About
Perched on the 23rd floor of Hotel Okura in Amsterdam Zuid, Ciel Bleu stands among the most decorated restaurants in the Netherlands. Two Michelin stars, a near-perfect 19/20 from Gault&Millau, and a place in the 2026 Lekker Top 500 speak to a level of excellence that is consistent year after year — with panoramic views of the Amsterdam skyline adding an unmistakable sense of occasion.
Executive chef Arjan Speelman leads a kitchen where creative ambition and technical mastery come together in every course. The cuisine is inventive yet cohesive, built on luxurious ingredients handled with extraordinary precision. Front-of-house, maître Francesco Simonelli and sommelier Gioele di Gianni deliver service that feels both deeply personal and effortlessly refined — a combination reflected in the restaurant's 4.7 Google rating across more than 467 reviews.
Over the years, Ciel Bleu has accumulated an impressive roll of industry honours: Chef of the Year in 2019, Sommelier of the Year in 2014, and Host of the Year in 2011. Two We're Smart radishes further recognise the thoughtful role that vegetables play in the kitchen's compositions. Together, these accolades paint a portrait of a restaurant that excels in every dimension of the dining experience.
