Mparis184 Posted April 26, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Can anyone recommend a restaurant where the locals go to get good Dutch food in Amsterdam? I have Rick Steve's recommendations - has anyone selected any restaurants in Amsterdam from his books? If so how were the restaurants. What are your favorite restaurants in Amsterdam? Thanks, Marion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ine Posted April 26, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2014 As strange as this may sound, there are just a few restaurants with ""dutch"" food. Actually the dutch eat very international. But have a look at one of these: Restaurant De Roode Leeuw Damrak 93-94 Amsterdam Restaurant Spelt Nieuwe Spiegelstraat 5A Proeverij 274 Prinsengracht 274 Amsterdam Moeders Rozengracht 251 I am sure if you google them you will find reviews. Also remember Indonesia used to be a dutch colony, there fore you will find some good restaurants serving an indonesian rijsttafel. Bij ons Prinsengracht 287 Amsterdam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mparis184 Posted April 26, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thanks Ine for the recommendations. We might just stick to Dutch Pancakes for our Dutch gourmet food tasting. LOL Marion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eandj Posted April 27, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Don't ask me the name of the place, but we had one of the best hamburgers ever in Amsterdam!:D Truly is international. We had a very good appetizer plate at our hotel which included some of the local fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roysmith99 Posted May 4, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Not Dutch food but our favourite midday eatery is on the Singel, they also have another on the Leidsestraat. It's an English style cafe / restaurant with fabulous Dutch Apple pie and afternoon cream teas. For some reason the board will not let me name it? It consists of one word made from the colour Green and the plural for Wood. We do not go looking for English restaurants and really love the various Argentinian / Brazilian / Uruguayan Steak Houses and as Ine mentioned the Indonesian food is excellent.

Thanks, Marion Hi Marion, I was checking on the port of Southampton for our June cruise in the Ports area of Cruise Critic and recognized your name from our Asia roll call. I don't know if it is in the book you mentioned, but we have a very favorite restaurant in Amsterdam -- Haeje Claes. Excellent food, reasonable prices. Here's some contact info: Address: Spuistraat 273, Centrum, Amsterdam, 1012VR Phone: 020/624-9998 Website:www.haesjeclaes.nl Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mparis184 Posted May 12, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Thanks Carol - You are quite the traveler and I look forward to meeting you next year on Millie. I appreciate your wisdom! I will put Haeje Claes on our list of places to find in our travels around the city. I have our 4 day Amsterdam schedule pretty packed so lets see how many things on my list we can fit in. I know what will happen - we will find many quaint streets with little shops and markets..... I can get lost for hours and wonder where the day went. Oh the treasures waiting to be found. We leave next Wednesday and I can't wait. Are all the plans for your cruise in place? Marion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mparis184 Posted May 12, 2014 Author #14 Share Posted May 12, 2014 WOW Carol - that's quite an extensive menu. What do you recommend? I love those old buildings. Marion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clo6216 Posted May 13, 2014 #15 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Marion, we haven't been there in several years. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere very much, as have friends who have been there more recently. I can picture the restaurant clearly; however, I don't recall specific foods. We often ask which dishes represent the local cuisine when we travel. Enjoy! Carol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your suggestions. When we are out sightseeing we completely lose track of time and end up finding a restaurant when we get hungry and take pot luck We will see you on the Serenade next June and it will be here before we know it. Will you spend any pre cruise time in Copenhagen? Marion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
