About
Tucked into a narrow alley between the Nieuwendijk and Nieuwezijdse Voorburgwal in central Amsterdam, Kaagman & Kortekaas has quietly become one of the city's most distinctive dinner destinations. The room feels like a stylish brown café: warm lighting, an open kitchen, and a convivial hum — welcoming and entirely unpretentious.
Chef Giel Kaagman cooks intuitively and in step with the seasons, guided by what the market offers rather than a fixed repertoire. That approach has earned the restaurant a score of 15/20 from Gault&Millau, a Michelin Selected distinction, a place in the Lekker Top 500 2026, and a We're Smart radish for produce-focused cooking. The kitchen was also awarded the title of Dessert of the Year 2020. Diners back up every accolade: over 650 Google reviews have settled on a rating of 4.5 out of 5.
Host Bram Kortekaas and his team keep the atmosphere relaxed and genuinely hospitable, making even the more adventurous elements of the menu feel like an invitation rather than a challenge. Vegetarian options are available, dinner is priced between €69.50 and €89.50, and reservations are recommended.
