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.
Toscanini has been Amsterdam's reference Italian since 1985, a Jordaan room running its own bread, its own pasta, and a list weighted toward small producers.
OrderWhatever the pasta of the day is; the bread basket is also their own bake.
TipReserve two weeks out for weekends. The room is loud, in the best Italian-trattoria sense.
nNea is the Amsterdam pizzeria placed seventh on the 2025 50 Top Pizza Europe list, Vincenzo Onnembo running a two-day Neapolitan dough in Oud-West.
OrderThe seasonal special with whatever San Marzano tomato is fresh that week.
TipWalk-ups eat at the counter on the early shift; the dining room takes online bookings via their site.

De Goudfazant runs a 1,200 sqm former warehouse in Amsterdam-Noord; the four-course menu changes daily, the wine list leans natural, the room is unbookable.
OrderThe full four-course menu; the kitchen plans for the room.
TipTake the free NDSM or Buiksloterweg ferry from Centraal. Booking opens online, often books a week ahead.
Warung Spang Makandra has been the De Pijp Surinamese reference since 1978: roti you assemble yourself, saoto soup, almost nothing on the menu over 15 euros.
OrderRoti kip with the dahl and a side of the bean stew.
TipWalk-in only. Order at the counter, sit upstairs. A second Spang Makandra branch in Nieuw West takes the overflow.
