PASKAMER >> SHARED DINING IN AMSTERDAM
Paskamer is great for small dishes and very good (matching) cocktails! The menu here is made for shared dining and so you can taste lots of goodies. Think of dishes from different cuisines as sweet potato fries, rilettes of Muscovy duck, melanzane parmigiana (grilled eggplant) and scallops.

LOUIE LOUIE >> SHARED DINING IN AMSTERDAM
Just opened, this new hot spot in the Amsterdam East. Such a nice all day spot! What you should order here is the Conjõ Lekker: a plateau with lots of goodies to share! With a variety of tacos, quesadillas, ceviche and other dishes. A personal recommendation from editor Lise!

Venus & Adonis >> SHARED DINING IN AMSTERDAM
Venus & Adonis is a recently opened grill restaurant in the Jordaan. Although you wouldn’t expect it at a typical grill, shared dining is possible here. Everything is served on wooden planks that are put in the middle of the table. That makes it even easier to share. Surf & turf just got a whole lot better!

EVERYTHING ON A STICK >> SHARED DINING IN AMSTERDAM
At Everything On A Stick in the Canal District you can eat lovely street food dishes, all served on a stick. You can compare it to a very luxury satay. The concept is that you can order an unlimited amount of sticks. With dishes like gambas in sea weed, grilled lamb marinated in rosemary dressing and more lovely sticks, you’ll go home satisfied. Enjoy!

happyhappyjoyjoy>> shared dining in amsterdam
Okay, we are fan of Happyhappyjoyjoy in Amsterdam West. The restaurant looks so cool that you might as well could’ve been in New York. The Food: Asian street food, perfect to share. Don’t forget to make reservations a while ahead, because Happyhappyjoyjoy is very popular ever since opening day. Tip: whatever you do, order the bao with peking duck: a mini burger with crunchy peking duck on a bapao sandwich.

restaurant c >> SHARED DINING IN AMSTERDAM
Restaurant C (what used to be BAUT) on the Wibautstraat in Amsterdam East is hot. Literally, because everything is about degrees Celcius here. That means that the temperature the dishes are cooked with is accentuated. To give you a clear image of the different temperatures they cook with, it’s a good idea to order a few dishes that you can share with the table. They have mackerel ceviche and pork hoisin… We like!

jd williams whisky bar >> shared dining in amsterdam
You go to the JD Williams Whisky Bar in the City Centre for Korean dishes to share and whisky. Whisky just for men? Don’t think so! At this bar you can also enjoy a nice whisky cocktail, that any woman will definitely enjoy. To pair your whisky cocktail, go for the bourbon glazed pork ribs and the edamame falafel taco, yum!

boca’s >> SHARED DINING IN AMSTERDAM
Boca’s has two locations in Amsterdam: at the Sarphatipark in De Pijp and in West. Boca’s has been a specialist in shared dining for years now. On a menu you can tick what you want to eat and a while later it is brought to you on a beautiful wooden plank. There are different categories to choose your dishes from (cheese, vegetarian, fish and meat) with many lovely dishes per category. Oops, this makes choosing still difficult ;-)

de biertuin >> shared dining in amsterdam
De Biertuin in East is not your typical shared dining spot, but just go for it. How else can you make a decision between the chicken and the burger? Definitely make sure to order the Carnivore for two, in which you’ll get the chicken, a hamburger deluxe, and a pulled pork burger. Oh, and don’t forget the fries that come with these. Really, you’ll have to roll back home.

de terpentijn >> SHARED DINING IN AMSTERDAM
De Terpentijn consists of two parts: the restaurant and the bar. In the bar part you can try some lovely Asian meets French street food. From Asian carpaccio to Javanese balls… Actually we want to tell the waiter: let us try everything!

PATA NEGRA >> SHARED DINING IN AMSTERDAM >>
An evening of eating tapas also falls under the shared dining concept! Meanwhile, the well-known tapas bar Pata Negra had several locations in Amsterdam. One in the East and one in the Utrechtsestraat. Once you enter it’s feels like you are in Spain, eating tapas all night long.
