De Blauwe Hollander
De Blauwe Hollander opende haar deuren op 1 april 1979. De naam 'Blauwe' verwijst naar de blauwe uniformen gedragen door Nederlandse mariniers die naar Indonesië en Suriname werden gestuurd als permanente vertegenwoordigers van Nederland. Interessant genoeg werd de Nederlandse keuken meer gewaardeerd door zeelieden, omdat het hen nostalgisch maakte en hun heimwee naar Nederland verzachtte.

Highly recommended. Excellent food and fantastic service. The pea soup was fantastic. I will return
We took the menu and it was great.The soup thicker than expected.I like stampot a thousand times more without sauce.But in general a good experience, everything was very delicious and a very extensive menu for dinner.
Excellent restaurant in the centre, we ate very well at a fair price, we will be back
One of the few restaurants where you can eat the scarce typical food of the country. Very long hours and a lot of variety, reasonable price.
Very cosy restaurant. The food is very nice and home made we were told so that made them more delicious . We enjoyed our time here although the staff were really busy, we still had a good time 🙂
Very good food and service as well. The location is located in an area with many restaurants.
We chose this restaurant as a meet up with friends. Great vibe and service, food was well prepared and tasted amazing. If you have a chance, do stop in. You won't be disappointed!!!
The food was okay. I expected more. However, I liked the cozy ambiance in the restaurant and its convenient location.
Cozy place, where you can eat the typical Amsterdam dish the Stamppot, the 4 varieties they offered were delicious, and quite a lot.
We arrived around 4.20 p.m. and were seated but told our table was reserved for 6. We ordered dinner quickly and enjoyed our meal but at 5:40 p.m., a server came to our table every 2 minutes to physically pull on my plate which I was actively eating.(I had two bites left. My companion had not been served his tea yet and they didn't have the bill ready, they just tugged at my plate. We left at 5:48 p.m. They could have handled this better. Will not go back.
Very nice place to try traditional Dutch food. Good food at a reasonable price. We arrived without a table reservation but got a seat by the door. It was a busy afternoon but the staff were still friendly. I ordered the Stamppoot with sausage and bitterballs for starters. A rather simple presentation of the food for me, it might have been good with some greens on the side.
I visited on a Saturday in early November.The pastry across the street and this shop became crowded after 6 o'clock.The things I ordered were pea soup, shrimp croquettes, and stamppot with sausage.Stamppot has a large amount of mashed potatoes at the bottom, so I was too full to eat it alone.There were many people who only asked for a stamppot and alcohol.If you are concerned about quantity, I think croquettes should be a lower priority.The pea soup was quite mushy. I think it's worth eating as a souvenir.The waiter was also very friendly.I almost regret not tipping. I'm very satisfied. thank you very much!
We were in this place, in a street with other competitors. we couldn't have made a better choice! I celebrated my birthday, the food was good but the welcome and kindness of the waiters in recommending the typical dishes was surprising. they even got me a birthday candle. congratulations again for the kindness
I thoroughly enjoyed fresh herring starter, curly kale stamppot! Amazing Dutch food and staffs. Highly recommended.
We were there only to try the Bitterballen and the croquettes, both of which were not great. The service was fine, but our options were not to our liking unfortunately.
Really very good restaurant with great and friendly service and super tasty Dutch food. Never had such good fish!A reservation is recommended!
Very good food. We stopped here on the recommendation of our guide and we were totally right.
We had a fantastic experience trying traditional Dutch stamppot at this cozy restaurant! The dish was hearty, warm, and comforting. We tried both the meatball and the sausage, and each was delicious. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone wanting an authentic Dutch meal in a friendly atmosphere!
Very good time, good food and impeccable service. The value for money is correct.
Very good typical Dutch food. Good service and attentive staff. Possibility of viewing the letter translated into Spanish on the internet
Great typical dishes ! Most of them could count as comfort dishes. The service is quick and the people are really nice and welcoming. It is usually really crowded so try to book a table before !
Great tradicional food from the Netherlands. Very nice service. Fair prices. It has changed staff since last time I visited but still worth the visit.
Very good food and large portions of traditional Dutch dishes... and a very nice girl serving... born in the Netherlands and speaking clearer Polish than me and my friends. I recommend it to everyone because I can't understand why everyone is standing in line on the other side of the street because the rating Google is 0.2 higher and I have eaten in both and this restaurant represents a higher level for the same price. I recommend it to all locals.
We were at a family dinner, the waitress spoke Polish, was nice and friendly. The food is amazing 🥰 we recommend sets that offer local food. I recommend it, it's a very nice atmosphere and good food.
A cozy, traditional Dutch atmosphere and also the menu/food. It is highly recommended
Busy restaurant but the staff accommodated us without reservation and the food was excellent.
This was an amazing place to eat. I travel solo and try to find authentic places to eat. When I walked in I was immediately seated even though it was very crowded. The staff were very helpful explaining the menu and I was so comfortable I told them to order for me. The food was amazing and had a great time. Highly recommend trying this spot out.
Restaurant with traditional food. For starters we had Home made cheese croquettes. Then we ordered Endive "mashed potato" (it',s mashed potato with endive pieces and it comes with meatball), Slavinks (meatball rolled in bacon, served with green beans, boliled potatoes and sauce), Homemade vegetable tart (cheese croquettes served with a fresh salad). Everything was veery tasty. The staff was very friendly.We had a good experience.
If you go for typical dutch "stampot met andijvie" you will certainly enjoy it here. I think service could be a bit better as it was not so busy and we still had to wait long to pay. The interior is missing some typical dutch items, that could be an extra adding to atmosphere. Overal solid 4/5!
We visited this establishment yesterday. I took the Dutch stake, very tasty! Beer is also delicious! The atmosphere is cozy, friendly staffTherefore I recommend)
Really yummy!!!! Deserts were good and so was the food. So so nice. Steak was soooo good
This is truly the worst 'Dutch' food restaurant I ever tried. As a Dutchman I am appalled and shocked that this was brought to our table. I ordered an 'Entrecote, medium rare'. At first I got an entrecote which was well done, so I sent it back to the kitchen. Then, after about 30+ (!) minutes I got a 'steak' (see photo) which looked like it was boiled, and not baked or grilled at all. Where is the maillard reaction ? grilling stripes ? Baking browning ? Nothing. It tasted like boiled meat aswell, so I am assuming that was just it: boiled meat. Terrible! After complaining with the manager he took the dish of the bill and offered us free desserts. Nice gesture for sure. However, when we got the bill, the entrecote was still on there and only after telling them again they took it off. I have never eaten such a terrible 'boiled' steak. Do NOT eat there. There are better options in Amsterdam for sure. Fire that chef! He doesn't belong in a kitchen!
The food was exquisite and delicious, beyond expectations. However, the service attitude here is average and the response is not timely enough, perhaps because of the large number of people. But overall it's quite satisfactory.
The food is delicious, the staff tries very hard to serve everyone quickly.
Beautiful experience. Good quality typical Dutch food in a beautiful area and in a well-kept place, highly recommended
Typical Dutch restaurant, in a nice neighborhood. Excellent food and very friendly staff.
A lot of food for fair prices (at Amsterdam standards). Service was fast and they didn‘t rush us, definitely worth a try.
Very tasty Dutch cuisine, everything was delicious, definitely worth a visit.
The fried food set (16 pieces) and sausages were delicious, and the food came out all at once if you waited.
The restaurant for the Dutch national dish!!A nice, quaint restaurant near the center. Somewhat rustically furnished... You should definitely visit when on vacation in Amsterdam!!Service friendly and accommodating!We will come back on our next trip to Amsterdam ☺️
This is our second time visiting Amsterdam. Our Hotel recommended us to try this Dutch restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised. The food, atmosphere and service were great. We had ordered the set Menu’s of soup (pea and tomato), chicken sate, stamppot with tender beef and sausage. The food were tasty, portions were large. We will definitely return.
Excellent food, I highly recommend the bitterballen, amazing, good stamppot, we took the one with sausage, the pea soup didn't drive us crazy for the smoky flavour, but we would also have returned to try other dishes if the rudeness of the waiter hadn't stopped us waiter who, after asking for advice on a red beer to take, directed us to a sparkling drink similar to fruity beer and when asked to replace it with any normal beer as it was a fruit drink and not a beer, he got nervous and started to insult us and mock us with the other waiters.
Excellent, you should book a table in advance easily via Google, traditional Dutch food
Had an amazing dinner here while visiting from London. Had the pleasure of being served by Totti who was friendly, helpful and professional. The mussels were lovely and the steaks were cooked exactly the way everyone requested. Will definitely be back on our next visit!
Very tasty, very nice service. I ate the liver, which was soft and juicy. Additionally, there is a restaurant in a nice, small street with a nice atmosphere. Supposedly in the center, but so homely. Large selection of beers. I recommend!
Great place, good Dutch food. The atmosphere is super nice, and reasonable prices compare with all other rest offering similar menus . Server were friendly , though we patients a bit .. overall very nice experience.
Super nice experience at De Blauwe Hollander. We came because of the positive Google reviews and we were not disappointed. The setting is very nice. It might be a little noisy close to the front door but we were at the back and it was much quieter. There are outdoor, indoor, and indoor seats close to an open window, which is a good compromise.We ordered bitterballs to share as a starter. I didn't know it and I found it really delicious. The breading is crispy, not too greasy and very good. The inside is made of mash and meat. It's super hot so be careful when tasting. They are accompanied by mild Dijon mustard, which is very appreciable.For dishes we had stamppots. I had one with sausage and sauerkraut, really excellent. The puree is mixed with the cabbage, and everything is accompanied by gravy. The sausage is well cooked and "slamming", and it tastes very good. My friend had a stamppot with a kind of shank type piece of beef (very very tender and delicious) and mashed potatoes with pieces of carrot. The mash was less interesting and perhaps a little bland, but overall it was still good.It's quite filling so we didn't have dessert. The service was really good, all the staff were very friendly.The bill is a little high but that seems to me to be the standard in Amsterdam, from what we have seen. The city seems very expensive overall. Allow €7 for the starter (6 bitterballs) and €17.50 for each dish.In summary? Very good place to eat traditional cuisine. Everything was good and we made some great discoveries. I recommend.
A typical Amsterdam restaurant! Varied and delicious dishes, the staff is very pleasant, smiling and understanding. We recommend!
Absolutely loved it! This definitely became one of my favourite restaurants I ever ate at. I'm from Italy so I'm not used to this kind of food, but I totally loved it (so did my dutch dad!).
Beautiful experience. The hot chocolate was the best I've ever had. I had to by 2 500g containers of that local cacao powder to bring back home.
The restaurant is awesome! The food and service are great. The staff is super friendly.
A sweet Dutch restaurant in the middle of a popular food and bar area. We saw tons of Italian places but hung out until we came across this sweet restaurant
Sat down at 6 PM (half the restaurant was empty still before the dinner rush) and no one came to take our order until 6:30 PM. Table next to us ordered immediately after us and got their food first (both appetizier and dinner came before any of our food came). We asked staff where our food was and no one knew where it was because they said it wasn’t in the system. This was already the back up option because the wait at The Pantry Restaurant across the street was very long but after all this we thought we should have just waited there. Not to mention the water cost $3 for 0.25L so we had nothing at our table (suppose it could be European culture to not have water with meals? But all other restaurants in Amsterdam I went to provided free and unlimited water). Even after telling us the food would be expedited it still took 20 minutes to arrive. They comped our meal which was nice but doesn’t mitigate the fact that no one checked on us or even noticed that we were waiting for so long with no food. Would not come back.
Nothing bad to say about this restaurant, top service and very good food, I would definitely come back to eat here again! 5 stars
You can get real Dutch food here!We had a delicious meal here and enjoyed this place!!
Very bad experience about this restaurant today. We waited for one hour untill we call the manager to come and ask for our foods. I am sure they fogot our table but the manager even didnit say any sorry, and come back saying that he foods are going to come. Then after 15mn no one come, almost the other table come after us have been served, untill we cant wait any more, he explained that our table are 4, they serve other table for 2 first! What a shame! I love Amsterdam but this restaurant shouldn’t deserve any good clients!
Very good place to eat typical Dutch food, like the Stamppot. I ordered it with meatball and bacon! Then a dessert based on vanilla ice cream with strawberries and cream. Don't forget to make a reservation. It's usually full at night
A good place to try typical Dutch food. Good value for money. The Spanish girl who helped us is charming and the service in general was very friendly. Highly recommended
Not good place to eat,they buy others to review this place- after you review they block you, dont buy here guys they are scammers
Top pleasant staff my daughter who doesn't like meat at sur ma'ger because it offers vegetarian
We are a Spanish couple, we found the place by chance, we were served by a charming Spanish girl called Thersa, thanks to her help we were able to enjoy a wonderful dinner...we will return soon
There are many famous local restaurants in this area, but this one is also recommended. English menu, friendly service, and great Dutch cuisine. On the night we visited, it was packed with Japanese and other East Asian tourists. I think the local guides also recommend it with confidence.
We had a lunch great experience here! We didn’t think we would get in because they are very busy, but Totti made room for us and gave us incredible service throughout our time here. You are lucky if you have him! Food and beer were great, and I would highly recommend coming here!
Fantastic Stamppot, absolutely delicious!Price is fair, amazing service.The seat by the window is gorgeous! I don’t
I never eat a better Food in my life this place is a Blessing for us . great Service and Great people l Love it
Their stampots were truly delicious!A booking is a must to be sure able to dine here.Quick order and quick service.
I have been eating in the Blauwe Hollander recently , the food was delicious and me with my wife enjoyed the house wine and get tipsy a bit. The staff was welcoming and the atmosphere was great . Me as a ex pastry chef I did enjoyed desserts afterwards and I do recommending the place for everyone .
Small but nice place with excellent service. We loved the food, it's a shame we only discovered it on the last day. Super honest prices compared to the city average. Thank you!
Wow!! The best pea soup I’ve ever had! Perfect for a rainy day! Staff was so kind as well!
I came for dinner with my beloved, we were both pleasantly surprised, because we managed to catch a free table. Service at a high level, smiling and very nice. Dutch food of a very high standard. Everything tasted good to us, we left very satisfied. We will come back regularly. Best regards
The restaurant is very tasty and they have many varieties. I didn't know what to choose, and wow, it's really delicious
I received the course. It was supposed to come with tea or coffee at the end, but it never came.To make matters worse, I paid 56 EUR instead of 26 EUR and was waiting for the change, but I didn't receive it.Can I get some change from here? When I asked him about it, he insisted that he only received 26 EUR.I was able to give it back reluctantly.Do you mix up 20EUR and 50EUR?A blunt young woman.The taste was just deliciousI'm very disappointed.
Excellent restaurant to eat typical Dutch dishes. Very good attention from the manager and staff. Empathy and sympathy. The menu is varied and with very good prices. Advisable.
Went there as a big group and the staff was accommodating and so nice. The place is ideally situated and welcoming. I personally liked my choice of dish (stamppot) but one friend who had the veg goat pie thought it was not so much cheese and mainly carrot and beetroot for the vegetables. Overall, definitely recommend!
It’s THE DUTCH RESTAURANT!We were passing through for 4 days and if you have to eat local, this is the restaurant to eat at!!There are plenty of good dishes but especially traditional dishes like Snert (pea soup), herring and the famous Stamppot which is really excellent.The staff is super welcoming and the chef is everywhere at once and super friendly.There are a lot of people, and the atmosphere is really like our French brasseries 😁Thank you for your welcome
Great food, attentive staff, special thanks to Alyona for our wonderful evening. Our favorite restaurant.
We really liked everything and the attention has been good. Perhaps the children's menu could be more adapted to children.
Unfortunately not a free table for last night... Take precautions not to be disappointed: book, because there is competition with groups.There are too few restaurants in Amsterdam where you can eat good Dutch cuisine, like here (it's absolutely dramatic to see how local cuisines are crushed by the standardization of taste, the agri-food system, fast food factories, pizzas and bad food).We loved the herrings and the "Hutspot", good family cooking, accompanied by an excellent French Sauvignon from Pays d'Oc.The only false notes: the soft bread, of only one variety, very mediocre, and the (good) coffee, still far too expensive.
Nice restaurant in a typical area full of restaurants. Dutch food to try stampott with meatball Very friendly staff. Prices slightly below the Amsterdam threshold. Advised
Very nice restaurant with netherlandish food. We needed one of this kind and found everything very nice. Had a great evening!
I loved it ❤️ We arrived by chance and everything was delicious. Great service, super delicious food, I would repeat if I return to Amsterdam!!
Food is ok. Simple, but that seems to me to be the intention of a Dutch restaurant. Atmosphere is good with a nice decor, but the staff are not all equally sharp. Furthermore, it was a shame that the satay sauce was not made in-house. Tasted like Wijko, one of my least favorite....
Excellent service and delicious food. Good value for their set menu option. The portions were very large and the food tasted great!
Great ambience. And in my opinion very authentic Dutch food. I would like to praise the excellent service staff. Rarely have I experienced such warm and professional interaction. We would like to come again.
Very nice place with very good food. We celebrate a Birthday for 17 persons and was excellent. Waiters, environment an also the food was a nice experience.Gracias Arda and rest of the staff. SUPER
We ate 10 people without any problem, which we had already been denied somewhere else due to the number of diners.Very delicious typical Dutch food and very attentive service.Recommendable.
Went there today and it was great!Food tastes amazing, the service was fabulous, basically no waiting time for the food to come and good music in the background.As a small gift, I got an dessert for free, which was an very sweet gesture that I unfortunately only noticed after I came back to my hotel because I thought it was a part of my Menu. So thank you very much for the gift! 😊
Really good Dutch restaurant! As a Dutchman myself I have never been to a restaurant specifically for Dutch food but I wanted to introduce some Brazilian friends to real Dutch Cuisine.We took a 3 course set Menu (for a great price) which started with a delicious green pea soup, only real complaint there would be the lack of meat in the soup.We had the hutspot with pulled beef as the main dish and it was absolutely delicious, huge portions of meat, hutspot & gravy. Juicy and delicious! As dessert we had the vlaflip which is a classic kids dessert, hadn't tried it in a while and brought back memories.
Place too dark, luckily we had a table near the window.The service for the first part of the dinner was pleasant, a helpful person, then little attention, the dessert plate was thrown on the table.We asked to eat something typical. The cheese they brought was good while the sausage dish didn't convince us but it was well executed.Price a little above average
Terrible place. I was meant to go to The Pantry as a recommendation but it was very busy so I thought I would give this place a chance to wow me with Dutch food. Not sure if it is run by Dutch people, anyway. I Sat and they took the order . After 40 minutes!!! I asked them and it was obvious that they have forgotten. Other people was being served. It wasn’t even busy, around 3 free tables and all they said is that they have a big group of people. Lies.Avoid if you can.I went and got a very delicious take away sandwich somewhere else.
Good food and friendly staff in a cozy area. Ordered the stew with sausage, which was pretty good, but there was a little bit of meat compared to how much mash there was so after a while it was just mash. You could have bacon bits on it too, but it costs extra, but would probably have been tastier.
We were having dinner because we wanted to try typical Dutch food and we had seen that it was recommended as a typical place to eat.We made a reservation, when we arrived they didn't even look if we had a reservation or not. The place is not very pretty, I would say somewhat gloomy. We didn't really like the service and the food, to be honest.I think it is expensive for the quality and service they provide. There are better places to eat typical and much richer food.I don't think it's a good place.It was my daughter's birthday and they had a hard time helping us with the candle. Anyway, without further ado.And also expensive.
Reservations recommended, the restaurant is in high demand and is always very busy.
You have to make a reservation. The food is very good but they don't have the complete menu in other languages.
One of the few places in Amsterdam where you can taste typical local cuisine. Tasty and well presented dishes. The guy who took care of our orders deserves a special mention, he is folkloristic and very nice.. 👍🏻
Very delicious traditional food. Such as salmon. The meat cuts were delicious.
