Vossius is a former restaurant in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It was a fine dining restaurant that was awarded one Michelin star in 2002 and 2003.[2]

Co-owners of the restaurant were head chef Rob Kranenborg, Maître d'hôtel John Vincke (1955-2007)[3] and R. van Kampen.[4]

Vossius was meant as a luxurious restaurant ready for chasing three Michelin stars. The owners used the best materials available, like a custom built Molteni stove and ceilings decorated with gold leaf. The project ended in bankruptcy after two years.[5][6][7][8] Economical malaise was the final straw that killed of the restaurant.[9]
