Since 1988

Welcome to our Thai restaurant in the heart of Amsterdam

สวัสดี

Sawasdee, hello

Restaurant De Kooning van Siam is housed in a 17th-century warehouse on the Oudezijds Voorburgwal and spans two floors. In the middle of the "hot" Amsterdam neighbourhood it has been run since 1988 by owner Jan Derksen, assisted by the Asian kitchen brigade and head chef Peter de Jongh. The interior can fairly be called opulent, with plenty of Thai art, curiosities and kitsch. Yet "excess" is not the word, because the interior is tasteful and measured, which gives the restaurant a distinctly Thai atmosphere.

Heerlijk Thais in centrum Amsterdam

Geen uitgebreide kaart maar, wat erop staat is wel erg lekker.

Absolutely stunning

Located down a relatively quiet street for a Saturday night, this was an absolute find.

The coconut fish curry is absolutely amazing and is one of the best Thai dishes we have ever tasted.
