RIJKS® first opened its doors in the Rijksmuseum’s Philips Wing in 2014, with Joris Bijdendijk at the helm as the restaurant’s Executive Chef.
Together with kitchen Chefs Yascha Oosterberg and Friso van Amerongen, Bijdendijk stands for the 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.
In November 2023, RIJKS® reopened after a grand renovation. In addition to a fresh interior, a new menu has been developed. The latest creations can be found on the RIJKS® NEXT menu.
