This list is an excellent gateway to authentic Dutch cuisine, especially for those looking to explore local favourites beyond tourist traps.


  • Annual Ranking: The 2026 Top 100 restaurants are announced, covering fine dining to casual spots across major Dutch cities.
  • Local Favourites: Many featured restaurants aren't on popular booking platforms and may lack English menus, but offer high-quality food for a true local experience.
  • How to Book: Once you find a restaurant, it's best to call directly or book via their official website, as most aren't on third-party platforms.

If you plan to visit these restaurants in May-June, check for special strawberry season menus. Remember, the list itself is free, but restaurant bookings and meals are at your own expense.
