$$$$ | Red Light District Fodor's Choice

Opened in 2022, inside the regal Hotel de l'Europe, this "conscious fine dining" restaurant is elegant without being stuffy. Of course, the ingredients are local, seasonal and top-notch, but what really sets the Michelin-starred sustainability-led cooking apart are the inventive preparations. To avoid breaking the bank, opt for one of their lunch tasting menus. For a view to match the meal, ask for a table overlooking the Amstel River—there are only 11 tables so make sure to book in advance.
