Highlights
Kick things off with… say it with me…. Saucijzenbroodjes! Sample the Dutch meat pastry from a bakery that provides work and learning opportunities to underrepresented youth.
Taste history in the form of fresh herring and kibbeling 🐟 (don’t knock it ’till you try it!)
See the Netherlands’ most famous daily market, where stalls are so coveted by vendors that permanent places have a 20-year-long wait list!
You can’t leave Amsterdam without savoring Indonesian cuisine. The former Dutch colony has left a lasting culinary legacy, bringing bold flavors and rich traditions. You’ll experience the best of them in the form of perfectly grilled chicken saté 🇮🇩
Gouda thing we didn’t forget the cheese. Taste some of the best of the rich, caramel-like and nutty Dutch national treasure.
Cap off the tour with bitterballen and jenever in a cafe whose building has been standing since 1735! 🍻
Tour Description
Embark on the Amsterdam De Pijp Food Tour, a delicious journey through the city’s Latin Quarter. Discover local artisans at the Albert Cuyp market, taste traditional Dutch delights, and explore the history of family-run shops and cafes. This tour offers an intimate glimpse into the vibrant tapestry of cultures in one of Amsterdam’s most historic neighborhoods, blending culinary exploration with cultural immersion.
We had a great time on the Albert Cuyp Market & The Pijp, thanks to our guide Gerard. He knew a lot about Dutch foods and made the tour fun and interesting. We tried tasty dutch french toast and herring at the market, which were really good. Gerard told us cool stories about Amsterdam, making us feel like we were exploring the city with a friend. I’d recommend this tour to anyone looking to taste the real Amsterdam!

Our Amsterdam foodie tour guide Danielle is a lovely person, very knowledgeable about Dutch food history and preparation, and took great care of us as we visited a range of restaurants, cafes and food preparation places to enjoy a wide variety of food and drinks. We had a great time on our foodie tour and can easily recommend Danielle as a great, knowledgeable and fun guide. Linda and Greg of Brisbane

Incredible Food Tour Experience So happy we booked a tour with Eating Europe. Danielle was the best tour guide! We could’ve chatted and shared food with her all day. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and introduced us to some amazing food in a great neighborhood. From meat filled pastry, to herring, cod fritters, apple pie and so much more. We not only tasted the food but learned about its history. Can’t say enough about what a wonderful experience it was!

We had a wonderful time on the food and canals tour with Paul. We ate delicious apple pie, tried cheese, chicken satay, mini pancakes and more. Then we rode on a boat through the canal while enjoying drinks. All the spots were unique and special. Paul told interesting fun stories. Highly recommend!

Amsterdam Canal & Food Tour!
Our guide Paul was incredible. Very knowledgeable, patient, and I loved the casual-ness he brought to something that could be long. He has some good one liners and it’s very clear that he loves what he does.
Would do this tour again & would recommend it to others!

Our guide, Jack, was very personable and engaging. We had a small group and visited various local restaurants to taste some typical Dutch food. The tour guide gave great explanations of not only the food but about Amsterdam in general as well as some of the beautiful local architecture surrounding us. We enjoyed all the food but we especially loved the cheese and our favorite place was where we had the mini dutch pancakes! We highly recommend this tour!

Our food tour of Amsterdam was an absolute delight, thanks in large part to our incredible guide Gerard! It was clear from the moment we started that he wasn't just reciting facts from a script; he truly grew up in the area and possessed a deep, intimate knowledge of Amsterdam's culinary scene and its rich history.
Every stop felt authentic and thoughtfully chosen to include hidden gems serving traditional Dutch treats. Our guide's personal anecdotes and insights about growing up in the city added so much color and context to each dish and neighborhood we explored. He proudly showed us the school where his father was headmaster. He effortlessly wove together stories of the past with the present, making the experience both delicious and incredibly informative.
His passion for Amsterdam and its food was infectious, and his recommendations were spot-on. We left the tour with full bellies, a much better understanding of the city, and a list of new favorite spots. If you're looking for a food tour that goes beyond the surface and offers a genuine taste of Amsterdam through the eyes of a true local, look no further! Highly, highly recommend Eating.

Aileen
I'm Indonesian and have lived in Amsterdam for 18+ years
Love Dutch peasoup with traditional rye bread+ bacon
Best view of Amsterdam is at the top of NEMO science museum (and its free)!
Gerard
I have lived and worked in Amsterdam all my life and still love being in the city centre!
I love exploring all the options Amsterdam has to offer: from Indonesian rice table to cheese fondue at Nieuwmarkt
Take a free ferry across the IJ and explore the NDSM area with its marvellous Straat Museum. Or wander around Albert Cuypmarket!
Maarten
I'm from Leiden, I lived in the Jordaan for five years and now live in the beautiful Zaan region.
My favourite spot for Dutch pancakes is restaurant Upstairs on the Grimburgwal. Cheese, bacon and syrup are the holy trinity!
Exploring the historical Jewish quarter to the east of the city center, with the old Portuguese synagogue, Rembrandt's house and the Resistance Museum is a great way to learn about a lesser-known side of Amsterdam's history and culture.
