The delicious details

Restaurant Wils occupies the third floor of the building by architect Jan Wils, directly facing the 1928 Olympic Stadium he designed. The kitchen is built around an extended open hearth: three grills, a wood fired oven, a bread oven and a charcoal pit where every dish passes through direct contact with fire.

Master chef Joris Bijdendijk and chef de cuisine Thomas Val shape a menu that shifts with the seasons, drawing on named Dutch producers and the restaurant's own rooftop garden. A full vegan tasting menu runs alongside the standard six courses, each track treated with equal precision.

The room is open and generous, with a kitchen counter where guests watch the brigade work the flames. An on site bakery and patisserie round out the offering, producing bread served warm throughout service.

Menu

What is on the table

Six-course tasting menu cooked almost entirely over wood and charcoal, rooted in Dutch seasonal produce and direct supplier relationships. A full vegan tasting menu runs alongside the standard, each track treated with equal precision. Fermented and pickled elements, house-baked bread and rooftop garden herbs throughout.

The kitchen cooks almost exclusively over wood and charcoal: hanging grills, a Japanese konro and traditional ovens set the texture and timing for each course. The six course dinner menu is rooted in Dutch and seasonal produce, with clear Asian and Caribbean influences appearing in dishes like bara with veal sweetbreads or hamachi cured with coffee.

Vegetable led courses sit alongside protein, and a fully plant based tasting menu replaces dairy with plant alternatives throughout. Fermented and pickled elements, rooftop garden herbs and freshly baked bread appear across both tracks.
