11 editor picks in Amsterdam.
11 dutch places in Amsterdam we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Amsterdam | Dutch across every city.
Dutch cooking in Amsterdam covers both farm-to-table dining and the unfussy classics of the snackbar and pancake house. De Kas grows much of its own produce in greenhouses out east, and Wilde Zwijnen on the Javaplein cooks seasonal Dutch plates nearby, while Moeders in the Jordaan serves homestyle stamppot and Van Dobben near Rembrandtplein keeps the croquette tradition going.
Wilde Zwijnen in Amsterdam's Indische Buurt is the city's game-forward room, a tight seasonal menu built around what hunters bring in that week.
OrderWhatever the game of the season is; venison and pigeon both pass through.
TipThe 3-course set at the start of the week is the value play. Cash or card both fine.
De Kas grows its own vegetables in a 1926 municipal greenhouse in Frankendael Park and runs a daily-changing menu out the kitchen built inside the glasshouse.
OrderThere is no choice: the day's tasting menu, whatever has come in from the garden.
TipLunch is the value play. Trams 9 and 14 stop nearby; cycling is the local move.
Moeders on Rozengracht is the room for Dutch stamppot, erwtensoep and the other home-mother dishes, the walls covered in photos of mothers customers.
OrderThe stamppot of the week with rookworst sausage and braised pork.
TipBring a photo of your mother for the wall. Reservation strongly advised.
Kaasbar on Ferdinand Bolstraat runs an Amsterdam cheese-only menu: tasting flights of aged Gouda, raw-milk farmhouse, and a Sunday cheese fondue.
OrderThe five-cheese tasting flight, with a glass of jenever.
TipSmall room, books up at the weekend. The cheesemonger upstairs sells what you tasted to take home.
Upstairs Pancakes on Grimburgwal occupies an Amsterdam canal house dating to 1539, four tables of pancakes, teapots on the ceiling, since 1961.
OrderThe bacon and cheese pancake with apple, drowned in stroop.
TipCash-only; reservations by phone a week ahead. The stairs are steep, the room is tiny.
Moeders on Rozengracht is the Amsterdam stamppot room, walls lined with photos of mothers from customers, the menu a Dutch grandmother's repertoire.
OrderStamppot of the week with rookworst sausage.
TipBring a photo of your mother to add to the wall. Reservation advised.

OrderDutch pancakes with savoury and sweet toppings
Modern Dutch restaurant on Javaplein in Indische Buurt, set-menu format 3 to 5 courses from Dutch soil, game and sustainable fish, open kitchen, brick walls.

OrderKroket, frikandel, bitterballen from the wall
