The story
Crafted with passion, served with love
A View from the Top
Ciel Bleu Restaurant occupies a rarefied position in Amsterdam's dining scene — both literally and figuratively. Situated on the upper floors of a landmark hotel on Ferdinand Bolstraat, the restaurant looks out over the city's rooftops and canals, a vantage point that sets the tone for everything that follows.
European Cuisine at Its Most Considered
The kitchen at Ciel Bleu is dedicated to European cuisine in its most refined expression — precise, seasonal, and rooted in classical technique. The cooking draws on the full breadth of European culinary tradition, translated into dishes that feel both accomplished and considered.
Recognized for Excellence
Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence is not given lightly. It signals a wine program of genuine depth and curation — one that complements a kitchen operating at a serious level. For guests who care about what is in the glass as much as what is on the plate, Ciel Bleu delivers on both counts.
Dinner at Ciel Bleu is an unhurried affair, suited to those who want more than a meal — a proper evening, high above Amsterdam, with European cooking and a cellar worthy of the occasion.
