The 38 Essential Amsterdam Restaurants

"Music plays a major role at Cornerstore, a collab between a handful of vets from popular spots like Café Binnenvisser and De Klaproos. At the minimalist space in Amsterdam Noord (north Amsterdam), a cabinet behind the bar is full of vinyl, which lends superb music to meals of natural wines and pan Asian-inspired dishes bursting with fresh, fermented, umami-packed flavors. Vegetables are the lead singers in most items, while fish and meat form a background chorus. Order small plates to share, or enjoy the attractively priced 10-course chef’s menu. Don’t forget to put on your dancing shoes; midway through supper the music turns up, before the tables are cleared away altogether for guests to dance toward evening’s end." - Monique van Loon

"“Recently opened its doors, with a super nice concept, great food, and superb selection of wines. The interior is well done with light art by Nikki Hock. They don’t do reservations. My advice: come early.” (Hock also created the light installation for Wandler’s presentation, “Without Light There is No Color.”)"

We went for the 7 course menu with the meat and fish. Every dish was a delight and carefully prepared. The main dishes were delicious. The natural wine collection also didn’t disappoint, although could have a few more options.

Wow, what a restaurant. Excellent staff. Amazing food. Also the vegetarian meals where amazing. As it was a interesting journey for your taste buds this is recommended for every person, also the non-vegetarians. Also amazing setting with a DJ popping on Saturday with a slow mellow background vibe. Would definitely come back here!

The flavors are well achieved but the experience is not very satisfying at all. It's OK but on the spicy side, and the family style concept is not that generous. The quantities are a bit confusing, some dishes are 1 for each while some are not and the portions are not very big so it's hard to share. For example we got 2 duck legs for 3 people but 7 pieces of eggplant and 2 rice?😅 I think it's a better experience as a couple than as a friend group. The wine list is very interesting and the servers are very nice.

LOVE - Incredible food, every dish was so unique & had been perfected to a T. The restaurant its self is very aesthetically pleasing, beautiful layout and ambiance. The service was the cherry on top - Lucas was amazing and even wrote us a list of his favourite recommendations in Amsterdam. I’ll definitely visit again 💛

We always walked past this little gem and saw the nice lighting and sometimes a dj playing music, and then finally we had the time to try it out. It’s just been a few weeks since we were there and I’ve already made another reservation again. cornerstore is just amazing. The food, the vibe, the service. All of it was seriously top notch. The food is creative and unbelievably flavorful. We had some of the best oysters ever here, better than at some michelin star restaurants. Their take on ceviche was mindblowing. The fried cauliflower is pickled first and you could taste it, so good. All in all, amazing and super comforting flavors. I’ve never had creative dining experiences that made me feel so cozy and comfortable. And tbh, cs is basically fine-dining without the price tag. Its not cheap but you get an insane value for your money. I mean 50€ for 5 courses is just really fair for Amsterdam. thats what makes cs great. It’s unpretentious, and it’s super good. I wish I had tried it a little sooner. Try it out. I will go again for sure.

We made a reservation at 8:15 but had to wait almost an hour for our table outside, where it was cold and windy. Service was slow and food took ages to arrive. Wine was overpriced for what it was. Most importantly the music is WAY too loud - we could not hear ourselves think or have meaningful conversations. They also placed us at the epicenter of the speakers. The food was slow to arrive with pretty small portions for the price but it was tasty - though not spectacular. My chicken, unfortunately, was dry. The fish was very good though. Charged an arm and a leg for two slices of bread cut in half, which we ordered a portion of because the food took for ever to arrive and it was already 10PM and we were hungry - we felt manipulated into paying for bread and wine while waiting for our table and food because the service was so slow. Waiters were nice, but experience was not good. Would not recommend this for groups

We feel scammed :/ My girlfriend and I were really looking forward to trying Corner Store as it was highly recommended. However, we were thoroughly disappointed. Paid an expensive prefix for two, but we were served as though we were one. Preposterous portions. Cool concept, lovely atmosphere but I just felt I needed to provide a heads up on what to expect. Also noted a nut allergy and she still got sick after the meal, really unfortunate.

This place is worth prioritizing in Amsterdam. The menu was exceptional, the music vibey, great ambiance, and the wines were fantastic. We got the vegetarian prix fixe menu and added one extra dish to share. We would’ve been fine with just the prix fixe, but definitely don’t skip the brioche…. The lotus root and the sweet potato tempura were both amazing. The sesame noodles were perfect. The brioche was standout. The yuzu cocktail was a bit too light. The desserts were both absolutely phenomenal and with a little Armagnac… just as the DJ started spinning, fantastic end to the night. We had an early reservation but I’d recommend 7:30 or 8:00 to better time with the DJ starting.
