About this spot
Van Dam serves up classic Dutch comfort food with a modern twist, where the crispy poffertjes are served warm alongside rich stamppot and hearty schnitzel. The Oud-West neighborhood vibe is perfect for lingering over a pint of local beer after tasting their signature smoked eel or creamy herring.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the poffertjes immediately upon arrival as they sell out quickly and taste best when piping hot.
- Ask for extra mayonnaise on your stamppot, as it is the traditional way to eat this potato dish in Amsterdam.
- Save room for the vla (sweet wheat porridge) dessert, which pairs perfectly with a strong Dutch coffee.
