About
Few Amsterdam restaurants can rival Sea Palace for sheer spectacle: a three-storey pagoda-style building that floats on the IJ at Oosterdokskade 8, right in the heart of the city centre. The setting alone makes it one of the most distinctive dining destinations in the Netherlands.
The kitchen is rooted in Cantonese tradition — a cuisine prized for its depth of flavour and meticulous craft. That quality has earned Sea Palace a Michelin Bib Gourmand, the guide's stamp of approval for restaurants delivering excellent cooking at an accessible price point.
Over 9,200 Google reviews and a rating of 4.2 out of 5 speak to a loyal and wide-ranging following. Vegetarian options are available, and reservations are accepted — well worth making if you want a guaranteed seat with views across the water.
Book your table on the water and experience an Amsterdam icon that delivers on both atmosphere and flavour.
