21 Apr 10X NEW RESTAURANTS IN AMSTERDAM YOU WANT TO CHECK OUT
Is an ongoing thing in Amsterdam, new hotspots. They are like freakin’ mushrooms popping up, but you don’t hear us complaining!
We’ve selected the best new restaurants in Amsterdam that have just opened or will open soon so you have plenty of new things to try.
Massalia Restobar, beukenplein 21
Massalia Restobar, The little sister of eye-catching terrazzo bar Gitane in West, opened its doors in East. A place where Greek and French cuisine come together. Feta, squid, BBQ lamb are some products that you find back on the menu. You feel the Mediterranean atmosphere the minute when you arrive. Massalia Restobar has a spacious relaxed large terrace and a pretty inside area where you can enjoy next to food great wines and cocktails. We’ve tried it out ourselves and the food is ok, but it still needs some extra care.
Bennie’s, Helicopterstraat 28
What started as a joke on a night at the bar, turned into a pop-up restaurant, and now Bennie’s is here to stay. Named after his fiancé Benthe Liem, owner Isidoor had zero experience in the hospitality scene. However, good food and wine had always been apart of his life and so his passion turned into a reality. The 200+m² restaurant in the Schinkel district looks serene and simple, and modern. There is no need to attract the influencers that come for a screaming interior, the food speaks for itself. Their so called “killer wine list” is impressive to say the least, and Chef Rick Swinkels makes each dish a feast. Open seven days a week from 12 till 12. Go check it out!

Italian ‘Nonna’s’ are known for their amazing food, and that’s exactly what owners Thijs and Tijn wanted to deliver.

Restaurant Novi, Middenweg 35
Italian restaurant Novi will open its doors in Amsterdam’s Watergraafsmeer neighborhood in April. Novi (also the name of Elke’s daughter) will be a real neighborhood restaurant for families. In good Italian fashion, the focus is on the quality of the food and drink; not on trying to be as hip as possible.
Jacob, Bilderdijkstraat 217
Early April, Jacob’, a new restobar opened on the Bilderdijkstraat in Amsterdam Oud- West. It used to be the former location of Bar Dapper, so that might ring a bell. Collaborating with some of Amsterdam’s beloved food and beverage initiatives, Jacob will be a place where good food goes hand in hand with casual conviviality. The people behind Jacob are the same as cafes Weber, LUX and Helmers, are stepping into a new culinary chapter. Oh, and unimportant at all; they have an outside terrace!

Krusta, Europaplein 13
Pizza, but not just pizza. At Krusta you can come for Southern European starters, homemade pasta’s and yes, pizza. There’s a cozy bar where you can go for dishes and flavors from Italy, Spain and Greece, prepared with the best products and cooking techniques that you might not easily expect at a “pizzeria.
Riot, Amstelveenseweg 7
If you love potatoes, you must visit Riot! Part of Conscious Hotel City, Riot is a shared-dining restobar where creative chefs transform potatoes into real showstoppers. Of course there are potato croquettes on the menu, but also think oeufs mayonnaise with potato roulade and chives or a croissant of potato with duxelles, broad beans, bundle mushrooms and walnuts. Don’t worry, there are plenty of other dishes to choose from, minus potatoes. All dishes and drinks are made with organic ingredients sourced from trusted, local suppliers. In doing so, the kitchen follows the 80/20 principle, meaning the chefs work primarily with vegetables, with occasional forays into sustainable and local fish and meat.
Café Cress
The newest in Amsterdam-North. An open kitchen with a relaxed all-welcome vibe where you can feel at home. What do they serve? Good food for an affordable price with a small menu that changes weekly. Come over for lunch, drinks or diner.
No- Yusu, Korte Papaverweg 17
We’re staying in the Northside, and although this isn’t a new restaurant in Amsterdam, this coffee spot (with some food) is worth a mention. Yusu already has a coffee spot in Amsterdam West, and is known for being the cool kid on the block. Now, they are making Amsterdam North worth traveling across the pond for.
