Taste Dutch apple pie and sample street food
Start your Amsterdam food tour in the Spui district at a historic bakery that has been making stroopwafels since 1898. Have a stroopwafel to begin your day. Afterward, visit a 'brown café' from 1921, popular with artists and politicians. Have Dutch apple pie and coffee. Walk through the historic center with your guide and see a 14th-century courtyard connected to 1960s counterculture. Next, try street food at a family-run stand known for herring and kibbeling since the 1980s. Have fries with homemade sauce from a shop that has been around for over 70 years. In Jordaan, a neighborhood from the 17th century, taste Dutch cheeses at a family-owned deli. End your tour at a cozy spot in a former Dutch painter’s home, eating bitterballen, stamppot, and Dutch sausage with beer.
