are a standard-bearer of the MICHELIN Green Star. They grow about 300 varieties of vegetables, herbs and fruit both on site and in their larger field in the Beemster Polder. What is harvested in the morning from the imposing greenhouse will take pride of place on the plate a little later, in light, modern creations. Tip: make a beeline for the fabulous g

Creative · ★★ Michelin

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

Choux

Ninety per cent vegetables and fruit, 10% meat (mostly game) and shellfish – that is the foundation on which chef Merijn van Berlo and his team build their dazzling tasting menus. This ecologically responsible vision extends to the glass, with a stylish range of organic and natural wines. Most of all, though, it is the chefs' creativity that shines – they know how to capture the essence of each season with remarkable flair.A grilled green asparagus cream, for example, is topped with pieces of asparagus poached in lapsang souchong tea, a fine julienne of raw white asparagus, a subtly spicy almo

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

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

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
