Restaurant Flore
Amsterdam's most convincing case that two-star dining can be plant-led.
Dinner starts in the kitchen, where Bas van Kranen's team hands you a snack and a short, genuinely interesting briefing on the biodynamic farms behind the menu. Then you're walked into a dining room of pale wood and eleven tables at De L'Europe, renovated top to bottom in early 2026, and the botanical tasting menu takes over: no dairy anywhere, vegetables aged and fermented like proteins, a celeriac course that outmuscles most steak. The fully plant-based menu isn't the apology version, it's the constant, year-round. Two Michelin stars plus the green one, and unusually for that tier, the pacing is brisk and the staff are funny. The non-alcoholic fermentation pairing is a serious piece of work in its own right. Book weeks ahead; the doormen will pretend you belong.
Take the non-alcoholic fermentation pairing over the wine, it's the kitchen's real flex.
