Boutique Dutch Food & History Tour - by Amsterdam Food Tours

Don’t waste time trying to hit the Dutch food hotspots alone, only to end up in tourist traps. Instead, join this boutique and specialized food tour through Amsterdam, during which you stop at several distinct locations. Stroll through the quaint Jordaan area and along the city's famous canals to enjoy iconic dishes like homemade Dutch apple pie in a traditional "brown" pub, exclusive cheeses in a private tasting room, and a mini ‘Rijsttafel’ from the former Dutch colony of Indonesia.

Details

Cafe Papeneiland
Meet your guide and fellow participants at Amsterdam's finest Dutch 'bruine kroeg' (brown pub) and enjoy the famous homemade apple pie with a drink to your liking just like Bill Clinton once did here. The ideal way to start the tour in a relaxed way, get to know each other and hear fascinating stories such as why the Dutch don't consider apple pie a dessert and why they like to eat it in a brown pub. And your guide also likes to tell you about the history of Amsterdam and the Jordaan neighborhood where the tour takes place.

V.O.F. Butchery T.F.M. Louman
Visit one of Amsterdam's most famous butcher shops, located in the Jordaan since 1892 and owned by the Louman family for six generations. In this store you will get the real Jordaan feeling while tasting the best 'ossenworst'. This is a smoked raw beef sausage with oriental spices that was already made in the early 17th century by the Amsterdam kitchen maids as a luxury delicacy for the rich Amsterdam merchants. And that's not all because we will also let you taste a typical Dutch ham, pork sausage and salted beef.

Design & Wijn

Vishandel Centrum
Taste one of the most famous Dutch delicacies: Dutch herring. Learn why it was so important to Dutch history and the rise of the "Golden Age." Taste for yourself why this is such a culinary gem, contrary to the cliché stories you may have heard. In addition, try the popular hot Dutch fish dish "kibbeling" (fried cod). Both used to be poor man's food and are now considered a real specialty.

Bourgondisch Lifestyle Amsterdam
We are super proud of all our wonderful food partners and friends who make and sell the most delicious Dutch delicacies. And we think Bourgondisch Lifestyle is an extra special location that we will take you to. Not because we have the exclusive right to use their special tasting room in a centuries old Amsterdam house but also because here you will find the top Dutch and international cheeses. Owner René and his team buy, mature and refine over 300 different cheeses and sell them to numerous top restaurants at home and abroad from their "cheese fortress" an early 20th century bunker outside Amsterdam. All of these cheeses are purely artisanal and come from small local producers. Taste four different Dutch cheeses (decent pieces, no mouse bites) including, of course, the Gouda cheese with a delicious wine and crackers.

Café Nieuw Amsterdam
Close off your perfect food tour with a portion of warm 'bitterballen' and a drink in the former headquarters of the 17th century Dutch West-Indian Company where it was once decided to establish the colony of New Amsterdam, later to be known as New York.
