Which dish are you?

Aquarius (21 January–19 February) – Experimental dishes and unconventional flavours

You’re ahead of the food trends and dare to experiment. Wriggling bugs in your taco?, frog legs, bizarre snacks or fermented delicacies? You’re the first to try them. The more innovative and unpredictable, the better. Can’t wait? Add this restaurant to your list right away: everything here is fermented!

Pisces (20 February–20 March) – Delicate flavours and dreamy dishes

You’ve long known that you’re a romantic and a dreamer. But did you know this also applies to your eating style? Perhaps you hadn’t even noticed that you enjoy delicate flavours and dishes that transport you to another world. Fresh fish dishes, creamy pastas and soft desserts such as panna cotta or tiramisu… there’s a reason you love eating these things.

Aries (21 March–20 April) – Spicy and adventurous dishes

As a fiery Aries, you’re energetic and always looking for excitement – including on your plate. You love bold flavours, spicy dishes and quick meals that you can prepare without much fuss. Spicy prawns with chorizo from the Airfryer, rendang from the pressure cooker, spicy Korean ramen with chicken or a fiery Thai curry. Quick, easy and the hotter, the better!

Taurus (21 April–21 May) – Comfort food and luxurious dishes

Taureans enjoy the good life and love food that is rich and satisfying. Creamy pastas, decadent desserts and the best steaks from the sizzling grill are high on your list. And you don’t casually wolf down your food; no, you savour every bite as if it were a five-star experience. Book an evening at Jondani in Amsterdam right away; they certainly know what to do with incredibly delicious dishes, whether or not they come with a luxurious twist. And you won’t be the first person to arrive for lunch and only stagger out the door after midnight.

Gemini (22 May–21 June) – Variety and surprises on the plate

You’re curious, sociable and quickly bored, so monotonous food isn’t for you. You love tapas, sushi and street food, the latter of course from cuisines all over the world, as long as there’s variety. Dim sum, a colourful poke bowl or a fusion dish? You’re there in a flash.

Cancer (22 June–22 July) – Homely and nostalgic dishes

You have a soft spot for comfort food, preferably made according to your grandmother’s recipes. Grandma Agnes’s Surinamese coconut soup, Grandma Ditje’s chicory soup, beef blade and a classic stamppot give you the ultimate feeling of home. Delicious, and we can’t blame you!

Leo (23 July–23 August) – Theatrical dishes and extravagant flavours

As a Leo, you love luxury and drama – and the same goes for your food. You opt for extravagant dishes that make an impression. Think perfectly prepared lobster with béarnaise, a juicy tomahawk with a glass of whisky or golden chicken wings, a dessert with a generous splash of Grand Marnier; it’s all about the experience!

Virgo (24 August–23 September) – Healthy and refined dishes

You have an eye for detail and enjoy healthy, balanced meals. Fresh, organic ingredients, carefully sliced vegetables and a green goddess dressing – that’s your style. No over-the-top fuss, no excessive frills and no pinball machine of flavours on your plate. Instead, salads with superfoods, grilled fish and minimalist, flavourful dishes.

Libra (24 September–23 October) – Elegant and harmonious dishes

Your plate is just as stylish as your wardrobe. No eccentricity for you; you prefer balanced and beautiful dishes, such as the most beautiful patisserie, a perfect risotto or an artfully arranged board of Italian charcuterie. Add wine and candlelight – pure enjoyment.

Scorpio (24 October–22 November) – Intense dishes and mysterious ingredients

Deep, layered flavours and a touch of mystery on your plate… that already puts you 1–0 ahead. Trufflegin and tonic oysters – everything with an intense, sensual flavour. You’re not afraid to experiment at home either. Wine from Azerbaijan, unfamiliar ingredients, nothing is too crazy for you.

Sagittarius (31 November–21 December) – International dishes and adventurous flavours

No stamppot or yet another pasta bolognese; you have a preference for more exotic fare. Besides, you prefer dishes with a story. From Indian curries to Moroccan tagines and Korean bibimbap – the more international, the better. You’re always looking for new flavours and love taking your friends on a culinary journey of discovery – you probably know these hotspots before we do.

Capricorn (22 December–10 January) – Traditional and artisanal

No fuss, just honest flavours. You love solid, artisanal dishes that have already proven their worth. Think hearty split pea soup, a classic steak with fries or perfectly baked bread. Quality above all!
