We are off to Amsterdam for our silver wedding next week and was wondering if anyone can recommend any decent restaurants?
Thanks in advance.
What kind of nosh do you like?
We had a very nice meal here a few years back
Traditional Dutch apparently although most people say that Dutch food is a bit of a mish mash like we have over here. This is more hearty but I really enjoyed it
Can thoroughly recommend Harmsen in Utrechtstraat, small, nice ambience, great food, reasonably priced. Gollem Craft Beer pub beforehand for a few drinks. Envious!
BTW - Same age group as you if that helps!
Thanks guys, I'll check them out.
globalti, too obvious dude but nice try... 😉
What kind of nosh do you like?
When in Amsterdam any type of nosh will do !
Mcdonalds will do specially if you’re trying the local herbs 🌿
Be prepared for a long wait - the Dutch concept of restaurant service is not conducive to being hungry.
Cafe bern (if it’s still there)
neiuwmarkt I think (it’s been a while!)
fondue... absolutely brilliant.
I remember having to book quite a while in advance!
Yep, just find anywhere that offers fondue (it’s not all cheese, prepare to be surprised) and get down to business..
If you like Indonesian, Kantjil en de Tijger is easy to find, by a tram stop: we enjoyed it as did a friend who went there recently. It should be easy to find other Indonesian places; pancakes are a speciality in the Netherlands - both big, meal sized ones and poffertjes (little pillows). Beware that the Dutch appear to have a sweet tooth - I ordered a (non-hash) brownie for a late breakfast and it came hidden under a pile of icing sugar.
We also enjoyed Restaurant Greetje but the rice platter at https://restaurantblauw.nl/en/amsterdam/ really was memorable.
If you want something different this is the best veggie restaurant I have ever been to. Very small, very limited menu but came away delighted. Stumbled on it by chance in April when we took my 93 year old mum for a long weekend. We were in a Air B&B and it was the closest place. We had to go because her name is Betty. Not cheap €50 each at least dependent on booze but a great experience and I'm a real carnivore. Not central either but I'll be back there without a doubt.

If this link works then it should go to a Google Maps with Le Pub marked.
Been a few years since I was there - [url= http://www.lepub.nl/ ]Le Pub[/url] - but I'm planning a return day visit just to go to that eatery and have a few servings of the soup! Assuming this link works, then it should go to the website of Le Pub.
Edit - the links do work, just not obvious as links in the post - both links are the words Le Pub.
As piranha says , Indonesian is brill there due to the joys of post colonianism .Order a rice plate [ either meat or veggie ] a fantastic eating experience
Febo
Banana Bar, lots of inventive ways to use a Banana...
globalti, too obvious dude but nice try…
I don't understand that. I merely asked what kind of food you like to eat! There's so much choice in a cosmopolitan city like Amsterdam.
Vell, de choices are ham, or ham mit cheese tostie. Vot do you like?
Well there are a number of mistakes there:
"mit" is German not Dutch
Dutch people speak English with little accent
There is never so much choice.
"sense of humour for table 6 please"
Dutch people speak English with no accent? Lol. How stoned were you? If you had ever spoken to someone from the Netherlands you would know you're way off the mark with that comment!
