7 x fish and chips in Amsterdam you’ll want to try
Barracuda
Amsterdam Noord has gained a fantastic hotspot this year with Barracuda – a seafood restaurant on Aambeeldstraat. They have a unique approach: each table receives a menu where you can tick off the dishes you want to order, including fish & chips. From toast with ricotta and shellfish in white wine to fennel with samphire – there are plenty of options for vegetarians.

Le Forel
In the beautiful Bosboom Toussaintstraat, you’ll find Le Forel – a French restaurant in Amsterdam offering fresh fish daily and a menu that adapts to availability. Consider specialities like lobster mac & cheese, sole meunière, and classic fish & chips.

De Bekeerde Suster
A historic brewery in the heart of Amsterdam: if you don’t know this place, you might walk right past De Bekeerde Suster. That would be a shame, as in addition to a wide selection of (craft) beers, you can also enjoy crispy fish & chips here.

Pesca Amsterdam
Pesca doesn’t have a fixed menu, but a fish and chips dish often appears. The ‘fish theatre’ on the Rozengracht is expanding with two (!) international locations following the opening of its second restaurant in Rotterdam. The new destinations? Nice and Hamburg.

The Good Companion
At this lovely hotspot in the Jordaan, you’ll find various fish and chips options on the menu. Will you go for the classic fish and chips with cod and ravigote sauce or the vegan fish and chips made from tofu in a wasabi crumble?
