Michelin tables in Amsterdam
5 michelin tables in Amsterdam, chosen and checked by the Atlas. The world's great dining rooms, from three-star palace restaurants in Paris and Mayfair to the counters of Tokyo and the kitchens of New York and São Paulo. Only Michelin-starred tables.
Ciel Bleu
Amsterdam's best-known two-star restaurant, on the 23rd floor of the Hotel Okura, with views across the whole city.
Flore
Bas van Kranen's restaurant at the De L'Europe hotel on the Amstel, built around Dutch produce.
Vinkeles
Dennis Kuipers's restaurant at The Dylan, a canal-house hotel on the Keizersgracht.
Restaurant 212
Counter dining on the Amstel river, where guests watch the kitchen at work.
Yamazato

Good to know
Book early
Three-star tables often release reservations 30 to 90 days ahead and fill within hours. Set a reminder, or ask your hotel concierge.
Dress the room
Smart is the rule; a jacket is expected in most palace-hotel dining rooms, and some still require a tie.
Tell them in advance
Allergies, dislikes and celebrations are best mentioned when booking, not at the table.
Lunch is the secret
Many starred kitchens serve a shorter lunch menu at a fraction of the dinner price, with the same hands at the stove.
