Best Seafood Restaurants Where to find awesome seafood in Amsterdam

Among all the interminable talk about food trends such as ramen, doughnuts, poke bowls, and avocado everything, it’s easy to forget that Amsterdam is a port city, and for much of its culinary history a big part of its residents’ diet came from the canals and the nearby North Sea. Built as a harbour situated on the IJ river.

And while Holland is perhaps most famous for its mussels (yes, those mussels you once had in Brussels most likely originated in the Netherlands), there are plenty of fish in the North Sea, and Amsterdam has so much more in its repertoire than merely mussels. If you’re looking for cod, sole, oysters or shrimp in a traditional or contemporary setting, the offerings are endless. That’s why we’ve navigated the wild waters of Amsterdam’s seafood scene to find you the city’s very best, from Michelin-starred must-visits to casual hidden gems, and we’ve included restaurants in a great variety of neighbourhoods. Of course, with pollution and the overfishing of the oceans and the related decimation of local populations of delicacies like eel and salmon, comes greater responsibility, which is why many of our selections include sustainable options like responsibly caught fish and by-catch.
