Taiko
Taiko is what happens when you turn over Japanese cuisine to a Dutchman with classical French training and a knack for culinary mischief. Schilo van Coevorden acts as a culinary DJ, blending Far Eastern rhythms with Middle Eastern depth and the odd French flourish. Where else would you encounter wasabi falafel – demonstrating that fusion can be playful, even mischievous – or Persian black cod with miso and saffron, as if the Silk Road veered through Amsterdam? The space is vast but Taiko deserves applause for its creative bravado.
