Restaurants nearby
- 't Nonnetje★★ Michelin Host Robert-Jan Nijland and chef Michel van der Kroft prove that one plus one can make three. What was once a fisherman's cottage is now one of the country's top restaurants. The decor is cosy and charming, featuring stylish clean lines, lots of glass and a dominant black aesthetic. Having been given free rein to do his own thing, the chef has come up with a unique culinary style. He can execute the classic Escoffier recipes just as well as anyone. His foie gras and smoked eel terrine served with aged balsamic vinegar and beetroot in various textures is sublime. His ravioli with Queijo da Serr16.3km
- Basiliek★ Michelin Born and bred in Harderwijk, Yornie van Dijk has taken over the restaurant of his former boss Rik Jansma and made it his own. The interior combines specially commissioned drawings, exposed brick walls and high-end materials. This is a welcoming place with a youthful energy and an open kitchen that immediately draws the eye. Chef Van Dijk makes the nuances of contemporary cuisine his own, with a sure touch when it comes to balancing acidity and seasonings. It is clear that he is a proponent of Nordic Cuisine, a puristic cooking style onto which he puts his own spin. Vegetables and herbs sourced16.3km
- Restaurant 212★★ 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 it36.4km
- Flore★★ 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 36.7km
- Bistrôt ChapeauBib Bistrôt Chapeau exudes French elegance: white tablecloths, warm tones, typical chansons playing in the background and a terrace where you can relax. Chef Nicky Quarz cooks here with classic precision and a penchant for dishes that are too often forgotten. No frills and full of flavour. Think homemade wild boar pâté with lively garnishes that provide a nice counterbalance, or juicy guinea fowl stuffed with tartufata and served with soft pommes fondantes and a creamy mushroom sauce, among other things. This cuisine remains true to its roots. And more good news: the full menu is also available fo21.8km
- Ciel Bleu★★ Michelin Ciel Bleu lives up to its name. Here, you dine on the top floor of the luxurious Okura Hotel with a spectacular view of the blue sky and the Amsterdam skyline as a backdrop. The modern elegance of the restaurant and the superlative presentation of the dishes are equally pleasing to the eye. Arjan Speelman's cuisine is technically accomplished and creative. The seasoned chef deftly plays with French cooking techniques, Asian seasonings and spices. By focusing on the depth of his sauces, he ensures that each dish packs a punch. His marinated bluefin tuna tartare with yuzu, paired with a horserad37.3km
- Vinkeles★★ 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 t37.4km
- De Kas★ 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 g34.8km
- De Nederlanden★ Michelin De Nederlanden bears its name well. The decor, the charming service and the culinary style lend this former country hotel a quintessentially Dutch atmosphere. Combining historical charm with contemporary sleekness, this building has plenty of character. It feels like time is standing still as you enjoy an aperitif on a bench with views over the Vecht River and the drawbridge. Pure bliss! It is clear from the menu that chef Wilco Berends loves his terroir: When it comes to produce such as lamb, eel and cheese, rest assured that he will serve you the very best the region has to offer. Be sure to35.1km
- Choux★ Michelin 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 almo35.7km
