The delicious details

Wilde Zwijnen opened in 2010 as a pioneer of modern Dutch cooking in Amsterdam Oost's Indische Buurt. The kitchen works with regional produce, line caught fish, hand harvested shellfish and foraged ingredients, shaping each course around what the season provides.

Diners choose between a three, four or five course set menu in meat, fish or vegetarian format, with a cheese board to finish.

The dining room mixes exposed brick with wooden tables and hanging plants, creating a relaxed, industrial feel. Staff chalk guest names directly onto the tables. A seasonal terrace opens when the weather allows, and Bar Bachrach next door extends the evening with drinks and snacks.

Menu

What is on the table

The kitchen offers set menus of three, four or five courses in three formats: a chef's selection with meat and game, a fish menu built around line caught seafood, and a full vegetarian menu that receives equal attention to the other options. Dishes feature forgotten vegetables such as heirloom carrots and purple kale alongside wild game, foraged mushrooms and hand harvested shellfish. The menu shifts with the seasons, changing frequently to reflect what is available from regional producers. Wine pairings draw on a list that includes natural and organic bottles.
