Our Chef: Dennis Huwaë
The culinary inspirator and chef of TOBACCO is Dennis Huwaë. Dennis lead kitchens with 2 Michelin **. “There he developed his flawless feeling for the very best gastronomy,” says GaultMillau, who proclaimed him ‘Talented Chef of the Year’. In 2020 Huwaë joined ‘Les Patrons Cuisiniers’ and was again nominated for ‘The Best Chef Awards’. Dennis Huwaë is owner and chef of Restaurant Daalder and the driving force behind the kitchen team of TOBACCO. We are proud of our absolute top chef!
In March 2021, our Chef Dennis Huwaë’s restaurant Daalder received a Michelin star. TOBACCO Amsterdam is the first event location with a Michelin chef.
For Huwaë, creating a dish is a quest for the perfect combination of ingredients. He works with the ingredients and lets them strengthen and complement each other. He draws his inspiration from ‘street food’ from all over the world. The base for Huwaë lies in classical techniques. He translates those techniques in his head into his own signature. TOBACCO is incredibly lucky with top chef with Dennis Huwaë.
He goes so far to strive for perfection in the creation of a new dish that he – in his own words – searches for ‘the inner beauty’ of each ingredient. This is how he brings out the best of each ingredient.
“Let nature do it’s work. Choose beautiful products and treat them with love and respect. In the end it’s all about love for the product and the time you put into creating your dishes ”- Dennis Huwaë.
Earlier we welcomed top chefs at TOBACCO from Spain, France, but also Ron Blaauw, Herman den Blijker and Robert Kranenborg. Kranenborg complimented us on Dennis Huwaë, the absolute top. “That suits your beautiful and fresh company, completely contemporary!” said Kranenborg.
Chef Huwaë will always leave his mark on his dishes. Also when it comes to a simple lunch or a simple dinner. A sandwich or Caesar salad from Huwaë will undeniably carry his signature. The ‘real work’ of our top chef can of course be found in his sophisticated signature menu as he also serves at Daalder. In it you recognize the hand of a real master.
At TOBACCOyou can now also choose a signature breakfast, lunch or dinner from top chef Dennis Huwaë.
Dinner / Walking Dinner / Foodstations
Maximum of 240 guests for a sit-down dinner
In our dinner setup we often use round tables. Of course a rectangular table arrangement is also possible. Starting from the round tables, we generally assume an arrangement of 8 to 10 chairs around the table.
From an intimate dinner for 10 people to a sit-down dinner for a maximum of 240 people. In addition, a walking dinner or food stations for up to 600 guests are also an option, we provide an unforgettable culinary masterpiece.

If you want to use your own caterer or if you want to introduce your customer to our theater as a caterer, that is possible. View the specifications of our catering kitchen in the drop-down menu below.
Previously, we received top chefs from Belgium, France and Spain at TOBACCO, but Dutch top chefs such as Ron Blaauw, Herman den Blijker and Robert Kranenborg were also guests in TOBACCO.
