About
Nestled within the Waldorf Astoria on Amsterdam's iconic Herengracht, Spectrum stands among the Netherlands' most decorated restaurants. Chef-owner Sidney Schutte and chef Danny Spoel craft inventive, produce-driven cuisine at an exceptional level — a feat recognised with two Michelin stars, a 18.5/20 from Gault&Millau, and a maximum five We're Smart radishes, the benchmark award for vegetable-forward gastronomy.
The dining room exudes understated elegance and warmth, perfectly mirrored by a service team and sommelier whose wine pairings elevate every course. This dedication to hospitality is no accident: the restaurant was named Gastheer van het Jaar (Host of the Year) in 2020, while Sidney Schutte was awarded Chef van het Jaar (Chef of the Year) in 2017.
A place in the Lekker Top 500 2026 and a Google rating of 4.7 from 299 reviews round out an accolade list that speaks for itself. Open Wednesday through Saturday from 6 PM, with menus priced between €210 and €270 per person, Spectrum is a destination reserved for evenings that deserve to be remembered.
