Restaurant Vinkeles

Restaurant Vinkeles is a prestigious two-Michelin-starred destination set within The Dylan Amsterdam hotel, housed in a beautifully preserved 18th-century bakery that once served a Roman Catholic almshouse. Chef Jurgen van der Zalm leads the kitchen with a commanding mastery of French culinary technique, blending classic sauces and premium-quality seasonal ingredients with bold personal creativity. Dishes such as glazed turbot paired with artichoke textures, mustard seeds, potato millefeuille, and a smoked lime sauce underscore his flair for complexity and precision. The intimate dining room — featuring just nine tables — incorporates the original stone and wood of the historic space into a modern, refined interior. Candlelit tables dressed in white linen, leather chairs, and views over the Keizersgracht canal create an atmosphere of understated luxury. The wine program is expertly curated, with a skilled sommelier team offering both classic pairings and contrasting selections. Service is warm, discreet, and highly attentive. Vinkeles has held Michelin recognition since 2009 and earned its second star in 2023, cementing its status as one of Amsterdam’s most celebrated and sought-after fine dining destinations.
