About
Situated at Stadionplein in Amsterdam-Zuid, Wils has carved out a singular position on the Dutch dining scene. A sweeping open kitchen dominated by wood fire and charcoal grills is both the visual centrepiece and the culinary engine of the restaurant. Executive chef Joris Bijdendijk and chef Thomas Val channel a global pantry through the primal intensity of live flame, resulting in a world cuisine that constantly evolves.
The accolades speak for themselves: Wils holds a Michelin star, earns 15/20 from Gault&Millau, features in the Lekker Top 500 for 2026, and is awarded four We're Smart radishes in recognition of its commitment to plant-based ingredients. A Google rating of 4.5 across 365 reviews confirms that guests share the enthusiasm of the critics.
Sommelier Barbora Peterikova steers the wine journey, while manager Evy Kooreman ensures the warm, convivial hospitality that sets the tone from arrival to farewell.
