Herring Stall Jonk in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

Great for a midday snack. Local and delicious. No seating area, but the bistro tables are adequate. Thanks.

The perfect place to try the famous Dutch herring! The fish is incredibly fresh, tender, and literally melts in your mouth. Served traditionally with pickles and onions, it’s absolutely delicious. The service is quick and very friendly. A must-visit spot in Amsterdam

We stopped by as part of a food tour and got to try typical herring and kibbeling. Both dishes were delicious and we would definitely come back!

Please note! Your ‘fresh’ kibbeling is heated up here in the microwave (!). You are paying the price for fresh kibbeling that should be prepared in the deep fryer on the spot.

If you don’t mind Salmond instead of Herring (despite our order) with additions slapped on top, then this is the place for you. Not sure how a high rating was achieved here. It was late in the day so perhaps the server was completely fed up with tourists.

Delicious. You should try this, even if you don't normally eat fish. The herring is surprisingly mild in taste

Fancied some fish when wanting to grab a quick bite of Dutch food in Amsterdam city centre and this place did the job, location in the middle of the street sticks out! Menu options are listed with pictures that accurately match the food and waiting time was not long as the orders were kept on top of, staff member explained how the stick in the food is used instead of a fork before I ordered. Pickled Herring was filling and delicious, gherkins and onions at the side gave some additional flavours!

Fish is fresh and delicious. Very good price.

The broodje haring at Jonk is everything Amsterdam street food should be cool, silky herring, barely cured, laid over a soft white roll with a fistful of raw onion and a few bread-and-butter pickles for crunch. No fuss, no sauce needed. It's clean, briny, a little sweet from the onion, and gone in about four bites. Whoever's behind that stand knows exactly what they're doing compliments to the chef, this is the real deal.

Amazing, the herring sandwich is so good I had two. The guy working there is very professional and fast.

Unbelievable quality of food and service! Must visit every day several times!

This is just incredibly delicious, I regret that I came only on the last day of my stay in the city.

A small stall with excellent fresh seafood! Service was quick and friendly

Best herring we ate in Amsterdam, maybe in our life. Recommend

Good, and classic. But the bread was solid

Excellent classic Amsterdam fish sandwiches. 100% recommended!

It's not a flavor everyone will love. Personally, I really enjoyed it. The price is also reasonable. Even if you don't expect to like it, give it a try.

Super fresh herring and super friendly staff! Don't miss the traditional Dutch break!

good food stall for herring and fried cod. friendly server. no seating, as expected for food stalls.

Syas it closes at 17.30. Turned up at 17.00 and turned away as "closed".

Kibbeling and herring are served here. Go for it.

The Soused herring was not for us but we tried it! The Fried Cod (Kibbeling) however, was amazing!

Fresh herring and friendly service. I understand it's Amsterdam, so higher prices are expected. (Normal price between 3.25 to 3.75 per stuk) However, the herring it had been premade rather than freshly prepared.

Both the herring sandwich and the fried cod were to my taste, so I praise them.

The herring sandwich was fine. But probably no one is really getting excited about kibbeling from the air fryer.....

The raw herring was amazing, so much better than what you get at the supermarket! A serving without bread was 4 euros. It wasn't too salty, very fatty, and had no bones. The accompanying raw onions and cucumbers were just right to cut through the richness. This place is fantastic; I highly recommend trying it if you're ever in the area!

Raw herring was three euros a serving, it was so delicious! It was my first time trying it, I bought two servings!

Tasty harring sandwich but not exceptional

Top 1 Amsterdam's most famous herring stands. Order Broodje Haring (herring sandwich) or whole herring with onions & pickles. Taste good with the marinated fish and fried cod.

The herring was fresh, soft and very tasty. Nice combo with a fresh white bread, cucumber and onion. Very recommend this place to try the traditional Herring Sandwich (Broodje Haring).

Very good and good service! I recommend!

The pickled herring, called hering, is delicious. Even my wife, who doesn't like sushi, enjoyed it. It's served with or without bread. It comes with pickles and finely chopped raw onions. Kibbeling is the fried version, and it's fantastic too. It's a great place for a quick snack.

Tuna Sandwich very delicious Thank you chief 🙏🙏

Very nice place with super tasty traditional fish street food. I highly recommend to visit this place and get to know new tastes. The only thing that disappoint me was that serving stuff forgot to change gloves after taking money, small mistake but very important. Best wishes for this place and for sure in future I will visit it again.

A new way to taste herring. Minimally salted with amazing added pickles 😋 and onion.

Great matjes with onion and cucumber pickles.

We tried Haring there it was absolutely delicious and the prawn croquettes were really yummy as well!

This is NOT good! Not how you should experience dutch cuisine! They reheat the fish in an airfryer and are not kind!

Kibbeling are heated, unfortunately not fresh.

The herring sandwich was raw, but the flavor wasn't as strong as I expected, and it didn't smell bad either. You should try it; I personally thought it was delicious.

Be sure to try the herring here. It's cheap and delicious.

Can't say much on atmosphere, as it is just a take away stand, but this was our first stop in Amsterdam. The bun was super soft, and the sandwich had just the right amount of onions and pickles. I make it a point to try a very local dish everywhere we travel, and this was one of the more adventurous choices. I thought it was really good. My husband, not so much. It isn't as fishy as I expected. I'd have it again.

Really good fresh herring and fried fish.

Highly recommended! Delicious, fast, and €5.30 each.

I had the classic herring sandwich. It tasted very good. The fish was super fresh, fatty and slightly salted. Very simple sandwich yet delicious. Every ingredient matches well Highly recommend, it costs 6.8 euro

We came across Haringhandel Jonk by chance while walking by and noticed there was a line, so we decided to stop and try it. It turned out to be really good. The herring was not nearly as smelly as people say, and the grey shrimp sandwich was also very nice. Overall, highly recommended.

Very disappointing experience. The food itself was decent, but the service was extremely rude. The old man was throwing the food together with no care and had a very unfriendly attitude throughout the entire interaction. What made it worse was that after serving us, they closed and immediately asked us to leave the table, leaving us standing outside with our food. We understand businesses have closing hours, but there is no reason to treat customers this way.

3 times during 5 days in Amsterdam.

It's hard to describe the atmosphere; it's just a food stand, but the service is very efficient and polite. Fresh herring and bread, delicious pickles.

I always try a new food in whatever country I travel! 10/10

Fresh herring , simple yet very tasty snack

Excellent herring at a street shop. 4 euros per portion in a bun

May 26, 2018 - My last day in Amsterdam. I found a street food stall with pretty good reviews. The herring sandwich was quite unique; it didn't have a nasty fishy smell, but it did have some very soft, small fish bones. It didn't affect the eating experience, but it did affect the texture. The fried cod chunks weren't a large portion, suitable for one person. After ordering, they'd be reheated in an air fryer, so you had to wait a bit.

Amazing seafood stall. The stuffed breads are highly recommended.

Nice place to stop for a snack. Fresh haring

Super tasty, but two tiny pickles on a sandwich is a crime 🥲

By far the worst fish stall in Amsterdam! Shameful what they serve there and they still dare to charge money for it. Been there twice to give them a second chance. The first time I had an eel sandwich and it was a very small piece of eel of about 15 by 2 cm where the taste of bread stood out way too much and you could barely taste any bread for 7 euros. The day before yesterday I had something else hoping that it would be better, which I thought was impossible. Had a portion of kibbeling and that made me even more flabbergasted. It looked delicious in the window but in practice it was prepared in an air fryer. In the entire portion I saw 2 pieces of fish measuring 2 by 2 cm and the rest was just fried dough that was also full of fat, and that for 6.50. Scandalous that they dare to sell that and that you get served so hypocritically!!!

Best herring ever!!! Must have every time we visit Amsterdam

I ate herring and kibbling. The herring was very delicious. The kibbling was average.

This is my go to for herring in Amsterdam. More affordable than other places and quality is always good.

Don't go when it's about to close, or you risk being shut out without being served. The food, however, is truly delicious and worth a try! The herring and fried cod are recommended!

The best place to grab some herring!

It tasted good, the price of 5 euros was worth it to try it. The combination of pickles, onions, fish, and bread was very nice.

The herring burger was indeed delicious and worth trying.

It's so deliciously pickled! The flavor is amazing! 😍 It has a rich, thick texture. The texture is great! It goes well with raw onions and cucumbers. The cucumbers are very fresh, sweet and crunchy, and they don't overpower the herring flavor at all.

A lovely place where you can grab a quick seafood sandwich.

The herring and the snert (split pea w ham soup) were delicious. I had the herring Amsterdam-style so cut, with onions and tasty mildly sweet pickles on the side and eaten with a toothpick. Darn tasty and the snert was terrific! They only get 4 starts for service because while the line moved quickly, the guy who waited on me was grumpy. The nice lady waiting on others was super nice, but I got grumpy guy. Still, not to be missed, herring was spot on!!

The goto herring stall in Amsterdam

Undoubtedly a culinary highlight! Delicious snacks prepared in the traditional style. The stand is very popular and therefore very busy, so you can expect to wait. A great tip for enjoying Dutch herring 😊

Had an unforgettable stop at Herring Stall Jonk in Amsterdam, wow. The sardines and salmon were hands down some of the best I’ve ever had. Incredibly fresh, clean flavors, and prepared so simply that you really taste the quality of the fish. What made it even better was the service, the staff were warm, kind, and genuinely welcoming to tourists, which made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. If you’re in Amsterdam and want something authentic, fresh, and absolutely delicious, this place is a must.

It's a matter of personal taste, but I wouldn't recommend the herring sandwich or anything else. They top it with a huge amount of onion and you can't taste any other flavor.

Delicious herring sandwiches. The kibbeling are also a real treat. We went there twice in 5 days 🤤

I've honestly never seen cold kibbeling (fried fish) at a fishmonger's counter, only to have it air-fry when you place an order. And then you have to wait five minutes for your fresh fish to come out of the air fryer 🧐. I tried it and returned it to the Volendam fresh fishmonger. It was nice that I got my money back immediately. It's a shame, I was really craving fish...

I tried it for the first time, it's an unusual flavor, I definitely recommend you try it. It's also very affordable and budget-friendly. €4.90

Delicious! Nice seller and quality product. Herring is very tasty and fresh.😍 It would be good to put a heating lamp near the tables in winter, because it is cold in winter, but it is normal.

Delicious sandwiches with herring, pickled onions, and sour cucumber. A local must-have.

Excellent! Tasty and truly authentic Amsterdam seafood experience for a quick bite.

Good product, good price Haring broodje very Good for 4.5€ Fried fish good for almost 6€ You can also find salmon broodje

Good but I had better in elsewhere in Amsterdam

Very tasty cod bites with tartar sauce, the cod was tender and fell apart. Batter is nicely seasoned.

We stumbled upon this place while exploring Amsterdam and wanted to try some classic Dutch food. The herring and other fish dishes were fresh and truly delicious. The herring sandwich was especially nice. Because it's in a central location, in a busy tourist area, there can sometimes be queues, but they move quickly. Generally, you order takeout and eat it while walking nearby. The seating area isn't very large, but it's quite suitable for this type of street food.

I learned it’s family owned and run. The parents opened the business decades ago and the son took over the business, but on the day I went the son “hired” the parents back lol. Herring - not a huge fan. It’s served cold with pickles and raw onions. but cool to try something authentic Kibbeling (fried cod) - really good. not as greasy as English fish and chips since it uses a light batter. can really taste the fish. at least 4.5/5

It's successful. For those traveling with children or those who can't eat it raw, there's also a fried option.

We tried it with some prejudice, but we really liked it. I recommend you try it while you're here.

Excellent seafood, friendly staff. There's always a line at this cafe.

The freshest fish. Friendly staff. Prices are still OK.

Best Brodje herring that I’ve tried in Amsterdam:)

I had the kibbeling. The fish was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside; it was truly delicious. The accompanying sauce complemented it beautifully. I recommend it.

Very good herring very fresh bun, I ate three

A great place to try the few typical dishes of Amsterdam cuisine. Good value for money.

Amazing herring sandwich for a good price.

The herring I had that day was not as good as some of the other places I've had on my recent trip, however still a yummy meal (the pickles were ok). The Kibbeling (fried cod) was yummy! They use an airfryer to heat it up so its not extremely heavy. Friendly staff! There's a lot of choices here for seafood, I wanted to try everything lol 😭

It's cheap, delicious, and highly recommended. The herring has no fishy smell, and the pickles and onions add a nice accent, making for a well-balanced sandwich.

very tasty harring. a bit pricey tho. kibbeling was not fresh unfortunately. still a cute place to try duthc fish.

Peak herring (haring) experience. The haring sandwich was absolutely perfect. Fresh fish, onions, pickle, soft bread. Excellent.

Super lekker! One of the best :)

If you're in Amsterdam, you have to come here! The herring sandwich is simply amazing.

Spectacular herring, very very good

Delicious sandwiches, fast service.

I visit this herring stall every time I'm in Amsterdam and I have tried different fish with them. Everything was good and the seller takes the time to explain what he has👌🏼 They have also bar tables to eat at so you don't need to search for a bench in the street!
