The jeweler

This Michelin-starred restaurant on Utrechtsestraat has been a favorite I return to time and time again since its opening. Don't necessarily expect the bistro fare you'll find on the menus of the cafes on this list. The cuisine here is top-notch, and every dish is a feast for the eyes. The menu changes regularly, but there's almost always a special steak tartare, bone marrow, and a delicious pâté en coûte on offer. There are also delicious seasonal fish dishes. In short: another reason to return to this lovely restaurant. My favorite spot is the bar for dining!
Utrechtsestraat 51, Amsterdam – restaurant-dejuwelier.nl

Flo's Appetizing, Amsterdam

At Flo's Appetizing, they specialized in the art of bagel making from day one. That proved to be a golden opportunity, as Flo's now has three locations in Amsterdam, and we wouldn't be surprised if they soon explore possibilities beyond the capital's borders. The bagels are beyond anything you've ever tasted, and so are the rich toppings. So, go for it.
Jan Pieter Heijestraat 121, Elandsgracht 89 & Utrechtsestraat 122, Amsterdam – flosdeli.nl

Flask shop

In addition to a location on Utrechtsestraat and locations in New York and Italy, Fiaschetteria is now opening on Lindengracht, in the heart of the Jordaan. This restaurant brings all the best of Tuscany to our capital. Because they certainly know how to cook. Pappardelle with ragù, tagliatelle with butter and Parmigiano, artichoke salad, and tiramisu—all hail from the Central Italian region and are served (with matching wines) at Fiaschetteria.
Lindengracht 95, Amsterdam – fiaschetteriapistoia.com

Tujuh Maret

Enjoyed shopping on Utrechtsestraat? Then head to Tujuh Maret for a delicious meal. How great is that location? It's one of the nicest streets in Amsterdam!
Utrechtsestraat 73, Amsterdam – tujuhmaret.nl

Bistro de la Mer

Bistro de la Mer is one of our go-to spots when we can spontaneously dine out. We call to check if there's a spot at the bar and hop on our bikes. This is hands-down one of my favorite fish restaurants in Amsterdam. The menu changes regularly, and the dishes look so much more beautiful than the menu suggests. This restaurant is just a few doors down from De Juwelier, and both restaurants, run by Richard van Oostenbrugge and Thomas Groot, have been awarded a Michelin star.

Tashi Deleg

Tashi Deleg is a Tibetan and Indonesian restaurant! Tibetan food is usually a bit less spicy, so if you don't like spicy food, order a Tibetan dish here instead of something Indonesian. It's delicious either way!
Utrechtsestraat 65, Amsterdam – tashideleg

Burger Meester

With three locations in Amsterdam and delivery via Uber Eats and Thuisbezorgd, a Burgermeester burger is always within reach. Quality is key here: perfectly grilled burgers with juicy meat and surprising toppings. Whether you go for a classic or a seasonal special, you know you're in good hands.
