Jordaan is the creative hub of Amsterdam, and the locals who call it home make it one of our favourite neighbourhoods in the city. Step away from the tourist traps into this historic district and it’s generations-old family run shops and cafes.
Taste the rich tapestry of Dutch culinary treasures, from the classic indulgence of Apple Pie and artisanal cheeses to the hearty Bitterballen and a vibrant selection of ethnic dishes, celebrating Jordaan’s multicultural legacy.
Stroll beside picturesque canals and through quaint alleys with our knowledgeable local guides, experiencing the essence of Jordaan one bite at a time. Discover hidden gems and stories of this district’s fascinating transformation, all while savoring flavors that are as diverse and storied as the neighborhood itself.

Good food, questionable guide

3.00My friend and I enjoyed the large portions, and many types of traditional Dutch dishes, however, our guide was not great. We ended up being a group of 6 (all from the US) and our guide constantly talked politics regarding the US and international affairs. Definitely not what we signed up to hear about. The food was fantastic and we definitely left full, but we paid for a food tour not a political speech.
Eat, learn, and be merry!
