Restaurant Daalder is chef Dennis Huwaë’s fine-dining restaurant at Lindengracht 90 in Amsterdam’s Jordaan. In June 2026 it moved back to the canal-side corner building where it started, after almost five years in the Het Sieraad building on Postjesweg. The kitchen serves a six-course tasting menu for €125, built on Indonesian and wider Asian flavours.
Update: Older reviews describe neon lights, street art and a nightclub mood. That was the Het Sieraad restaurant in Amsterdam-West, which closed on 2 May 2026. Postjesweg 1 is now BRONS, an all-day café run by the same team. If you want Daalder, go to the Jordaan.

About Restaurant Daalder
Daalder began in 2008 as Café Mevrouw Daalder, a Jordaan café opened by restaurateur Frans van Dam on the corner of Lindengracht and Eerste Goudsbloemdwarsstraat. The cooking grew more ambitious over the years. In early 2016 Dennis Huwaë became co-owner and took over the kitchen.
Huwaë trained in starred kitchens, including ‘t Laurierblad, The Fat Duck and Ciel Bleu. Before Daalder he spent years as sous-chef to Moshik Roth at the two-star &samhoud places. GaultMillau named him Talented Chef of the Year in 2018 and gave the restaurant 15 out of 20 points in its 2024 guide. Daalder also ranked 83rd in Lekker’s 2023 list of the best restaurants in the Netherlands.
The Michelin star came on 29 March 2021, while the restaurant was still in its small Jordaan room of about 54 square metres. Later in 2021 Daalder moved to Het Sieraad, a former school building in De Baarsjes, and the Lindengracht space became Daalder Atelier, a more experimental chef’s table. In 2026 the team reversed course: the main restaurant came home to Lindengracht 90, and Het Sieraad was turned into BRONS.
The dining room now
Expect a different room from the one in older photos. Michelin’s September 2026 write-up describes warm colours, wood panelling and a modern bistro feel in the corner building. Huwaë has said the move gives him “more focus, more calm” and a sharper idea of what Daalder should be. Guests now sit closer to the kitchen in a smaller, more intimate space.
Does Daalder still have a Michelin star?
Daalder held one Michelin star at Het Sieraad from 2021. After the move, the Michelin Guide added the Lindengracht restaurant to its Netherlands selection as a new entry in September 2026. Michelin announces stars only at its annual ceremony, and the 2026 Dutch ceremony is on 5 October 2026. Until then, the star at the new address is not confirmed.
Menu and prices
Daalder is built around a six-course menu at €125 per person, and an à la carte list is also offered. Huwaë’s cooking mixes Dutch and French technique with Indonesian and other Asian flavours. Michelin points to his shrimp bao, a lamb course that uses several cuts (including caramelised rib with a char siu glaze) and a stroopwafel dessert. The wine list also gets a special mention.
The six-course menu published on the restaurant’s website in September 2026:
- Snacks: salmon nigiri, tuna with seaweed, shrimp bao
- North Sea crab with langoustine, kaffir lime and bisque
- Perfect egg with beans, sambal and tomato
- Brioche feuilletée with cultured butter
- Lamb with carrot, kumquat and tandoori
- Mango with apricot, kaffir lime and Thai basil
- Stroopwafel with caramel, ice cream and Maldon salt
| Option | Price |
|---|---|
| Six-course menu | €125 per person |
| Wagyu entrecôte instead of lamb | €55 supplement |
| Oscietra caviar | €69 supplement |

Best time to visit
Daalder currently serves dinner only, Thursday to Monday from 17:30. It is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday, so plan midweek dinners for Thursday or Monday. The website does not list a lunch service at Lindengracht, and the old €99 lunch belonged to Daalder Atelier, which has closed.
The new room is smaller than Het Sieraad, which means fewer tables each night. Book early for Friday and Saturday. If Daalder regains its star on 5 October 2026, demand may rise, so booking before then is a sensible move for autumn dates.
On Saturdays the Lindenmarkt, one of Amsterdam’s largest street markets, fills Lindengracht from 09:00 until late afternoon. It does not overlap with dinner, but it makes daytime parking harder and is worth a stroll if you arrive in the area early.
How to get there
Restaurant Daalder is at Lindengracht 90, 1015 KK Amsterdam, on the corner with Eerste Goudsbloemdwarsstraat in the northern Jordaan.
- On foot from Amsterdam Centraal: about 15 to 25 minutes, heading west along Brouwersgracht and into the Jordaan.
- By tram: tram 3 runs along Marnixstraat, with stops at Marnixplein and Nieuwe Willemsstraat a few minutes’ walk from the restaurant.
- By bus: lines 18 and 21 stop at Nieuwe Willemsstraat.
- By bike: the Jordaan is easy to reach by bike, but space on the narrow streets is limited, so use a public rack.
- By car: parking on Lindengracht is paid street parking and scarce. Public transport or a taxi is usually simpler.
- From Schiphol Airport: take the train to Amsterdam Centraal, then walk or take a tram.
Tram and bus routes in central Amsterdam change often because of roadworks. Check the GVB journey planner or 9292 on the day of your visit.
What happened to Daalder at Het Sieraad?
Daalder served its last dinners at Postjesweg 1 on 2 May 2026. On 8 May, Huwaë and Frans van Dam opened BRONS in the same space: an all-day neighbourhood café by the water in Amsterdam-West with a large terrace. The menu is short and informal, with toasties, pastries, smashburgers, fluffy pancakes, eggs Benedict and a daily special, at prices the team calls accessible. BRONS is not a Michelin restaurant, so check which address you are booking.
