The Pantry

We loved the Dutch food, the atmosphere and the service. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. They have set menus, very good value. They offer vegetarian version for some of the menus. It is advisable to book in advance as it is really busy.

Service was friendly. Make sure you make reservations because walk in queue will have an hour wait. We ordered the set meal and happy that they have variety of sets. Generally, we enjoyed the meal. But the fish did not do for me. I find it too bland. The fish was cooked perfectly though. Desserts was good.

This tiny restaurant is perfect for when you want to taste the true Dutch cuisine. If you’re looking to experience authentic Dutch cuisine in a warm, intimate setting, The Pantry is a must-visit. This tiny gem delivers hearty traditional dishes that live up to the hype. We tried the sausage, which was cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and paired beautifully with classic Dutch sides that were equally satisfying. Be aware: seating is limited, and we had to wait for nearly an hour since we didn’t have a reservation. That said, the wait was worth it. Once seated, the service was decent and the food arrived quite quickly. A charming stop for a no-frills, authentic meal—just plan ahead if you’re on a tight schedule

We were lucky to get a table as a walk in. Really wanted to enjoy a traditional meal while in Amsterdam and this did not disappoint. The croquettes were excellent. My wife & I tried the oven dish which is kind of like a Shepard pie. My daughter had the sausage & kale mash potatoes. The desserts were both tasty. I really enjoyed my caramel ice cream with caramel waffle. Cozy atmosphere and friendly service.

My wife and I stopped here for lunch and were lucky to get a table without reservation/wait. The food was exceptional and the atmosphere was fantastic. I highly recommend stopping in and trying the various Dutch foods (of course start with the bitterballen!)
