Resident Amsterdammer here.
What in particular are you looking for in terms of food?
Can recommend a few places:
Splurge:
- The Dutchess: an elegant if a bit gaudy Michelin-starred restaurant, reasonably priced for what it is.
- Gowrie 101: fine experimental dining with a Japanese twist.
- Yamazato: Michelin-starred Japanese cuisine.
- Ron’s Gastrobar: owned by a famous name in the Dutch dining scene, fun experimental fine-dining, pricey.
Asian:
- Blauw: a well-regarded Indonesian restaurant from the same guy behind Ron’s Gastro.
- Ron’s Gastro Oriental: also from the Ron’s family. High-end Asian fusion.
- A-Fusion: similar to Ron’s oriental but a little bit less pricey.
- Sea Palace: excellent Dim Sum in a floating pagoda with great views, next to Centraal Station.
- Oriental City: also excellent Dim Sum located on Dam Straat cutting through the heart of the Old town (RLD)
- China Sichuan: several locations, mostly around the RLD, excellent Szechuan cuisine, they used to have a Michelin star back in the day.
- FULU: another great restaurant specializing in Szechuan style cuisine.
- Ramen Kingdom: amazing ramen, but TikTok and IG influencers have blown it up and there’s always an absurdly long line.
Italian-style Pizza:
- Pazzi
- Mozzico
Surinamese:
- Tjin’s Toko
- Roopram Roti
Mexican & LatAm:
- Bacalar: generally decent and friendly priced Mexican is more readily available in the US, but this place does some great “high-level” tacos also nice cocktails and Mezcal selection.
- Coba: similar to Bacalar
- Salmuera: Argentinian/Latin American fusion, main emphasis Argentina empanadas and meats + Peruvian style ceviche, good cocktails.
Drinks:
- Sins of Sal: owned by Salmuera crew, a Latin inspired cocktail bar that serves some very delicious Mexican inspired fare - mainly tacos and tostadas.
- Tales & Spirits: probably my favorite cocktail bar in town.
- Luminair: a rooftop cocktail bar on the top of the Double Tree Hilton - next to Centraal. Cool concept, amazing views of the city, cocktails aren’t cheap though.
- Brouwerij ‘t IJ: the so-called “windmill brewery” established local craft brewer with a brewpub right next to a historic windmill.
