The Good Companion Amsterdam: for fish and chips and more

Love fish and chips? The Good Companion is the place to be.

At The Good Companion Amsterdam on Westerstraat, we can sit down for authentic fish and chips. Entrepreneurs Niek and Enno are bringing British comfort food to Amsterdam, and we're perfectly happy with that. Finding good fish and chips in Amsterdam is still quite difficult.

Niek and Enno decided to launch a crowdfunding campaign to raise the necessary funds. Fortunately, everything is almost done; within ten days, they've already raised over 85% of their target amount. Good job!

also dishes for vegetarians at The Good Companion Amsterdam

Not a fan of fish and chips? Or perhaps you're vegetarian? No worries, The Good Companion Amsterdam has a solution for that too. On the menu, you'll find Tofush & Chips made with tofu—I want to try that! You can also order the Catch of the Day, which changes daily because it's made with bycatch fish. Bycatch fish is normally thrown back into the sea where the fish don't survive, but The Good Companion Amsterdam uses this "catch." Pretty cool, huh?

YourLBB's latest lists

The Good Companion is located in the Jordaan district on Westerstraat and will make you feel like you're stepping into a pub. Enjoy fish and chips with your friends while you linger at the bar for hours, thoroughly sampling the unique British drinks. Gin and tonics, craft beers, ciders—they have it all at your new Friday night hangout. Cheers!
