Vossius was a restaurant located in Amsterdam, Netherlands, operating between 2001 and 2003. This fine dining venue earned a prestigious Michelin star for the years 2002 and 2003.

The establishment was jointly owned by head chef Rob Kranenborg, maître d'hôtel John Vincke (1955–2007), and R. van Kampen. Vossius aimed for the highest culinary distinction, aspiring to achieve three Michelin stars. Significant investments were made in luxury elements, such as a specially crafted Molteni stove and ceilings adorned with gold leaf.

Although positioned as a high-end restaurant with exceptional quality, Vossius filed for bankruptcy after just two years, ceasing operations in 2003. The economic downturn played a major role in undermining its sustainability, ultimately resulting in its closure.
