Professional, bespoke and friendly service

Meet the Chef

Renaud Goigoux grew up in Clermont-Ferrand, France. From a young age, he started cooking and developed a deep passion for the world of hotels and restaurants. After gaining international experience in countries including Australia, the Philippines and Switzerland, he settled in Amsterdam in 2014.

He worked in the kitchens of restaurant Daalder and then became sous-chef under Guillaume de Beer and Freek van Noordwijk at restaurant Breda. In 2017, Joris Bijdendijk gave him the opportunity to become sous-chef at the Michelin-starred Rijks*, where he discovered the Dutch terroir and the refined gastronomy that are now an inseparable part of his identity. In June 2023, the Van der Meer family entrusted him with Senses, where he is now developing his own unique signature style.

A kitchen team with ambition

The vision of senses

The chef’s kitchen is ever-evolving, driven by seasonality, color and a deep curiosity for ingredients. At its core are refined techniques, classic French sauces, precise cooking and a careful balance of flavors: all complemented by Japanese influences and a predominantly plant-based approach.

We offer a tasting menu featuring fish and seafood from the North Sea, as well as a fully plant-based tasting menu. Additionally, we also offer an à la carte menu.

ALLERGIES

At Senses, we work from a plant-based basis, our dishes are 80% vegan, elegantly complemented with fish, shellfish and crustaceans. This approach allows us to easily accommodate various dietary preferences and allergies, such as lactose-free, gluten-free, vegetarian, or fully vegan.

Our kitchen is flexible and creative, ensuring everyone can enjoy a tailor-made culinary experience.
Please note: due to the use of soy products in our preparations, we unfortunately cannot accommodate a soy allergy.

Let us know your dietary needs when making your reservation and we’ll ensure a carefree and flavorful dining experience.
