About
Dutch Dinner is a restaurant in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, offering a chance to sit down to the country's own cooking. It suits visitors who want to taste local food rather than browse for it, whether over a relaxed meal or a longer evening out.
What to order
The menu draws on Dutch specialties. Two classics to look for are:
- Bitterballen, small crisp-fried balls with a creamy, savoury filling, usually served with mustard and a glass of beer.
- Herring, a traditional Dutch fish, often eaten as a light starter or snack.
These dishes make an easy introduction to the country's everyday flavours, and they pair well with an unhurried pace.
The setting
The restaurant offers a traditional Dutch style of dining, and the menu can also be approached in a more upscale way at one of the canal-side dining spots in the city. That range means you can choose between a casual, homely meal and something more special, depending on the evening you want.
Planning a visit
Amsterdam's canals, old streets and museums are all close by, so a meal here fits easily into a day of sightseeing. Dining after a walk along the water is a natural way to round off the afternoon or evening. Check the restaurant's own details before you go, as opening times and prices may change.
