Turbo

Turbo Amsterdam is a nod to the owners' favorite car: the Saab Turbo. Sadly, it's no longer produced, but Turbo is alive and well. This modern hangout—a sister restaurant to De Tros—serves original lunch dishes like Japanese egg buns, miso mushrooms, and Korean fried fish.

From Kas

By far one of our favorite restaurants for a special lunch. Whether you're celebrating something or just want to treat yourself, Restaurant De Kas is unique in Amsterdam. Located in Park Frankendael, where an old greenhouse once stood, they operate largely independently using locally sourced ingredients. It's no wonder they've been awarded a Green Michelin Star.
