How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding Michelin stars, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
212
2 Michelin stars
On the Amstel River opposite the National Opera, Restaurant 212 operates at the upper tier of Amsterdam's creative fine dining. Richard van Oostenbrugge and Thomas Groot work from an open kitchen in a restored canal house, producing technically precise dishes that earn consistent recognition from La Liste (93 points, 2026) and Opinionated About Dining's European rankings. The Dutch cheese board and wine selection draw particular notice from critics.
Bistro de la Mer
1 Michelin star
On Utrechtsestraat in central Amsterdam, Bistro de la Mer holds a Michelin star for classic fish cuisine with a deliberate Parisian brasserie sensibility. The large oyster bar, vintage crockery, and à la carte format set it apart from the tasting-menu tier above it. Chefs Richard van Oostenbrugge and Thomas Groot work traditional seafood recipes with grounded, technically sharp results, available at both lunch and dinner seven days a week.
Bolenius
1 Michelin star
Bolenius holds a Michelin star and a We're Smart Top Chef designation, operating from a calm setting beside Rembrandtpark with its own kitchen garden on-site. Chef Luc Kusters runs two set menus, Pure Plant and Dutch Menu, built around micro-seasonal produce, Dutch Kamper lamb, and North Sea fish. It sits in Amsterdam's highest price tier alongside Ciel Bleu and Vinkeles, but occupies a distinct niche: plant-forward, ecologically grounded, and quietly serious.
Choux
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Choux Amsterdam pioneers vegetable-forward fine dining in a converted warehouse near Central Station, where Chef Merijn van Berlo's seasonal tasting menus celebrate Dutch gastronomy alongside one of the city's most comprehensive natural wine programs.
Ciel Bleu
2 Michelin stars · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Ciel Bleu holds two Michelin stars and a La Liste score of 94 points (2026), operating from the 23rd floor of Hotel Okura Amsterdam South. Chef Arjan Speelman leads a creative menu weighted toward crab, lobster, fish, and meat, with vegetables treated with precision if not yet full parity. Star Wine List ranked it #1 in 2025. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 6:30 pm.
CUE
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
On Utrechtsestraat, CUE sits at the intersection of open-fire cooking and Nordic-inflected restraint, earning a Michelin Plate and the Star Wine List #1 ranking for 2025. Chef George Kataras builds three- and four-element dishes from dry-aged fish, fermented vegetables, and barbecue smoke, pairing them through a wine programme that leans heavily on natural producers. A listening bar in the cellar extends the evening well past dessert.
Daalder
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred address in Amsterdam's Oud-West that trades white-tablecloth convention for neon lights, a centerstage open kitchen, and a creative menu rooted in Indonesian and Asian influences. Chef Dennis Huwaë's vegetable-forward cooking, ranked 191st in Opinionated About Dining's Classical in Europe list for 2025, makes a compelling case for why Amsterdam's most interesting dining is happening outside the canal-belt centre.
De Kas
1 Michelin star
Operating from a restored 1926 glass greenhouse in Amsterdam's Frankendael park, De Kas holds a Michelin Green Star and a 2024 Michelin Star, cooking a daily-changing Mediterranean menu built almost entirely from its own nursery in the Beemster Polder and on-site gardens. Ranked #250 in Opinionated About Dining's Casual Europe list for 2024, it represents Amsterdam's most coherent argument for field-to-fork dining at the €€€ tier.
Flore
2 Michelin stars · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Housed in Hotel de L'Europe on the Amstel, Flore holds two Michelin stars and a top ranking in the We're Smart Green Guide for its 'Botanic Menu' built from 80 different plants. Chef Bas van Kranen works with biodynamic growers and seasonal Dutch produce, shifting between North Sea ingredients in summer and game in autumn. The wine list runs to 1,400 selections across 9,000 bottles in inventory.
Lars Amsterdam
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred modern restaurant on Amsterdam's Danzigerkade waterfront, Lars Amsterdam earns its place in the city's upper dining tier through a cooking style that fuses French classical technique with Asian flavour architecture. Chef Lars Scharp's vegetable-focused Green Menu draws produce from a 400-square-metre rooftop urban farm, placing the kitchen at the intersection of local sourcing and global method.
MOS
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
MOS occupies a pointed position at the tip of Amsterdam's IJdok peninsula, where IJ waterfront views frame a creative French menu built around vegetable-led thinking and technically precise cooking. Chef Egon van Hoof works a price tier below Amsterdam's highest-end tasting tables, making this one of the more accessible entries into serious ingredient-driven French technique in the city. The wine list runs to 705 selections with particular depth in Burgundy, France, Italy, and Germany.
Perceel
1 Michelin star
Set in a converted old town hall on the dyke of Capelle aan den IJssel, Perceel earns its place on the Opinionated About Dining Europe rankings through cooking that tracks seasonal and natural rhythms closely. Chef Jos Grootscholten pairs garden herbs with sharply conceived flavour contrasts, and a kombucha-based drinks program extends that philosophy to the glass.
Restaurant Bougainville
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Positioned at the summit of Amsterdam's hotel-dining tier, Restaurant Bougainville occupies the upper floors of Hotel TwentySeven on Dam Square, where Tim Golsteijn's East-meets-West modern cuisine earned Opinionated About Dining's Highly Recommended recognition in 2023. The kitchen balances French technique with Asian aromatics across an evening-only format that draws serious diners to one of the city's most architecturally loaded addresses.
Restaurant de Juwelier
1 Michelin star
On Utrechtsestraat, the duo behind Restaurant 212 run a bistro that takes the old-school French format seriously, à la carte, rich stocks, offal without apology. Opinionated About Dining named it among Europe's top new restaurants in 2023. The cooking leans on lesser-used cuts and classical technique, with results that make a strong case for both.
Restaurant Showw
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Restaurant Showw earned its Michelin star in 2024 under chef Dorus Floris and sommelier Lendl Mijnhijmer, whose partnership began at Amsterdam's Bougainville. The open-plan room on Gelrestraat runs a tightly edited tasting menu format, with a vegetable-forward option alongside the main programme. Service windows are narrow, four sessions across Monday, Thursday through Sunday, which keeps the kitchen focused and tables hard to come by.
RIJKS®
1 Michelin star
Inside the Rijksmuseum, RIJKS® holds a Michelin star and an Opinionated About Dining ranking, built on Joris Bijdendijk's programme of Dutch-product cooking shaped by the country's colonial and maritime history. The kitchen is serious about vegetables, the wine list earned a Star Wine List White Star, and the room runs lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday at one of Amsterdam's more considered creative addresses.
Ron Gastrobar
1 Michelin star
Ron Gastrobar occupies a particular position in Amsterdam's dining scene: the point where two Michelin stars were deliberately set aside in favour of accessibility.
Sinne
1 Michelin star
Sinne in Amsterdam’s De Pijp distills East-meets-West finesse into a Michelin-starred experience, featuring chef-presented smoked celeriac and a smart, sommelier-led wine program in an intimate, open-kitchen setting.
Spectrum
2 Michelin stars · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Spectrum holds two Michelin stars and a La Liste score of 92 points, operating from the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam on Herengracht four evenings a week. Chef Sidney Schutte's kitchen places vegetables at the structural centre of its tasting menus, drawing on training lineages that run through De Librije and the late Roger Souvereyns's Scholteshof. The wine list, directed by Cas Kratz, spans 945 selections with particular depth in Burgundy and Bordeaux.
The White Room by Jacob Jan Boerma
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Inside the Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky on Dam Square, The White Room operates at the summit of Amsterdam's fine-dining tier, serving modern French cuisine in a room that dates to 1885. Chef Tristan de Boer leads a kitchen that draws on Dutch produce, citrus-forward technique, and classical French structure, backed by a wine list of 6,230 bottles with particular depth in Burgundy.
Vinkeles
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Housed in an 18th-century former bakery on the Keizersgracht, Vinkeles holds two Michelin stars and an 86.5-point La Liste ranking, placing it firmly within Amsterdam's small tier of destination fine dining. Chef Jurgen van der Zalm works a restrained French-creative framework, with a plant-forward menu that has drawn particular attention from the We're Smart Green Guide alongside recognition from Opinionated About Dining's Classical Europe list.
Wils
1 Michelin star
Wils occupies the third floor of architect Jan Wils's Stadionplein building, directly opposite the Olympic Stadium it helped inspire. With a Michelin star, a chef roster that spans Joris Bijdendijk and Thomas Val, and a menu built around fire, plant-forward thinking, and the flavours of Amsterdam's broader cultural mix, it sits at the more accessible end of the city's serious dining tier without sacrificing ambition.
Yamazato
1 Michelin star
Yamazato at the Okura Hotel holds a singular place in European fine dining: it became the first traditional kaiseki restaurant outside Japan to receive a Michelin star.
Zoldering
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
A Michelin-starred bistro on Utrechtsestraat, Zoldering pairs revamped French cooking with one of Amsterdam's most serious wine programs. Open since 2019, the room occupies a converted canal-era building with high ceilings and the unhurried tempo of an old Amsterdam café. Three sommeliers, two wine lists, and a vegetable-forward menu built around produce from the Dutch seasons make it a consistent reference point for the city's mid-to-upper dining tier.
