About
Choux, situated on De Ruyterkade in the heart of Amsterdam, is a destination restaurant in every sense. The setting strikes an industrial note softened by impeccably laid tables and crisp white napkins, while owner-chef Merijn van Berlo and chef Dirk Groeneveld deliver a modern French menu in which vegetables take an unambiguous lead role. Co-owner and sommelier Figo van Onna curates a list focused on natural and biodynamic wines, steering less experienced guests through the selection with genuine expertise.
The kitchen's approach — diverse in technique, coherent in vision — has earned Choux an impressive collection of accolades. Michelin awarded it one star; Gault&Millau rates it 16 out of 20; and We're Smart granted the restaurant its maximum of five radishes, recognising it among the world's finest vegetable-driven tables. The restaurant was also named Groenterestaurant van het Jaar (Vegetable Restaurant of the Year) in 2022, appears in the Lekker Top 500 for 2026, and holds a 4.6 Google rating across nearly a thousand reviews.
Service is smooth, natural and informed, matching the unhurried but purposeful atmosphere of the room. Choux opens for dinner Tuesday through Saturday, with menus priced between €52.50 and €82.50. Reservations are available and highly recommended.
Reserve your table at Choux and experience Amsterdam's most decorated vegetable-forward restaurant for yourself.
