Restaurants and bars in Amstelveen

Ron Gastrobar Indonesia

Ron Gastrobar Indonesia's restaurant is the perfect place for a summer meal with a terrace that overlooks the picturesque bank of the Amstel River. The menu celebrates the Indonesian ‘rijsttafel’ or rice table: a bountiful parade of small signature Indonesian dishes accompanied by rice. There is also an à la carte menu with five varieties of satay sauce.

Aan de Poel

Aan de Poel holds two Michelin stars and is known to be a shining fixture in the Amsterdam Area’s fine dining scene. Highlighting seasonal produce and local flavours, the restaurant also holds a collection of over 600 wines. Adding to the culinary experience, the restaurant has sweeping views over De Poel Lake. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy the views of the setting sun at this beautiful location.

ANNA Proeflokaal

Monasteries and churches have long been associated with beer brewing, and the tradition is revived in Amstelveen's former St. Anne's Church, where the ANNA Proeflokaal (Tasting Room) of the Naeckte craft brewery resides. With 25 beers on tap and various bottled specials, you can soak up the atmosphere as you repeatedly postpone that last beer. The bar also gives space for art with regular pop-up exhibitions, ranging from photography and video to performance or painting.

Tanuki

Amstelveen and nearby Buitenveldert have a sizeable East and South Asian community, reflected in the many specialised supermarkets and restaurants. For Korean, Chinese, Indian and Japanese cuisine, the choice is enormous. One of our favourite spots is Tanuki, a traditional izakaya serving bento boxes, ramen, rice bowls, skewers, sushi, sashimi and a wealth of other umami snacks.

De Amsteltuin Vineyard

The Amsteltuin Vineyard is home to 3,500 vines of five grape varieties which grow on more than one hectare: Solaris, Johanniter, Souvignier Gris, Pinotin and Cabernet Cortis. Guests are welcome to enjoy a high wine basket in the heart of the winery or take a tour with tasting on the terrace days.

SAAM

SAAM combines the best of South African and Dutch gastronomy in collaboration with Margot Jansea. The restaurant offers a 5-course menu that can be enjoyed with views overlooking the Amstel River. A special SAAM Roast is available on Sundays.

Jonge Dikkert

Dine in an authentic 17th-century windmill, De Jonge Dikkert, in beautiful Amstelveen. The restaurant offers a range of chef’s menus from 3 and up to 7 courses to suit various tastes and budgets. The chef takes advantage of Dutch products by transforming them in unusual ways, often by using Asian influences.

Amber Garden

Enjoy upscale Chinese cuisine in a chic and modern setting at Amber Garden. With a particular focus on authenticity, the chefs honour traditions while introducing Western influences through textures, freshness, balance, and more. Amber Garden urges you to explore Chinese food through a shared table where flavours can be combined for the most impact. A multiple-course Compass menu is also available to introduce you to the four culinary regions of China.

DAY Tapas Bar

Mediterranean cuisine and local hospitality collide at DAY - a vibrant tapas bar in the heart of Amstelveen. The innovative menu is bursting with flavours from Spain, Italy and further afield with a range of delicious sharing bites and substantial mains such as burgers and steaks. Wash all this down with one of the house specialities - a sharing pitcher of homemade sangria.

De Buren

Centrally located in the Old Village of Amstelveen, De Buren is fondly referred to as the living room of Amstelveen. The menu offers something for everyone including vegetarians, vegans, the little ones and true gourmets. For lunch, tuck into soups, sandwiches, burgers and salads with more substantial mains - think pastas, risottas, daily changing fish dishes and much more - offered during the evening. Of course, you can also just swing by for a drink, and don't miss the regular live music sessions on a Sunday afternoon.
