Amsterdam restaurant reviews and food news

Welcome...

...to Eat-Amsterdam.com, the website for Amsterdam restaurant reviews and food news for the culinary curious.

Reviews: Want to know which Amsterdam restaurant to visit, and which to avoid? Are you looking for a particular, hard-to-find cuisine? Or do you simply want to know where you can eat in your area? Browse the menu on the left for independent restaurant reviews, details of foodie shops and the occasional wine and cocktail bar (still rare in beer-loving Amsterdam). Or explore the handy map below.

News: For details of up-and-coming chefs, food trends, cheap eats and culinary events, scroll down below the map for the three most recent posts, or go to News.

Who: To find out about Cecily Layzell, the author of Eat Amsterdam, visit About.

Contact: Think any of the restaurant reviews on this site are too harsh - or too lenient? Have suggestions for an Amsterdam restaurant you'd like to see reviewed? Or want to get in touch with us for any other reason? Then please fill in the comment box at the bottom of each page or send us an email.

Restaurant prices are indicated using one, two or three euro signs (€), representing budget, moderate and top-end. And each restaurant review comes with a star rating (out of five), so you can see quickly what we think is a gastronomic delight and what is a disaster.

Eat Amsterdam is updated regularly, so check back to see what's new in the Amsterdam restaurant scene.
