When you hear the word Rijks, your mind likely automatically heads to stunning still lifes & Dutch genre paintings. These days, though, there’s even more to it. Rijks is a wonderful fine dining restaurant at the base of the museum with bright young chef Joris Bijdendijk at the helm. The restaurant focuses on seasonal ingredients & makes heavy use of vegetables from their own garden.
