Parakeet Amsterdam

If you’re looking for high-quality Mexican Nachos and light food in Oud-West, Parakeet is the spot. It’s a cozy, local favorite with a great atmosphere. It is near De Hallen. The Highlights: The Nachos: Hands down the best in the city. The homemade nachos are incredible, especially the pulled pork (The Vondel). Portion Size: Be warned—the portions are huge! The "half" portion is more than enough for one person. The Drinks: They serve fantastic Margaritas (perfectly balanced) and have a surprisingly good selection of non-alcoholic cocktails if you’re looking for a mocktail. Know Before You Go: The seating is limited and it’s a very popular spot, so I highly recommend making a reservation if you’re coming in the evening. Perfect for a casual dinner or drinks with friends. Definitely a 5-star experience in Amsterdam West!

amazing restaurant next to foodhallen with a lovely terrace perfect for the summer. varied appetizer menu and snack options. the sweet potatoes are very nice, the cauliflower can be skipped (too much honey for our taste)

Shared the pulled chicken nachos with my friend and it didn’t disappoint it was a great snack! Really surprised with the quality and how good they tasted. We both ordered drinks and they were just ok. Not our favorite. But besides that all was good

I wanted to go out, so I went to Parakeet!🎼 All the food was so good, they were bringing all the heat!🎼 And the music was amazing, I was bumping to the beat!🎼 And staff were so nice, so this night needs repeat!🎼

Amazing place which we love coming back to each time. Hidden gem in Amsterdam. Great cocktails, great nachos and great service. Due to our own fault we accidentally overpaid on tipping and they went out of their way to pay us back - which was highly appreciated. Don’t hesitate - just go there :)

I went here on a recommendation from a friend. It was so delicious and cozy. It is a small restaurant so reservations are necessary. But I think this adds to the appeal of this place. The bar is meters away from your table so you get the added benefit of watching the bartender shake up some fantastic cocktails. The wait staff are all very friendly and especially helpful on recommendations. This place is about Nachos and I love that they make their own corn (no gluten, added bonus for me) tortilla chips. From the first bite of my tasty Erasmus nachos to the last I was in heaven. The cocktails were the icing on top. I can't say enough good things about this place... You must go if you are a lover of Mexican food.

This is a gem in Amsterdam serving amazing cocktails and loaded nachos. The drinks were amazing and the chef was very kind to explain the food and slow cooked chicken and pork nachos were delicious. Highly recommend for a good relaxing time and enjoying some good old cocktails with great company

Service was really good, which is a rare sight for Amsterdam! The cocktails were okay, but I am quite picky with my flavours and love having cocktails. If you just like a cocktails very now and again its fine but I won’t be returning for their drinks to be honest. The nachos were really good - we had the Vondel. Our table had all the cocktails across the menu throughout our reservation slot and the best one in my opinion was the smoky Paloma. We needed to reserve a table and we could hold the slot for 2 hours and then needed to move on for the next group. They were crazy busy and many people came with reservations. Overall the place had a nice vibe but not enough for me to want to reserve, go for 2 hours and then leave but I personally don’t like jumping between places if I found a nice spot so maybe that’s just me. Staff were really top notch and I could see going back for this ☝️ Overall a good experience and would recommend trying them out if they have space but not that special to stand in a que in my opinion.
