The story
Het Bosch calls itself a “Waterfront Kitchen,” and the name is fitting. Set on the banks of the Nieuwe Meer in Amsterdam, the restaurant offers a dining experience that pairs seasonal Modern French cuisine with a panoramic view over the water. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, whether for an intimate dinner, a gathering with friends, or a business meeting.
The kitchen is driven by a love for quality and the purity of local ingredients. The menu changes with the seasons, reflecting a dedication to freshness and flavour. Each dish is designed to let the ingredients speak, with the water and light of the Nieuwe Meer as a constant backdrop. Guests can choose from a carefully composed menu and a wine list, both available as PDFs on the restaurant’s site. The kitchen serves lunch from 12:00 to 14:30 and dinner from 18:00 to 21:00, Monday through Friday.
Het Bosch has earned a place in the Michelin guide as a Recommended restaurant for 2026, a nod to its consistent quality and the memorable experience it provides. The combination of excellent Modern French cuisine, a serene waterfront location, and free on-site parking makes it a standout destination in Amsterdam.
The restaurant’s philosophy is simple: where good food and nature go hand in hand. It’s a place to linger, to enjoy a moment of pleasure by the water – a true taste of Amsterdam’s quieter side.
