Best Restaurants in Amsterdam
A curated guide to the best restaurants in Amsterdam — from iconic local institutions to under-the-radar spots worth crossing the city for.
Where to eat in Amsterdam
Rijsel
A former technical school turned into one of Amsterdam's best restaurants. The rotisserie chicken with béarnaise is the move — it's always packed, so book weeks ahead or queue at opening.
Bar Centraal
A buzzy wine bar near Centraal Station with incredible small plates. The burrata with grilled peach changes seasonally but is always outstanding. Great natural wine list too.
Café de Klos
Legendary no-frills rib joint in the Jordaan. The spare ribs are fall-off-the-bone perfect and stupidly cheap for Amsterdam. Cash only, no reservations — just queue and be patient.
Restaurant BAK
An intimate fine dining room in a converted warehouse on Houthavens. The tasting menu showcases Dutch ingredients you didn't know existed — think North Sea fish with fermented vegetables.
Foodhallen
A food hall in a converted tram depot with vendors covering everything from Vietnamese pho to Dutch bitterballen. The quality is genuinely high — try the Viet View banh mi and Yuzu ramen.
De Japanner
The best Japanese food in Amsterdam, hidden in De Pijp. Their omakase is exceptional and half the price of comparable spots in other European capitals. The uni handroll is ridiculously good.
