The 3 best places to have Lunch in Amsterdam
Let me tell you why this city is a great city for the best lunch in Amsterdam. For centuries, has been a cultural melting pot. Originally a large harbour, it was a place where international cultures mixed with local, and as a result, an open, diverse, and unique culture was born, especially in the realm of cuisine. And I’m sure if you are visiting Amsterdam, you would enjoy having lunch in cafes or restaurants that are different and that you would not usually discover alone. So here are 3 exquisite luncheries that I really love, and let’s dive into my favourite places for the best lunch in Amsterdam.
1: Secret Garden Lunch in Amsterdam
My first pick is Dignita in Hoftuin (They have 3, but this is my favorite), nestled away in the garden behind the H’art museum, a great museum to visit also while you are here. Surrounded by beautiful architecture, gardens, and a large oak tree, it is a beautiful spot. What makes it even more special is that I have been here many times and eaten something different and I honestly can’t say which dish was the best, as they were all so amazing. The menu is diverse, well-considered, and perfect if you are looking for a healthy meal and a unique take on a lunchtime meal. Definitely worth a visit for the location and the food.
2: Spirited Approach to Lunch
My second lunch spot is Spirit, a wonderful endeavour, a place where the owners decided that they did not want to waste food. So they gathered the best organic ingredients, created a lovely buffet of fresh and incredibly delicious food. To encourage their customers to eat only what they want and waste no food, Spirit charges for their food by weight. A lovely place to eat lunch and take care of the planet. You have a wide choice and increadble food. A not-to-miss place for the best lunch in Amsterdam
3: Culturally Open and Delicious Lunch
Our third stop is No Man’s Art Gallery. This is a one-of-a-kind place with extraordinary food. I have been here many times and it never fails to impress me, with incredible, unique tastes and high-quality food. I don’t even know how to describe it is so unique. It is a bit out of the center and in a neighborhood you won’t visit so easily if you are a tourist. It gives a different vibe and you get an idea of how most Amsterdammers live. So it will be a real local experience. They have a lovely garden in the back to sit and have lnch. It is a great place for lunch, but also for dinner and breakfast. They have an art gallery next door, so check out what they have on. A not to be missed place for lunch in Amsterdam.
4: High Tea on a private boat
I wanted to give you an extra idea to have lunch. Why not go on a private canal cruise and order a high tea? Amsterdam from he canals is truly unique, and it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We can also extend it to a proper lunch sailing by 3 different restaurants and pick up some wonderful food. Check below our tour and when you check out add the High Thea.
