Scheepskameel

​Scheepskameel is a bright and spacious restaurant with an open kitchen. It is housed in an old building overlooking the water, on the former Navy premises in the centre of Amsterdam. Great hospitality and good produce are the core elements at Scheepskameel, and the dishes are simple and pure. I love to come here because this is an informal, no-nonsense restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere and a huge German wine selection.

​​Scheepskameel offers an extraordinary wine list, purely focused on German wines. You'll find over 200 references on the list, and every well-know German producer is included, which is unique in the Netherlands.

You’ll be surprised by all the grape varieties on the list. For sure, Riesling and Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) is the majority, but what about Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Lemberger (Blaufränkisch) and even Tempranillo?
