Bord‘Eau

Having recently received the 2^nd of the restaurants 2 Michelin Stars, Executive Chef Bas Van Kranen has been rewarded for his creative yet contemporary style.

The Michelin Starred Restaurant is in pride of place overlooking the Amstel River. With the best views in the house reserved for the ultimate private dining experience. Seating up to 12 guests, the private dining room plays host to a 6 to 8 course tasting menu. Privately designed for any occasion.

Ciel Bleu

With views across the city, this is certainly one of the fine dining restaurants in Amsterdam to visit. Albeit, assuming you're not afraid of heights!

The restaurant is on the 23^rd floor of Hotel Okura, giving diners a food experience that goes far beyond amazing cuisine. With both a lunchtime and dinner menu available, you can also sit at the chefs' table watching the team cook your meal.

De Silveren Spiegel

Possibly one of the nearest examples to authentic Dutch cuisine, albeit in a more refined setting, is with a tasting menu at De Silveren Spiegel.

The building dates back to the early 17^th century, with its menu also known for largely sticking to the classics. Dutch trout, Rib Eye of Beef and the freshly delivered catch of the day are just a few dishes available. Although, our personal choice would be to choose all 7 courses.

Restaurant De Kas

De Kas thrives on ingredients from its huge garden, giving diners an experience that really does deliver from plant to plate.

Restaurants having their own private garden has started to become normality in certain circles. However, the sheer volume of produce available at De Kas has to be seen to be believed. Where the onsite gardeners are of just as important as your private chef.

Senses

With a menu designed to question all 5 senses, this food experience in Amsterdam is intriguing as much as it is delicious.

It’s another of the Netherlands award-winning Michelin Starred restaurants, albeit one that doesn’t cost over the odds. The team enjoy coming up with new concepts, working with the latest gadgets and techniques. Their latest innovation being ketchup, liqueur and gin & tonic caviar.
