Restaurant Wils
Move Amsterdam is home to Wils, the restaurant of chef Joris Bijdendijk.
His ode to 'fire', the primal force of all cuisines, earned him a Michelin star just one year after opening. When the weather allows, you can sit on the roof terrace, with a beautiful view of the Olympic Stadium. Definitely a must try.

The Building
Move Amsterdam — The building was designed by Jan Wils, also the designer of the nearby Olympic Stadium
Architect Jan Wils designed the building of Move Amsterdam in 1931. He was also the mastermind behind the architecture of the Olympic Stadium and ensured that the Olympic Fire made its reappearance at the 1928 Olympic Games.
Jan Wils, like Piet Mondriaan and Gerrit Rietveld, was part of De Stijl. This Dutch art movement wanted to return to the essence. Only what, according to them, was really necessary was used. Abstract forms, straight lines and bright colors were central to this. The harmony can be recognized in the design of Move Amsterdam and his name is honored in Wils restaurant.
