We love Dutch cuisine, and there are many lovely dishes to discover. Here are some of our favourite restaurants in Amsterdam that do delicious Dutch food classics. It’s not all bitterballen and fried food. Much of it is hearty, healthy and tasty food. Have you tried their haring or a stamppot? Choose the haché; it is delicious. You may think it is not for you, but please think again. Once you explore all the delicious Dutch dishes, you may well change your mind. We did, and we are now actively trying to discover more and more Dutch restaurants in Amsterdam. Get in the habit, as there is much more to it than meets the eye!
You might look at Dutch dishes and think of winter. Lots of meat and sausages and a heavy dose of potatoes. And don’t forget the sauces! Yes, these are perfect wintertime dishes. And yet, the Dutch enjoy their national dishes all year long. In the past, it was all local ingredients, and people working in agriculture needed a good solid meal to work hard. Over the years and due to foreign influences, Dutch food evolved and changed. Modern food trends perhaps mean that the current young generation has a diet very different from that of their parents and grandparents. That said, a traditional Dutch menu is still a family pleaser. So so and try Dutch restaurants in Amsterdam. It’s not just for tourists! There is nothing we love more than finding more Dutch restaurants in Amsterdam and discovering a new dish.
The Pantry Dutch Restaurant is a little slice of Dutch history and cuisine just a 1 minute walk from the Leidseplein. Traditional Dutch cuisine is rich, hearty and flavoursome. At The Pantry you can choose from a wide selection of delicious dishes and desserts. Not only will you experience the traditional Dutch cooking, you will eat in a uniquely historical Dutch atmosphere that you will never forget. As we reopen in these times, you will need to reserve ahead of your visit.
