6 x the best Sunday roast in Amsterdam
So what is a Sunday Roast? In short, it’s an extensive, late lunch – a leisurely afternoon of dining – with a table full of food. From roasted meats to chicken and fresh fish, a Sunday Roast is a delight for young and old alike. Discover the hotspots with the best Sunday Roasts in Amsterdam below.
Café Binnenvisser
Recently, Café Binnenvisser in Amsterdam West has offered the cosiest Sunday Roast in the area. They now serve a poulet noir with trumpet mushrooms every Sunday afternoon. Of course, the food is accompanied by the delicious wines this establishment is so well-known for.

Soho House
Soho House in Amsterdam Centre is renowned for its legendary Sunday Roasts, sometimes accompanied by a gospel choir. However, you must first acquire a membership or know someone who is a member. This way, you can attend as a guest, but we believe the chances are high that after the experience, you’ll want to become a member yourself.

The Cottage
The Cottage now feels like an extension of our living room – we love it so much, and the atmosphere is so relaxed. An excellent spot for young and old alike, consistently serving a Sunday Roast every Sunday. And without a doubt, it’s the best Sunday Roast in Amsterdam. Tip: go for their beef Wellington.

LAZUUR
LAZUUR in Amsterdam North has earned its Bib Gourmand for good reason. At this establishment, you can dine high-end; every first Sunday of the month, they serve an extensive Sunday Roast. They uniquely make the British tradition their own, with French and Portuguese cuisine influences.

Mr. Porter
For years, Mr Porter has been a go-to destination for a good Sunday Brunch. They may have been among the first in our capital, but they have become synonymous with excellence. With a roast like theirs, it’s no wonder. Imagine an extensive buffet and meat that’s more tender than you’ve ever tasted. Top it off with a glass of bubbles and your Sunday couldn’t be better.
