Description
Say goodbye to tourist traps and discover Amsterdam's real food culture on a self-guided street food tour. Discover the stories of local food heroes and enjoy exclusive deals and tastings at 8 family-owned businesses in the buzzing De Pijp neighborhood. Not every stop is open daily, but at least 6 will always be open.
Kick off your tour with a traditional Dutch croquette before discovering the flavors of Suriname at a beloved local eatery that's famous for Suriname's national dish, pom. Enjoy a tasty combo of pom (oven-baked root plant with chicken), long beans, rice, homemade pickles, and hot sauce.
Next up, taste the flavors of Israel with smoked beef brisket and chicken roulade served alongside Israeli pickle, olives, and bread with balsamic vinaigrette from a famed boutique deli. Follow this with some fresh Dutch herring and kibbeling (fried cod) at a family-owned fish stall.
Sweeten things up with Amsterdam's famous poffertjes (tiny pancakes) as you watch them bubble before your very eyes. Then sink your teeth into the Netherlands' best traditional Goudse stroopwafels (syrup waffles) from a family that's been making them for more than 45 years.
Switch things up with another savory snack as you sample authentic takoyaki balls made by a takoyaki chef from Osaka who joined forces with a ramen specialist from Tokyo.
Finally, end your self-guided Amsterdam food journey with a bang and enjoy award-winning hand-cut fries with a quintessentially Dutch sauce combo of peanut sauce, mayonnaise, and onions known as Patatje Oorlog.
Learn more about this vibrant neighborhood as you make your way to each of the stops. Discover the stories of Amsterdam's local food heroes and the city's food culture, and get recommendations for the rest of your stay.
