2 Best Restaurants in Oosterdok, Amsterdam

Although this area east of Central Station is rather generic, filled with newly constructed buildings, there are some excellent and varied restaurants. They tend to be a bit hidden, though, so choose a destination before you go, rather than wandering.

Choux

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

A delight for vegetarians and omnivores alike, this organic, veggie-centered eatery (albeit with meat and fish as accents, if you choose), close to the Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, highlights local ingredients in its inventive tasting menus. The sparse, informal decor ensures the focus is where it should be: on the beautifully presented small plates—think fresh, seasonal ingredients in dishes, served with a variety of textures and flavors.

Scheepskameel

$$$

Across the water from NEMO Science Museum, the "Ship's Camel" has casually minimalist decor that keeps the focus on the food. The wine list goes for exclusively (and mostly crisp) German offerings that complement refined but unfussy modern Dutch creations such as the raw seafood platter.
