The Best Restaurant in De Pijp, Amsterdam

Background Illustration for Restaurants

There's an eclectic array of restaurants in this lively neighborhood, long the home of Turkish and Moroccan enclaves. As a result, you can easily find a roti, a lamb tagine, or a farm-to-table menu featuring market vegetables, along with plenty of coffee bars.

Ciel Bleu

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

This elegant two-Michelin star dining room nods to modernity with gleaming metallic design touches, but the French-international food at the "Blue Sky" leans more to the classically extravagant. Any of the three tasting menus (with a choice of two wine pairings) are highly recommended for a celebratory meal. Enjoy beautifully presented dishes—like the signature king crab with Baeri caviar, beurre blanc ice cream, and preserved lemon, or the delicate pink "Dutch shrimp'' with violet potatoes, and an elevated take on Dutch apple pie for dessert—while taking in the amazing panorama from the 23rd floor of the Hotel Okura Amsterdam.
