If you haven’t been to Helling7 yet, it’s definitely a must-visit, whether it’s during the holidays or at another time.

Relaxed, enjoying unique beers and ciders, but also with excellent food.
Leen Jongewaardkade 41, Amsterdam
Restaurant Metro
Another favourite in Amsterdam North is Restaurant Metro.

If you also want to do something during the holidays, you could even combine your lunch or dinner with a visit to the NXT museum next to the restaurant, which is entirely dedicated to digital art (open on December 24 and 26).
Asterweg 22, Amsterdam
Lazuur
A restaurant we’ve been saying for a while that we really need to go back to is Lazuur in Amsterdam North. They are open for dinner on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day. A special dinner with the LALA’s, as the chefs of Lazuur and Lastage join forces for a culinary evening. Each of them prepares three courses, complemented by appetizers, so get ready for a delicious extensive 6-course dinner with wonderful matching drinks.
Hangar Noord
If you want to have lunch on Boxing Day, Hangar North is an option! The lunch menu here is extensive and offers something for everyone. It’s also a great place if you would like to have lunch with the kids on Boxing Day.

Troef
Troef in Amsterdam East is undoubtedly one of my favourite new restobars in the city. The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is relaxed and laid-back. I, personally, booked a reservation there just before Christmas for a pre-Christmas dinner! If you want to dine out for Christmas in Amsterdam, Troef is a good choice because they are open for dinner on Christmas Eve, as well as on the first and second Christmas Day. During the holidays, they give their à-la-carte menu a festive touch, decorate with Christmas lights, and of course, have the champagne chilled.

This old city farm transformed into a restaurant, café, and boutique hote is nestled in the greenery of Amsterdam East. A cosy and super intimate spot at Ringdijk 58 with a large garden and a fireplace in winter for delightful gatherings. During the holidays, they are open on Boxing Day for both brunch and dinner. The dinner features a 5-course Christmas menu, and the festive Christmas brunch is a tasting of various sweet and savoury dishes served on large platters for sharing.

Going out for a delicious meal (with the whole family) at The Lobby is, in my opinion, always a great idea! On December 24, 25, and 26, you can join them for a Christmas lunch or Christmas dinner in Amsterdam. The menu will be announced through their social channels, so keep an eye on Instagram, I would say! After dinner, you can also stay overnight because The Lobby is the restaurant of Hotel V op de Fizeaustraat.

Beukenplein 50, Amsterdam
Wilde Zwijnen
Wilde Zwijnen was one of the first restaurants I ever wrote about on Your Little Black Book. And sometimes it’s almost a pity that so many new places open, and I have to go there for work, because otherwise, I would go back here much more often. Delicious food, always a great atmosphere, and open during the Christmas holidays on December 24 and 26 for dinner. And while creating this guide with the best restaurants open for Christmas in Amsterdam, I see that they also do lunch on weekends. Booked immediately for the end of November ;-)!

In a short time, he elevated Daalder to Michelin-star status, with their first Michelin star in 2021 as an accomplishment. His dishes are described as chic and refined, but without any pretension, and the somewhat raw setting of the restaurant (located at Het Sieraad) complements it perfectly.

Café Verlan
Undoubtedly, one of my favourite restaurants in Amsterdam Centrum. And the good news is that they are open for a Christmas dinner on both the 25th and 26th of December. Café Verlan has various cosy corners, each with its own atmosphere. Dining at the bar is also an option! The website doesn’t mention anything about a special menu, so I assume you can just enjoy à la carte dining. And that’s exactly what you want at a place like Verlan!
Prinsengracht 381HS, Amsterdam
De Juwelier*
Dining at De Juwelier is always a culinary delight. Whether you’re downstairs, upstairs, or at the bar… I find the atmosphere in this place so pleasant.

If there’s one wine bar in Amsterdam where you definitely want to enjoy another glass of wine with friends before the year ends, it’s Oocker in my opinion.

Bar Brasserie Occo
In the heart of Amsterdam, in the beautiful The Dylan hotel, you’ll find Bar Brasserie Occo, whose interior strongly resembles an old Dutch setting. With a floor of small bricks and wooden beams incorporated into the ceiling, it’s like taking a step back in time.

Restaurant Flore in the beautiful De L’Europe Hotel is open on Christmas Day, offering a fine dining experience like you may not have experienced before. Flore has earned two (!) Michelin stars for a reason; chef Bas van Kranen cooks up the most amazing dishes.

In short, it’s a place you’d want to experience for yourself to truly understand what it entails. And what better day to do so than on Christmas Day.
Nieuwe Doelenstraat 2-14, Amsterdam
Jansz.
Jansz., in the charming Pulitzer Hotel is also open on both Christmas Days, offering a special Christmas menu. Similar to Occo, dining at Jansz. feels like a journey back in time. The interior is modern, but the building that houses this restaurant is centuries old and so beautiful. It’s the perfect contrast that makes it a cosy and delightful place to be, also suitable for dining with children. Just let the chefs know in advance, so they can accommodate the little ones.
