Amsterdam Restaurant Week

Mean cuisine

Amsterdam, like elsewhere in the country, turns into a diner's mecca twice a year for Restaurant Week. The idea is simple: eat, drink and be merry at no added expense. It's a great opportunity to sample some of the city’s finest dining establishments by trying discounted menus that won’t leave a nasty taste in your mouth. Snag a restaurant's signature dish and you may just leave feeling enlightened.

Let them eat well

Featured coveted kitchens from the last edition: Van Vlaanderen, Nevy at Westerdokdijk, the Supperclub cruise and Restaurant Fifteen, based on Jamie Oliver's successful concept that began life in London.

Editor’s personal picks: Ctaste for the bizarre experience of eating in the dark and Sing Sing, which excels on big Indonesian spicing and flavour.
