Nice dutch food! We had the carrot 🥕 and endive stamppot and both were very nice- but different.  If you like tender meat, get the carrot one. As starter we had bitterballs and those were also super, reminded me of Spanish croquettes. Dessert was disappointing. The Vlaflip could have had more fruit. It literally had 1 piece of strawberry. My friend got ice cream with strawberries - which that was fine but nothing too interest.
Strong point- get the savoury stuff! Recommended.

Attended for Sunday evening dinner here at De Blauwe Hollander after looking for authentic Dutch cuisine and we were very happy with our choice.

Firstly I must thank our Spanish waiter (Sorry I did not get his name) but he was brilliant. Very inviting, friendly and polite. He was always ready to attend to our needs.

The setting is cosy and great for a couple looking for a nice meal together. The restaurant is quite popular so you may need to book in advance or if its just a few of you then you could turn up on the off chance of finding a free table.

The food was brilliant. We both enjoyed our starters and mains. I had the tomato soup and had a great homely taste, nice kick with the pepper also. For the main I had the steak and gravy which I enjoyed very much. We would have gone for a dessert, but we were both too full at this point.

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for homely Dutch meal. Our time here was memorable and we both left very happy.

Thank you for the amazing food and memories. One day we shall return!

A very perfect restaurant that serves authentic Amsterdam food. we went there twice to eat. delicious food, soft, tender meat combined with very delicious potatoes. for a creamy soup with bacon in it (the soup wasn't thick on our second visit). rissoles are not too bad. the service is very friendly and helpful. the dining atmosphere is very cozy and warm, the room is not too big but enough so that it is not crowded.

My wife and I were looking for some authentic Dutch cuisine and were recommended this restaurant. It was fantastic.
We arrived without a booking at 5pm on a Tuesday on early March. We were given a table no problem.
We both chose stomppots. My wife one with smoked sausage and sauerkraut through the mashed potatoes. Mines was with a gigantic meatball (the biggest I've ever seen) and fries bacon bits.
Both were delicious, my wife in particular was in food heaven. I wasn't quite there but the dish was really good.
If you want dutch cuisine this is a place you should checkout. Not the cheapest, but then again nothing is cheap in this city.
Highly recommended.

Excellent choice for authentic Dutch food. We happened to stop in while walking by and were lucky to get a table for two without a reservation. Service was amazing, especially our waitress, Aaliyah. We tried the spinach & meatball and sauerkraut & sausage Stamppot's and they were both fantastic. Definitely worth a visit!
