Senses Restaurant Amsterdam
Let your senses be stimulated

welcome to senses

Senses Restaurant is an intimate fine dining destination, tucked away in the heart of Amsterdam, where gastronomy and hospitality have come together seamlessly since 2011. Led by Chef Renaud Goigoux, the team creates a refined culinary experience where flavor, creativity, and service take center stage.

We work as much as possible with locally sourced ingredients, including meat and cheese carefully selected from the Amsterdam region, and offer both a chef’s menu ranging from two to six courses, as well as an extensive à la carte selection. Seven days a week, we welcome our guests for an unforgettable experience.

We are proud of our recognitions, including a listing in the Michelin Guide, a score of 13.5 points from Gault&Millau, membership with JRE Netherlands, and inclusion in the Lekker 500. As part of The Albus Boutique Hotel, we offer a complete experience: dine in style and stay in luxury.

Their aim is not only to excel in taste and service, but also to raise awareness around sustainability.

Professional, bespoke and friendly service

Meet the Chef

Renaud Goigoux grew up in Clermont-Ferrand, France. From a young age, he started cooking and developed a deep passion for the world of hotels and restaurants. After gaining international experience in countries including Australia, the Philippines and Switzerland, he settled in Amsterdam in 2014.

He worked in the kitchens of restaurant Daalder and then became sous-chef under Guillaume de Beer and Freek van Noordwijk at restaurant Breda. In 2017, Joris Bijdendijk gave him the opportunity to become sous-chef at the Michelin-starred Rijks*, where he discovered the Dutch terroir and the refined gastronomy that are now an inseparable part of his identity. In June 2023, the Van der Meer family entrusted him with Senses, where he is now developing his own unique signature style.

A kitchen team with ambition

The vision of senses

The chef’s cuisine is constantly evolving, drawing inspiration from seasonality, color, and the exploration of ingredients. Technique, classic French sauces, precise cooking, and balance are at its core, enhanced by subtle Japanese influences and a strong focus on plant-based creations.

We serve a tasting menu centered around seasonal products from the North Sea and Dutch soil, complemented by ingredients from local suppliers. In addition, we offer a fully plant-based menu and an à la carte selection.

ALLERGIES

At Senses, we work from a strong plant-based foundation, complemented by carefully selected ingredients. This approach allows us to accommodate a wide range of dietary preferences and allergies, including lactose-free, gluten-free, vegetarian, and fully vegan options.

Our kitchen is flexible and creative, ensuring that every guest can enjoy a tailored culinary experience.

Please note that due to the use of soy products in our preparations, we are unfortunately unable to accommodate soy allergies.

We kindly ask you to inform us of any dietary requirements when making your reservation, so we can ensure a seamless and enjoyable dining experience.
