“This is a true hidden gem in Amsterdam. Don’t be mistaken by the beautiful atrium as you make your way into the dining room. This is not an arboretum, it’s the Living Kitchen. Every aspect of this restaurant is elite and no detail is spared. The cozy and curated atmosphere will serve plenty of conversation, the staff is dedicated to crafting seasonal menus, and each dish is presented as a work of art. If you’re visiting Amsterdam, or even for locals the Living Kitchen at Zoku is a must do.”
