The story
Lazuur, at Purmerplein 8 in Amsterdam, is a Mediterranean restaurant that Gault&Millau scored 13.5 for 2026. The room sits in Amsterdam-Noord, and the menu moves between Portuguese roots and softer Mediterranean accents.
Chef and co-owner Sherif Khalil lets his Portuguese background show in several preparations. Gault&Millau notes the subtle Mediterranean touches across the menu and singles out one dish for its presentation and deep flavors. Lazuur also appears in the Michelin Recommended list for 2026.
Recent listings include mussels with chorizo, tomato and rock chives, and bacalhau com natas, a cod dish with potato, autumn truffle and bergamot. Gnocchi comes with wild mushrooms, chestnut and sherry, while dessert pairs fig leaf ice cream with figs and chocolate. The wine list leans Portuguese, and port is poured by the glass.
