8 of the best natural wine bars in Amsterdam

Until a few years ago, we'd never even heard of natural wine, but now it's incredibly popular. Many bars and restaurants are capitalizing on the hype, resulting in Amsterdam teeming with excellent cafes and bars featuring natural wine. Time for an overview of the best bars serving natural wine in Amsterdam.

8 of the Best Natural Wine Bars in Amsterdam

Natural wine: some swear by it, while others have little to no interest in it. Sommeliers are brushing up on their knowledge en masse, because natural wine requires a different approach and taste than more traditional wines. The difference? Natural wine is made as naturally as possible, without additives or flavor enhancers that aid the process. The result is a rustic flavor, as if you're still tasting the winery. One is pronounced and the other soft – just like regular wine – but anyone who's ever tasted natural wine will immediately notice the difference. For all natural wine lovers or the curious: these are the best bars serving natural wine in Amsterdam.

Café Twee Prinsen

On the corner of Prinsenstraat and Prinsengracht (Amsterdam-Centrum) you'll find the ever-popular Café Twee Prinsen. They have a wide selection of natural wines (both sparkling and still), snacks, and excellent coffee. It's the perfect spot to relax on a stool in the street and people-watch when the weather is nice.

Bar Pif

At Bar Pif, there's always a surprising wine selection, and you can also just pop in for a drink alongside dinner. Bar Pif is a sibling of Alex + Pinard (temporarily closed, but opening March 1st with a new Ukrainian concept) and is also part of Rebel Wines. A good glass of wine is guaranteed.

Bottleshop Amsterdam

At the Wibautstraat in Amsterdam East You'll find the popular Bottleshop Amsterdam. At Bottleshop, they don't shy away from doing things differently; their wine list even carries a warning: "conventionally incorrect." Besides natural wine, they serve sake and cider, beers, liqueurs, and champagnes. They also have an extensive snack menu, and they recently launched a new concept where several leading chefs cook up a storm every month.

Fabus

The story behind wine bar Fabus is almost fairytale-like: founders Nada Benic and Qian Lu met in a Dubrovnik bar where Nada was working behind the bar. After hours, they still couldn't stop talking about fine wines and the dream of owning their own business. Qian decided to take the plunge and ask Nada if she'd be interested in opening a business together in Amsterdam. Soon, their shared dream became a reality, and wine bar Fabus was born. A place with fantastic, unique wines and an equally unique bar and dinner menu.

This is your ticket to Japan without taking a plane 🥢 @tewatashi.ams in De Pijp serves an authentic Edo-Mae Sushi Experience and is super consistent in their quality. It's the place we keep going back to when we have something to celebrate <3. In this video I'm sharing the 2 hour experience in 60 seconds. Still dreaming about the buttery ika nigiri. 🤤 ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck { one of the best authentic Japanese restaurants in Amsterdam serving premium sushi omakase in De Pijp }
𝗔 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗳𝗲́ 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗺 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆? @eetcafe_de_reiger is the spot to remember. Cozy, casual, and a seasonal menu. This one was on my list to share for a year and finally it's (almost) asparagus season again! 🤤 Another plus? Prices are very reasonable here! 📍 Eetcafé de Reiger Jordaan, Amsterdam City Center Save this spot for when you're craving warm Dutch traditional dishes in the heart of Amsterdam. And did you hear the same team took over Eetcafé van Beeren? I can't wait to go there too! ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck
A grandma's cookbook. Three Michelin stars. And a beautiful 70s villa in a quiet neighborhood in Bangkok, where you are welcomed as if you were at the chefs' home. The Sühring brothers don't cook based on trends; they cook based on memories. Of their grandmother's farm, of the flavors of their youth in Germany, and of techniques passed down through generations. @relaischateaux invited me to experience Sühring during a solo lunch, and this is truly my ultimate definition of culinary self-care. This was a surprising afternoon in Bangkok, where I ate the best German food I have ever tasted. And that in a city where I normally avoid European restaurants. Well, for @restaurant_suhring, you really want to make that exception. Signature dishes that I still think back to regularly? 🍴 Labskaus with caviar 🍴 Enleta waffle with Pfalz vinegar 🍴 Game pâté 🍴 Dry-aged Duck TIP: When you go to Sühring, reserve seats at the kitchen bar so you have a view of the chefs at work! Follow @yourlbb for more tips you can trust. ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck #prinvited #bangkok #michelin #relaischateaux In this reels, I take you along for fine dining in Bangkok at the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Sühring.
This is one of the best free outings in the spring! Did you know that you can gather (or pick, for the connoisseurs 😉) oysters yourself at various locations in the Netherlands? I’m in Zeeland for a bit this weekend, and if we can make it, we’ll go again. 📍In this video, I show you where you can fill your bucket. Comment *oester* for the comprehensive guide with all the details about all 8 locations + handy tips and rules. Important to know: – Max. 10 kilos per person (≈ 1 bucket) – For personal use only – Do not scoop or scrape the seabed – Go at low tide Handy things to bring: Bucket, screwdriver, boots, work gloves, tea towel, clean clothes, and garbage bags (for the oysters *and* dirty clothes). And of course: bring an oyster knife, lemon, and champagne too 🍋🥂 Because you’ll want to taste something right away, won’t you! The oyster season runs from September to about April / early May, so now that the water isn't so cold, this is the perfect outing. In the full guide, I share exactly where you can easily find them, without much effort. Comment oyster and I'll send it to you right away! Who do you want to go oyster gathering with soon? ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 These are those few magical weeks each year when the city suddenly feels different. Everything is in bloom and all you want to do is be outside. Coffee to-go in hand, and just head out as soon as the sun shows up. 📍 Bloesempark – Amsterdamse Bos (the classic, yes it gets busy, but totally worth it) 📍 Rijksmuseum 📍 Fruit Garden of West 📍 Westerpark 📍 Jozef Israëlskade 📍 WG site 📍 Nelson Mandelapark 📍 Bos en Lommerplantsoen 📍Amstelpark By mid-April most of the sakura will already be gone, so if you want to catch it: this is your moment. I'll definitely be doing a few more rounds before it's over. ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck _______________________________________________ 🌸 Discover the best places to spot cherry blossom in Amsterdam and enjoy the sakura in full bloom. 🌸
