Taiko Cuisine

Taiko is the Conservatorium Hotel's leading restaurant. Named after ancient Japanese drums said to beat with a mythic rhythm, Taiko is situated in the former percussion classroom of the conservatorium music school. The restaurant serves a wide variety of Asian inspired dishes, from beautifully crafted sushi and fresh sashimi of the highest quality, to unique signature dishes like black cod with green miso and see vegetables, and a green vegetable curry with ginkgo nut and lime risotini. Our Executive Chef Schilo van Coevorden has worked extensively around Asia, feeding a passion that has continued to grow to this day. Returning to Amsterdam, he long dreamed of marrying his love of the Asian cuisine with local, seasonal produce to create a whole new concept. Taiko is the realization of this concept where Schilo combines all the skills, ingredients and flavours he has discovered in the Far East with the best of our local Dutch offerings. The menu is designed for shared dining, with dishes that are placed in the middle of the table and can easily be shared amongst groups.
