Amsterdam Self-Guided Food Tour: De Jordaan District

Let’s Take a Bite Out of Amsterdam

Welcome to our self-guided food tour through the Jordaan – one of the most charming and historic neighbourhoods in Amsterdam.

It’s home to hidden courtyards, legendary locals, and incredible food – and you’ll get to taste your way through it all.

Armed with a PDF guide (sent to you after booking), a smartphone, and an empty stomach, you’ll follow our curated route from one iconic family-run stop to the next. There’s no fixed group or schedule – just you, your appetite, and the freedom to explore.

So what’s cooking?

Route & Itinerary

Stop 1 – Rozengracht: Your Starting Point

Your journey begins on Rozengracht, just a 5-minute walk from the Anne Frank House. This local gem is where you’ll dive into your first classic Amsterdam bite: a fresh sandwich from a beloved shop that’s been feeding the neighbourhood for decades.

Stop 2 – Cheese, Please

Next up: cheese heaven. Step into an authentic Dutch cheese shop and taste your way through a curated selection – from creamy young cheese to sharp, aged goudas.

Stop 3 – Candy Tradition

Your sweet tooth won’t be left out. Visit an iconic local shop (the time stood stil here:)) for a traditional Dutch treat that’s been a staple in Amsterdam homes for generations.

Stop 4 – over 100-Year-Old Butcher

Step into a century-old butcher shop – the kind where time stands still. Here, you’ll try a selection of Amsterdam-style sausages, and maybe even meet the owner’s 101-year-old client.

Stop 5 – Brown Bar Bliss

No tour of Amsterdam is complete without stepping inside a classic bruine kroeg – a cosy brown bar. This is where you’ll try one of the best apple pies in town, with a coffee or beer if you fancy.

Final Stop – A Taste of the Sea

Your grand finale is at a beloved fish stall where you’ll try herring (the Dutch way!) and crispy, golden kibbeling. A delicious end to your self-guided adventure.

The Freedom to Taste It Your Way

This is your tour, your pace, your bites. Stay longer where you love it, skip what doesn’t interest you, and come back later if you want. You’re not locked into anything – and you only pay for the things you actually want to try.

Whether you power through in 2 hours or split it over two days, we promise you’ll walk away with a full heart and an even fuller stomach.
