Restaurants in Amsterdam

Spectrum holds two Michelin stars inside the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam and delivers one of the city's most technically serious plant-forward tasting menus, with a 945-bottle wine program to match. Open Wednesday to Saturday evenings only, it is a near-impossible book and worth the effort, particularly for a second or third visit once you know what Schutte's cooking demands of your attention.

Ciel Bleu holds two Michelin stars on the 23rd floor of Hotel Okura Amsterdam, with a wine list ranked first in the Netherlands and a La Liste score of 94 in 2026. Chef Arjan Speelman's kitchen is strongest on crab, lobster, and fish in a classical European format. Book six to eight weeks ahead minimum — this is one of Amsterdam's hardest tables to secure.

Flore at Hotel de l'Europe holds two Michelin stars and a We're Smart Green Guide top ranking for its 80-plant Botanic Menu — the most credentialed plant-forward tasting experience in Amsterdam. Book 8–12 weeks ahead minimum; the format is set-menu only, and seasonal variation between spring-summer and autumn-winter makes return visits worthwhile.

Two Michelin stars in an 18th-century canal building, with dinner service Tuesday through Saturday only. Vinkeles is the strongest case for classical French fine dining in Amsterdam, and the vegetable tasting menu is specifically worth your attention. Book as far in advance as possible — tables at short notice are close to unavailable, particularly on weekends.

212 is one of Amsterdam's most consistent creative fine-dining addresses, set in a canal house on the Amstel with an open kitchen that puts the cooking on full display. Chefs Richard van Oostenbrugge and Thomas Groot hold 93 La Liste points and rank in the Opinionated About Dining European top 350. At €€€€, it earns its price — especially from a counter seat.

RIJKS® holds a Michelin star and ranks among Europe's top casual fine dining addresses, with chef Joris Bijdendijk building a precise, vegetable-forward menu around Dutch ingredients and colonial trade-route influences. Inside the Rijksmuseum, it is Amsterdam's most intellectually coherent tasting-menu room. Book four to six weeks ahead for dinner; weekday lunch is more accessible.
