About
Set within the five-star Dylan Hotel on Amsterdam's Keizersgracht, Vinkeles occupies an evocative eighteenth-century building that once served as a bakery. The atmosphere is one of understated luxury — a fitting prelude to cooking that has earned two Michelin stars and a Gault&Millau score of 17.5/20.
Executive chef Jurgen van der Zalm brings a boldly creative sensibility to the kitchen, blending classical technique with contemporary flair. That commitment to ingredient-led cooking is further recognised by We're Smart, which awards Vinkeles four radishes. At the table, sommelier Jasper van Amerongen steers guests through an extensive wine list spanning dozens of pages, from approachable everyday bottles to rare, grand references. The front-of-house experience, shaped by maître Merlijn Kemper, earned the restaurant the title of Gastheer van het Jaar (Host of the Year) in 2017.
Vinkeles features in the Lekker Top 500 for 2026 and holds a 4.7 Google rating across 390 reviews — consistent acclaim that underscores a dining experience well worth the investment of €185 to €245 per person. Open Tuesday through Saturday evenings, it ranks among the most celebrated restaurant addresses in Amsterdam.
