With just sixteen seats wrapped around the open kitchen 212 makes the most of a corner canal house where Richard van Oostenbrugge and Thomas Groot have maintained 2 Michelin Stars since 2022.

Dressed in light wood and grey materials a meal begins with organic presentations of canapes such as grissini in a field of wheat or crab cocktail from a claw before the signature Belper Knolle cheese and grey shrimp inside a crispy Sunchoke shell.

Served straight from the kitchen, with each course commanding a complimentary bread, Broccoli finds unlikely friends in Caviar and O-Toro while King Crab wrapped in Squash Blossoms dances atop Vanilla and Peppers.

Soundtracked by everything from The Clash to Gorillaz staff shows a lot of personality from start to finish, when Bass comes with crispy scales and Oyster liqueur before Sweetbreads under a crunchy Cruton gain impact from four impressions of Sardines.

Bridging to dessert with an interesting Ice Cream of Chocolate and Bleu Cheese most tables will choose to finish with 212’s signature Apple Tart with assertive notes of Ginger under edible “glass” followed by a Canele as good those in France.
