About
For over a decade, Café Modern has been one of Amsterdam Noord's most enduring culinary destinations. Tucked away on Meidoornweg — a short distance from the bustle of the city centre — chefs Ellas Jonker and Sander van Melick run a kitchen that Gault&Millau recognises with a score of 13.5/20, a mark that reflects the restaurant's steady, confident craft.
The kitchen revolves around a daily-changing multi-course menu, built on a sharp understanding of produce and technique. An enthusiastic and seasoned front-of-house team pours a carefully curated selection of natural wines that pairs beautifully with the progression of courses.
A Google rating of 4.4 across nearly 600 reviews, a terrace for warmer days, and weekend lunch service from noon onwards make Café Modern a compelling case that some of Amsterdam's most exciting cooking happens north of the IJ.
Book your table now — Jonker and Van Melick's ever-changing menu fills up fast.
