Rank 1. NEV
Modern Turkish
An all-Turkish wine list is a statement of intent, and the food at this warm Eindhoven restaurant backs it up. The chef draws on regional Turkish cooking but lets herself have fun with it, sending out dishes that feel rooted and inventive at once. Grab a downstairs table if you want to watch the kitchen work. The Michelin Guide has awarded it a Bib Gourmand, and the à la carte and surprise menu formats give you options for how deep to go.

Rank 2. Eethuis Sinbad
Turkish
The kapsalon, a dish with a genuinely tangled origin story, is the whole reason to be here: fries buried under döner meat, a slice of Dutch cheese, and a ladle of garlic sauce and sambal. Sinbad is a casual counter spot in Oosterpark, and the veal döner version is the classic order, though the chicken has its own following. Load up from the self-service sauces, then watch a broad cross section of Amsterdam cycle through the door while you eat.
