6. Bak

The Michelin-recommended Bak is located within an inconspicuous warehouse called Het Veem and accessed via an old wooden staircase. It boasts a cosy setting and beautiful views over the river IJ. The three- course menu is devised weekly from a selection of local, seasonal products, and might include dishes like fresh, buttery apple cream and salt-cooked celeriac, a cassoulet of forest beans from Frisland (in the far north of The Netherlands) with pulled pork and roasted cockles, and chicken carcass with stir-fried wild garlic.

7. Vuurtoreneiland

Vuurtoreneiland – which translates to “lighthouse island” – offers a dining experience like no other. Guests are ferried from the Lloyd Hotel in east Amsterdam to this island in Lake Markermeer, where you’ll be treated to a delectable four-course dinner set while seated inside a glass pavilion on the waterfront. In the autumn, Vuurtoreneiland moves underground into repurposed barracks, made cosy with blankets and a crackling fireplace. Dishes here lean heavily on the use of local, seasonal products like mackerel, wild duck, endives, peas and potatoes, which are mainly prepared over an open fire and cooked with age-old methods such as fermenting, pickling, smoking and roasting.
