"No first-time visitor should come to Amsterdam without visiting the Rijksmuseum , home to several masterpieces by the Dutch Masters. Now, thanks to Michelin-starred Rijks, the food at the museum is as good as the art. The dishes by chef Joris Bijdendijk are playful yet precise and usually include a few international ingredients (think fermented celeriac embellished with coconut and sambal). The wine list features bottles from around the world but also includes a few surprising choices from the Netherlands. In keeping with the Dutch theme, they also offer several Dutch beers, as well as jenever." - Meredith Bethune
