Ciel Bleu

Ciel Bleu is one of Amsterdam's most celebrated fine-dining rooms — a two-Michelin-star restaurant on the 23rd floor of Hotel Okura, where modern French cooking comes with a sweeping view over the city.

The experience

Expect refined, artfully plated tasting menus built on seasonal ingredients, with seafood a particular strength, matched by an extensive wine list and polished service.

The 'blue sky' setting high above the rooftops — the name says it all — is as much a part of the evening as the food.

Good to know

This is a special-occasion restaurant: reserve well in advance, expect a tasting-menu format, and dress smartly.

It's at the top of Hotel Okura, on the edge of De Pijp; check the official site for current menus and times.
