Bitterballen Amsterdam in Haarlemmerbuurt

Excellent bitterballens. It's crispy from the outside and bursting with flavours in the inside. Very well fried. The mini platter was great as well! I loved how the bami was fried and seasoned.

We booked a table to eat there at the premises and everything was great, we tried the tasting to share and the potatoes with truffle mayonnaise and for dessert the mango cheesecake and everything was delicious! The attention of the boys was also very good. The place is small and cozy. Without a doubt if we return to Amsterdam, we will go again and repeat. Out of 10!!

It goes well with beer. Fried balls with a jelly-like interior and veal, lamb and vegetarian options. The environment for such a food is too romantic.

A great welcome upon our arrival, with a little attention that pleased the children. What a great discovery, the bitterballen and fresh fries, simply excellent! We loved the Chardonnay white wine, which was excellent, and the charming decor which made the place even more pleasant. The prices are fair, and we really enjoyed our time with you. Special mention to the waiter for his impeccable and warm service. We will come back with pleasure! 👌🍷🍟

Stopped in here for a taste of Dutch cuisine, and the bitterballen did not disappoint! We got the tasting menu, which came with 4 of each of their flavors (beef, vegan, and veal), as well as the fries. Everything was delicious, and the staff was so welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend this spot if you want to try bitterballen!

Excellent food and super friendly waiter, background music and vegan options!

My wife and I are from the US and we visited the Netherlands back in September 2024. We were looking for a relaxing and delicious Dutch lunch at a fair price, and this place delivered that for us! We ordered the Sharing is Caring Bitterballen Tasting, which includes 4 beef, 4 veal, and 4 vegan. We also ordered the fries with black truffle mayo and some sparkling water. This place deserves all the great reviews!

It was a restaurant where you could enjoy typical Dutch meals in mini-sized portions, with good taste and good service.

Beautiful place, and lovely music taste. Congratulations

One of the most cozy place in the "craziest" environment city, close to Amsterdam Central

This is a local acquaintance's special steamed bitterballen restaurant and restaurant.

Absolutely beautiful service from Mufaro she is such a kind soul and made us feel so welcome plus the bitterballen was delicious very warming and crispy on a cold amsterdam day. Lovely venue to eat in cool music too

Amsterdam es nuestro lugar favorito de vacaciones y sin embargo nunca habíamos probado bitterballen - estamos tan contentos de que este lugar fue nuestro primer sabor, todo fue increíble! El restaurante es simple y hermoso con un ambiente relajado. Probamos el bitterballen de ternera, bitterballen de ternera y patatas fritas y fueron excepcionales! Tan crujiente sin una sola gota de aceite. Sin embargo, lo más destacado fue el servicio. Mofaro (¡espero estar escribiendo su nombre correctamente!) fue una anfitriona increíble. Ella estaba en su quinto turno y ya era tan consciente y ofreció recomendaciones y emparejamientos en cada paso del camino! Su manera profesional y amable añadió tanto a nuestra experiencia, que fue una delicia absoluta y un crédito para el restaurante. ¡No podemos esperar a volver para más amargor increíble y el mejor servicio! 10 / 10

Amazing experience for the second time at bitterballen Amsterdam. Having the best bitterballen in the city with a warm and relaxed ambience makes this a fantastic place to come for those who come for a bite and stay for some drinks. 5/5

The croquettes were delicious! We really enjoyed the truffle mayo and the Goud Stick as well, a treat. The service was more than perfect, thank you very much we recommend +++

¡Qué lugar tan hermoso! El servicio y el equipo eran encantadores! La comida era fabulosa! ¡Me acordaré de los palitos de queso durante mucho tiempo! Fuimos alrededor de las 3 de la tarde y era agradable y ocupado tan encantador ambiente. Sin duda recomiendo.

The perfect place to try the traditional bitterballens. The atmosphere was both cosy and elegant, the food was great and the waitress / cook was so nice. Also the price was reasonable. We had an amazing time, I highly recommend!

Really great. Really great and not expensive !

Excellent bitterballen and great service + ambience. However, they also served burnt fries.

Super spot to discover typical dutch fried specialties. Service is great and friendly, food is super tasty and not that expensive. I highly recommend to visit this place.

Very nice place! I absolutely loved it!

I think Bitterballen is one of my new favourite foods!! This is a great looking place and it’s on a street just away from a busy place so it was nice to be off a main or busy restaurant. It was the first time trying bitterballen and my husband and I shared the one that came with 12 bitterballen. They have a nice selection on that one. It worked well as a small dinner if you aren’t super hungry.

Very cozy place in the city center! Food is great and the staff is wonderful! Thank you, we had a great time!

Very small simple menu but great place for Bitterballen

Try this if you are in for a very good snack, perfect service and a glass of wine without any fuzz. Are comming back as soon as possible

If you are talking about a nice concept, then it is this spot, only bitterballen, cheese sticks and fries, of super quality, very nice and tasty, an absolute must because otherwise you would not have been to Amsterdam!

Delicious Bitterballen, welcoming place, friendly, attentive and helpful staff. Recommended

Amazing food , my favourite place for the tastiest comfort food. Super friendly service and great atmosphere. Very nice selection of beers & wines as well 👌🏻

Hands down best Bitterballen in town! A must visit if you are in Amsterdam

Found this place on google as the best for mitterballen "meatballs"...100% spot on Super meatballs, great service and super nice girls/girls.

Very nice place with delicious bitterballen, wines and a great interior. Super fun for a date or a nice evening of drinks. The top service makes this place highly recommended!!

Nice! It was delicious. Interior is mild and the owner is a good guy. Finally I developed the film and attaching it. Thank you. You may find there some smiling fellas

Very dissapoiting, not “home made” but the brands that you can buy very cheap in ah sold for 20x more, TOURIST TRAP

We wanted to try this while we were in Amsterdam. The place is very beautiful and new. But the taste was incredibly bad. I can say that this place is disappointing. The employees are slow-witted and careless. That's why I definitely don't recommend this place.

What a great tent! The tastiest bitterballen I ate in Amsterdam. Also a nice meal, wine and bitterballen, what more could you want! Staff were also very friendly. I'll definitely be back!

Great first experience with Bitterballen. Highly recommended.

Probably the best bitterballen in the city. It was incredibly delicious! We were first and then the last guests and the boss even opened the kitchen again for us. Speaking of the boss - a super nice person who sees his business as a passion. We're going to spend a lot of money here. Absolute recommendation!

It's an interesting and downright funny bar. The interior is hip, neat and tidy. Very modern and the tables set with wine and water glasses make you think you are in a star restaurant. This just makes it funnier that there are only fried snacks. The service wasn't particularly smooth, but that was partly because it was so quiet. Me and my girlfriend had the tasting where you get 4 bitterballen each of 3 types. The veal doesn't have much flavor but overall it was tasty. The fries are tasty (although this thickness is more like fries), but the truffle mayo is especially recommended. Nice to visit but not a place to really have a drink or eat in my opinion. For example, there is no beer on tap and only brewery t'ij in the bottle. The bitterballen are also relatively not very cheap

Nice place with great food and amazing service!

Perfect place to visit in Amsterdam to try local food Plus excellent service 😀

Delicious food, good beer, relaxed atmosphere, friendly and nice, I would happily recommend it

very friendly and kind. food is excellent. ♥️ never miss Bitterballen when in Amsterdam!!!

Chic restaurant, the bitterballen were very good and reasonably priced. The staff is very friendly

incredible, from start to finish it was perfect, impeccable service, faultless cuisine

The meatballs were delicious, I liked the cheese ones a little less (unlike my mother) The super nice server The only downside was the music was a little too loud.

Truly a great experience! I didn't know what to expect from this traditional product, however I was incredibly surprised. 100% recommended if you go to Amsterdam you should go yes or yes. We were served by the owner, who is truly committed to every detail to make this dinner a culinary experience. Very grateful for everything!😍

If you need a place to try Bitterballen in Amsterdam, this is the right place. The products are great, we ordered the plate that comes with all the flavors they offer, as well as fries that were extraordinary and some cheese sticks with sweet and sour sauce. The mayonnaise seems to be homemade and very well made. The restaurant is run by its own owner, who does an excellent job, really congratulations for the good restaurant you have. The restaurant has a perfect atmosphere, it is well lit, there is good use of the spaces and it has good music for a quiet dinner. We will surely recommend it to anyone passing through Amsterdam. 🇳🇱🇨🇱

No suelo escribir reseñas, pero tuve que hacerlo para este lugar. La comida era increíble, el lugar es super lindo y el personal es impecable. Sin duda recomendaría

Nice and quiet place, the food is excellent and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We took the veal and beef bitterballen and the fried mix, and it all turned out to be delicious. The price/quality ratio is also right. Super recommended if you are in Amsterdam and want to eat something typical

First time I have tried bitterballen and didn’t know what to expect. They had a very crunchy coating and soft thick centre. We loved that they had a vegan option. It tasted quite meaty, and like thick stock. Not sure they are my favourite but good to try and glad I had them here. The cheese sticks were amazing!! Super crunchy outside and gooey inside, the olives were also very tasty. The staff were nice and helpful with helping choose what to order.

Very pleasant place, the employee is very nice and friendly, it’s my first time to try bitterballen so I can’t judge if it’s the best or not but I liked it. The place is so clean, overall very good experience.

Un patron d’une gentillesse extrême, des prix qui défient toute concurrence, des plats délicieux et préparés maison…le combo gagnant pour déguster les bitterballen, spécialité d’Amsterdam! Tou est simple, accueillant et chaleureux, Venue en tant que touriste avec mon fils de 14 ans, il veut déjà y retourner. Une évaluation tripadvisor entièrement validée !

I couldn’t speak more highly of this restaurant! We wanted to have an easy, low key dinner and were pleasantly surprised! It was such a nice summers evening and we were able to sit outside, the staff were super attentive and the food was delicious. We opted for the tasting plate of bitterballen and the Reypenaer which was incredible. Would definitely recommend!

Nice place, great food, friendly and helpful service. I highly recommend the mix of bitterballen and those with veal, really delicate and well fried (even the espressos weren't bad). Perhaps not exactly cheap prices, but in line with the local average!

We were met by a very good atmosphere immediately when we entered, super nice reception. We felt really welcome. It's our first time in Amsterdam and we wanted to try the bitterballen, and we read that this place would be good. We tried the tasting menu and added fries with truffle mayo. Everything was top class and the prices were surprisingly good! Recommend everyone to try "Bitterballen Amsterdam". It can be good to book a table in advance, it's quite popular!

The food is great. As someone who doesn't like bitterballen, it was excellent. I have to say tho, it's a bit pricey. I'm aware of the quality, but still... I don't know if you can justify paying 5euros for a small portion of fries (even tho cooked in beef fat). Same for the bitterballen, I would say it's slightly too pricey as well. The price can be justified by the atmosphere and the location I guess.

Great little shop in Amsterdam! The boss was super nice and also gave good tips. The food was very tasty, it was exciting to try something new! Gladly again :)

Vamos a Amsterdam cada año y siempre hacemos un punto para pedir bitterballen un par de veces mientras estamos allí. La mejor comida de bar. Cuando vimos que alguien había creado un restaurante que se centra en esta delicia junto con una gran carta de vinos, nos emocionamos mucho. Bitterballen Amsterdam no decepcionó! Probamos una mezcla de tres sabores - ternera era nuestro favorito! También tuvimos unas patatas fritas perfectamente fritas, cortadas a mano con alioli de ajo. Tanto si te gusta el bitterballen como si nunca lo has probado, ¡este es el lugar para sumergirte!

If you're wondering what could be so special about bitterballen, then you haven't been here yet. Excellent quality and friendly service, a must when you are in the area. Well deserved five stars.

Very nice place and the food is very good quality. The bitterballen and home fries are perfect. And the manager is very nice. He speaks French too :) The service is very good too. If you’re in Amsterdam, don’t hesitate!

If you’re looking for a fun Dutch experience this is the place to go! The food was so good and the service even better!

We tried beef bitterballen and cheese stick, they were delicious. You should stop by for a snack.

Very fancy place, friendly service. I had bitterballen and it was delicious

Had veal bitterballen and cheesesticks here and both were delicious! Service was great too. The waitress was very thoughtful and would remind me (with a great smile) to eat in small bites as the bitterballen and cheesesticks were still very hot.

It was a very clean shop and the owner was very nice! I happened to come here because I wanted to eat local food, and it was delicious. It's like knowing the roots of Japanese cream croquette. However, it may be painful for Japanese people as it is all fried food. But it was very delicious! I recommend it if you go to the Netherlands! They also speak English, so if you don't understand the menu, you can ask.

Amazing place! Simple menu, awesome quality! 🥰

If I could, I would come back tomorrow! And I say this because after trying it for the first time on Saturday Evening we went back the day after for the Sunday Lunch (our last one in the beautiful Amsterdam) 💔. The place: 10/10. So chic, cozy and lovely. The food: SOOO GOOD AND TASTY! We had all kind of Bitterballen and their french fries, so yummy 😋 Each of them is my fave. Rutger, the owner, is magic! A funny person, so kind and nice. We really liked talking with him, also because we share a passion: Italy & Bitterballen! I hope to come back here very very soon. Nicest place to come try a Amsterdam must try. Also, price / quality is 10/10. Grazie mille! Un saluto da Daniela & Tommaso

Just come here! If you want the best Bitterballen experience, in a clean, warm and inviting environment. With an owner that will personally go the extra mile for you. Just go!

Super lekkere Bitterballen, kaasstengels en frietjes gegeten bij Bitterbal Amsterdam. De eigenaar is heel aardig en verteld enthousiast over zijn werk.

I wanted to try bitterballen on my Amsterdam visit. This is a tiny beautiful place with amazing staff and we ordered the mixed platter with 2 pieces of each variety. It was super crispy on the outside and soft inside. The veal was the best of the lot though we liked all 3.

Very nice service and delicious snacks!

Very nice owner, great team and really incredibly tasty food. The bitterballen are fantastic. The cheese sticks and fries too. Everything homemade.

The best bitterballen with a super delicious taste in Amsterdam! A very nice atmosphere and local beer with friendly service. It therefore absolutely deserves 5 stars and I would be happy to come back.

This is definitely the place to go to try Bitterballen. I had Bitterballen at quite a few places, but this was by far the best Bitterballen and the restaurant also has a nice upscale atmosphere. Also, the staff were probably some of the nicest people met in Amsterdam.

Great (also vegan) bitterballen and fries and likely the friendliest and most generous staff in Amsterdam. Loved every minute of our visit.

The beef bitterballen were amazing, my wife loved the vegan option. The cheese sticks with sweet chili sauce were soooo good. The fries with mayo were great. The interior is nice, clean, and the atmosphere is great.

Everything was spectacular! The place, the attention and the food. We ordered a mix of bitternaller, cheese sticks and fries. I recommend it all!

Wonderful atmosphere, the owner and staff are so kind and friendly! The food is also amazing! I would definitely recommend!! Ended up sharing the bitterballen tasting and bittergarnituur mix with the table and everyone loved it. Could not recommend enough!

First time trying bitterballen, it was even better than I expected! The food was warm and tasted great. The staff was super nice and I also liked the atmosphere. Worth a visit.

Amazing, very nice, delicious ✨

I’ve tried “bitterballen” for the first time. It was amazingly delicious-crunchy outside but super soft inside. I had 2 of each types. The best was with veal meat. I had also a non-alcoholic drink which was really tasty! 100% recommended

Pleasant room. The bitterballs are mastered to perfection. You absolutely have to try the cheesesticks, they are delicious!

Very good discovery! Very nice boss who speaks French too!

A place to discover. Cool good music and very good specialties. In addition, the boss speaks French. Very useful. Without forgetting the Local Brouwerij beer, they have it!

Super lecker (also „schön“). Freundliche Bedienung, tolle Atmosphäre. Regionales Essen und regionales Bier. Leider selten im Centrum.

Truly CRAZY, the food is fantastically good, delicious. Clean and super cute atmosphere! Staff nothing to say, helpful and very kind! OPTIMAL

Truly CRAZY, the food is fantastically good, delicious. Clean and super cute atmosphere! Staff nothing to say, helpful and very kind! top del top

Great dinner. The trip from Landshut (Bavaria) is definitely worth it. Perfect service, super friendly staff and mega delicious food. More than recommended. We will come back.

This is very friendly to have. His shop has been around for 10 years and he has traveled around Indonesia on a Vespa. Starting from Sumatra to Java I come here specifically for bitterballen and it's really delicious. Try Heineken (it's the country after all) The restaurant atmosphere is also good

It was good a Testing and two beers €29

Unbelievable ! Be sure to try the very good beef bitterballen, which gives you the taste of meat, and the cheesestick, which is not mentioned much but was very, very nice. I think it would be legendary if he made mac & cheese balls too. Also, the staff at the restaurant were very friendly. This is my favorite snack & wine place in Amsterdam.

1 A 👍🏽 Very tasty and there are different bitterballen to choose from. A must when you are here in Amsterdam..

Wow. This place is amazing. Our first meal in Amsterdam and it did not disappoint. It seems like a family run restaurant and everyone is super nice. The owner was our server and he was super cool and nice. Highly recommend coming here to try the Dutch staple.

Very nice Location, Great atmosphere and the Bitterballen were to die for! Will definitely recommend to friends & family

We wanted to eat some authentic bitterballen and randomly bumped into this location. We had the bitterballen tasting menu and a bottle of champagne and yes, it paired perfectly :) Great Host, great location and great food & drinks. We‘ll come back!

Excellent food and services. Definitely recommended!

Absolutely exquisite!! We got the platter with vegetarian/vegan, veal, and beef bitterballen. Delicious!!

The best bitterballen I've ever eaten 🤤

5 bitterballen out of 5. A must-visit establishment. Staff are extremely friendly and professional. Just so you know, my new life philosophy is Bitterballen. Keep the 5 stars up.
