The delicious details

Chef Dennis Huwae seeks the 'inner beauty' in every ingredient, applying classical French technique to flavours rooted in his half-Dutch, half-Moluccan upbringing.

Housed in Het Sieraad, a converted 1920s craft school on the waterfront in Amsterdam-West, the dining room pairs Amsterdam School architecture with neon lighting, street art murals, and an open kitchen that the team calls its 'cooking stage.' Pop music and a deliberately informal tone contrast with Michelin-starred precision on the plate.

The kitchen operates a surprise tasting menu format: guests choose the number of courses while the chef decides the rest, drawing on seasonal Dutch produce (Texel lamb, Oosterschelde lobster in season, berries from Prestige Fruit) alongside imported products like wagyu and caviar. A parallel vegetarian tasting menu can be adapted to fully vegan on request. Sommelier Saskia Smeenk, Champagne Sommelier of the Year 2025, guides the wine programme.

Menu

What is on the table

Surprise tasting menu built on French technique with Moluccan and Indonesian accents. Named Dutch suppliers anchor the cooking: Texel lamb from Meatstreet, seasonal berries from Prestige Fruit where chef Dennis Huwae is a Signatuurchef, and Oosterschelde lobster in season. A parallel vegetarian tasting menu is offered, adaptable to fully vegan on request.

The kitchen runs a surprise tasting menu format: the Daalder Experience and Dennis' Favourites, with a shorter lunch option at weekends. Dishes are built on classical French technique layered with Moluccan, Indonesian, and broader Asian accents; expect hamachi with green apple, tofu, and shiso alongside pigeon with carrot, coconut, and five spice.

Named Dutch ingredients anchor the menu: Texel lamb from Meatstreet, Oosterschelde lobster in its April to July season, and seasonal berries from Prestige Fruit, sitting alongside imported products such as wagyu and caviar.

Fermentation plays a recurring role, with fermented garlic and fermented pepper (the latter drawn from Moluccan black curry tradition) appearing across courses. A dedicated vegetarian tasting menu runs as a parallel experience, adaptable to fully vegan on request; RestauPlant documents 9 vegan and 9 vegetarian dishes across the repertoire. Allergen requests, including gluten-free and dairy-free adaptations, can be accommodated when communicated at booking.
