SAMSUNG & RESTAURANT EUROPA LAUNCH FINE DINING SERIES “CUTTING EDGE”
From June 10 to July 3, Samsung and Restaurant Europa in Amsterdam present CUTTING EDGE, a lunch and dinner series that is just as refined, streamlined, and innovative as the brand-new Galaxy S25 Edge.
With only a limited number of seats per day, the reputation of one of Amsterdam’s most sought-after dining spots, and the rare opportunity to blend high-end fine dining with cutting-edge technology, reservations are essential.
What Restaurant Europa means to the Amsterdam food scene, the Galaxy S25 Edge means to the tech world: forward-thinking, precise, and designed for the future. CUTTING EDGE brings those two worlds together in a culinary experience where innovation drives every detail, from the food on the plate to the phone in your hand.
We could talk about the specs. The weight, the precision, the finish of the Galaxy S25 Edge. But let’s be honest, does that really help you understand what it's like to hold and use it? Probably not. Some things you only understand by experiencing them.
That’s why Samsung and Restaurant Europa created CUTTING EDGE, a dining series where food and tech meet. No classic tables or chairs here. Instead, guests sit at a 25-meter turquoise bar with sharp contours and a direct view into the open kitchen. Chef Rein op ’t Root and his team prepare, plate, and serve right in front of you. The boundary between kitchen and guest disappears completely. You are not just a diner, you are part of the entire experience. A culinary journey that starts with preparation and ends with a small piece of art on your plate.
For the first time, Restaurant Europa steps into fine dining with a subtle Korean influence, inspired by the aesthetic and precision of the Galaxy S25 Edge. Every detail is designed to seamlessly blend technology, design, and gastronomy into a multi-sensory experience that surprises, stimulates, and stays with you.
Chef Rein op ’t Root has created a 10-course menu focused on minimalism, precision, and expression. Each dish is inspired by the ultra-slim design and streamlined feel of the Galaxy S25 Edge. His love for Korean cuisine also finds its way into the menu. Expect whisper-thin textures, surprising flavor combinations, subtle fermentation, crunchy elements, and beautiful compositions that push the limits of the plate. Want to know which wine matches each dish? Use the Galaxy S25 Edge, ask Gemini AI, and you’ll get a pairing suggestion tailored to your taste, ready to pass on to the staff. Smart, personal, and delicious.
From a chilled asparagus bouillon with jasmine oil to langoustine with elderflower and blackcurrant branch dressing, every detail is carefully considered. The turquoise bar is designed with the same elegance as the phone itself. In this one-of-a-kind series, the lines between technology and gastronomy blur completely. While Samsung reimagines the smartphone as a lifestyle object, Europa offers a dining experience that is bold, refined, and unforgettable.
Curious about the latest smartphone innovation? Here’s a bonus. The Galaxy S25 Edge is right there on the table with you. Capture the best moments of your evening with its high-performance camera. Take crisp food shots and aesthetic videos of each dish. Try out its intuitive tools like Generative Photo Edit, Circle to Search, or Google Gemini Live. Samsung’s intelligent AI assistant is there to help you throughout the experience. Who says tech doesn’t belong at the table?
