About
Tucked into Amsterdam West at Postjesweg 1, Daalder is one of the city's most distinctive fine-dining addresses. Chef Dennis Huwaë — honoured as Young Chef of the Year in 2018 — leads a kitchen that earns its one Michelin Star and 15/20 Gault&Millau score through bold, inventive cooking that constantly pushes in new directions. We're Smart has awarded the restaurant four radishes, a mark of its commitment to plant-forward creativity.
The format is refreshingly straightforward: guests decide how many courses they want, and the rest is in the hands of Huwaë, sous-chef Nigel Eccles, and sommelier Saskia Smeenk. The result is an evening of genuine surprise — one that has earned Daalder a place in the Lekker Top 500 2026 and a 4.4 Google rating across more than 800 reviews.
Outdoor seating is available for those who prefer the open air, and vegetarian diners are well catered for. With a price range of €145 to €225, Daalder sits firmly in the upper tier — a reflection of the craft and intention behind every plate.
Hand over the evening — reserve at Daalder and let chef Huwaë do the rest.
Laid-back, gourmet place where guests choose the number of courses & the chef determines the dishes.
