&samhoud places, Fine dining restaurant in Oosterdokseiland, Netherlands.
Samhoud Places is a restaurant on Oosterdokseiland with two distinct levels offering different experiences. The lower floor holds a lounge with a cocktail bar, while upstairs a dining room seats about 50 guests with views of Amsterdam.
Chef Moshik Roth and entrepreneur Salem Samhoud founded the restaurant in 2012, building on Roth's earlier success with 't Brouwerskolkje in Overveen. This marked the start of a new culinary approach in the Oosterdokseiland neighborhood.
The name honors Salem Samhoud, a Dutch entrepreneur whose vision shaped the restaurant's identity. The kitchen blends Israeli influences with Dutch ingredients and techniques, reflecting how different food traditions meet in Amsterdam.
The restaurant is open Tuesday through Saturday, serving both lunch and dinner except Saturdays when only dinner is offered. Visitors should note that opening times vary by day of the week and reservations are recommended.
Diners can watch the kitchen team work through an open glass window while looking out over the city below. This direct connection between kitchen and dining space gives the meal a different character.
