Farm to Table

We are proud of our Dutch farmers, fishermen, hunters, family cheese- and winemakers. We use the best available products from Dutch soil.

Dutch game

As a local sustainable Dutch restaurant we serve Dutch wildlife gamemeat; the natural richness of Dutch nature. These animals have never been locked up and have always been able to scratch their own food. This gives the meat more complexity and flavor richness.

Sustainable fish

As ambassador of Chef’s for Good Fish, L’invité only opts for sustainable fish on the menu. We check for sustainable fishing methods, the best season for the fish and we opt for local fish from the North Sea.

Local vegetables

We love to surprise you with a nice selection from the Dutch biodiversity of vegetables of the season. This encourages farmers and growers to grow more varied. By choosing the right seasons, fewer greenhouses are needed and you can taste more natural richness of Dutch soil.

Guest reviews

Amazing

We had the vegan tasting menu and it was incredible. Great dutch food and excellent service. Highly recommend for anyone in Amsterdam – we came from Australia specifically for the tasting menu and it didn’t disappoint.

Superb service, food and atmosphere

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at L’Invite. The host, maitre’d, chef, waiter, and owner, Sico, was excellent. We did the tasting menu which was top notch.

My wife is pescetarian (eats fish, but not meat) and he was easily able to accommodate her wishes. There were lots of local flavors and dishes even though it was January.

The wine was good and reasonably priced. Without a doubt the best meal we’ve had in Amsterdam. Highly recommend.

The Spa amongst Restaurant; good for the stomach, mind and soul

This absolutely was the best diner experience I had in the last few years. The Dutch food was prepared with care, the dishes were well balanced, the atmosphere kind and luxurious and we had a lovely evening yesterday. It’s the perfect place to recharge, get out of the rut and stress of the city, relax and regenerate your body and mind. A party for the tastebuds; a great experience; almost felt like a spa.

Absolutely fabulous dinner

We had the 7 course tasting menu of which L’invité was famous for. The only words I could think of to describe the entire dinner and experience are exquisite and sublime. the flavours delicately balanced. The wine recommended was superb. Our wonderful host – The service was gentle, personable and quietly timed and paired perfectly with the food. Thank you for such a lovely and truly memorable experience.

The Best!!!

This was truly the best meal we’ve had in Amsterdam, and one of the best meals we’ve had on our travels this year! Well done! Thank you for a memorable evening! The venison and pear creme brulee were the BEST!
