The Chef

Cooking with intention

Executive Chef Raoul Meuwese describes his food as classic and traditional French, with international influences and a local touch. Working closely with sustainable suppliers and seasonal produce, he crafts dishes that reflect both the precision of French technique and the open, cosmopolitan spirit of Amsterdam. Every plate at Bridges begins with a question — what does this ingredient deserve?

Our Story

Refined dining in the heart of Amsterdam

Where craftsmanship meets warmth. Bridges is a contemporary fine dining restaurant for those who appreciate precision on the plate, depth in the glass, and a welcome that never feels formal. Executive Chef Raoul Meuwese draws on classic French technique and the international character of Amsterdam to create dishes rooted in season, locality and detail. Whether you choose the five- or seven-course Menu du Chef, or build your own experience à la carte, every visit is shaped around you. On select mornings, the pace slows further still — brunch and seasonal garden moments that carry the same care in a softer setting.
