Taiko Cuisine
A contemporary take on Asian-inspired cuisine, Taiko is an Amsterdam icon.
Cleverly situated in what was the drum classroom of the former music school, Taiko Cuisine is Schilo van Coevorden’s masterful approach to East-meets-West culinary delights. Seamlessly blending Asian dishes with the finest local ingredients, Taiko Cuisine turns every notion one might have around Asian-inspired eating on its head, interpreting favourites like Wagyu beef, sushi and more with considered twists. Experience flavours, aromas, and presentation like never before in one of Amsterdam’s favourite spots for dining.
