De Jonge Dikkert

Remarkable restaurant with a great deal of on-spot culinary experimentation. Refreshing contrasts and unexpected flavor outcomes made for a fantastic experience even if dishes are spelled out in the menu. Atmosphere and service were delightful with service starting at the terrace, then moving inside for the mains. A LOT of attention to detail. Hands-down recommended.

Had dinner in early April 2024 - nothing so casual about this restaurant but was cosy despite it’s hush atmosphere. We ordered the typical starters, main & dessert - but what we had was more than we ordered. Each dish/ course was explained by the head server, presentation was beautiful and the texture & tastes were an explosion of colours. The beef was cooked perfectly, the seafood were done delicately and the desserts were too artistic to eat! Best sourdough bread with house-made butter, served creatively. Our servers were so professional and kept the pace of the dinner flowing. Only bug-bear, they do not have Moscato on the list, so had to settle for a Chardonnay which was not bad 😊

A restaurant that appears on the Michelin Guide. We had the 7-courses menu, with matching wine pairing, and we enjoyed every single thing. I can't eat cocoa so they were very nice and replaced the chocolate mousse of the dessert with a pineapple one, and it was delicious!

My family and I had an exceptional time at De Jonge Dikkert celebrating my dad's birthday. The staff went above and beyond to create the ultimate dining experience. The food surpassed expectations, undoubtedly it should deserve a Michelin star. Opting for the surprise menu added an extra layer of excitement, and the dishes turned out to be surprisingly amazing. The staff's knowledge and dedication to customer service were evident throughout the evening, enhancing the overall enjoyment. We are eager to return to De Jonge Dikkert and savor another delightful dining experience. Kudos to the restaurant for making my dad's birthday celebration truly memorable!

I wanted to eat at a Michelin rated restaurant and this one did not disappoint. I searched for a restaurant in a windmill and found this one and it’s also a Michelin rated restaurant which I’ve never ate out before. The Michelin rating is it as affordable but still it was pricey but well worth it. Definitely make a reservation you’ll need it. We arrived thinking it was not gonna be busy but within 30 minutes the restaurant was filled to capacity. We start with pre-cocktail drinks being Americans we thought we could order martinis but we decided just to have Jen and vodka on ice and that sufficed. The staff was very nice and willing to work with us and kept the same waiters the entire night we got to know them. The restaurant is candle very intimate. I think we all want to try everything on the menu.

The food was unbelievably delicious with so many different tastes in one! I ordered chief’s choice of 7 dishes and everything was tasty, made from fresh fish, meat and vegetables. The waiter was polite and nice: he announced every dish, was curios about our impressions. Though in total this dinner lasted around 2.5 hours, it was all in one experience which worth its money. P.s. 7 dishes are a lot of food, because there were 3 appetisers + 1 pre dessert additionally to our order.

Been wondering this place for a while. I found the atmosphere great given you eat in a historical windmill. Service were also pretty good. But place were crowded inside a bit and time between courses were too much. We were there around 7pm and left around 11:30pm. Felt like table was empty large amount of time. We tried 6 course chef menu, 3 of them was mainly seafood based either fish or octopus. I am not a fan of seafood based courses but this doesn’t mean those are bad or anything. Overall we left happy but compared to our other michelin rest. experiences in other countries, there are improvement areas on service and food. Thanks for having us.

Very friendly and service oriented staff and they are open for talking about food and drinks. Especially Jonne and Paul are excellent. Just awesome presentation of dishes with complex and delicious tastes. Every thing well prepared with dedication and live for food. Eating here is a treat. Beautiful wines and some craft beers.

While a bit out of Amsterdam, that only adds to the ambiance of this unique place! If you are ok spending a bit of money on a dining experience, this is the place to do it. Someone used "masterchef" experience on a previous review - that's a prefect description. It's not just good food, it's uniquely presented. It's NOT the kind of stuff you can do at your house, even if you are an accomplished home chef! Defo recommend!

Amazing food and a wonderful ambiance. Haven't had an experience like this in ages . Each mouthful was a culinary experience. Highly recommended

Hidden gem! Food was insane. Great tasting menu. 6 courses, lots of fish and not terribly expensive. There were 6 of us. $140 US each (120 euros about). We all did the 6 course meal and we had 3 bottles of wine total. Great experience on our vacation and fun to get out of the city. Would totally Come back.

Dining in an old windmill? Ja, graag! We went here as part of restaurant week. I like the idea of being in an old windmill even though you don't necessarily see it while eating. We had a 3 course meal starting with a sciency soup with frozen smoke? It looked amazing and it tasted great! Another "masterchef" experience. For the main course, I had a steak bernaise, which was the last impressive dish. The dessert consisted of strawberries with ice cream and crunchy pieces and was soooooooooooo tasty! The staff was very friendly, helpful, and keeping up with the table as you would expect in this price range. I would definitely eat here again :)

What a culinary experience just outside of Amsterdam! We all had the 5 course tasting menu and it was beyond amazing. Every course was served with an exceptional waitstaff who described the ingredients with such passion. Every bite was incredible and the next course just a bit better than the one before. The beet course and lamb main were memorable to say the least. Well worth the trip outside of town and I hope to come back one day.

Think great food, great presentation, superb-friendly-knowledgable service and all that in an old Dutch windmill! It's French with some surprising twists. Located close to Amsterdam. A real treat!
