__NOTOC__ Vossius was a restaurant in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It was a fine dining restaurant that was awarded one Michelin star in 2002 and 2003.

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

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. Economical malaise was the final straw that killed of the restaurant.
