The Best Food in Amsterdam Isn't Even Dutch

If you think Amsterdam food is just stroopwafels, herring, FEBO, and bitterballen… think again. In this video, we’re taking you on an Amsterdam food tour that’s completely different from the typical tourist experience. As Americans living in Amsterdam for nearly a decade, we’ve discovered that some of the city’s best food doesn’t come from the Netherlands at all. Join us as we eat our way across Amsterdam, starting with an incredible Indonesian rijsttafel at Restaurant Blauw, a feast with deep historical ties to the Netherlands. Then we’re heading to Nnea, home to one of the best pizzas in the world, before grabbing legendary Surinamese roti from Roopram Roti. We also stop by Pendergast to see if authentic American barbecue can actually live up to the hype in Europe, and finish with our favorite French bakery, Le Fournil de Sébastien, for pastries that keep us coming back. If you’re planning a trip and searching for the best food in Amsterdam, the best restaurants in Amsterdam, or an Amsterdam food tour that goes beyond the usual tourist spots, this guide is for you. These are the places we genuinely recommend after years of living in the city. Whether you’re visiting Amsterdam for the first time or you’ve been here before, this food tour will show you a side of the city’s culinary scene that most tourists completely miss. Watch until the end to see which restaurant surprised us the most and which dishes we’d go back for again and again! Leave a comment below and tell us which restaurant or cuisine we should try next. If there’s an amazing spot we’ve missed, we want to hear about it.
