Since 1988, Vermeer has brought together craftsmanship, creativity and composure in the heart of Amsterdam. Under chef Sebastian Baquero Garces, the restaurant evolves through refinement rather than trends. Rooted in classical French cuisine and shaped by modern technique, the kitchen places Dutch ingredients at the forefront. The menu revolves around three elements: sea, land and earth, celebrating oysters from the Oosterschelde, outdoor raised Kemper chicken and hand caught fish alongside seasonal vegetables from trusted producers. Sustainability is embedded in every choice, from organic sourcing to close collaboration with farmers and fishermen. The interior echoes this philosophy, with natural tones and lighting inspired by the paintings of Johannes Vermeer, creating focus and serenity. Service is warm and attentive, whether enjoying a full tasting menu or a glass of wine in the Wijnkamer. At Vermeer, dining becomes a harmonious dialogue between depth and simplicity, tradition and contemporary Dutch identity.
