5 Museum Restaurants That Are Every Bit as Good as the Art
The days of eating nothing but a soggy toasted sandwich in the museum café are over. A Michelin-starred meal is what’s on the menu—at least in these museum restaurants.
RIJKS, Rijksmuseum Amsterdam
Naturally, we’ll start with the Netherlands’ very own museum pride and joy: RIJKS. After the Rijksmuseum’s extensive renovation, Joris Bijdendijk was brought on board. Two years later, the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star. Local, high-quality, simple and slow is what you’ll eat here. Dutch glory at its best.
Odette, National Gallery Singapore
What was once the registration room of the Supreme Court is now home to the intimate restaurant Odette, named after the grandmother of the chef at the helm: Julie Royer. Expect modern, refined and, above all, exceptionally beautiful dishes.
Nerua, Guggenheim Bilbao
Although Nerua is located inside the Guggenheim, it has its own entrance. From that same entrance, you can already see the kitchen. Entirely in keeping with the Guggenheim’s modern art, you’ll eat modern dishes here with innovative accents.
The Modern, MoMa New York
Where in New York can you be right in the middle of the city and still find enormous peace and quiet? Exactly—here. The view of the sculpture garden is included. What more could you want? Well, delicious food, of course. And that’s exactly what Chef Abram Bissell and his team take care of.
L’Imbuto, Lu.C.C.A. Lucca
No comfort food here, but uncomfort food. Like art, Chef Christiano Tomei wants to stimulate your senses and, above all, not make things too easy for you. Delicious, naturally. Let’s just say it’s difficult to explain, but it’s definitely something you should try for yourself.
