De Kas, Amsterdam
Fresh market produce has become the new by-word for fine-dining recently, but Amsterdam’s De Kas restaurant has been way ahead of the curve since its conception in 2001.
Chef Gert Jan Hageman saved the city’s Municipal Nursery from the demolition ball and converted the eight-metre high greenhouse into a restaurant with its own fruit, vegetable and herb garden attached which supplies it with fresh produce. Celebrated local designer, Piet Boon, gave the space a distinctly Dutch look and the locals flocked to De Kas.
Now firmly established as one of the best eateries in town, it has started to attract a discerning international crowd undaunted by the lack of choice on the menu (there is not one – it is one-dish-fits-all with options for vegetarians and non red meat eaters).
