Where to eat Dutch food in Amsterdam: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Find out what Dutch restaurants to try in Amsterdam. Charming, compact and charged with a zestful energy usually associated with cities ten times its size, open-minded Amsterdam delights with well known worldly pleasures tempered with down to earth Dutch sensibility. Radiating along a picturesque series of canals, the city seems to float dreamily and of its own accord at the lowland edge of Europe, welcoming fans of fine art, cutting edge fashion, or a raucous night out, with equal regard for all.

We had a wonderful meal at Jaspers. Itâs a friendly place featuring continental haute cuisine and an extensive wine list. Definitely one of the top 5 restaurants in Amsterdam. We had great fish, asparagus soup and desert dishes. Service was very attentive. Each dish presented in our 4 course dinner was accompanied by a discussion of the ingredients.

We came across this place when looking for somewhere cheap and casual to eat. The food and drinks were very reasonably priced and the quality was great. I had the Tuna Salad on Toast which was divine with a glass of wine, which was only 3.90 Euro. This was the cheapest glass of wine I had in Amsterdam. I will definitely return here next time I'm in Amsterdam.Hey liz, Thanks for the review! Happy to hear you thought the price-quality combination was good for you guys.Hope to see you again soon!groetjes, broer

Decent chicken on the street. Good but nothing to rave about really. When we visited for lunch, the guys working the stall were swamped. It was impossible to tell where to order, where to pick up; not a single sign. When we finally managed to get close enough to ask one of the guys âwhere is the end of the queueâ, he just threw his hands up in the air meaning he is clueless. We finally wrestled to the other end of the stall to order our food and managed to pick it up. We even found a spot at one of the picnic tables next to the stall. The spicy chicken was good but the drumsticks and wings were just ok. From the side of the stall I asked for some napkins and did not get a response. Then I was scolded for asking for napkins at such a busy time.One of the food price labels read âTripadvisor famous chickenâ.... Well, we certainly thought the fame was just hype. Overall, we had a very negative experience.

Spectrum is an internationally dynamic kitchen with proud Dutch heritage. Chef Sidney Schutte and Restaurant Manager Sascha Speckemeier have the ambition of bring joy, goosebumps and a stillness in time which comes from the sheer appreciation of flavors.

Had dinner in Spectrum last week with 2 colleagues. The restaurant, located inside of Waldorf Astoria hotel, is beautiful and has good atmosphere. We had the 12 course dinner which took about 4 hours (you can choose less courses). Service was impeccable. The waiters answered instantly any question I had about the food and were super attentive. Food was one of the best I had in a Michelin star restaurant and certainly the best I had in Amsterdam.This place is HIGHLY recommended and I will return there soon.

Through 40+ years of travel and adventures this counts as one of our most memorable meals. Both the food and the wines were truly outstanding, and the specific pairings elevated both to an exceedingly delicious experience. The small space is intimate but lively. The host, Hans, went out of his way to make sure everyone had a terrific experience, talking about each wine and the food to go with it. For us the evening just got better and better as we were made to feel as though we were regulars and that we belonged there even though this was a first visit. We knew nothing about the restaurant; it's in the neighborhood where we stayed and I happened to meet the host at the door when I was checking out the window menu. After a several-minute chat with him I felt that this could be a special experience, so reserved a table for that night. It exceeded our expectations! The next time we are in Amsterdam this will be the most important meal that we reserve!Dear Frank, it was a great pleasure having you as a quest. Thank you for your kind words in the review. I will share those with my team. Best regards, Hans.

For an experience with a true Amsterdam icon and legendary food encounter do not pass up this eatery. Worth searching for, but not that difficult to find. Rob has been at this location for 40 years and deserves the reputation he enjoys for amazing seafood and fish choices. A cordial fun loving host, owner, and ambassador for all of the Netherlands. And like he says, if you donât have the pickled herring, why are you here at all ?

The 'olde worlde' decor creates a charming ambience in a traditional Dutch setting, that's pleasant at lunchtime and likely even more delightful and cosy at night.The menu is wide ranging with both traditional and more contemporary choices with both light meals or the full three course a la carte options.The bar is pretty well full service and it's nice to find delicious alternative beers like Texel instead of the omnipresent Heineken!Service is friendly, helpful and polite with menus in both English and Dutch.Prices are very reasonable and reflect good value.Overall a very enjoyable place to meet up with friends for lunch or dinner, or even a snack and a beer on your own!Goedendag, Hartelijk dank voor uw leuke beoordeling. Wij hopen dat u ons nog eens bezoekt in cafe Sonneveld.
