De Dyck
A pioneer in sustainable gastronomy
Just outside Amsterdam, you’ll find this restaurant powered by sun, wind, and water, continuing to lead the way toward a more sustainable and transparent gastronomy. Ingredients are often sourced from the surrounding areas, and frequently homegrown, with a clear identity that the restaurant is keen to highlight. On the occasions when meat and fish are served, they make a point of addressing issues related to animal welfare and the sustainability of the fish stocks. This is a gastronomy grounded in strong, thoughtful values and clear guidelines.
