✨ A Carefully Crafted Dining Experience for Amsterdam by Chef Volkan Akdamar ✨
In 2025, my Bodrum-based restaurant Oi Filoi earned a coveted Michelin listing. Now, I am delighted to bring my refined culinary expertise to Amsterdam through Vulcanus Private Dining — an intimate journey of thoughtfully designed meals in private homes and handpicked venues.
I believe, every meal is more than a menu, it is a conversation. I like to listen and learn, crafting each experience inspired by your story and preferences. Seasonal, locally sourced ingredients form the cornerstone of my kitchen, though occasional rare finds add unexpected delights.
Sharing food is sharing moments, so I personally serve each dish, inviting dialogue and reflection. I cherish feedback as it shaps the evolving journey of my culinary artistry.
I would like to transform dining into an intimate, soulful connection — where flavor transcends presentation, and every bite resonates with meaning.
Please, join me for an unforgettable experience beyond the plate.
