The Best Restaurant in Museum District, Amsterdam

Background Illustration for Restaurants

Some of the city's most expensive and elegant restaurants are in this ultraposh area, where diners go to see and be seen before or after a concert or museum visit. The food tends to be as good as the people-watching.

Taiko Cuisine & Bar

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

This isn't your average sushi joint; in fact, sushi is just one of the choices on the sophisticated Asian fusion menu—which straddles Japanese, Chinese, Indian and Thai flavors—at the Conservatorium Hotel's signature restaurant. Chef Schilo Van Coevorden has built a reputation for bringing exciting flavors to Amsterdam's Asian palette. The atmosphere is urban chic, with exposed brick, industrial lighting, and a glass-box kitchen, and the stylish diners are likely enjoying Gunma Wagyu chuck rib or foie gras gyoza (dumpling) alongside standout sushi and sashimi.
