A prodigy of 3-star Michelin chef Ron Blaauw, Jaimie Van Heije is one of Amsterdam’s rising culinary stars presiding over a landmark dining room in Ouderkerk home to his headlining eatery. A hand-stacked brick building with etched windows and black marquee leas to a black lacquer door and main dining room lined in caricatures and artwork by artist Selwyn Senatori. Black-and-white floors lend the feel of an old-time brassier with bentwood bistro chairs and walls of glass that conceal a chic outdoor terrace.
The Food
A three-to-six course menu scours the landscape for regional, sustainable produce and ingredients that frame a meticulous, pure menu of new Dutch cuisine. A mostly fish and seafood-minded menu ponders various interpretations of local recipes for a culinary triumph that’s one of the best dining experiences in Amsterdam.
