RIJKS® Restaurant

Due to the new corona measures, the restaurant is temporarily closed. We hope to welcome you again as soon as possible.

Joris Bijdendijk, Executive ChefRIJKS® first opened its doors in the Rijksmuseum’s Philips Wing in 2014, with Joris Bijdendijk at the helm as the restaurant’s Executive Chef. Bijdendijk introduced his Low Countries’ cuisine, which is firmly rooted in Dutch produce – in all its modest glory. The chef and his young team draw their inspiration from ingredients grown on Dutch soil, often making use of the many international flavours that have influenced Dutch cuisine across the centuries.

RIJKS® has 120 seats, a separate area for 40 guests and a terrace that seats 100. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner from Monday to Saturday and for lunch on Sunday.
