Amsterdam: Traditional Dutch Food Tastings & History｜Netherlands

Amsterdam: Traditional Dutch Food Tasting Experience

Iconic bites. Dutch drinks. 2,000 years of history. Zero walking.

All the flavour of a Dutch food tour. None of the walking.

Take a seat by Amsterdam’s beautiful Keizersgracht and eat your way through the Netherlands in one cosy, fun and delicious experience.

Taste classic and surprising Dutch specialities, enjoy local drinks, and discover the people, peculiarities and events that shaped the Netherlands—all without leaving your seat.

From bitterballen and beloved Dutch classics to flavours you probably wouldn’t order without a little encouragement, every bite comes with a story.

Come hungry. Leave full, entertained and considerably more Dutch than when you arrived.

Take your seat. No following umbrellas. No racing across bicycle lanes. No wondering when you’re finally going to eat. Simply settle into our cosy canal-side location in the heart of Amsterdam, just off Leidsestraat, and let us bring the Netherlands to you.

With a Dutch drink in one hand and a bitterbal in the other, journey from the country’s earliest settlements right through to modern Amsterdam.

Taste Your Way Through Dutch History

Discover the Netherlands through traditional and surprising food and drink tastings.

Along the way, you’ll hear the stories behind what the Dutch eat, why they eat it and what these foods reveal about Dutch history, trade, culture and everyday life.

This isn’t a history lecture—and there will be no exam.

It’s a lively, light-hearted introduction to the Netherlands told through food, drinks, stories and plenty of laughs.

Eat, Drink & Make Memories

Enjoy a selection of beer, wine, shots and soft drinks as you taste your way through Dutch culture.

Ask questions. Share stories. Try something you’ve never eaten before. Debate whether Dutch food has been unfairly judged by the rest of the world.

By the end, you’ll have eaten plenty, learned a surprising amount and earned the right to proudly say:

“I tried Dutch food—and survived.”
