The Journey
Brown Cafe
Step into a traditional Amsterdam 'brown cafe,' a cozy pub known for its warm ambiance and centuries of history. Here, you'll taste the famous homemade Dutch apple pie, a treat once enjoyed by Bill Clinton. These iconic establishments, named for their dark wood interiors and walls stained by years of smoke, offer a glimpse into Amsterdam's social heart. Enjoy a non-alcoholic drink, draft beer, or glass of wine as you soak in the atmosphere and discover why these cafes are an integral part of Dutch culture. For an enhanced experience, upgrade your drinks to sample local craft beers, Dutch Jenevers (gin), prosecco, or a cocktail.
Luxury Delicatessen
Experience a slice of daily Amsterdam life at a luxury delicatessen. Mingle with locals as you partake in the Dutch tradition of ‘een broodje halen’—grabbing a fresh sandwich. Indulge in their signature 'Broodje Grillworst Speciaal': a freshly baked baguette filled with warm, flavorful pork sausage, topped with honey-mustard sauce, mayonnaise, pine nuts, and arugula. Served with a soft drink of your choice. Vegetarian options are available. This is more than just a meal; it’s an immersion into Amsterdam’s culinary scene and a chance to connect with the city's residents.
Holtkamp Patisserie
No visit to the Netherlands is complete without trying a 'bitterbal' or 'kroket'! At a location featuring delights from the renowned Holtkamp Patisserie, savor what is widely considered one of the best: the Holtkamp garnalenkroket (shrimp croquette). These iconic Dutch snacks are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, offering a burst of flavor with every bite. If you prefer, delicious beef and vegetarian versions are also available. Discover why these snacks are a beloved part of Dutch culinary heritage and a must-try for any visitor.
Private Cheese Tasting Room
Elevate your cheese experience beyond the tourist-trap cubes and delve into the world of artisanal Dutch cheeses in a private tasting room. Discover the true meaning of Boerenkaas (farmer's cheese) and taste the remarkable difference between mass-produced cheese and raw milk Dutch cheese. Paired with a selection of excellent wines, this experience offers a sophisticated and immersive exploration of Dutch culinary excellence. Learn why Amsterdam's top chefs feature these cheeses on high-end restaurant menus and savor the richness of authentic Dutch flavors.
