• Cafe Papeneiland - Begin the journey at Amsterdam’s renowned Dutch ‘bruine kroeg’ (brown pub), where participants can savor the famous homemade apple pie with a preferred drink, just as Bill Clinton once did. This is a perfect way to start the tour in a relaxed atmosphere, meet fellow participants, and hear intriguing stories, such as why the Dutch don’t consider apple pie a dessert and why they enjoy it in a brown pub. The guide will also share insights into the history of Amsterdam and the Jordaan neighborhood, where the tour unfolds.
• Vishandel Centrum - Experience one of the most celebrated Dutch delicacies: Dutch herring. Discover its significance in Dutch history and the rise of the “Golden Age.” Taste for yourself why this is a culinary treasure, contrary to the cliché stories you may have heard. Additionally, try the popular hot Dutch fish dish “kibbeling” (fried cod) and the unique Dutch smoked eel. Both were once considered poor man’s food and are now regarded as true specialties.
• V.O.F. Butchery T.F.M. Louman - Explore one of Amsterdam’s most renowned butcher shops, located in the Jordaan since 1892 and owned by the Louman family for six generations. Here, you will experience the authentic Jordaan atmosphere while tasting the finest ‘ossenworst’. This is a smoked raw beef sausage with oriental spices, crafted in the early 17th century by Amsterdam kitchen maids as a luxury delicacy for wealthy Amsterdam merchants. Additionally, sample a typical Dutch ham, pork sausage, and salted beef.
• Cafe Tabac - Enjoy a tasting of one of the most significant items on the Dutch-Indonesian ‘Rijsttafel’ (“rice table”) Satay Ajam, prawn crackers, and pickled vegetables, served with a beverage.
• Café Nieuw Amsterdam - Conclude the tour at another remarkable location, the “birthplace” of New York. In this former headquarters of the Dutch West India Company, the colony of New Amsterdam was governed, which began with the construction of Fort Amsterdam on Manhattan Island. Brooklyn, Wall Street, Staten Island, and many more places still directly reference Dutch history in New York. Learn all about it while enjoying the famous ‘bitterballen’ and a refreshing drink, such as a local Amsterdam beer or ‘jenever’, the precursor to English gin.
• Bourgondisch Lifestyle Amsterdam - We take pride in our wonderful food partners and friends who create and sell the most delectable Dutch delicacies. Bourgondisch Lifestyle is an especially unique location we will visit. Not only do we have exclusive access to their special tasting room in a centuries-old Amsterdam house, but here you will also find top Dutch and international cheeses. Owner René and his team purchase, mature, and refine over 300 different cheeses, selling them to numerous top restaurants both domestically and internationally from their “cheese fortress,” an early 20th-century bunker outside Amsterdam. All these cheeses are purely artisanal and sourced from small local producers. Sample four different Dutch cheeses (generous portions, not small bites), including the renowned Gouda cheese, paired with a delightful wine and crackers.
