THE DUCHESS

DE HERTOGIN opened in Amsterdam in 2015, housed in the former KAS Bank building within the W Hotel. Inspired by the Belle Époque, the restaurant blends the grandeur of royal history with modern comfort, combining Viennese elegance with traditional London hospitality. The location is recognized as one of the city's best-preserved historical gems. The culinary focus is on Nouveau-Niçoise Cuisine, featuring refined flavors from the South of France and Italy. A custom-made Molteni kitchen serves as a dramatic centerpiece where chefs prepare complex yet simple dishes. Menu highlights include Fruits de Mer platters, spit-roasted and grilled specialties, and homemade ice cream sundaes, prepared on-site. The bar program brings the spirit of historical cocktail culture to life at a majestic marble bar, offering punches and creative variations on French and Savoy apéritifs inspired by the 1920s and 1930s. An elegant tea salon complements the experience with exclusive Mariage Frères tea, champagne, and an afternoon tea service featuring delicate sweets, macarons, éclairs, truffles, and cotton candy, evoking an Alice in Wonderland atmosphere.
