MOS

Perched at the tip of IJdok with panoramic views across Amsterdam's IJ waterway, MOS is the creation of chef-owner Egon van Hoof and maître Henry Pattiwael van Westerloo. Since opening in 2015, the restaurant has held a Michelin star (awarded 2016) and a Gault&Millau score of 16 out of 20.

Van Hoof's cooking starts from a French foundation but reaches across continents: miso, yuzu, and umeboshi sit alongside tahini, mole, and classic beurre blanc preparations. The menu changes roughly every six weeks, with a separate vegetarian tasting menu receiving equal creative attention. Interiors in earthy tones with velvet finishings and Parisian-Marrakech design references frame the waterfront panorama.
