BOLENIUS
Dutch Cuisine’s flagship restaurant Bolenius, which opened its doors in late 2010, is located among the office blocks of the commercial heart of Amsterdam, and was voted one of the world’s 25 best vegetable restaurants by We’re Smart World. The restaurant has a 120m2 vegetable patch, where star chef and Dutch Cuisine ambassador Luc Kusters harvests part of his fresh daily vegetables and herbs. The choice was to use a modern and healthy kitchen, with plenty of vegetables and the use of seasonal and local ingredients. In addition, the cooking is done with modern techniques, whereby much of the emphasis is on vegetables and seasonal products. Luc Kusters: ‘We place vegetables as much centre-stage as fish and meat, and make the difference with specific preparations and techniques. Inspiration is drawn from all over the globe, and we translate this to a minimalist Dutch cooking style’. Bolenius shows that healthy and tasty go well together, and that the (old) Dutch tastes are surprisingly contemporary.
