Eat Your World’s Amsterdam Food & Travel Guide is the second in a series of eBook destination guides from Eat Your World that spotlights a region’s best traditional dishes and drinks. For this edition, readers are directed to 24 quintessential foodie experiences in Amsterdam.
Dutch food hasn’t exactly inspired the poetic waxings of many—and in well-touristed Amsterdam, with such a dizzying array of restaurants, it’s especially easy to wander into the wrong place and miss out on the city’s unique culinary offerings. For this guide, Eat Your World identifies and contextualizes Amsterdam’s most quintessential dishes and drinks and tells readers exactly where to find them. Because while any gastronomic exploration there must include the historic meat-and-potato stamppots, sweet stroopwafel, and streetside herring, it also isn’t complete without the city’s spicy ethnic mashups from Indonesia and Suriname, its unique jenever-distilling tradition and incredible local craft beer, and its ever-growing crop of season-driven locavore-centric restaurants working to reinvent modern Dutch cuisine. Nor can it fail to consider Amsterdam’s inspiring market sensibility, which plays out in both big street affairs and small neighborhood corner shops, where residents crowd on weekends to get the freshest local sausages and cheese. Eat Your World’s guide covers all of this and much more, guaranteeing that, while Amsterdam may lack the culinary pizzazz of some of its European brethren, you will eat well there.

--What to Eat: 24 iconic foods and drinks in Amsterdam, with well-researched descriptions, historical/cultural context, and vivid photographs
