Chosen on how they source and cook, not on who paid to be seen.
Amsterdam is a city that never runs out of places to eat. The hard part is knowing which ones are worth it.
We curate on values only: how a place sources its ingredients, how it cooks, and whether it holds up on health, impact and quality. Restaurants cannot pay for a place in the guide or for a better score, so there are no sponsored results to wade through. These four sit on our Amsterdam list, spread across the city, from casual neighbourhood spots to more considered dining.
Amsterdam
In Amsterdam West, a weekly changing menu of seasonal dishes, from smoked trout to robust vegetable plates, alongside natural wines and local cheeses.

Mexican cooking with a stated commitment to local sourcing, from the vegetables through to the wines, with plant-forward dishes at the centre.
Amsterdam
A new menu every day, built around what is in season and available in the Netherlands, with vegetables at the centre of each plate.
Amsterdam
Latin American cooking over open fire in Amsterdam North, built around vegetables and herbs with carefully sourced fish and meat alongside.
Every restaurant above has a Food Identity page showing how it sources and cooks, and the evidence behind each finding. Follow any name to see it.
We don't advertise restaurants. We research how they source, cook and care, and show you what we find.
