Highlights
Kick things off with a sweet and cinnamon-spiced breakfast adored by locals and visitors alike.
Taste history in the form of fresh herring and kibbeling đ (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!
Say it with me: Saucijzenbroodjes. Sample the Dutch meat pastry from a bakery that provides work and learning opportunities to underrepresented youth.
You can’t leave Amsterdam without savoring Surinamecuisine. The former Dutch colony is responsible for some of the country’s most vibrant flavors, and you’ll experience the best of them in the form of a renowned roti roll đ¸đˇ
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! đť
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!

Amsterdam Albert Cuyp Food Tour We've been to Amsterdam several times but Katya helped us see it differently this time around. She is very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. The tour we allowed us to see the city from a locals perspective. We would definitely recommend the Albert Cuyp food tour with Eating Europe.

Our group of 6 thoroughly enjoyed Danielle and her 4 hour âEating Amsterdamâ food tour. She was warm, friendly, knowledgeable and seemed very passionate about sharing information for Amsterdam and the food we tasted. The restaurant variety was spot-on what we were hoping for, from very traditional Dutch fare to more modern immigrant food. The canal tour for the final hour was the perfect way to end this fun afternoon together.

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.
