Truly the best restaurant I visited in 2024! Everything was spectacular and so so fresh. It's a gorgeous atmosphere and the staff is so helpful. The only option seems to be a pre fixe menu - but deff try their add ons too! The steak tartar oyster blew my mind.
Dined at De Kas while visiting Amsterdam in October 2024. To say it was an amazing lunch experience is an understatement. We biked to the park, in true Amsterdam fashion, and found the greenhouse that the restaurant is located inside of fairly easily. The architecture is beautiful, and you truly feel like the food was grown and harvested steps away from the table. We were seated when our entire party arrived, and the service was attentive but also let us savor and enjoy our food - not overbearing in the slightest and highly accommodating to all requests. We were only able to snag a reservation for lunch - reservations go fast so make sure you check far in advance for openings, especially for dinner. Each course came out in a timely manner and every dish was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. Great price and value for a restaurant with a Michelin Star. I would recommend De Kas to anyone in Amsterdam looking for a highly unique, plant-based, fine dining experience. I will absolutely be returning next time I'm in town!
Amazing experience from start to finish. Setting in a park w a large greenhouse attached. That is how local it is! Amuse bouche of gazpacho and celery butter w house made crisps. Appetizer of pork belly w celery rot and slices of truffle. Incredible. Toast beet salad w radicchio and beet purée. Enoki mushrooms were delicious. Main was mackerel. Dessert was goat cheese mousse and second dessert mandarin sorbet w cardamom bookie.
Talk about a truly unique restaurant. The setting is in a gigantic greenhouse. All the food is sourced from vegetables grow in the greenhouse. A true farm to table restaurant. The freshest and most tasty food. It's a prix fixed 5 course menu for 89.00 Euros. 2.5 hour seating limit.
De Kas as in "Greenhouse". We had a fantastic dinner and experience here. It's truly farm to table...all the veggies and herbs are grown in the garden right outside or in the greenhouse. The greenhouse made for a beautiful setting for the dinner itself. The food and service were excellent as expected. Two thumbs up!
De Kas appears to be very hard to get a dinner reservation for, but not too bad for a lunch reservation. Not surprising, as it is fairly affordable for a Michelin star restaurant in Amsterdam. There is a major focus on vegetables here, as they are located in a greenhouse and grow their own vegetables. You can actually see the vegetables when you enter. I found the self-ordered appetizers to be the best things here, as we had some beef tartare oysters and cheeses. But the actual lunch course was just alright. I liked the fish dish we had, but the other dishes were creative but did not light the world on fire for me. Service was fine, as our server was really nice. But somehow we conspired to turn a two appetizer/three course meal into a two hour lunch. This really should not have taken that long. De Kas was a fine experience, but I'm not entirely sure it was worth the amount of time we spent here even with how affordable the menu was.
BEST MEAL IVE EVER HAD!!!! The food is mind-blowing. They grow their own veggies and use them in ways that are just incredible. They start you with three different plates before you even get to the tasting menu all of which was incredible. Everyone working there seemed to truly love it and sharing their love with the customers. The restaurant is in an old greenhouse and it creates the most amazing vibes. So much natural light, lots of indoor plants, just incredible. After we finished our meal, we put our names on the waitlist for every day until we left Amsterdam. Did not get in again but that's how good it was.
De Kas or "The Greenhouse" is located at Frankendael Park. Vegetables are the main feature. At their greenhouse and gardens, they grow a large variety of vegetables, herbs, and fruits. The restaurant has a Michelin star and a green Michelin star. We made reservations and arrived a little before noon when they opened. We walked around the greenhouse while we waited. There are two main dining areas and we sat where it mimics a greenhouse- lots of sunlight. It's a fixed menu of either 3 courses (€ 50) or 4 courses (€ 59) with dessert. As a preface, I don't know/ remember all the ingredients in each dish. There were some ingredients that I've never even heard of before as well. To start, we were given some appetizers- quinoa crisp with pea dip, radicchio with poppyseed & mustard, red cabbage spring rolls, and fried kale. We also ordered oysters which is additional. I preferred the oyster with violet vinegar and lemon over the oyster with steak tartare and parsley cream. The first course was beets with oyster leaves and radish. The oyster leaves actually taste like oysters! The second course was celeriac topped with greens and apples. To finish it off, they shave truffle on top tableside. The third course was squid cut like noodles that was topped with foam. Lastly, for dessert it was ice cream atop puffed grains and topped with foam. We were also given a scoop of chocolate gelato to end the meal. Make sure you allot enough time to dine here as it was about a 2 hour lunch. I enjoyed the meal and experience as a whole. But, TBH none of the dishes stood out as something I need to have more of. The exception is the oyster leaf itself, which is something that left a lasting impression on me.
One of our favorite dinners we had in the Netherlands! The service was outstanding. My husband and I both are meat eaters and our two friends we dined with were vegan (I emailed the restaurant ahead of time to let them know). We did the five tasting menu and the whole staff seamlessly was able to bring our dishes where the vegan dishes were as similar to the non-vegan dishes + made sure the correct people got the right food. The entire restaurant is beautiful on the inside and outside. You feel like you're sitting in an elevated greenhouse! I recommend walking in their gardens if you get a chance after dinner. Everything we ate was from their garden and it all tasted so fresh. The beets, the mushrooms, the turnips, chicken, asparagus, the yogurt, etc. I was just blown away by the quality of food! Make a reservation here because you will not regret it.
