The delicious details

Born from the shared ambition of chef Dorus Floris and sommelier Lendl Mijnhijmer, Showw occupies a light-filled space in the CrossOver building near Amsterdam's RAI. The open kitchen produces what the duo calls high-end comfort food: dishes built around profound flavours and refined technique, from North Sea crab with satsuma to morel with truffle and black garlic.

Interior designer Manon de Groot shaped the 340-square-metre dining room with clay-toned walls, dark flooring, and acoustic artwork.

Seasonality drives the menu, which draws on Dutch produce from different regions: Oosterschelde lobster, Alkmaar cheese, and Dutch shrimps each appear in their own right. A full vegetarian tasting menu runs alongside the main carte. Lendl's wine service is distinctive; labels stay hidden until after tasting, encouraging guests to engage with each glass on its own terms. The cellar holds over 750 selections.

Menu

What is on the table

Five- or six-course tasting menus built around seasonal Dutch produce, Oosterschelde lobster, morels, asparagus, paired with global seasonings: vadouvan, miso, tandoori, muhammara. A full vegetarian tasting menu treats vegetables as the lead element. Gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free options available.

The kitchen centres on tasting menus of five or six courses, with a dedicated vegetarian sequence that treats vegetables as the lead element rather than as substitutes. Seasonal Dutch produce shapes the carte: spring brings asparagus, broad beans and morels, while Oosterschelde lobster and Dutch shrimps anchor the seafood courses.

Global seasonings run through both the regular and vegetarian menus; vadouvan, kosho, miso, tandoori and muhammara give each dish a distinct character without overwhelming the core ingredient. Both a la carte and tasting formats are available, and the kitchen accommodates gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free dietary requirements. Wine pairings are served blind by the sommelier.
