Graham's Kitchen

Top choice in De Pijp


A veteran of Michelin-starred kitchens, chef Graham Mee now crafts intricate dishes at his own premises. Multicourse menus (no à la carte) might include a venison and crispy smoked-beetroot macaron, cucumber and gin-cured salmon, veal with wasabi and ghost crab, and deconstructed summer-berry crumble with wood-calamint ice cream. Mee personally explains each dish to diners.

Most produce is organic and sourced from the Amsterdam area. The intimate space is small, so reserve well ahead. Tables are set up on the pavement in summer.
