AWESOME AMSTERDAM

AMSTERDAM’S BEST SUMMERTIME RESTAURANTS

BEST OF, EAT & DRINK, RESTAURANTS

Summertime means dining outdoors in a garden, on a terrace, by the water, or on a rooftop. It means fresh and healthy food, avoiding those heavy warming winter meals. Here are some of our favorite spots to grab a meal when the weather is nice!

Vuurtoreneiland

This summer take a boat to a private island, enjoy a 4-course meal in a temporary structure with a view over the water and a tiny lighthouse, then boat back to the city. Reserve in advance! READ MORE>>

Pllek

On a sunny day, grab your friends and relax on the beach chairs in the gravel with a beer in hand and watch the ships go by on the IJ. Or sit at the tables and have a casual lunch or dinner while soaking up some rays. READ MORE>>

BAUTZUID

Open from breakfast to dinner with a huge terrace, BAUTZUID is a great spot for eating and drinking any time of day. Borrel time is our favorite time, what’s yours? READ MORE>>

Vergulden Eenhoorn

This old farmhouse has been converted to a cafe. On a sunny day or warm evening come enjoy tasty food in their peaceful garden or on the relaxed benches outside on the terrace. READ MORE>>

Canvas at Volkshotel

Lunch or dinner on a rooftop? Yes please! Then stay for cocktails and dance into the night at Club Canvas. READ MORE>>

Gs Brunch Boat

Summer means boating on the canals. Why not enjoy brunch and bloody marys while doing just that? Gs brunch boat runs twice a day on the weekends. You couldn’t ask for a better view. READ MORE>>

Mercat

Mercat has a huge terrace that is especially amazing on a sunny summer afternoon. Go for a selection of tapas and pintxos and wash it down with some sangria! READ MORE>>

Thuis aan de Amstel

This former engineer’s house of the Zuidergasfabriek has been transformed into a unique and beautiful cafe with a lovely terrace. Sit in the large garden along the Amstel and enjoy a drink, meal or snacks. READ MORE>>

Mossel en Gin

In our minds Mossel en Gin started this G&T craze in Amsterdam with their lovely terrace and yummy food. If you like seafood, sunshine and gin… just go! READ MORE>>

Hoftuin

The secret garden cafe near the Hermitage, Hoftuin is the place to go for high tea, lunch or borrel when the weather is nice. Do you see the small moestuin? The restaurant uses those herbs and veggies in the dishes! READ MORE>>

THT

The terrace at THT has terrific views of the city across the water. They’re open for lunch and dinner with small plates to share, or just enjoy one for yourself. Come check it out soon! READ MORE>>

REM Eiland

Dine 22 meters above the IJ in an old pirate television tower. REM Eiland offers not only delicious food and an amazing view, but also an interesting glimpse into the history of broadcasting in the Netherlands. Grab a drink on their roof terrace! READ MORE>>
