The Perfect One-day Itinerary in Amsterdam

"Visiting the Corner Store in north Amsterdam felt lively and casual with minimalist decor, bumping vinyl tracks, and vibrant bites; the pan-Asian-inspired menu pairs well with a hefty selection of natural wines, and it's great to share plates like tempura kale, lotus root pickles, and cauliflower with black garlic—or opt for the chef's tasting menu that takes you through eight courses." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.

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.”)"

Loved the ambiance and the atmosphere, service is a little slow but the staff is very friendly and kind. The food can be a little unique and personal. I loved most of the courses but some of my friends weren’t big fans. The dessert course however was a massive hit.

I loved the place , the vibe and the aesthetic . The food was good but not great. I liked what i ate but was nothing impressive or outside of the ordinary. Last but not least, our main waiter was a bit arrogant and impolite. My friends made a comment more like a joke, about us receiving some plates combined and not per person, and they said that it is a bit confusing and he replied: "No, not at all "with an attitude which i didn't appreciate. But i have to say that the rest of the staff were super sweet with good energy and vibes.

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.

Another great evening at Cornerstore! The creativity of the dishes- and drinks- doesn't stop amazing me after by now multiple visits... and the vibe is great. Lovely and knowledgeable staff. I can highly recommend Cornerstore!

Stopped in here on a recommendation for dinner one night. Was able to reserve a table on the way. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and tasty dishes. We really enjoyed the vinyl being played from their custom sound system. Still talk about this place over a year later - If you are in Amsterdam you must go 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.

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.
