Vermeer

Vermeer occupies a sequence of 17th century canal houses within the NH Collection Amsterdam Barbizon Palace, opposite Centraal Station. Under chef Sebastian Baquero Garces, the kitchen applies classical French technique to Dutch ingredients across seasonal set menus of four to six courses.

The dining room draws its atmosphere from the painter: restrained light, calm tones and an unhurried pace. Dishes are built around three elements (sea, land and earth) and rely on named Dutch producers, including outdoor raised Kemper chicken and hand-caught North Sea fish.

An adjacent wine room, Vermeers Wijnkamer, extends the evening with wines by the glass and refined small bites selected by sommelier Dannis Apeldoorn.
