We recently shared our blog about the A’DAM LOOKOUT, at the top of the A’DAM Tower. There is something else special located at the top of this tower, namely Restaurant Moon. That’s not just any restaurant, it’s a revolving restaurant with the most beautiful 360 degree views of Amsterdam.
It is a chic restaurant and although there is no formal dress code, it is advisable to think about your choice of clothing. Smart casual is a good starting point.
This blog was written by travel writer and Traveltomtom team member Ashley. She was invited to dine at Restaurant Moon on behalf of Traveltomtom and wrote this blog about her experiences.
Dining at great heights
Restaurant Moon is located on the 19th floor of the iconic A’DAM Tower. Due to this location, it offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city of Amsterdam.
While you slowly rotate and enjoy 360-degree views, you also enjoy very refined dishes that are at least as impressive as the view. Because you are constantly turning around, at a slow pace, you have an always changing view. It makes this experience extra fun and interesting.
Menu
At Restaurant Moon they don’t have a fixed menu but the culinary experience is always a surprise. They believe in the power of change and the joy of the unexpected. That’s exactly why they change their menu regularly. This also ensures that they continuously serve the best seasonal products.
Their passionate chefs prepare an extensive 5 or 6-course menu. Each dish is carefully composed to take the guest on a tasteful journey, where the season is central. The surprise and diversity of the dishes are designed to inspire the guests. Of course, if you have special dietary requirements or allergies, you can simply let them know in advance.
If you prefer to get an idea of the dishes in advance, you can always send Restaurant Moon an email. But it is really nice to be surprised!
You can choose between a five or six course dinner. The five course dinner costs €83 EUR ($90 USD) and the six course dinner costs €99 EUR ($110 USD). The prices mentioned are per person.

Wine and Tea pairing
Like every good restaurant, Moon also has a unique wine pairing for their exclusive dinners. Unique and delicious wines that are perfectly matched with the dishes you are served.
Besides the wine pairing they also have a special tea pairing. Because we don’t drink wine we chose this tea pairing.Who needs wine when you can have a tea pairing that’s just as fancy. They serve perfectly brewed teas that go extremely well with every dish, keeping you dry without compromising on taste.
