Best restaurants in Amsterdam


Introduction

Amsterdam's food scene reflects its cosmopolitanism. Be it kebab, babi pangang, pad thai, tajine, hamburgers, Indian curry, falafels, chop suey, sushi, bockwurst, pancakes or French haute cuisine, you will find it in Amsterdam. Here is a short list of the most famous eateries in town.

Gourmet Restaurants

The Michelin Red Guide is the international reference in terms of restaurant evaluation. The guide awards one to three stars to a small number of restaurants of outstanding quality.

One star indicates a "very good cuisine in its category", a two-star ranking represents "excellent cuisine, worth a detour," and three stars are awarded to restaurants offering "exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey".

The following restaurants have been awarded stars by Michelin Netherlands 2012.

The Gault Millau Guide is the other influential French restaurant guide. It is known as Gayot in English-speaking countries. It rates restaurants on a scale from 1 to 20, awarding one toque to restaurants with a rating of 13 or 14, two toques for those scoring 15 or 16, three toques for 17 and 18, and four toques for the top score of 19/20. Five toques are awarded in some countries like France for restaurants scoring 19.5/20. The Gault Millau rating is shown in brackets after the Michelin star(s).
