Best New(ish) Amsterdam Restaurants in 2023, Amsterdam, Netherlands
I probably say this every year, but in 2023 I feel like Amsterdam outdid itself in terms of the quality of food and breadth of restaurants on offer. Usually, my annual Top 10 is made up of some newcomers plus several old favourites that I revisited during the year. This time, however, the majority of these actually opened in 2023 (or possibly late 2022) which speaks to the culinary creativity and quality sweeping the city.
From fine-dining ramen and gaijin cuisine, to outstanding Peruvian and Nepali restaurants, to wine bars that punch well above their weight, Amsterdam genuinely offers something for every flavour of foodie.

The service continued to be beyond friendly, while the interior glowed with a warm, convivial atmosphere that was part ski chalet, part French bistro, part Dutch caf茅. The food was casual but creative: the signature dish appeared to be the Giethoorn eel with crispy potatoes and a horseradish foam. We were sitting at the bar, and must鈥檝e seen hundreds of these聽paling聽towers being prepped in the kitchen in front of us. It was salty, sweet and mildly fiery from the horseradish, and went perfectly with a glass of German Pinot Blanc. We stuck with the fishy theme, continuing with a聽velout茅聽of clams, mussels, crayfish and sea lavender, with a hint of spice from 鈥榥duja. I also loved the lobster with an antiboise of baby artichokes, cherry tomatoes, creamy bisque and zesty orange. Be sure to ask for a peek inside Troef鈥檚 wine cellar as well 鈥� it鈥檚 an oenophile鈥檚 dream. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
