Private Amsterdam Food Tour with a Local Guide

Welcome to the ultimate culinary adventure in Amsterdam.

If you want to truly understand a city, you eat your way through it. This private food tour takes you deep into the heart of Amsterdam's most vibrant culinary neighbourhood, De Pijp, for an unforgettable gastronomic journey through Dutch flavours, multicultural influences, and centuries of food tradition. Eight carefully chosen tastings. One extraordinary experience.

 

What You'll Taste

​

Bitterballen & Croquettes. Start with two Dutch classics that have stood the test of time. Bite through the golden, crispy exterior of a perfect bitterbal to reveal its creamy, savoury filling - a taste that locals have loved for generations. Follow it with a croquette crafted to perfection, rich and indulgent in every bite.

​

Surinamese Cuisine. One of Amsterdam's best-kept culinary secrets. The city's deep ties with Suriname have given birth to a food culture unlike anywhere else in Europe. Your guide will introduce you to the exotic flavours and fascinating story behind this beloved part of Amsterdam's multicultural heritage.

​

Freshly made Stroopwafel. No visit to Amsterdam is complete without one. Warm, sticky, and impossibly good - a freshly made stroopwafel is a world away from the packaged version you might know. This is the real thing.

​

Local Drinks.

Beer & Jenever. Wash it all down the Dutch way. Sip a refreshing local beer or taste jenever - the juniper-flavoured spirit that Amsterdam has been distilling since the 17th century and the original inspiration behind gin.

​

The Local Market. Your tour includes a visit to one of De Pijp's beloved local markets, where your guide will walk you through the finest local produce, seasonal ingredients, and the vibrant food culture that makes this neighbourhood so special.

​

More Than Just Food

Between tastings, your guide shares the stories that make each dish meaningful - the origins of Dutch comfort food, the cultural significance of local ingredients, the secrets behind Amsterdam's brewing traditions, and the fascinating history of how this small nation became a global culinary powerhouse.

This is Amsterdam through its food. And there is no better way to know a city.
