What To Expect

Haarlemmerstraat 2

Welcome to Amsterdam! We begin your culinary journey with a tasting of Dutch cheese — from the creamy smoothness of young cheese to the rich depth of aged (old) varieties, and the unique tang of goat cheese. You'll try both traditional and modern flavors from Amsterdam and beyond in a local shop that sets the perfect tone for the experience ahead.

Haarlemmerdijk 4

Next, we dive into two local seafood classics that are a must-try in Amsterdam. First, you’ll taste kibbeling — crispy, golden-fried cod bites served with a tangy remoulade sauce. Then comes Dutch herring, a traditional delicacy served Amsterdam-style with pickles and chopped onions. Locals eat it by lifting it by the tail and taking a bite — and you can too! Both are served at a beloved local spot that captures the heart of the city’s street food culture.

We’ll take you to a beloved neighborhood butcher to try grillworst, a warm sausage infused with cheese. It’s a favorite local snack and the kind of flavorful, hearty bite that makes you feel instantly connected to the city.

Prinsenstraat 19

Here we explore Amsterdam’s colonial culinary roots with a stop at a Surinamese eatery. You’ll try bara, a spiced lentil dough fritter, filled with rich curry chicken. Thanks to the deep ties between the Netherlands and Suriname, this dish is now a beloved staple of the Dutch food scene.

We end on a sweet note with a freshly made stroopwafel, a classic Dutch cookie made from two thin waffles filled with gooey caramel syrup. It’s still warm, straight from the iron — the perfect final bite on this delicious journey through Amsterdam’s hidden gems.
