A culinary marathon · 2026 edition
Saturday 6 & Sunday 7 June 2026
18:00 — 18:00 · Restaurant Ciel Bleu, Hotel Okura Amsterdam
The concept
For 24 hours, without pause, the Netherlands' most celebrated chefs cook on the 23rd floor of Hotel Okura. Each session is its own six-course menu, composed by three chefs taking turns at the stove.
Every guest contributes directly to the Princess Máxima Centre and War Child. All proceeds, after costs, go straight to them.
"Seven sessions, forty-three dishes, one unforgettable 24 hours."
Book your table
Every session is different — different chefs, different dishes, different hour of the day. Choose the table that fits your evening, morning, or night.
Six chefs, six courses, one table
An exclusive three-hour culinary session. Three top chefs take turns; each course carried by a different master at the fire.
