About
Tucked away at Danzigerkade 179 on the edge of Amsterdam's historic harbour district, Lars is one of the city's most exciting fine-dining addresses. Chef Lars Scharp crafts a modern cuisine that fuses classic French technique with sharp Asian influences, earning the restaurant a Michelin Star, a 15/20 score from Gault&Millau, four We're Smart radishes, and a place in the 2026 Lekker Top 500.
One of Lars's most distinctive features is a 400 m² rooftop city garden situated opposite the restaurant, which serves as a sustainable source of inspiration and seasonal ingredients. Maître Floor Wiggers steers the front of house with warmth, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and genuinely welcoming — equally suited to a business lunch or a special dinner.
A Google rating of 4.7 from 410 reviews underlines the consistently high experience guests can expect. The restaurant also offers vegetarian options and outdoor seating, rounding out a proposition that is as thoughtful in hospitality as it is in the kitchen.
Book your table at Lars and taste the cooking that earned Amsterdam's harbour its Michelin Star.
