Romantic Restaurants In Amsterdam

1. MOON

This revolving restaurant on the 19th floor of the landmark A’DAM Toren, serves up a unique fine dining experience with a spectacular 360˚ panorama of Amsterdam. As the restaurant slowly revolves in a full circle ever hour, you’ll have stunning views across the entire city.

The menu is just as impressive, with plenty of locally sourced ingredients.

2. De Bokkedoorns

You’ll find one of the most romantic restaurants in Europe in the beautiful dunes of Haarlem and Zandvoor. Not only does De Bokkedoorns boast a lakeside setting, it also has two Michelin stars to its name.

This is exceptional dining without any fuss – just simple and natural ingredients and design that shines through. It’s well worth a trip just outside of the city.

3. De Belhamel

Located just at the edge of the Jordaan district, you can enjoy a meal of French and Italian-inspired flavours on the beautiful waterfront terrace of De Belhamel. For colder months, the restaurant’s dim lighting and art nouveau décor adds a cosy sense of intimacy to any date night.

4. De Kas

De Kas is an oasis in Amsterdam’s Frankendael Park that focuses on a daily-changing menu from fresh produce grown in its very own greenhouse and garden.

You can dine inside a beautifully lit glass conservatory or, when it’s sunny, on the patio surrounded by fragrant herbs. It’s a foodie’s dream – go all out and get wine to match each course.

5. Vinkeles

How does a dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant sound for a date night to remember? There’s a regularly changing menu of dishes such as Japanese Wagyu beef, scallops with Jerusalem artichoke, apple, pancetta or carrot with tarragon and herbal tea.

Add in the excellent service and exclusive vibe and it’s easily one of the most romantic restaurants in Amsterdam.

6. Vuurtoreneiland

This beautiful café and restaurant sits on a small island northeast of Amsterdam’s city centre. As the island has no electricity or running water, food is cooked over old-school wood and fire. It’s a struggle to get a table for the six-course menu, but well worth it.

It’s without doubt an evening to remember.

7. Zaza’s

The theme of this lively restaurant comes from British comedy series ‘Absolutely Fabulous’, which is all about living life to the fullest. There’s just 12 tables, with a delicious and creative menu of food from the Mediterranean and Asia. Feast on Irish oysters and and steak tartare.

Zaza’s is always a fun night out in the city!
