De Ballenbar

First time trying bitterballen and De Ballenbar's tasting platter gave me a good idea of the dish. The inside of each bitterballen is similar to that of a paste. The bitterballen sauce is reminiscent of a honey mustard. Love the little flags they put on the toothpicks :) also reasonably priced for a tasting platter. Overalll the meal was decent for tasting but it was a "once and done" kind of meal. I don't think I would get it a second time.

It was a very interesting experience. The presentation was nice! I enjoyed the beef and truffle flavor

I mean, the food itself is okay. It was served too hot, but the real issue was that the cook dropped my food and then said, “We clean our counter very often.” I had to insist that it be cooked again. That is not acceptable. For the owners: this happened today between 14:00 and 16:00.

Great ways to try Dutch food, I got the platter which was great for €15. Well, at least it was the roast beef one with my favorite being the truffles and others. I would come back.

It's fine. Some of the flavors hit and some of them miss. I don't like that the beef is pureed rather than minced or an actual meatball.

On our first trip to Amsterdam, we knew we had to try bitterballen, and De BallenBar was the perfect place to experience them for the first time. These little bites absolutely lived up to the hype! The flavors were fantastic, with each ball perfectly crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside. While all the options were great, the truffle bitterballen stole the show—it was rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. They came with one sauce, but we opted to add the truffle mayo as well, which was the perfect pairing. The pricing felt reasonable and the ambiance was great considering it is inside a food hall so there were lots of drink options around us. Must try!

Great bitterballen selection. I enjoyed the tasting platter. Nathan is friendly and professional .Excellent customers service.

good bitterballen inside the market. service can be definitely improved, but overall great experience.
