We had split pea soup (and a few other things) and it was the best soup we've ever had. So good. The other food was great as well. They brew their own beer and it was excellent as well. Service was very nice. Multilingual menus as well. read more

Service was good! Food was REALLY good! Bathrooms need attention time detail. But for sure we would visit again!

Best place for authentic Dutch staampott. Been here twice and will recommend to anyone visiting! read more

The pantry I came here with my husband to try out some Dutch food. We ordered the special #1 and #2. Menu 1: Pea soup - good, but not spectacular or special in any way. 3 mounds - they had certain flavors such as sauerkraut, kale, and one other one. They were decent. Vlaflip - my husband described it as dannon yogurt. And he's kinda right. :/ there was nothing really special about it Menu 2: Goat cheese croquettes - these were actually good, and I don't like goat cheese. Guess that's what happens when you deep fry anything though Ground beef, cauliflower, and mashed potatoes - just like shepherds pie. It was actually kinda bland, but it felt healthy due to the cauliflower. Really filling. Poffertjes aka mini pancakes - was the highlight of our meal Overall I would say that 1) the decor is cool 2) it's a very touristy restaurant 3) the food overall wasn't that good / maybe I'm just not super into Dutch food. 4) service was quite slow 5) maybe was a bit overpriced for what it was I would not actually recommend this place. Also the fact that cigarette smoke from the outside kept coming in was very bothersome read more

Small restaurant serving traditional Dutch food - get reservations to avoid waiting!! Got the following: Bitterballen: 4 stars, piping hot and full of flavor. Could make a meal out of these. Enjoyed the pairing with whole grain mustard Oven bake with ground meat and cauliflower: 3 stars, tasty, but unremarkable. Needed salt. I stole some braised cabbage from my husband and that made it taste a lot better Beef stew: 3 stars, came with mashed potatoes and braised cabbage. The cabbage was 5 stars. The rest again was tasty but unremarkable, and needed some punch The dessert was the best: 5 stars. White chocolate mousse and chocolate ice cream, in addition to a little eggnog custard and fresh whipped cream. Delicious read more

Super busy and the place is small, so call and make reservations. Great wine and beer menu. They have set menus for food that include appetizer, main dish, and desert or you can order traditionally from the menu. Bitterballen was great Pea-soup w/sausage was ok Combination with meatball: the meatball was ok and the hutspot was great Savory beef & onion stew was more on the sweet side, mashed potatoes were great Vlaflip was very good, sweet from the custard and sour from the yogurt All great but we were seated outside in the cold because we didn't make reservations. So make sure to sit inside where it's a bit tight for us bigger people. Even though they get busy the servers here are very nice and accommodating. read more

Speedy service and very amiable staff. The food was delightful. Ambiance great although we sat outside.

Forgot where I found out about The Pantry, probably on TripAdvisor. Great spot to grab traditional Dutch food. The Pantry is a small, cozy place with amazing ambience and service. We came in for an early dinner after a long day of walking around. This was one of our favorite spots in Amsterdam! Great selection of dishes and drinks. First time trying bitterballen and it was great. SO got the combination hutspot and I got the oven dish (cauliflower, beef, cheese, mashed potatoes). We loved our experience here! Would also recommend the Apple Bandit cider which was quite refreshing and not too sweet; it was better than expected. read more

Good service, ambiance, food presentation. I think it's a solid place to try traditional Dutch food, just my taste buds aren't impressed by most European fare. They have preset menu choices which is nice. From menu 1, my favorite was the pea soup with sausage. The stamppot (sausage over different mashed potatoes) was just ok to me, several reviews laud the sauerkraut mash, and if you love sauerkraut you'll probably quite like it (alas, not a fan here). Dessert was a light yogurt/custard. One of my friends tried menu 2 which featured croquettes, something resembling shepherd's pie, and poffertjes (mini pancakes). All decent, and very good portion sizes (none of us were able to finish everything), and I'd say definitely worth a visit if you're on vacation and want to sample Dutch food. read more

This place is tiny and packed to the gills. We literally had to hold our breath and squeeze in to our seats. The food is traditional and filling--huge savory meat balls, sausages, and different potato mash with either kale, sauerkraut, or carrots and beef. You can even get a plate where you sample all three (around 13 euros). They also have a prix fixe menu, too, starting at 19 euros, that includes soup and a dessert. The pea soup is also good and comes with rye bread and "bacon"--which is more of a thick raw-ish looking ham. We ordered the salad with walnuts, pear, and goat cheese and it was great. For dessert they serve a yogurt parfait with honey that we did not try, but seemed to be very popular. We had the plate of quarter-sized tender pancakes dusted with powered sugar and they were a good way to end the meal. Service was curt but friendly. read more

The line between tourist friendly and tourist trap is a thin one. The Pantry blurs the line with acceptable if boring Dutch cuisine and €5 water without an option for tap. Beef and onion stew was a highlight and sea bass was a low. Desserts were all nice. read more

I went to the Panty off of the recommendations of three friends who had been here before. They raved about this place and told me how much they loved it so I had to give it a try. We went kinda late and it was before closing time that we arrived. Thankfully we were seated and had a great meal at this place! The food is fresh and they cook the food super fresh for you. I had the Goulash, and tasted sausage and also had a trio of meats. Everything tasted great. The best thing is the owner who was also a waiter told us how this place started and how it is a big family here. I would for sure go back to this place and try more on the menu! It is very Holland inside and the food is tradition Holland fare! I highly recommend this place! read more

We've never eaten Dutch food before but eagerly had an early dinner here because of the great reviews. We stopped by around 6 pm or so on a Thursday and were seated without a reservation. It was already starting to get busy and full inside The Pantry. The menu has a ton of pages in different languages which was nice! Appetizer - we got goat cheese croquettes. They were pretty good but tiny for the price. I got the combination platter that had all 3 types of mashed potato mixes plus your choice of sausage or a huge meatball. This was a tasty dish & I liked having the variety of mashed potato -- one with kale, one with carrots and I think pork, and one with sauerkraut. The sausage was good too. My wife got the baked potato dish - basically like a single person casserole or a Dutch version of shepherds pie. It was pretty good as well. This was our first foray into Dutch cuisine and we were pretty pleased but overall the offerings were quite heavy and filling. Basically a meat and potatoes theme. For dessert we got the mini pancakes with powdered sugar and butter. They were good but not amazing. read more

Arrived a bit early 10 mins prior to reservation time and we were told that our table wasn't ready yet, and that the prior guests were "just finishing up". Unfortunately there is no area inside to wait, and we had to wait outside. By about 10-15 mins after reservation time, we were finally able to come in and be seated. The restaurant is quite small and very crowded. The tables are incredibly tight, and with a group of 6 it was nearly impossible to get in without having to get others to shift around. Once we were all seated, menus were distributed and drink orders taken. The place was very busy (ie: all tables full) and there were 2 servers. The servers were very busy and if we wanted something we definitely had to flag our server. Food was ordered and despite the full place, the food was on the table in short order. I had ordered the Typical Dutch Ham, and my wife ordered the Hutspot served with a smoked sausage or a meatball (she went with the meatball). The Hutspot is served with mashed potatoes mixed with stewed beef, carrots and onions - which it like a mashed potato with stuff mixed into it. The Typical Dutch Ham is basically a Ham Hock, that is cooked to perfection. The Ham falls away from the hock, and is juicy and tender. The mustard that comes with it a honey mustard with a nice amount of heat to it. My wife's Hutspot was delicious as well. Neither one of us could finish our meals as the serving sizes were huge. Overall, I really wanted to give this place 5 stars, and maybe on a quieter night it would have been. Having to wait for a reservation that was made just makes me crazy. Our servers seemed far too busy to be friendly, or to offer up better service. With the restaurant being full it was also very loud and with everyone crowded in, it was anything but cozy or intimate. The food here is fabulous and there is no doubt about that. I would definitely go back, but preferably on a night that is less busy, or in time where it's not completely packed. read more

Wife and I stopped in here for some traditional Dutch cuisine! The bittaballen was fantastic, its like Swedish meatball gravy thickened enough that it can be rolled into a ball, breaded and fried... WOW! SO good. The strong mustard that comes along with them is vinegary and that cuts through the fattiness that allows you to taste the full array of flavors. Stunning. We also split the traditional fish plate and sausage plate. You need to be an adventurous eater to truly enjoy the fish plate. We liked it, didn't love it but we're happy that we tried the specialties of the area. Good beer and food prices, helpful staff and awesome atmosphere. Highly reccomend. read more

Delicious Dutch food! I found this place on yelp and told hubby to meet me there after the RAI conference. We were seated outside on the patio in an alley. I ordered their special which included one sausage and mashed potatoes prepared in 3 different ways. Everything was delicious. Hubby ordered steak with veggies. He enjoyed his dish. I ordered a split pea soup and my kids devoured it. The dessert yogurt dessert was yummy too. Service was efficient and friendly. They had a problem processing our credit card for some odd reason so we had to pay with cash. When we were leaving a family was looking at the menu and I told them that the food was fantastic so they quickly took a seat outside. However the waiter came and told them that all the seats were reserved already. Wow...good thing we came when we did! read more

Great and friendly service. Dutch food is very good. It's a must do when in Amsterdam.

Stopped by for a bite to eat after visiting the Rijksmuseum, and it was absolutely wonderful. Very cozy, lovely staff, and delicious food for a very fair price. The Hutspot with sausage was incredible, as was the rest of my family's meal. I highly recommend The Pantry, and I hope to visit again! read more

We had to try Dutch food while in Amsterdam so we stopped by The Pantry. We were unable to get seated on a Thursday evening so we made a reservation for two for Monday evening. The staff was very nice each time despite how busy they were. Now... Dutch food. Our tour guide mentioned that the Dutch are not necessarily known for their food and that everything was either mashed, boiled, or fried. I ordered the Hutspot (mashed potatoes mixed with stewed beef, carrots and onions) served with a smoked sausage or a meatball and my husband ordered the beef stew dish. The Hutspot was like a kielbasa with mashed potatoes. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but nothing amazing. Same applies for the beef stew - I feel like we whipped something similar in a crock pot one time. I suppose this is what it would be like if I stopped by a Dutch grandma's house and had dinner. The ambiance just felt cozy (or gezellig, if you will) and the seating was close together. Overall no complaints at all and would ultimately encourage others to experience Dutch cuisine this way. read more

This might have been my favorite meal in Amsterdam. From my research, it was one of the few places to have a true Dutch meal. Otherwise, I was finding lots of German and French food. For that reason alone, it's a must go to place. We ordered two traditional dishes. The first was hutspot, which is a mix of beef, potatoes, carrots, and onions. The second was a dutch beef stew. Both were excellent. Prices were reasonable (15 euros for the main courses and 5 euros for wine/beer). The atmosphere and service is wonderful. read more

Had the menu #2, the goat cheese croquettes were amazing. The baked dish reminded me of a shepherds pie, it was absolutely delicious. The service was also outstanding. And it a real nice place. Make sure you get a reservation well in advance if you want to go for dinner. For lunch we needed to book 3 days in advance. read more

Amsterdam isn't exactly a culinary wonderland but it has some local flavors you shouldn't miss. The Pantry serves up typical Dutch cuisine with some of the friendliest service you'll find in Amsterdam. I went for the zuurkoolstamppot which is Sauerkraut mixed into mashed potatoes with a sausage. Nothing exciting to look at but it was actually pretty delicious. If you're in Amsterdam I'd highly recommend making reservations and give the pantry a shot. read more

If you want delicious traditional Dutch food with cute decor and friendly service, this is the spot! Thanks to yelp, we were able to locate our next food adventure. Of course in the Netherlands, you'll have to try Dutch food! We got the famous dish... Potatoes. The ménage à trois of mashed potatoes will offer you the most interesting flavor profile you can have - sauerkraut, kale and sweet potato/carrots/onions! All three tasted amazing with great flavors and the right amount of richness. Some mashed I had was way too buttery and it gets gross. Not this one. We also had the beef stew and goodness it was so tender and delicious! I cleaned my plate and so did he! It's also a great place to try some local Dutch beer! The only disappointing thing was the yogurt/parfait kind of dessert. It was a bit to melty and nasty. We didn't finish it. The decor was very cute with a lot of different lamps by the door and their famous Delftware on the wall. All the staff there were friendly too and were proud of what they served. We had a great evening there! read more

Tip: WiFi pw is pantry1234. Loved it! My traditional Dutch dish of a sausage and three types of mashed potatoes was delicious. Even though the place was super busy on New Year and I had no reservation, they did their best to accommodate me and others in my situation, telling us we could have tables until X time when guests with reservations were due to arrive. There was also the option to sit outside. While I waited about ten minutes to be seated, they started to prepare my food so that I wouldn't feel rushed once my table was cleared. Very efficient. The staff was charming--engaging and friendly, all smiles. They were happy to chat lightly and to explain the cuisine. I noticed that, between them, they speak at least three languages, which is incredibly handy in the center of the city. I should emphasize that this place isn't swamped with tourists. I saw locals for sure. read more

Refuses to give free tap water, and charges over €4 for a bottle. This is purportedly to "keep prices low". You know what would lower costs? Not wastefully buying and selling Coca-Cola brand bottled water, and instead serving tap water - a free resource (not to mention human right!) Inexcusable business practices to squeeze more money out of people, backed up by poor excuses and lies. This is pure greed. Do not patronize this restaurant. read more

We came to the Pantry around 6pm during the World Cup game. Most people were at the sports bars so we were able to get a table for two fairly easily. We were really glad because a lot of people tried to come after the game ended and the wait was around 4 hours! I don't know a whole lot about Dutch food so I wasn't expecting much. However, I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered the Hutspot and the oven baked cauliflower with ground beef (I can't remember the name of the dish for the life of me). The waitress actually suggested the cauliflower dish and I was so glad! It was delicious and VERY homey, which I really appreciated. There is limited seating outside (only 6 seats total) so most of the restaurant is inside. We were able to get a seat outside so we could see the streets. It is very traditional Dutch food so be sure to try it out if you are around. I would either go early or get a reservation because it does get a bit crowded. They do offer two set menus if you wanted to taste an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Overall, great service (they were very attentive and super nice) and great food. read more

Eh, this place was okay. Came here on my first night in Amsterdam since I was starving and got a table in a small, but packed, restaurant. I didn't know what to order so I got an item on the traditional Dutch section of the menu. Turns out it was 3 different types of mash and a sausage. It was interesting and a completely different flavour profile than I'm used to but it wasn't anything to write home about (but Yelp is a different story lol) Maybe I need to try something else, or maybe Dutch food isn't my thing. read more
