Best Restaurants Open Sunday in Amsterdam 2026

Why a Sunday list matters in Amsterdam

The casualties of a Dutch Sunday are the rooms most visitors travel for. Ciel Bleu on the 23rd floor of the Okura, Flore on the canal and Wils by the Olympic stadium all close that night, the kitchens resting to reset produce and the brigade after a long week. Land at the weekend's tail and a concierge will often steer you to the hotel dining room or to room service. The list below exists to give a better answer.

What stays open is the hotel kitchen, the seafood house and the brasserie built for a seven-day week, plus the rare star that chooses Sunday as a service night. The order leads with the two seafood rooms that hold a Michelin Guide listing and the one-star kaiseki, then runs to the rooftop steakhouse, the Asian room by Vondelpark and the brasserie of the local set. Every hour was checked against each restaurant's published schedule in June 2026, and the closures above were confirmed too. Each name links to its full review with the score. For the wider week, start with the Amsterdam dining guide, and for the start of the week see restaurants open on Monday in Amsterdam.

The Sunday list

Yamazato

Japanese kaiseki · De Pijp, Amsterdam · €95–150 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, dinner from 18:00 (closed Tue–Wed)

Yamazato holds the distinction of being the first traditional kaiseki restaurant outside Japan to earn a Michelin star, and it has kept the one star ever since at the Hotel Okura on Ferdinand Bolstraat. The kaiseki tracks the Japanese seasons, the sashimi and the simmered courses measured to the gram, and a meal runs about €95 to €150 a head. Sunday is a service night here while Tuesday and Wednesday are dark, which makes it the rare one-star you can book at the weekend's end. Take the counter to watch the knife work and ask for the full kaiseki over the bento.

Bridges

Seafood · Centrum (canal), Amsterdam · €70–120 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, lunch 13:00–15:00 & dinner 18:30–21:00

Bridges is the seafood kitchen of the Sofitel Legend The Grand on Oudezijds Voorburgwal, a former convent and city hall set around a quiet courtyard. The cooking leans on the day's catch, a raw bar and a chef's menu where the turbot and the oysters are the order, with a meal landing about €70 to €120 a head. It carries a Michelin Guide listing and runs both Sunday lunch and dinner, one of the few canal-side fine-dining rooms to do so. Sunday lunch in the courtyard is the move, a long midday table while the rest of the guide sleeps.

Visaandeschelde

Seafood · Rivierenbuurt (Zuid), Amsterdam · €55–95 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, 12:00–16:00 & 17:00–20:00

Visaandeschelde sits on Scheldeplein in the Rivierenbuurt, across from the RAI, a Michelin Guide seafood room the south of the city has booked for business lunches for years. The kitchen runs an oyster bar and a whole-fish counter, the day's catch grilled or roasted and a strong list of Dutch and French whites, with a meal about €55 to €95 a head. It opens Sunday across midday and into the evening, the only stretch on this list that covers a Sunday afternoon. It is the pick for a long, unhurried Sunday lunch on the quieter side of town.

Mr Porter

Steakhouse · Centrum (rooftop), Amsterdam · €60–110 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, bar from 12:30, dinner 18:00–23:00

Mr Porter crowns the roof of the W Amsterdam on Spuistraat, a steakhouse with a terrace over the rooftops of the old centre. The dry-aged cuts off the grill are the reason to climb up, the bone-in ribeye and the chateaubriand for two the orders, with a meal about €60 to €110 a head. The bar opens early on a Sunday and dinner runs to eleven, so it works for a late table or a long drink at altitude. Book a window seat or the terrace, and lead with the ribeye the kitchen is built around.

MOMO

Asian fusion · Oud-Zuid (Vondelpark), Amsterdam · €45–80 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, 10:00–01:00

MOMO holds the ground floor of the Park Centraal on Hobbemastraat, a few steps from Vondelpark, and keeps an Asian kitchen and bar loud and busy when the fine-dining rooms are shut. The sushi, the robata skewers and the black cod are the orders, with a meal around €45 to €80 a head. Sunday runs long here, morning through to one the next, kitchen and bar in step. It is the pick for a social Sunday near the park, the room that fills with a younger crowd and a long cocktail list while the city's stars rest.

Le Garage

French brasserie · Oud-Zuid, Amsterdam · €55–90 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, dinner 18:00–23:00

Le Garage has fed the Amsterdam set on Ruysdaelstraat since 1990, a red-leather and mirror room near the Concertgebouw. The kitchen runs French classics, the steak tartare and the sole meuniere the orders, with a meal about €55 to €90 a head. It opens Sunday for dinner, a single evening service rather than the all-day Monday run. It is the value pick of this list and the most see-and-be-seen Sunday in the city, the table the local crowd books for a long evening after a concert or a gallery afternoon.

How to book a Sunday table in Amsterdam

Because the stars thin out on a Sunday, the Michelin tables are the ones to plan around. Yamazato opens Sunday and rests Tuesday and Wednesday, so a Sunday counter seat for the kaiseki is one of the easier one-star bookings of the week. Bridges runs both Sunday lunch and dinner and rarely fills early, so a same-week call secures the courtyard. Visaandeschelde covers the whole of a Sunday afternoon and is the seafood pick for a long lunch. Mr Porter, MOMO and Le Garage keep their own hours and take walk-ins, but the rooftop, the window seats and the prime evening tables go first, so book those ahead. For a solo Sunday, the counter at Yamazato and the bar at MOMO are the easiest seats and a fine solo-dining move. Entertaining a client? Bridges is the room to impress a client in Amsterdam; for a group, Le Garage seats a crowd for an Amsterdam team dinner.

Frequently asked questions

Are any Michelin restaurants open on Sunday in Amsterdam?

Yes, more than the Monday list offers. Yamazato, the one-star kaiseki room at the Hotel Okura, opens Sunday for dinner, and Bougainville on the Dam, a one-star in the 2025 Michelin Guide, serves Sunday evenings too. Bridges and Visaandeschelde, both in the Michelin Guide for seafood, also open Sunday. So while Ciel Bleu, Flore and Wils rest, a Sunday booking in Amsterdam can still land you a starred or guide-listed table. See the wider Amsterdam dining guide for the rest of the week.

Is Yamazato open on Sunday in Amsterdam?

Yes. Yamazato, the one-star kaiseki restaurant at the Hotel Okura on Ferdinand Bolstraat, opens Sunday for dinner from 18:00, and rests instead on Tuesday and Wednesday. The seasonal kaiseki runs about €95 to €150 a head, with sashimi and simmered courses precise to the gram. A Sunday counter seat is one of the easier one-star bookings of the week, so a few days' notice usually secures it.

Why do so many Amsterdam restaurants close on Sunday?

Dutch fine dining keeps a short week and most kitchens pair their rest days around the weekend's end, so Sunday and Monday are the common closing nights. Ciel Bleu, Flore and Wils all go dark on a Sunday to reset produce and rest the brigade. The rooms that stay open are the hotel restaurants, the seafood houses and the brasseries that run a longer week by design, plus the rare star, like Yamazato and Bougainville, that picks Sunday as a service night.

Where can I eat seafood on a Sunday in Amsterdam?

Two Michelin Guide seafood rooms open Sunday. Bridges, inside the Sofitel Legend The Grand off the Oudezijds Voorburgwal, serves Sunday lunch and dinner with a raw bar and the day's catch. Visaandeschelde on Scheldeplein in the Rivierenbuurt opens Sunday midday and evening, an oyster bar and whole-fish kitchen that the south of the city books for a long lunch. Both run roughly €55 to €120 a head. See the best seafood restaurants worldwide for more.

What is the best Sunday steak in Amsterdam?

Mr Porter, the rooftop steakhouse at the top of the W Amsterdam on Spuistraat. It opens Sunday for dinner from 18:00, with the bar running from half past twelve, dry-aged cuts off the grill and a terrace over the rooftops of the centre. A meal lands about €60 to €110 a head. Book a window table or the terrace for the view, and order the bone-in ribeye the room is built around.
