Description

Begin your Amsterdam food tour in the picturesque Spui district with a visit to a fourth-generation family-run business that's been creating incredible dishes since 1898. As the oldest bakery in Amsterdam, they still meticulously craft hundreds of stroopwafels each day. You'll try one as the perfect way to start off your Amsterdam food tour. Next on your Amsterdam food tour is a stop at a historic 'brown café'. It's an Amsterdam must, so that's exactly what you'll do. This one in particular has been going strong since 1921 and has long been a favorite among creatives, intellectuals, and politicians. Indulge in a slice of Dutch apple pie with a coffee here, then set off on a stroll around the historic center. Your guide will share the fascinating stories behind gems that are hidden in plain sight, such as an unassuming 14th-century courtyard that was the epicenter of the 1960s part-political counterculture movement. After a delightful walk around Spui, it's time to learn what street food in Amsterdam is all about. Stop at a family-run stand that's become famous among locals for its remarkable herring and kibbeling — and try both for yourself, of course. A neighborhood staple since the 1980s, it's still run by the original owner and his son. Time for fries! At a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shop that's been in business for over 70 years, you'll order up a cone of piping hot fries with a homemade sauce that adds an extra-Dutch touch. No visit to the Netherlands is complete without sampling the country's most renowned export: cheese. Cross the canal to Jordaan, a 17-century neighborhood, where you'll visit a family-owned delicatessen and try a selection of flavorful Dutch cheeses. From there, you'll follow your local foodie guide to the former home of a Dutch painter and now a cozy eatery for the final stop of your Amsterdam food tour. Decorated in the typical neighborhood style, you'll try a few classics: bitterballen, stampot, and Dutch sausage with a glass of Dutch beer.
