The 23 Best Restaurants in Amsterdam, the Netherlands | Eater

"The Netherlands’ first West African fine dining restaurant, from Liberian Dutch chef Samuka Kenneh, is a welcome change from the monotonous onslaught of French- and Italian-inspired fine dining in Amsterdam. Set menus offer reimagined West African dishes, with highlights like spicy and tart ampesi (Ghanaian spinach and yam stew) and bofrot, a type of Ghanaian donut, served here with nutmeg ice cream, a crunchy plantain wafer, and fresh citrus. The use of Atlantic fish, like mackerel and sardines, reminds diners that West Africa’s only a boat ride away. Know before you go: You can walk in at lunch, and, for now, you might get lucky enough to be served by Kenneh himself." - Katharine Khamhaengwong

Truly amazing experience. Each course was interesting, beautifully plated, and full of rich, complex flavor. The wine pairings were also wonderful which I don’t often find to be the case — typically they’re just an upsell, but these were thoughtful and really added to the experience. We felt like we were in Chef’s home, but we equally felt like we were at a fine dining restaurant. Highly recommend!

Wow! What a dining experience. Chef Kenneh is a warm host that takes you on a culinary journey throughout West Africa. The flavors are all very "homey" and approachable. The wine pairing was great, with the flavors of the wine accurately matching the dishes. There were so many highlights from the meal. I think the pair of peppered oysters from the first bites and the Donkwa crumble really stood out.

The food was good, and the chef was very attentive and friendly. He explained the dishes in detail and was passionate about them. The service could be improved—we had to request water multiple times, which was a bit annoying. The lady who was serving didn't seem to care. The service was also very slow. Otherwise, everything else was good. It's nice to try West African food.

My husband and I came here a few weeks ago and still talk about how delicious our meal was! We arrived on a whim so we had no reservations and were welcomed soooo graciously. Not only that, but I’m a vegetarian and the kitchen was able to do a last minute vegetarian accommodation that mimicked my husband’s ‘regular’ series— a feat I am especially impressed with as it’s a tasting menu. I can’t wait to go back to Amsterdam just to dine here again!

Honestly one of the best food experiences I've had in a while. What an incredible treat to be introduced to a cuisine that was unfamiliar to us by such an incredibly talented and hospitable chef. We honestly could not pick a favourite dish because they were all so excellent and original (from the homemade bread with nutmeg butter to the rich and smokey joloff rice there wasn't a weak dish in the mix). The flavours were rich and truly unique. While not a cheap menu, i would still argue it is excellent value for money. It is Michelin star worthy food and generous portions of it. Would truly recommend everyone looking for a one of a kind dining experience in Amsterdam to give this a try. We can t wait to go back soon!

When one thinks about fine dining, an experience and celebration of food, Restaurant Kenneh personally hit the mark and did not disappoint. I had the lunch experience, every plate was quality at its best and tasted of everything outstanding, every plate told its own story, flavour combinations Iv never experienced before. A truly incredible dining experience!

Absolutely the most delicious West-African food, surprising dishes combined with lovely wines. Service is great, fun and personal. The first fine dining African restaurant in the Netherlands, but hopefully not the last. Definitely recommend this superb restaurant

Great experience, good food, and very nice chef and staff. My favorite is the main course Jallof Rice and the dessert Donkwa (many unexpected spices and great flavors).
