22 X restaurants in Amsterdam where you can park easily

I regularly receive messages asking if I know where in Amsterdam it's easy to park. It's handy if you're going out to dinner straight from work with colleagues who aren't from Amsterdam or meeting friends from outside the city. Or if it's pouring rain and you still want to grab a bite to eat without taking public transport.

So, it's time for a list of restaurants in Amsterdam with easy parking! Some locations offer free parking, while others simply require you to drive into a parking garage.

Nature's abundance is central, and the menu is therefore constantly evolving. At Foer, you can enjoy a 5-course meal for €60 and a 7-course meal for €69.

The Japanese Beach Island and The Japanese South

N next to De Japanner Strandeiland (near Strand Blijburg) and the well-known establishments in Oud-West en De Pijp, De Japanner Amsterdam-Zuid recently opened its doors. And this place is unlike anything else: you can not only enjoy a delicious Japanese lunch and dinner there (De Japanner is one of our favorite Japanese restaurants in Amsterdam), but also for meetings, renting spaces for private dining, and screaming (sorry, singing) your lungs out during karaoke. A versatile venue, with something for everyone.

Wils and Wils Bakery Café

It seems like everything chef Joris Bijdendijk* touches turns to gold. In no time, Wils Amsterdam became so popular that it became the talk of the town. And it still is, because after dining here and trying the oysters doused in beef fat (heated in a special funnel over an open fire), they immediately want to make another reservation. After a while, Joris also opened Wils Bakery Café, an all-day dining hotspot like they do in France, with delicious sourdough bread from their own bakery.

Outside | Beach Cafe & Restaurant

Buiten is a fantastic city beach in Amsterdam West. Hotel Buiten Amsterdam is the perfect place to be when the sun is shining. It's a city beach without sand, but with plenty of water. Hotel Buiten is located right next to the Sloterplas lake. So it's perfect if you want to get out of the direct sun and enjoy a cold drink in the shade.

Lowlander Restaurant

The founders of the Amsterdam beer brand Lowlander's Botanical Bar & Restaurant aimed to create a "botanical heaven" to complement their ever-popular drinks. At the new Lowlander Botanical Bar & Restaurant in Amsterdam-Noord, everything nature has to offer takes center stage. Think herbs, plants, vegetables, and fruit, and the interior design also revolves around natural elements. In short: the ultimate hotspot in Amsterdam North, if only for the great terrace and ample parking.
