Come with an appetite!
Bitterballens! This was a great experience when first arriving in Amsterdam. We ended up getting bitterballen whenever we stopped for a quick drink/bite. There was an informative video and lots of food to taste from! Spiral staircase to get down to basement!

Great Presentor, And food. Just a month open and better then a Boat tour.

Luiz will be especially happy to hear your kind words! As a new experience, feedback like yours means a lot to our team.

Wonderful Dutch Food Tasting Experince
Amsterdam Dutch Food Tasting with 12 Traditional Dishes – Review Our Dutch food experience began when we were greeted warmly by our host Luiz in a private, cozy downstairs room at the Morelang Restaurant. Luiz was wonderful and knowlegeable in current and old-time Dutch foods and preparation. We asked lots of questions learned much about Amsterdam history, Dutch land reclamation efforts, foods, lifestyles, canals, houseboats, attitudes and cost of living in the Netherlands. We loved the entire event and sampled classic foods, cheeses, breads, cookies, licorice, liquor and sweets. The presentations also included a video which we found informative, entertaining and with some humor. We loved our experience and would highly recommend it to any visitor visting Amsterdam.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Dutch food experience with Luiz and had such a great time discovering not only traditional Dutch flavors, but also the history, culture, and everyday life of Amsterdam. It’s especially lovely to hear that you enjoyed the variety of foods, cheeses, sweets, drinks, and the presentation. Luiz will be very happy to know that his knowledge and hospitality helped make the experience memorable. Thank you again for joining us and for recommending the experience to other visitors. It was a pleasure having you, and we hope your time in Amsterdam was filled with many more wonderful memories!

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amsterdam: Traditional Dutch Food Tasting Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.
How much does Amsterdam: Traditional Dutch Food Tasting Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amsterdam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Amsterdam: Traditional Dutch Food Tasting Experience take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Amsterdam is not rushed.
Is Amsterdam: Traditional Dutch Food Tasting Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amsterdam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amsterdam: Traditional Dutch Food Tasting Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Amsterdam: Traditional Dutch Food Tasting Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amsterdam: Traditional Dutch Food Tasting Experience?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Amsterdam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Amsterdam and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amsterdam: Traditional Dutch Food Tasting Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Amsterdam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Amsterdam?
+
On Outty we rank every Amsterdam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Amsterdam Food and Cultural Tour with 10 Tastings, Amsterdam Canal Cruise with Local Guide and Small Group, Amsterdam 90 minutes Canal Cruise with bar and snacks on board.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Amsterdam?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Amsterdam?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Amsterdam: Traditional Dutch Food Tasting Experience?
+
Included: Toilets and Cooling; Alcoholic beverages; Government fees; Tea and coffee; and Meals. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Gratuities for the presenter. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Amsterdam: Traditional Dutch Food Tasting Experience?
+
The meeting point will be at the Restaurant Morlang. Please enter the restaurant and walk to the back and down the stairs and you will find us all ready for you. The experience is in a private room inside the venue. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Amsterdam: Traditional Dutch Food Tasting Experience offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Amsterdam: Traditional Dutch Food Tasting Experience?
+

Is Amsterdam: Traditional Dutch Food Tasting Experience wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
