About
Housed within the Rijksmuseum on Museumstraat, RIJKS® has built a culinary identity that draws deeply on Dutch terroir and translates it into a creative, contemporary language. Executive chef Joris Bijdendijk and chef Friso van Amerongen are the driving force behind this vision — meticulous in technique, grounded in local produce.
The accolades reflect the ambition: one Michelin star, a 17/20 from Gault&Millau, the maximum five We're Smart radishes for plant-forward cooking, and a place in the Lekker Top 500. The restaurant also received the 2025 Chef van het Jaar title, echoing an earlier 2014 Jonge Chef van het Jaar recognition. A Google rating of 4.4 across more than 1,770 reviews underlines the consistency guests experience visit after visit.
Sommelier Robin Toen guides diners through a thoughtfully assembled wine selection, while manager Jens van Driel ensures the welcome matches the food. Outdoor seating is available for those who want to dine with a view of one of Amsterdam's most iconic settings, and vegetarian diners are catered for with the same seriousness as any other guest.
