Seasonal tasting menus with local fish, meat, and vegetables
"Take the stairs to the third floor of this unobtrusive warehouse (you'll need to ring the bell in the evening) to discover this rather rugged yet inviting restaurant with its splendid view over the IJ River. Benny Blisto sets great store by the origin of his ingredients, be it a carrot or ray wing. Locally sourced, seasonal produce is the inspiration behind his creativity. For instance, with slightly tart rhubarb and an exquisite beetroot sauce, he elevates a venison fillet to new heights. An exciting dining experience is guaranteed!" - Michelin Inspector
"Seasonality, creativity, and simplicity are at the core of Bak, one of the best places to experience modern Dutch cuisine while enjoying fantastic views of the river IJ. Chef Benny Blisto carefully puts together vegetable-focused tasting menus with sustainable fish and game. The wine list is fun and varied, with a good selection of natural wines and reasonable prices." - Monique van Loon
Located in the old Het Veem warehouse with glimpses of the Oude Houthaven, this high-end restaurant started out as a vegetarian pop-up but now also incorporates locally sourced meat and fish into its menu. A clean, modern interior best described as ‘Dutch minimalist’ doesn’t detract from its sophisticated seasonal fare, and it currently holds the top spot on Time Out’s list of best restaurants in Amsterdam for 2025. - Liv Kelly
