Ron Gastrobar

Top choice in Amsterdam


Ron Blaauw ran his two-Michelin-star restaurant in these pared-down, spacious designer premises before turning it into a more affordable 'gastrobar' (still Michelin-starred), whereby you get the quality without the formality. He serves gourmet tapas-style dishes, dry-aged rib steaks and stellar seafood sharing dishes, or you can choose the 'best of Gastrobar' six-course menu for €69.50 per person.

It's been such a success that he's opened two more Asian-themed versions across town.
