Amsterdam food tour

Our Amsterdam food tour takes you through the Jordaan, one of the city's most picturesque canal neighborhoods, past brown cafés (bruine kroegen) serving local jenever (Dutch gin), and into hidden spots where the legacy of the Dutch Golden Age and the VOC spice trade still flavors every dish. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, Amsterdam's culinary scene — from Surinamese roti to Indonesian rijsttafel — will surprise and delight you at every turn.

The tour typically lasts between 3 to 4 hours, offering a relaxed and leisurely experience as we wander through the charming streets of Amsterdam. The duration depends on the route, but there’s always plenty of time to savor the food, soak in the city’s atmosphere, and dive into the rich stories behind the dishes. Whether you’re strolling through local neighborhoods or stopping at hidden gems, it’s the perfect pace to enjoy all the flavors Amsterdam has to offer.

On our Amsterdam Food Tour, you'll taste a variety of traditional Dutch and Surinamese-influenced dishes, including crispy kibbeling (battered cod), haring (raw herring), and the beloved broodje kroket (croquette sandwich). You'll also enjoy iconic Dutch street food like bitterballen, stroopwafels, Dutch apple pie, and a selection of aged Gouda cheese from a traditional kaaswinkel. We'll pass through the Jordaan neighborhood and De Pijp market area, where Amsterdam's multicultural immigrant heritage — from Surinamese and Indonesian influences rooted in the Dutch colonial spice trade — comes alive in every bite. Our menu is adjusted seasonally to ensure we're always serving the freshest flavors, and vegetarian options are available upon request.
