"The best meal of my life. Could not recommend this rooftop restaurant enough. We each got the shared plates meal, and the flavors were out of this world. The chefs deserve so much recognition. The meal was absolutely phenomenal."
Mae RussellDinner at The Living Kitchen
"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."
K PDinner at The Living Kitchen
"A restaurant hidden on the top floor of the Zoku. It is a co-working place during the day with a good lunch and dinner menu. The chefs steal the show: Andreas and José have a changing multi-course menu that is filling, tasty and affordable!"
