Rank 2. Visaandeschelde
Seafood
Anchors on the tiles, scale patterns on the windows, and a blue-and-white palette that commits to the nautical bit without apology. This is a serious seafood restaurant where the kitchen stays close to classical tradition, meaning bisques with real depth, lobster cooked to a translucent finish, and fish that actually gets a moment to rest. Oysters, platters, tasting menus, a long à la carte; order the platter ahead or you'll wish you had.

Rank 3. John Dory
French Seafood
A canal-side French restaurant named after the fish, which sets the tone nicely. The team runs surprise tasting menus built around their enthusiasm for seafood, so surrendering the menu to the kitchen is the move here. The room is cozy and the service personal enough that the whole thing feels like dinner at a friend's place, provided that friend lives on the Prinsengracht and really knows their bisque.
