De Blauwe Hollander in De Weteringschans

Excellent service and food, traditional dishes with great flavor and generous portions.

The place is beautiful, the staff are super friendly, and the food is fantastic and homemade; the mashed potatoes and meats are spectacular.

The food was fantastic. The service was excellent. The value for money is amazing. A top place to enjoy typical Dutch home cooking. The Blauwe Hollander is a must-try when visiting Amsterdam. We were very satisfied.

Delicious food, good service from Nelson

Probably the best restaurant to try typical Dutch food in Amsterdam - had such an amazing meal one night that I had to come back for lunch the next day. Lovely staff, tasty food. Highly recommend the daily menu with the pea soup and bacon and kale stamppot!

Great food, 1st night in Amsterdam still jet lagged wanted a low key spot but still cute. Everything was perfect, food, vibes, staff. For 2 people shared pea soup, herring, bittenballen, 1x stampot hutspot.

The food could be better seasoned. Beer prices are exorbitantly high.

I thought I had found a nice Dutch restaurant, but this is completely geared towards tourists. The food is good, but the portions are quite small and the prices are quite high (especially the drinks: €7.75 for a glass of beer, €4.75 for soft drinks). It was fun to do once, but I won't be coming back.

A lovely, lively restaurant with excellent Dutch cuisine. The mussels in white wine and with herbs were superb.

This was our favorite restaurant during our stay in Amsterdam. A very nice spot. We tasted a very good Dutch cuisine, especially the Dutch herring, salmon fillet and Apple pie. The Staff Was very kind and available to us, a special mention goes to Suzanne, Nelson, as well as the dark haired lady. Highly recommended!

Review from Taiwan: Delicious Dutch food, loved it! The braised beef with mashed potatoes was super good 👍 Highly recommend trying the herring as a starter 😎 No reservation needed during opening hours. Main courses are around 20-30 euros. Appetizers are around 8 euros.

I wanted to try some typical dishes. The portions are generous and tasty.

Good traditional Dutch food. I arrived around 2 pm and there was space, but it was constantly busy, so arrive early to avoid lines.

We ate some croquettes and a Stamppot with meatballs and bacon. The beer was very good, the croquettes were unusual for my taste, but well made. The Stamppot was delicious! The place is quiet and pleasant.

The food left something to be desired. The tomato soup was okay, but they went way overboard with the black pepper. The vegetarian Stamppot was dry and bland, with no sauce whatsoever. They charged us 6 euros for a 250ml bottle of water. Update in response to your reply: I haven't confused the restaurants; I'm describing my experience at your restaurant. There was no sauce on the meatballs, just melted butter. What is true, and what I did get wrong, is that the water was 0.5L (enough for one glass per person; there were two of us).

Excellent Dutch food and drinks. It was our anniversary and Nelson our waiter gave us extra special treatment. Recommend the Stampot dishes and the Dutch gin.

Visited on Friday, September 18, 2026, at 7:35 PM. Since it is a popular restaurant, I was worried about whether there would be seats available without a reservation, but fortunately, the three of us were seated right away. For appetizers, we ordered herring and bean soup, and for the main courses, we ordered two stamppots; the stamppot topped with steak was tastier than the one with meatballs. The herring had no fishy smell and was refreshingly delicious! The bean soup was slightly salty, but it was light, warm, and tasty as well. Paired with Heineken beer and Shiraz red wine, it was a very satisfying meal. I highly recommend this place to Koreans who want to try Dutch food!

Amazing little gem in the heart of Amsterdam! Totally satisfied with the traditional Stamppot I tried. The staff recommended me to try locally brewed beer-wonderful! Definitely add this place to your plans! I went there on a monday evening and it wasn’t that busy, but I hear from locals and other reviewers that if you’re planning to visit in busiest days or larger groups-book in advance! ❤️

We fell very lucky in that we managed to eat here without a reservation which is highly recommended. Both of us had the Stamppot - it was lovely. Great service, surroundings, food and drink. Highly recommended

great food and service, very nice staff!!

Second time at this spectacular Dutch restaurant. I came a few years ago and I'm coming back because it's delicious and the service is superb, especially Mateo, a guy who speaks Spanish and helps you out and serves you like no one else. P.S.: Numerous places claiming to have traditional Dutch food have opened on the same street, but I highly recommend this one; it's exquisite.

Our first time at this Dutch Cuisine restaurant . We thought about full bediening, greasy patatje dishes, but we had completely the opposit . Wonderful.and delicious . Salmon Tom Pouce, baby- sole , veal liver, traditional Apple pie and pure chocolat cake gave us a delightful feeling of happiness . The Armenian Lion, Levon was a marvelous , friendly and smiling waiter at our table . Thank you very much .

Excellent food and service from Mateo. Thank you for getting us to know a bit more of Amsterdam.

Had a delicious meal and a very cozy location. Served by Levon with super attentive service. Nothing was too much trouble. I am not a big eater anymore. I think it is a waste to throw food away. I was given the leftover food to take home beautifully packaged. We will definitely come back here again.

Absolutely amazing experience! The hearty pea soup, the beefsteak and the chicken satay were delicious, fries were extra crispy, and jenever genuinely worth trying! In addition, stellar service by Ms. Zuzanna from Poland who ran to a nearby restaurant to get more mushrooms as their restaurant ran out ❤️🙏🏻 10/10

Nelson gave us the best experience!

The server, Ms. Zuzanna is an absolute sweetheart! 🫶🏽 Not only did she help us with our order (fantastic recommendations), she went out of her way to make us feel comfortable every step of the way! She even gave us some delicious Jenever to try on her cost. It's the kind of human interection they restores your faith in people. 😊 TL;DR The food is delicious, the atmosphere is buzzing, and the service is exceptional. ✨

Typical atmosphere, excellent food, fast service. I was impressed by the hospitality and kindness of the staff, especially Susanna!

Very good, the food was excellent and typical of Holland. We went without much of an idea of ​​what to eat, and Mateo, a Uruguayan waiter, suggested several dishes and he was right! Very well served and highly recommended!

A very good experience. The food was delicious and the service excellent. Mateo recommended the best dishes, all local, and everything was fantastic! 👏😁

The place is spectacular, they have a menu in almost every language, the food is excellent, and despite everything, the best part was the waiter Mateo. He advised us on the menu and we tasted the best Dutch food thanks to him 🥰👍

The service was incredibly friendly; even though the restaurant was full, they managed to find a table for our group of four. There was a good selection of food and drinks, and no long wait times. Everything was absolutely delicious. Excellent value for money! We'll definitely be back.

We just wandered in for a Dutch meal. Bitterballen, Slavinken were delicious. Thank you Matteo for attentive service.

Very nice place, good service from Mateo and his colleagues, and delicious typical food.

Excellent service provided by Mateo, very flexible, efficient and customer-oriented!

A great place to eat in Amsterdam! If you want to try typical Dutch cuisine, we highly recommend it. We tried the stampots and loved them, and the service was excellent, especially thanks to Mateo who was very helpful with his recommendations. 😉

You absolutely have to try their signature dish...delicious!

We want to try traditional Dutch food. This is a good choice of the day. The Stamppot was amazing and the potion was very generous.

Delicious dinner on a rainy evening. We were welcomed and seated right away. We both ordered salmon with mashed potatoes and baked tomato asparagus and haricots verre. We had been missing vegetables recently and this satisfied everything. Reasonable price, good service and nice atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

The staff is wonderful and super attentive. The food is delicious and authentic. I highly recommend it.

The set menu is very well balanced. You get to sample some of the local cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. It's a bit warm inside, but it's wonderful.

They have a set menu for €30...

Amazing food and no waiting time!

Very good food and very good service ❤️

Order the bitterballen Its the best & the stamppot andeijvi is great The staff they are so gentle and friendly

Welcoming place, excellent food, very friendly staff!!! We'll be back!

Had a lovely dinner on the patio. Arrived during a busy time but didn’t wait long for a table. Friendly service & delicious Dutch food. Enjoyed a Dutch Spirit after dinner recommended by our server. Would recommend!

We enjoyed the traditional dishes and desserts. We always come here with my wife to have a meal together.

Very average dutch food i think. Staff seems nice enough tho. But the price is pretty high for what they serve i think

Got the weekly special which was the T-bone steak; looked good but was as tough as shoe leather. Could barely cut it let alone eat it. Staff could not have cared less; my fault for not sending it back immediately. I literally was roughing it out. Chocolate cake was good, but my €37 definitely could have been spent in better places. Try the Van Beeren or Loetje. Better service and to die for steaks.

The place is quite small, so the tables are very close together, and some are truly tiny. We ordered two appetizers and a main dish to share. Personally, I found the mashed potatoes served with salad a bit peculiar, as were the famous meat croquettes, which actually contain much more béchamel sauce than meat. To finish, we ordered an apple pie and mini waffles. Of the two, I definitely recommend the latter; the apple pie, however, was a disappointment, served cold and tasting rather strange. Overall, I wasn't thrilled with this place. However, I recommend booking through TheFork to take advantage of the 50% discount: at least there's one silver lining! :)

The shrimp croquettes paired wonderfully with the beer, and the staff were very kind and attentive. However, I was a little puzzled as to why we were seated at that particular table. Overall, the food and service were good, but the seating arrangement was somewhat disappointing.

Excellent dinner with typical Dutch dishes. Everything was good and tasty, except the Stampoot veal was tough and stringy. The staff were friendly and helpful, and with the TheFork discount, the bill was fair.

The food was so delicious, the service was great. We had a great time!

I had a typical dish, it was delicious! The staff spoke Spanish, so they helped me decide what to order. I had a beer and everything was great!

A good Dutch restaurant in the center of Amsterdam. We tried the mixed appetizers, both hot and cold. Both dishes were delicious and, more importantly, offered a taste of several Dutch specialties. The apple pie was also delicious, even though it's served cold (which was specified on the menu). Arriving around 7:30 PM, we quickly found a free table, although the place is very popular and reservations are recommended. Fair price.

We arrived around 4 pm with eight people without a reservation and were seated immediately. I ordered set menu 1. For a starter, I had the pea soup, which was incredibly delicious but also quite filling. My main course was the vegetarian "Stamppot Hutspot" with butter sauce, which was equally excellent. To finish, we had the poffertjes, which were a perfect ending to the meal.

Walking into de Blauwe Hollander felt like walking into a traditional Dutch home. I’m so glad we did! We made a 7pm reservation and were seated promptly. For tourists- the staff speak perfect English so if this is a concern for you don’t worry. The restaurant itself held a lot of charm and Delft blue. They had a large window and some outdoor seating. Our waitress was friendly and attentive while answering any questions we had perfectly. They had a three course tasting menu so I ordered the pea soup, hutspot, and poffertjes. The pea soup was one of the best I’ve had- rich with a deep depth of savory flavor. Large chunks of hams and peas. Definitely worth it for a bowl! The hutspot was also exceptional with exceptionally creamy potatoes and flavorful gravy. The meat was a little fatty but not overwhelmingly so. Finally, the poffertjes were excellent as well. Perfectly chewy and the ice cream they serve went along great with it. Definitely check out De Blauwe Hollander but make sure you make a reservation!

We ate very well, everything was fine.

Excellent atmosphere and food 👍😎

We loved the food, the atmosphere, everything. Wonderful and generous portions, we highly recommend it!!!

Amazing place we discovered from Spain serving Dutch food. And the waiter, Mateo, was fantastic and also speaks Spanish.

Okay. But the meat was overcooked and a bit sinewy. Frozen fries.

Great food and nice all Dutch menu to try. Recommended!

Welcoming atmosphere, quality food, and a super attentive and friendly waiter who speaks Spanish.

Among my favorites in Amsterdam because they specialize in local cuisine and we finally found a menu in Spanish. It has an outdoor terrace. High-quality ingredients, beautiful presentation, and generous portions. For dessert, I had three vanilla ice cream balls with rum-soaked raisins and meringue. The service was quick and the staff was especially friendly. They spoke to us in Spanish. I recommend the tomato soup and the pea soup, the Slavinken (a meatball wrapped in bacon, served with delicious boiled potatoes, green beans, and sauce), and the fresh Dutch herring with beetroot and spring onion salad. Stop by this place and enjoy some Dutch food. You'll love it.

Good service. Food was delicious 😋

If you're looking for a place with authentic Dutch food, this is the place! Excellent food, great service, fast, and super friendly! Thank you ❤️

We went to try some Dutch specialty dishes. Even at 8 pm, there were still many people waiting, so it's a popular place and reservations are a must. We had a stamppod, which is mashed potatoes topped with something like a beef patty. It wasn't too salty, so even the kids enjoyed it. They also had a simple watercress salad, which wasn't on the menu. It was the perfect size for sharing.

Amazing food. Nicely plated and taste was amazing. Get to try the traditional Dutch cuisine. 😍😍

Dutch specialties in a warm setting.

A great experience for sampling Dutch cuisine. Located on a restaurant street near the Van Gogh Museum, it's worth a visit. The atmosphere is a bit chaotic, but that's okay! The bill was good too!

If you’d like to try local delicious food it’s the best place to do it

Delicious food, great and friendly service. Highly recommended. We had a wonderful dinner.

We waited for 30 mins for our food and it didn’t taste good. I’m sure it was the right restaurant since I saved the restaurant in my google map.

Great traditional Dutch lunch with the family!

very nice experience, food was very good, service nice and quick. We got a table by the window and enjoyed the street view.

Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the food. I ordered the entrecôte steak and specifically requested it to be cooked medium rare, but it was served well done. This is a basic cooking standard that a chef simply shouldn’t get wrong. Additionally, the pepper sauce served with the steak was not actually pepper sauce, it was a completely different sauce

I was able to get a seat right away at peak dinner time. I got the stamppot. The food was really good.

Finding such authentic Chinese food in the Netherlands is truly touching! The braised chicken in a large plate was cooked to perfection; the chicken was tender and flavorful, the potatoes soaked up the rich sauce, and paired with green and red peppers and onions, the savory sauce perfectly replicated the taste from back home. The portion was generous and filled the plate. The spicy duck blood soup was glistening with red oil, the spiciness and savory flavor perfectly balanced, the tripe crisp and the duck blood tender and smooth—a generous use of high-quality ingredients. The dishes weren't modified to cater to foreigners; they retained the authentic, hearty flavor of Chinese cuisine. The restaurant clearly puts a lot of effort into controlling the taste. Finding such a reliable Chinese restaurant in a foreign land soothed my homesickness. The price and taste are both excellent, making it a top choice for overseas Chinese seeking comfort. It's already on my list of places I'll definitely come back to!

Top restaurant - Dutch food - reservations recommended if you're coming after 6 pm.

Good food, especially the stamppots

What we had was a complete disappointment, unfortunately. The potatoes were very hard and unsalted, the meat tasted more like cafeteria food, and the steak was described as having "mushrooms," but there were none to be found.

On July 5, we had dinner with our family at this restaurant. We are very pleased with the quality of the dishes, the aesthetics of the presentation, the speed of service and the very friendly atmosphere of the restaurant. The restaurant is small, but very cozy. The liver with apples and onions was incredibly tasty! Juicy, well-cooked. The steak and sausages (kale) were in no way inferior 😊 Everything is delicious, fresh. The portions are generous 😊 We are full and satisfied. So delicious that we didn't even order dessert 😊 I apologize. Thank you to the entire restaurant team.

I'm very disappointed. We were looking forward to a nice dinner. First of all, we received a message about an hour beforehand asking if we could still keep our reservation. Since we were out and about, we didn't see it, and when we went to sit at our reserved table, we had to wait because there wasn't one available. Having already eaten in the food halls earlier, I thought a starter described as "substantial" for €21 would suffice. What a joke. Five slices of ham, five slices of sausage, and ten small pieces of cheese with cheap mustard from a tube, plus a small bread basket. It was the most expensive "nothing" I've ever eaten. After that, I ordered a burger, which wasn't particularly good either. All in all, a real disappointment. The waiters were trying, but they weren't exactly old-school. I'm surprised by how busy this place is.

The typical local food was good, but the service was very chaotic. We had to wait 25 minutes for dessert and ask for it twice to get it.

Delicious! We really enjoyed trying Dutch food, and I definitely recommend it.

Very generous portions, super friendly waiters. A very pleasant surprise with this place.

The place is very pretty, with a typical Dutch feel thanks to the paintings. It has long tables that are perfect for small groups to sit together. The waiters are very friendly and even spoke Spanish. The food is delicious, just like it looks in the photos, and be sure to save room for dessert—the apple pie is exquisite.

This place has air conditioning!!!

Says they're open until 11:30pm on Wednesdays on google, but they turned us away at 10:30pm saying their kitchen was closed.

Outstanding. Dutch traditional restaurant, very professional service . Recommended

Great place to try local Ditch favorites

Where you go, you eat. Blauwe Hollander is a good place to stop for traditional Dutch cuisine. We tried two versions of hutspot, one with meat and the other with sausage: simple, home-style dishes with straightforward flavor. A good experience, with prices that make it worth trying. This style of cuisine isn't entirely to my liking. The service was adequate and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Our first time trying traditional Dutch food and had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. Would recommend it to future guests. Try booking on The Fork for a potential discount depending on your time and party size.

This place was open when The Pantry was too busy. The stamppot was excellent as was the bitterballen. Food came out super fast.

My first time trying Dutch food. We ordered one pea soup, one round croquette, and one kale potato salad with sausage, and shared them. Everything was delicious. The pea soup, in particular, was very tasty with bacon in it. We were able to enjoy a leisurely meal. The portions are quite large, so I recommend ordering several dishes and sharing them.

Nice place, good traditional cuisine. Everything was bland, prices high but in line with theirs. Full of Italians. Young service.

Good Dutch restaurant. The food is good, but not exceptional. The country isn't exactly renowned for its cuisine. Pleasant service, but a bit rushed.

Everything very good and typical!
