My lists of “Best Amsterdam Restaurants”, “Best Amsterdam Pizza” and “Best Amsterdam Terraces” are very popular. And since people often ask me for recommendations of typical local cuisine, I put together a list of “Best Authentic Dutch Restaurants” in Amsterdam.
I was a little torn about this list since, frankly, I am unimpressed about Dutch cuisine and there are better, non local food options in Amsterdam. But of course there is good authentic Dutch food in Amsterdam and I want to help you find the best pancakes, rijsttafel or French fries.
The list is broad, ranging from French fries on the street to high-end dining and from regional farmer’s fare from North Holland to exotic rijsttafels from Indonesia. Please check out dutchgrub’s “Best Authentic Dutch Restaurants” in Amsterdam and tell us about your Dutch food experiences in the comments!
I remember arriving in Nedederland at sixteen, decades ago, and being brought to “Port van Cleve” specifically for the mushroom soup. I have never forgotten it. I am enjoying this site and try to get to Nederland somewhat frequently.
Hi Dianemarie,
So glad to hear our site brings back some great childhood memories. Hope you’ll make it to Amsterdam soon again and hope we can help you discover another unforgettable food experience!
