101 Gowrie

When we first met chef Alex Haupt we knew he was different than other chefs. A few months ago he finally opened up his own place in the Pijp area in Amsterdam South. What you find here when it comes to ingredients, combinations and taste is different than any other place in Amsterdam. He mixes real Dutch ingredients with Asian flavor

Does the chef seem familiar to you? You might have seen him in the Netflix series The Final Table.

We absolutely love his homemade bread, clean cooking and unique flavors.

Daalder Amsterdam

You can find this place right in the heart of the Jordan. Chef Dennis Huwaë and his team cook innovative and surprising dishes that make you crave for more.

Offers set 5-course menu for €69 or 7-course for €89 (on Fridays and Saturdays only 7-courses).

They have a signature dessert made out of a traditional Dutch treat: stroopwafel. Two sweet thin waffles with a cream of caramel in the middle. They’ve made an icecream out of this typical Dutch snack.

Jacobsz Amsterdam

This restaurant is situated in one of the most gorgeous buildings in Amsterdam East. The modern interior is a nice contrast to the historical elements but also suits it very well. Chef and owner Rick Swinkels and his team prepare beautiful dishes with beautiful flavors.

If you like bigger portions and value for money, you’ve come to the right place. Restaurant Jacobsz offers a great menu for a reasonable price. This place is just great for an evening out with great food in Amsterdam.

Cafe Remouillage

If you’re looking for a place to dine out in the Rivierenbuurt, try Cafe Remouillage. This friendly neighbourhood restaurant is cool without even trying. Owner and chef Jonathan spent some time in Asia and combines French cooking techniques with Asian style cooking. He calls it casual fan (the Chinese word for rice) dining.

Swing by for just a drink and something small to eat or stay the whole evening and try everything on the menu.

I love the minimalistic interior and I also love that they have a terrace where you can have your dinner.

Try the fish head. It’s their signature dish and it comes with lettuce and sauces. You wrap the fish in the greens and top in with the sauce. Really worth the try.

Entrepot

Clean and simple dishes in an industrial setting. Restaurant Entrepot is housed in an old warehouse and dining here is an unique experience. Also a great combination with a visit to the Amsterdam zoo Artis. This restaurant is just around the corner of the zoo in Amsterdam.

One course, two or more. It’s all up to you.

Insider’s tip, you can also have a drink at the bar and do some people watching.

Rijsel

This restaurant is all about ugly delicious. No Instagram worthy dishes or cress or flowers to brighten up the dishes. You’re more likely to find a chicken’s leg upright on the plate. Also no one did an effort to go shopping for cute china. And that is exactly what makes restaurant Rijsel fabulous. It is what it is. You eat what you see and it’s all soo good.

No set menu, eat as you like. Quite impossible to get in without a reservation. But you can call on the day itself to see if they have a cancellation.

Restaurant Rijsel is famous for their roasted chicken and huzaren salad. The latter one is an old fashioned salad you can find in most snackbars, but they upgraded it and it’s damn good. This restaurant is a real must try if you’re dining out in Amsterdam East.

Bar Alt

Bar Alt is the first restaurant in Amsterdam who introduced a beer sommelier and a beer and food pairing. They will make you look at having a beer at dinner in a totally new way. Sometimes they drive for days to some deserted beer brewery in Europe just to pick up a box of this golden stuff and they are happy to let you try why they love it so much.

And the food? It’s so good. The chef used to work at a Michelin restaurant and really knows how to bring out the best in every ingredient.

You’re likely to wander out of this place with an empty stomach since they have quite big portions.

212*

Awarded a Michelin star after being open for net even a year, restaurant 212 isn’t like any other restaurant in Amsterdam. Guests are set around the open kitchen at the bar and interaction between the kitchen team and the guests is one of the main reason they wanted to open this place.

Both á la carte and a menu are an option.

Try the langoustine with coffee. Chef and co-owner Richard van Oostenbrugge has been perfectioning this dish for years. He used to cook at restaurant Bord’Eau where he was given two Michelin stars. So you can expect some high level and complex dishes in this gorgeous restaurant.

Bord'Eau*

Try to get a table near the window, this will give you an amazing view over the canal. Chef Bas van Kranen cooks light dishes with complex flavors. He is also really good with veggies, so it’s perfect is you eat less meat or don’t like to eat meat at all. Be ready to be dazzled since the young chef really knows how to cook.

Both á la carte as a set menu are available.

The rose is their signature dessert. It’s a rose with rose petals made out of beetroot. It’s delicious and gorgeous at the same time.

Mos Amsterdam*

This place has an gorgeous view over the IJ. Chef and co-owner Egon can do magic with fish and his dishes look so pretty. A great restaurant to just sit back in the comfy green velvet chairs and enjoy.
