12 Ceviche Restaurants in Amsterdam to Try

Team YLBB

 

4 February 2020

Ceviche may originate in South America, but we can also eat it in Amsterdam! What is ceviche again? Fresh raw fish with lots of lime, fresh herbs, and often with red onion. Delicious and so refreshing! For a South American experience in our capital, we've selected delicious restaurants serving ceviche in Amsterdam. Enjoy!

MOOD 👀, I woke up really early today and was scrolling through my photos of Bangkok 🌴. Then I thought: how nice if we share our booked and wishlist destinations for inspiration? I have a safari in Malawi & Zimbabwe 🐆 in the books with a stopover in Nairobi. I'm also going to Paris for a few nights by train with Manuel. So excited! I'm going to visit all the Parisian clichés and more with him ✌🏼. Also on the wishlist: China (May holiday), a midweek trip to Athens & the coast (summer), London (always a good idea), Amalfi & Rome (Manuel's dream for the autumn holiday) & Japan (Christmas holiday including skiing, tips welcome ☺️). My resolution for 2026 is also to plan more fun day trips/nights away in the Netherlands. And I would love to go to Japan solo, but oh well... first I have to get back to work 😅😉. Speaking of which: Happy new week!! I'd love to dream about your travel plans. 😘 🖊️ @anne_de_buck
NEW YEAR'S DAY IN THE NETHERLANDS 🖤 March = the month in which my favorite Sunday markets start up again in full swing. So my Sunday plans are quickly made: stroll along stalls, discover new food trucks and go home with a bag full of organic produce or a great vintage find. What I like about it? Every market has its own vibe. • @feelgoodmarket for creativity and live music in Eindhoven • Vintage heaven at @ijhallen • @sundaymarket with creative makers and food trucks • Curated vintage & design gems at @cabinetamsterdam • @fairpricedvintage for scoring vintage clothing at many locations in NL Have fun! ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck Follow @yourlbb for the best markets, restaurants, travel guides and more tips to make the most of your free time. #zondagmarkt #markteninnederland #vintagemarket #weekendtips #yourlittleblackbook
If you only go to one terrace in Amsterdam this weekend, make it @caferestaurant.meyer! What a great addition to the Amstelveld 😍. Open from 10am, a very nice lunch menu, a wine list with a bottle of rosé for €20, but also olive ice cream with caviar (incredibly delicious!). I'll be back soon to try the evening menu too. Tip: you can make a reservation on the terrace! And did I mention there's a playground next door? Have a great weekend 😘 🖊️ @anne_de_buck PS: follow @yourlbb & @yourlbb.amsterdam for more Amsterdam tips and travel guides for destinations around the world. ___________________________________________ Best terrace in Amsterdam, best new terrace in Amsterdam, lunch in amsterdam, family friendly amsterdam
My fav spot for freddo cappuccino in Amsterdam that transports me back to Greece. Add a slice of spanakopita and you have the best breakfast to enjoy along the Amstel river. My motto for the coming spring is to take more walks, so expect a lot of recs for coffee and other drinks to go in this new series! ☀️ Where should I go next? ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck
**Due to COVID-19, souvenirs are now available in bulk ❄️ Note to self: always keep room in your suitcase for 'souvenirs'. During my ski trip to Méribel, I popped into the local pharmacy just before leaving, and these are the beauty products I took home. I've tested them extensively and they're all more than YLBB-approved. Save them for your next trip to France (or your online beauty store). Which souvenirs always make it back in your suitcase? I'm curious! ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck PS: Follow @yourlbb for tons of tips to make the most of your free time — from travel tips to travel guides and more.

12 Ceviche Restaurants in Amsterdam to Try

Shefishe: From the first and only real cevicheria in the Netherlands With a choice of no fewer than six (!) different ceviches. Along with it, you can order amazing bread with their famous Sjefietshe butter, fish cakes, waffles with crème fraîche and caviar. Want even more? Then go for the catch of the day: mussels with langoustine sauce, or fried pulpo.
Van Ostadestraat 1, Amsterdam – sjefietshe.nl

Nazka PeruOn the same street as Sjefietshe, but a bit further down the road, you'll find Nazka Peru. A Peruvian fine dining restaurant serving the best Peruvian cuisine has to offer. Set aside an evening for it, bring your loved one or best friend, and enjoy!

Bam BoaInstagram paradise Bam Boa not only serves a beautiful backdrop for photos, but also tiradito (there it is again) of sea bream. The menu features about twenty smaller dishes to share. Not only Instagram-proof, but also incredibly delicious.
Weesperzijde 135, Amsterdam – bam-boa-amsterdam.com

Mussel and Gin: Not only are the shrimp croquettes and lobster croquettes delicious, but the ceviche is also one to remember. Along with your glass of white wine, order the ceviche tartare of whitefish, mussels, mango, and coconut. Mmm, this combination can't go wrong!
Gosschalklaan 12, Amsterdam – mosselengin.nl

ParallelImagine yourself in modern Spain at Parallel at the end of the Overtoom. The interior is beautiful and thoughtful (hello wood with concrete-look walls and black steel, we love you!), and the finest Spanish dishes are conjured up from the bowls. Highly recommended!
Overtoom 495-497, Amsterdam – parallel.amsterdam

PikoteoAt Pikoteo, they don't serve "real" ceviche, but their cousin, tiradito. The difference? The fish is sliced ​​instead of cubed and mixed with the other ingredients just before serving. Just as delicious!
Houtmankade 9, Amsterdam – pikoteo.nl

SJAS: The charming SJAS was opened by two friends on Chassestraat. It's a wonderful spot for all-day dining, with a consistently pleasant atmosphere and delicious dishes. Perfect for a beer, a quick bite, or a leisurely meal.
Chassestraat 62, Amsterdam – Sjasamsterdam.nl

The Lobby Fizeaustraat: One of my absolute favorites in the city is The Lobby, both the city center location and the East location on Fizeaustraat. They're great for brunch, lunch, and dinner, but the ceviche at the East location is especially amazing!

Casa Perú: For years, Casa Peru, along with its sister restaurant Mashua, was the only Peruvian restaurant in the city. Things have changed since then (and Mashua has closed), but that shouldn't spoil the fun. The ceviche de pescado on the menu is highly recommended. Made with fresh sea bass in leche de tigre with a thin sauce of lemon juice, pureed onion, red pepper, fresh cilantro, and roasted Peruvian corn.

Brine: Salmuera is a restaurant on Rozengracht canal featuring Argentinian cuisine with a modern twist. Here you'll find plenty of grilled meats and a ceviche bar with no fewer than five types of ceviche on the menu! It's the perfect spot for an evening with friends to enjoy and share everything!
