Restaurant Spectrum

Restaurant Spectrum is a two-Michelin-starred restaurant located within the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam, one of the city’s most prestigious luxury hotels. Chef Sidney Schutte brings a genuinely global perspective to the kitchen, having trained at three-starred De Librije and Amber in Hong Kong before channeling his experience into a highly personal and inventive cooking style. The tasting menus — offered in vegetarian and seafood/meat formats — showcase the finest Dutch produce through an international lens, incorporating Asian culinary references and a fearless approach to contrasting flavors and textures. The elegant dining room, set on the lower ground floor with views of a private courtyard garden, offers a calm and refined atmosphere complemented by impeccable service. Maître-sommelier Cas Kratz leads a front-of-house team that is both technically accomplished and warmly engaging. The extensive wine list reflects the same breadth and quality as the cuisine. Spectrum has held two Michelin stars since 2015 and is consistently ranked among the finest restaurants in the Netherlands and Europe, representing the full breadth of Sidney Schutte’s remarkable culinary talent.
