Amazing staff with amazing food! I cannot recommend this place enough but I do recommend making a reservation as they do stay full. The atmosphere is very homey and the staff make you feel very welcome and are super genuine. The best meal I've had in Europe during my vacation, loved the shrimp croquettes and the sea bass with mashed potatoes and veggies were delicious. My boyfriend had the hutspot with sausage and the portion was huge, he ate the entire plate. Lastly the caramel ice cream With caramel waffle and whip cream didn't stand a chance lol if I'm ever back in Amsterdam I will make sure I come back! read more

What a gem. It was my first time trying Dutch food so I was both excited and hesitant. The staff were just so lovely and attentive, someone was always there smiling and laughing and it helped create a really cost, homey atmosphere. I had the beef and onion stew and I thought that all the elements combined played very well with each other. If I had to complain, the only thing would be that the meat was a bit tough, but nothing absolutely crazy! I also had the apple pie, which was great. read more

We were lucky as we were able to get seated within 5 minutes. This is a popular spot to stop by if you want a menu with traditional Dutch food. There is limited outdoors seating. We started our meals with some bitterballen. For the entree, I had the small sole fish filet. If you don't like bones in your fish, I wouldn't recommend this dish. If you don't mind, it was a good lighter dish compared to all the beef stews on the menu. We ended dinner with apple pie. I would definitely recommend it. read more

Excellent food and friendly service. We had the bitterballen, beef stew with mash and cabbage, and combination hutspot, boerenkoolstamppot, and zuurkoolstamppot with sausage. Washed it down with their homemade trippel. Everything was delicious and our plates were cleaned! Will be coming back here again to try the rest of the menu. Thanks for your hospitality! read more

Food was excellent we had the menu 1 and everything was tasty and hearty. We added 2 started and shared my husband and I and were very full. My favorite bites were the sausage in the main dish and the goat cheese croquettes read more

Great location for post museum meal. Just a few minutes walk from the Rijksmuseum. We sat outside at this charming busy spot, and had a hearty meal as we watched the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam go by. The blankets provided on the back of each chair was a nice touch- and were being used by most. . We selected one of the daily specials that started with goat cheese croquettes on a bed of greens, then to a traditional Dutch dish of cauliflower, ground beef, potatoes, onions in a creamy curry, cheese sauce that was outstanding. It was served piping hot in an oval Ramekin. Perfect for sharing and hearty enough for two. Dessert was Dutch pancakes with butter and powdered sugar. Service was fantastic, cheerful and very attentive. Can't wait to go back before the end of our holiday. read more

Good traditional Dutch restaurant. The service was definitely nicer to us once they found out we had a reservation. Before that, they just kept bouncing us between people saying "oh my colleague will talk to you" when none of them wanted to talk to us lol. The food was def hearty Dutch food and I got thr hutpot with sausage. The sausage was super salty and the gravy and potatoes were bland, so together they made a good combo. The bitterballen tasted a bit over fried, either fried too long or fried in old oil, had that kinda burnt taste. Partner liked the fondue here better than in Paris. Slightly different cheese and he preferred it here. read more

So amazing!! Staff is so amazingly friendly! We were lucky and got an outdoor table fairly quickly. I got the oven dish and the bf got the combination. Both dishes were simply amazing! We got the vlaflip, which consists of yogurt, custard, and syrup, and it was interestingly delicious. It does tend to get busy and the inside was very tightly packed, but so worth the wait to get some traditional food! read more

Should be 1 star but friendly service 2 stars. Food here is atrocious, the worst restaurant I've had in Amsterdam by a LONG SHOT. Any menu with multiple languages is likely horrendous. Against intuition, i came anyhow wanting "local dutch" Large portions, fried, low quality ingredients. Go elsewhere. It's also not cheap. THE FOOD: - bread: not good, crusty, or homemade - fish platter: smoked eel, tiny shrimp and herring. Herring almost made me throw up lol texture was awful - goat cheese salad: couldn't eat, goat cheese was too strong - sea bass: weirdly textured, served with buttered boiled (frozen?) vegetables - mashed potatoes: microwaved? Hard on the outside, soft on the inside - mini pancakes: highlight of the meal. Only thing I really ate TLDR: do not come here! Unless you only come for pancakes. Lolll read more

Dear Craig, What a gem! If you're looking for an authentic meal from Amsterdam this is the place to go. You better be hungry too because the portions are large. We started with soup. The Tomato soup was great, not creamy which is the way I like it. After trying the split Pea soup, there is no question. You've got to get the split pea soup. Flavors were string and delicious. The soup comes with a strange yet tasty bread, deli meat and spicy mustard The cheese fondue had a beer flavor to it that was unique. Must try. For the main meal we had sausage and sauerkraut. The sauerkraut was mixed with potato...I think and was amazing. I would like to go back and try the meatball instead of the sausage next time. The sausage was a link and not my favorite. The staff was so kind and inviting. Jack read more

This is a gem of a little restaurant in the heart of Amsterdam, not far from the Rijks Museum. They serve traditional Dutch cuisine. We went for a late lunch at about 2:30pm with no reservation and scored the last 2-top outside on October 26 (to note: they don't take lunch reservations, but they do take dinner reservations - highly recommend reserving a table for dinner). We began our meal with two hot starters: Bitterballen (beef croquettes - 6 for 5.95€) and the Dutch shrimp croquettes (3 for 7.75€). Both were served piping-hot and very tasty! For our entrees, we each tried the combination: hutspot, boerenkoolstamppot and zuurkoolstamppot (14.75 €). The combo comes with a choice of a sausage or a meatball - we tried one of each and split them. What are these items, you ask? Hutspot is mashed potatoes with stew meat, carrots and onions; boerenkoolstamppot is mashed potatoes and kale; and, finally, zuurkoolstamppot is mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. I favored the hutspot and sausage; my man favored the zuurkoolstamppot. It was a great way to sample it all. And, did it take a few minutes to get our food? Yes. However, it is homemade, not mass-produced...slow down and enjoy the people watching and conversations! Sadly, we were too full for dessert or even coffee... Next time, I want to try their fondue - it is an individual pot of traditional fondue, served with bread and veggies for dipping and a small salad. Our server, missed his name, was quite impressive. He switched from Dutch to French to English without batting an eye. He also explained the dishes and seemed to truly take pride in his work and the food. He also gave some Dutch tourists directions and recommendations for other places to visit. Perhaps he is the owner? Two thumbs up all the way. The ladies room - very, VERY clean. Five stars for this gem! read more

There are a lot of choices to eat around here. Across the street is Italian that boasts "it's simply the best" and the place outside with a rowdy table has Dutch mussels and fries for 10 euros. So, why come here? Well, Yelp says it's good Dutch traditional food. It looks cute inside, may be 1930s style with porcelain plates and tassled fake candelabras on the wall, despite it only being open since 2000. As with all traditional restaurants, The Pantry does a bustling tourist trade. Is that good or bad? Neither. Everyone's having fun, and they welcome lone diners like me. In fact I even lucked out and got a window table on a pleasant late summer night ( no rain, 60F). If you don't might the occasional waft of cigarettes coming into your meal it's a nice spot. I ordered combo of hutspot (mashed potato with beef and veg) boerenkoolstamppot (mashed potato, kale and bacon) and zuurkoolstamppot (mashed potato with sauerkraut). It was tasty, although a bit salty, esp the bacon dish. I got the yogurt and custard dessert which was as it sounded. An odd combo, but tasty. You're supposed to mix it together, but I ate it separately. All, in all a nicer dining experience than the other places in this area. The host / server was really friendly and humorous. The place as packed. I tried another Dutch restaurant in another part of town and it was better, but more expensive. read more

Amazing meal! Do make reservations. We arrived early but table was available just exactly at the reserved time. The place is small and cozy and staff is extremely friendly. The menu comes in several different languages. We opted to go a la carte; combination of fish (FYI shrimp cocktail is small shrimp not what you imagine as large cocktail shrimp), the sea bass, and beef stew. We also got the apple pie with ice cream added on. All of it was so delicious and piping hot! Loved the comfortable and welcoming atmosphere here for a traditional Dutch meal. Will definitely make our way here again one day. read more

We had an enjoyable dinner at The Pantry on our first evening in Amsterdam. We wanted to visit at least one restaurant serving authentic Dutch food on our trip, and I am glad we chose The Pantry. The food was delicious, the ambiance was cute and cozy, and the service was great. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation in advance! The Pantry has a great prix-fixe menu available, where you can select from four cost-levels, each including a starter, a main course, and a dessert. We selected several things to share off the extensive menu, ordering ala carte, as we were looking to try as much as possible. The beer and wine list was really nice; we selected two local beers and started off with the bitterballen and the Combination of Fish, which was smoked eel, Dutch shrimps, and salted herring. The smoked eel was by far my favorite of the three, but they were all tasty and cool to try. The bitterballen was delicious as well. We split an order of the Combination of hutspot boerenkoolstamppot and zuurkoolstamppot and requested the smoked sausage and the meatball. Each of the hutspots were nice and unique, however the one which appeared to be sauerkraut was my favorite and was fantastic with the smoked sausage. The dish was hearty and filling - 100% comfort food. This dish was large enough for us to share with both the sausage and meatball, in addition to the appetizers we chose. We ended up too full for dessert. If you're visiting Amsterdam, go out of your way to try more traditional Dutch food. The Pantry was a great option for this, and I would especially recommend it to anyone visiting The Netherlands for the first time. read more

It is not easy to find a traditional dutch food restaurant in the netherlands. But, i now found it. The restaurant prepares the food i ate while growing up. While surrounded by a kitsch amount of dutch painting and delft plue tile and dutch music on the radio, i enjoyed a steak. Hostsare friendly, and prices are ok.

There was too much augurk in my augurk, not authentic and too many children that where annoying so 3 stars.

It's really all about the ambiance, which is tight, but homey and cute. The staff was friendly. The food was great, but you know.... Lots of potatoes in various formats and for meat and potato folks, this is dreamy. We all enjoyed our meals and would recommend. You'll need reservations. read more

Our hotel's concierge recommended this place to us and after walking for a lot longer than we expected, we were EXTREMELY pleasantly surprised with the place. It's not huge but we were able to get a table really quickly. The servers were attentive and very nice. While we were ordering, my wife and I each ordered one of the specials, and when I asked if that was too much food the waitress told us while she'd love to sell us a ton of stuff, what we ordered really was too much...so we scaled back the order and had the perfect amount of food. The soup we started with was great, and the croquettes were amazing - crispy on the outside and incredibly flavorful throughout. The main course was a variety of three types of potatoes and an enormous and really delicious meatball. We were told before going that there weren't that many traditional Dutch restaurants like this left that focused on what I guess would be Dutch 'soul food' or food one's grandmother would have made, and our server mentioned something similar while we were there, too. I'm really glad we stopped in to try the traditional food first and I'm extra glad The Pantry is still doing what they're doing because they're doing a great job. read more

Very tasty food, reasonable price and good service. We ordered both the shrimp croquettes and the goat cheese croquettes. Of the two - I would recommend the cheese croquettes, note there are only 3 per order 6,75 -7,50 per order. I opted for the sea bass at 18,95 and the portions were huge, two huge filets of sea bass - perfectly cooked and well seasoned. My partner opted for the chicken satay which was good - the sauce was similar to the peanut sauce you might get with summer rolls at a typical Vietnamese/pho establishment. Overall, we were not disappointed and did not leave hungry. I would recommend a visit read more

My girlfriend found this place on Yelp while we were walking around the freezing city and had no idea what we were having for our early dinner. Thankful that she did! It was our first delicious meal in Amsterdam and one that I will not forget. The Dutch steak was extremely delicious as well as the chicken satay entree that I ordered. My dad asked for a local beer and they brought out La Trappe Dubbel and Tripel. We preferred the Dubbel, it is really delicious and nutty! It is also darker than the Tripel, which kinda threw me off, but tastier nonetheless. read more

I was visiting Amsterdam for a few days with family and we were looking for quality, traditional Dutch food. I'm so glad we found the Pantry. The first night we came, they were fully booked, so we made a reservation for the following evening. Definitely make a rezzo if you're going for weekend dinner! We ordered all the classics: the shrimp croquettes, split pea soup, Dutch sausages combo with bread, and the sausage with 3 types of mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious and well prepared. A few of the Dutch sausages were unique tasting--I think one was liver? And the shrimp croquettes were on the smaller side, but that's nitpicking. We also ordered the seabass fillet, which was good, but not quite on the same level as the other dishes. Maybe should have gone for the Dutch steak instead. The atmosphere is very cozy inside, tables are quite close together but not uncomfortable. Service is very friendly, all the waiters speak English and provide English menus. Customers appeared to be a good mix of locals and tourists, so you know it's not a tourist trap! Would definitely recommend this place for dinner to anyone visiting Amsterdam looking for authentic Dutch food. read more

I lucked out and got a reservation for 6:30. We arrived at 6:15 and we were seated. The menus came and we ordered a Dutch wine and a aperol spritzer. The soup was out of this world. Thick, rich, a few pieces of sausage. Yum The ham sandwich was different a bit fatty but the mustard was the bomb. The croquettes were rich, creamy and I would definitely recommend it. We were enjoying our appetizers when all the lights and fan went out. Next was a happy birthday song and the whole restaurant sang. Special meal 1included a meatball with 3 different kinds of mashed potatoes. One with carrots, one scoop with sauerkraut and the other with kale. Great stuff. The wife had meal # 2, cauliflower and a ground steak some cheese and a seasoning that is like cumin, who knows it was delicious . They were both great. This place is legit real Dutch food. The specials came with dessert. Pancakes for dessert are you nuts, but it was sweet like a donut. I had the custard, I didn't like but my wife really enjoyed it. Who knew. I ate her mini pancakes dusted with powdered sugar. Bottom line, come but make a reservation. The line at 7:30 was long. The price in 2022 for special 1 was 22.50 and special 2 was 26.50 read more

A visit to The Pantry was a must for us on our first day back in Amsterdam. With an impressively no-frills name and a quaint environment, we were happy to see it serve some delicious Dutch food while having all-around great service. We came in a little after they had just opened up for the day and an array of lunch specials were presented to us. While our main objective coming here was to try their Hutspot, we decided their €21 set which included pea-soup and a custard dessert would be more appropriate. Thank goodness too because everything was tasty and splendid. The pea-soup with rye bread and smoked ham was one of the best I had tasted in a lifetime. It was thick and not overly salty when it comes to pea soup, and their homemade rye was a great accompaniment. The main dish came with their signature hutspot along with two other mashes accompanying either a smoked sausage or meatball. Since there were two of us, we each got a separate meat so we were able to try both. Personally, the meatball was my winner, which is funny because we both enjoyed each other's meats better (lol). All in all, it was fantastic to taste the different mashed potato concoctions on the side- my favorite being the one mixed in with kale. Our vanilla yoghurt with custard was simply divine and a great way to end our meal. Dare I say it- I liked this portion the best out of everything we tried during our lunch set! I was very impressed with the service and food quality here at The Pantry and would absolutely recommend it for everyone to try visiting Amsterdam. read more

First meal in Amsterdam. Reservations at 11:30am. Arrived on time, seated right away at this warm and cozy country-style restaurant with wooden furniture and furnishings. Quick delivery of orders. Both the Smoked Eel on Toasts and Herring on toasts were fresh and delicious. The Cauliflower/Potato/Ground Beef/Cheese Casserole was flavorful and filling. Poffertjes were pillowy soft and just yummy little pancakes. Also tried a few slices of the sausage from a friend's plate and that was juicy. Will definitely want to eat here again. Service was really fast. We were seated at the inner most section of the restaurant with my back facing the entrance. Was completely surprised by the number of diners when we were leaving and the long line of customers eagerly waiting for their turn to get seated and fed. read more

Wow, this place is just so real and authentic. Really great Dutch food, felt like I was eating at my Dutch grandmother's house. As K and I were here on a chilly winter night, this was perfect! Here's what we got: Cold starter: combination of 3 Dutch sausages. These were great, real local sausages. Yum. Combination of hutspot, boerenkoolstamppot and zuurkoolstamppot (served with a smoked sausage or a meatball): oh god, this was just amazing. Just get it. It's rich, complex, and crazy filling. I could eat my weight in this dish. Savoury beef and onion stew (with red cabbage and mashed potatoes): k loves stews. She's Irish. As stews go, this was great, but you gotta dig on stew. Super authentic and tasty if this is your deal, so can't knock it. I loved the staff here, too. So nice. I'd come back here in a heartbeat. They are busy so I'd recommend calling ahead for a reservation! read more

The Pantry is a great traditional little Dutch restaurant. My boyfriend and I walked in around 7PM and were seated quickly (if you have a party bigger than two, you should probably make a reservation). The place is dimly lit, small, but very cozy and bustling. I got a hutspot dish which is mashed potatoes mixed with stewed beef, carrots and onions and served with a smoked sausage. My boyfriend ordered "Menu 1" which is a full course meal: appetizer - pea soup with rye bread and smoked bacon, entree - a combination of hutspot, zuurkoolstamppot (mash potatoes with sauerkraut), boerenkoolstamppot (mashed potatoes with kale) served with a smoked sausage or a meatball, and dessert - vanilla custard with yogurt and syrup. I'm not a fan of heavy food, but I really enjoyed the hutspot and the boerenkoolstamppot, but not so much the sauerkraut one. I also am generally indifferent about sausage and would not care for a large sausage as I had here. It was so good - the smokiness really made it great and tastes nothing like the hot dog flavor that I was scared to get. We also ordered the apple pie because hey, Dutch dessert! It was a really interesting texture, crunchy on the top, unlike the famous apple pie from Winkel 43, but nonetheless delicious and I enjoyed it much more than any apple pie that I have had in the States! The vanilla custard with yogurt dessert was rather disappointing though because it literally tasted like... cup yogurt from the supermarket and the syrup was really fake tasting. Overall a satisfying experience with attentive service. read more
