Bennies

Occupying a sun-drenched industrial conversion in the Schinkel District, Bennies delivers a masterclass in contemporary European simplicity and seasonal integrity. The kitchen, led by Rick Swinkels, prioritizes precise techniques like BBQ-roasting and delicate curing to elevate regional Dutch products. Signature Iberico roast arrives charred over open flames, balanced by the nutty depth of tahini and a vibrant salsa macha. Aromas of wood-smoke and fermented miso drift from the open kitchen, while textures range from the snap of sea buckthorn berries to the velvet crumb of their renowned Amarena cherry cheesecake. Each plate is a confident, ingredient-led dialogue.
