De Juwelier, Amsterdam

Forum member Tischnotizen says: “The Michelin Guide classifies ‘De Juwelier’ as modern French, but what head chef Wouter Wingelaar and his team serve up from the open kitchen strikes me as more traditional than modern. But ultimately, such labels are irrelevant when the result is so convincing in terms of both craftsmanship and flavour. And sometimes you simply fancy straightforward, no-frills classic cuisine that does without any avant-garde elements. The service is equally impressive: attentive, knowledgeable and with just the right touch of informality to make you feel at home straight away. We had barely left the restaurant when the friendly sommelier and restaurant manager called us, because he had realised he’d forgotten to deduct the deposit due at the time of booking from the bill. We hadn’t noticed that either. Shortly afterwards, the amount was credited back to us. Another sign of excellence. And that sums up the whole evening.” (Published in November 2025)
