About
Tucked along the vibrant Utrechtsestraat in Amsterdam's city centre, De Juwelier is a restaurant that wears its ambitions lightly. Co-owners Richard van Oostenbrugge and Thomas Groot have crafted a space where a vintage interior and a bar overlooking the open kitchen produce an atmosphere that feels simultaneously lively and intimate.
Chef Thomas van Santvoort runs a strictly à la carte kitchen rooted in modern French cooking — guests compose their own experience rather than following a fixed menu. The approach has earned the restaurant a Michelin star and a Gault&Millau score of 14.5/20, while a place in the Lekker Top 500 of 2026 underlines the consistency year after year.
The title of Bistronoom van het Jaar 2022 captures the spirit perfectly: accomplished cooking without pretension, high-end yet genuinely welcoming. Over 454 Google reviewers have given the restaurant a 4.1 rating, reflecting broad appreciation that goes well beyond the usual critical circles.
