Zoldering

Modern French · ★ Michelin

€€€

Wine lovers have embraced Zoldering. With three great sommeliers at your service, don't hesitate to ask for advice. The two impressive wine lists offer something for every budget – one lower-key selection and one featuring iconic wineries. The suggested pairings on the menu are by no means redundant either, because you're really spoilt for choice here! This lively neighbourhood bistro has the feel of an old Amsterdam café and provides a relaxed setting in which to savour exuberant revamped French dishes. The vegetarian interpretation of filet americain has already become a classic of chef Toma

Restaurant 212

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

Flore

Contemporary, Creative French · ★★ Michelin

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

Modern Cuisine, Fusion · ★ Michelin

East meets West at this restaurant, where chef Alexander Ioannou spices up familiar flavours with subtle touches of acidity and an interplay of exotic seasonings. This is creative cuisine that packs a punch, but for all the complexity of its flavours, it is very easy to enjoy – just take a look at all the happy faces around you. The chef likes to come to the table to present his signature celeriac dish. You might want to congratulate him on his fabulous creation: He imbues thin slices of celeriac with smoke on the barbecue and combines them with a celeriac cream, a perfectly runny egg and a ro

Bistro de la Mer

fish, french · ★ Michelin

€€€

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

Run by Richard van Oostenbrugge and Thomas Groot, the renowned duo behind Restaurant 212, this is a bistro of the old school. As you enter this charming, vintage-style space in the bustling Utrechtsestraat, you receive a warm welcome from the chefs, and delicious aromas waft towards you. 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

CUE

Creative, Farm to table · ★ Michelin

€€€€

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
