The best place for Dutch food in Amsterdam. Homey and cozy yet welcoming. Everything is delicious and looks good. All the food was quickly made and piping hot; my beef stew and steamed potatoes were outstanding with plenty of gravy, and the cabbage onion veggie side was buttery and delicious. My wife had the schnitzel with pepper sauce and said it was fantastic, and both of us enjoyed the desserts. They have a stroopwaffel pudding that's buttery and smooth and just perfect. I highly recommend everyone go here for dinner

Hungry and looking for a place to eat, we scoured the web for typical Dutch restaurants. We headed to this pleasant restaurant, convinced of the good reviews for a place a little out of the way but with excellent value for money. Expectations have not been betrayed! it looks like there is a Dutch grandmother in the kitchen who knows the stuff about her! ! Excellent food and very nice and well disposed staff. We relied on the suggestions of the staff and we were not wrong! Chicken boiled in beer, beef stew and beef meatballs. All very very good. We will come back to see you because the place deserves our second visit. Thanks for taking care of us !! See you soon from your Italian customers.

Really great spot! It was recommended to me by some local Dutch folks who said it’s quite authentic. I had their strewed beef with fried potatoes and steamed veggies. A satisfying portion that was just the right size for a hungry traveller. Convinced myself I needed to try their pudding too. I was stuffed walking out but no regrets. The pudding was a delicious end. My total with a Coca Cola was only €23.50 - which seems like great value considering the cost of some other mediocre meals I had in Amsterdam. Cute atmosphere and good / quick service. I went for an early dinner right when it opened, on a Wednesday evening - it filled up quickly but there wasn’t a queue yet when I left.

In A Nutshell: -Hap Hmm is the place where true locals go to grab an authentic Dutch meal. -Several reviews have recommended making a reservation, but I was able to walk in as soon as they opened at 5pm. -I did hear the phone ring several times from people calling to make reservations for later times, so if you decide to eat a late dinner, I would advise calling ahead. -I met this man who has been eating nearly everyday here, he was super nice & I sat down to eat dinner/chat. -The family that works there is very kind, I felt like I was invited into their house for dinner. -The menu is short & simple. -I first ordered the Dutch Shrimp Salad (the tiny shrimp are fresh from the North Sea), it was served a small glass cup w/ some greens & dressing. -My main course was the Viennese Schnitzel which comes w/ a side of boiled or roasted potatoes & peas/carrots. -I love eating schnitzel when I visit Europe & theirs did not disappoint :) -The boiled potatoes & peas/carrots paired perfectly. Overall, the prices aren't bad, very affordable & the entire dining experience was very homely.

A hidden gem well worth extra walk! Traditional Dutch food which tasted homemade, evoked the feeling of home - accompanied with interesting space this place is must go! Entering the restaurant felt like visiting a Dutch grandma - narrow hallway, inviting dining space that felt like Entering a grandma's living room, full of cute trinkets and decor. Place looks traditional, with a traditional food and nice staff - authentic experience for a decent price tag. This place deserves a visit, especially after a long day exploring the city.

This place is great. It looks like you are eating in someone's house who turned their living room into a restaurant. The beef stew is great and the schnitzel is amazingly crispy with nice pepper sauce. And the pudding is really really good. Lovely staff. Good beer. Nice 👍

Very delicious Dutch food, friendly staffs,and the meal is too big to eat by myself. If you want to taste good Dutch food, you must come here! By the way, l have an Amsterdam chicken stewed in beer as my dinner.

Great homemade style food, friendly staff and good choices of starters, mains and dessert. Also good choice of vegetarian food. I had the beef stew special with red cabbage and potatoes which was tasty and filling. Just be aware that sometimes the translation to English is slightly different. What I ordered in English didn't state it came with potatoes but the Dutch description did.

Very nice experience at a local restaurant. We had the Stewed Beef and Amsterdam Chicken and they were amazing. We were also served a sort of white asparagus that we had never had but was amazing. The service was really nice and extremely fast. Make sure to get a reservation if going towards the weekend, you have a good shot of getting one if you call.

This was the best Dutch meal we had during our week in the Netherlands. The beef stew and meatballs were both delicious, and we really enjoyed the vegetable side dishes as well. The service was kind and the prices were affordable.

It is a cozy place with a nice decoration. Their dishes are simple and very tasty. The craft beer was delicious. We were greeted very kindly. The menu is also in English although it is a typical Dutch restaurant. The prices seemed very affordable regarding the quality and quantity of the food.

This restaurant had a beautiful and Lovely old fashioned feel to it, the services was lovely and polite, everything was cooked very fresh and cooked to perfection. If you want a homely cooked meal this is the place, it’s the sort of cooking my grandmother would cook with loads of fresh vegetables and simple meat dishes. The desserts are very simple but done beautifully. We had a great experience thank you very much

Wonderful beef stew and delicious vegetables. The tomato-mozzarella veggie burger was a surprise delight. Feels like straight from grandmother's kitchen. Good beer, good food, good people.

Stewed Beef and Schnitzel were awesome. Also tried their Natte local beer and would recommend trying / supporting local. While popular among tourists it still appeared to be where many locals frequented. We went around 6:30pm on Sunday and didn’t have any wait time.

Never tried Dutch before, went there at lunch time on Friday last week and was extremely impressed. Seems to be a place mainly for locals, very reasonably priced and the food is incredible. I did not know that dutch food was so good. Place is small so you may need to wait a bit to be seated, definitely worth it though, the restaurant I liked the most in Amsterdam

Cozy place. Staff is very friendly. Soup of the day was terrific. Stewed beef was spot on. Price is fair. I would recommend this restaurant.

An absolute Dutch gem! Hap Hmm offers some traditional Dutch cuisine in a very quaint, homely setting. This mix can be very difficult to find in Amsterdam. The food was fantastic; stewed beef and a chicken schnitzel. The staff and service was fantastic, very friendly and very personable. We went bang on 5pm and managed to get a table but it can fill up pretty quickly so might want to consider booking. If you love your food and you want a glimpse of tradition, this is a must! We loved it!

Great meal here tonight! The service was friendly and fast, and the food was amazing. We both had the schnitzel, which was delicious and perfectly cooked, and the fried potatoes were amazing! I also had the homemade pudding for dessert, which was great! Definitely recommend making a reservation, as this place is small and very busy! You will not regret going!

Hollands Hap Hmm Restaurant was a hidden gem in the heart of Amsterdam, offering exquisite Dutch cuisine and cozy ambiance that made it an ideal destination. Reservations were highly recommended to secure a table at this popular spot. Great service

Lovely staff who were very attentive but not annoyingly so. Food arrived quickly and was delicious. I certainly did not need to finish the fried potatoes but I couldn’t help myself. Would definitely come here again.

I was traveling Amsterdam on my own and I decided to have dinner at this place based on the reviews. The staff are so friendly. They offered a warm welcome even though I visited the restaurant as a solo diner. The food is absolutely delicious. One of the best stews I have eaten in my life. I wanna go there again and take all my friends and family to share the restaurant. It is a bit tricky to find a table for a group as I have seen but I was lucky to arrive for the dinner early. The work for a very limited time. I wanna go there again!

This is an extraordinary, delightful jewel of a restaurant. Somewhat out of the way, definitely out of the mainstream, completely unassuming and un-self conscious, and oh so good! It's a rarity in Amsterdam, because it features authentic Dutch cuisine, done really well, without any of the touristy trappings of so-called Dutch restaurants in the more commercial sections of town. I discovered the restaurant quite by chance, while walking around the neighborhood, as it’s rather low-key, but its warm and inviting presence piqued my curiosity, as well as it’s menu, which is purely Dutch. We had a delicious mushroom cream soup, a schnitzel, and a chicken stewed in beer, and it was all perfect. As side dishes we had some creamed leeks and Brussel sprouts with faba beans, beautifully seasoned ( I’m not usually a fan of any of these vegetables, bit these were yummy!!), a portion of boiled potatoes, and a portion of fried potatoes. The thing is, neither the boiled nor the fried potatoes conform to the mental image that I carry for either dish: all I can say is that both were delicious! I closed with a bowl of berries in a sort of home-made yogurt that again, defies description. Far better and tastier than it sounds. The most remarkable thing? This restaurant is not expensive. It’s not “moderately priced”. In fact, it’s downright inexpensive! Surprisingly so! In other words, don’t miss it. You’ll be glad you went. And if you’re visiting Amsterdam, and looking to experience truly authentic Dutch food that’s not made for tourists, and not overpriced, then this is the place to go!

We came here for our thanksgiving dinner for a change of pace. It was a fantastic location, the food was amazing the prices were extremely reasonable. We had appetizers, main courses, and desert for 6 and it was still only about €100!!!! The staff is wonderful and took great care of us. They did not rush us. The location is small, so call ahead for seating or come early.

Delicious Dutch food – felt really authentic (though I must say, am not Dutch). The place is really casual, feels like you're eating at home. Friendly staff, quick service and good priced.

Good service and delicious dutch food with a simple but comfortable atmosphere. Very affordable prices as well considering it is in central Amsterdam.

The beef stew is phenomenal, the atmosphere is that of a small family run establishment that's been around a while (not in a bad way necessarily), the service is good and the prices are too. Friendly staff and great food, all I'm really looking for. You can't go wrong with Hap Hmm!

Authentic and delicious! This truly a hidden gem but really worth going the extra mile to get there… pricing is very reasonable and the food is delicious! I can’t wait to come back!!

(Translated by Google) Just like before the corona "era" it was again a delicious meal at Hap-Hmm last night. The mushroom cream soup was delicious and the salmon fillet with white wine sauce and leek as a vegetable was delicious! My wife had beef stew, and she liked it very much. Macaroon pudding with whipped cream for dessert was also not to be sneezed at. In short, very successful! (Original) Zoals ook voor het corona "tijdperk" was het gisterenavond wederom een heerlijke maaltijd bij Hap-Hmm. De champignon creme soep was heerlijk en de zalmfilet met wittewijnsaus en prei erbij als groente was verrukkelijk! Mijn vrouw had stoofpotje rundvlees, en dat smaakte haar ten zeerste. Bitterkoekjespudding met slagroom als toetje was ook niet te versmaden. Kortom, zeer geslaagd !!

Delicious food with big portions! We were looking for a place for local Dutch food and read a review for Hap Hmm so decided to come to this restaurant. A little restaurant hidden in what looks like a residential area of Amsterdam. Portions are big, flavors are good. My husband and I decided on the set menu and we weren't disappointed. We read a lot of reviews that told us to arrive early. It was a weekday we arrived at 500pm. It opened at 5pm and there were already locals seated and ordered. The restaurant was full with a line up by 530. They moved meals rather fast but still would recommend coming early for a meal.

Very good local food and great service. Well worth a try if you want Dutch food well made.

Visited this restaurant as it had good reviews. Starting to think these reviews are fake. I was served by two waitresses, both were cold and unfriendly . Service was terrible and the waitresses hardly paid attention to our table. One of them pretended to ignore me when I asked for help. Interestingly, the waitresses seemed to be polite and friendly towards locals ... we are north americans for context. Food was ok, nothing impressive, but there is nothing that can make up for such disrespectful ​service. I rarely if ever leave reviews on establishments but this experience motivated me like none other. 1 star review, worst restaurant experience in Amsterdam so far.

Definitely one of the best restaurants in Amsterdam to enjoy delicious food. Simple cuisine that is fulfilling the taste boxes without needing to be set in decadent surroundings. Its like a local pub - but with a more homely feel, since it is in a home. Can vouch for the stewed beef and Amsterdam chicken. Grandmother's pudding is an interesting take on trifle; not too heavy or sweet and without jelly.

Soo good! It has a really cool old school vintage vibe! They're really customer friendly and the food is made with so much love and details! It's delicious and the price is definitely worth it. You got a lot of homecooked traditional food, so you won't go home still being hungry. And it smells like you're visiting your mother or grandparents for dinner.

(Translated by Google) super tasty Dutch pot, at an affordable price! (Original) super lekkere hollandse pot, tegen een betaalbare prijs!

Make reservations in advance or visit at off peak hours around 5pm! We got the beer chicken, the Dutch steak and the soup of the day. It was a homely meal with reasonable prices but to us it was slightly on the saltier side. Personally do not think it is worth the long queue, but we got in without waiting so it was fine. Met a local who had been visiting the restaurant at least every week for the last 25 years so its definitely authentic! Would definitely visit again the next time.

非常好吃的荷蘭菜 有熱湯可以喝 也有蔬菜可以吃 沒有事先訂位 排了一下下 我覺得口味很符合東方人的口味 價格也不貴 店員的服務太多也很好 很推薦大家到阿姆斯特丹的時候來吃

Excellent food, good service and decent atmosphere. The staff is quite good and give you space to talk among yourself. I recommend the rabbit plate for your entree and the pudding for your dessert. A good restaurant that has does have a little bit of wait time. However their is a lidl across the street that does help kill time. I would recommend this restaurant to those who want an authentic Holland restaurant.

Loved this traditional Dutch restaurant. Busy with it's own atmosphere. The house speciality beef stew and veg was superb. Try a pudding. Service was friendly and swift. Overall excellent and good value.

Really busy place with local Dutch food. I wanted to try stamppot and famous pea soup, but they told me that its winter dishes. I had a Dutch shrimp salad and house wine. Place is small and not expensive, lots of locals come to dine there.

One of my favorite restaurants in the world! Dutch food may not get the best rep but Hap Hmm has some of the most delicious food I've ever tasted. The atmosphere is very cozy and homey, and I got the Dutch beef stew with boiled potatoes and vegetables. My friend and I shared a chocolate cake for dessert and I was floored at how perfect it was. It was such a wonderful meal and the servers were all kind and attentive. I loved it so much, I convinced them to let us in three nights later without a reservation. Definitely make one because this place is full every night!

Excellent food at a great price point with lovely service. The restaurant is very small and intimate packed with both locals and visitors, hence I highly recommend making a reservation as we got turned away the first night when we showed up without one. We made our reservation over email and Cecilia was very quick to respond. We both ordered the schnitzel with pepper sauce and boy was it absolutely delicious! We tried the fried and boiled potatoes and they were both excellent, and all meals came with a large portion of vegetables. Ended the meal with grandma’s pudding and it was great! I highly recommend this place to anyone who’d like to try delicious Dutch food in Amsterdam.

Traditional Dutch restaurant, which we found hard to find in Amsterdam! Great staff, we even got there 5 minutes after the kitchen closed but they let us order anyway. We had the Dutch steak and chicken in peppercorn sauce, both come with potatoes and vegetables and we got the crepe suzette.

Nice to have a restaurant with traditional Dutch food. I really liked it. The red cabbage isn't that tradional, but still taste really good. I assume they adjusted the dish a bit so the international people like it. I would def. recommend the restaurant.

This place is super popular around dinner time - went here as a party of two, and was able to get a seat right away, although other larger groups had to wait for a bit. We cam here to get some traditional Dutch food, and ordered the stewed beef, meatball, and chicken. It can with servings of potato (either boiled or fried), and vegetables. The stewed beef and chicken were our favourites, and it was a satisfying meal overall.

Delicious food! Hard to find in between homes.

Found the place on TimeOut's top 22 restaurant. No regrets coming! Made a reservation via email on Sunday (for a Monday booking) & they replied me on the same day! Great food & v nice team! Every dish was good! Sides are separately charged but not expensive. Beer by bottle (not on tap)

Very cute restaurant with a real local feel. I had the stewed beef (their speciality) and it was very delicious. Service was good and people were very friendly. I was lucky to find a place by walk-in, but it would be better to have a reservation.

Tasty, value for money, qui k service. Local food.

From Australia wanted a real Dutch dinner and Holland Hap Hmm restaurant gave exactly that! Beautiful fresh home cooked meals. Quick and easy helpful service. Highly recommend going to this restaurant 🤩🤤

Very friendly staff. Some food isn't available if you are unlucky as they only make their food fresh so once their daily stockpile runs out that's all for the day. I can wholeheartedly recommend their fried potatoes :)

(Translated by Google) Again the food was delicious Service was great again And the table was cozy again (Original) Was weer heerlijk het eten Bediening was weer top En de tafel was ook weer gezellig

(Translated by Google) Always good food, smooth service, delicious house wine and the carpaccio is really tasty (not like Cafe Restaurant Amsterdam) oh yes and the beer chicken is a must. (Original) Altijd lekker eten, vlotte bediening, heerlijke huiswijn en de carpaccio is echt lekker ( niet zoals Cafe Restaurant Amsterdam) oh ja en de bierkip is een aanrader.

(Translated by Google) Good and tasty Dutch pot (Original) Goed en lekker hollandse pot

(Translated by Google) Beforehand: This is not the place for modern food, for experimental food or for food with a different kitchen. This is a restaurant that has become rare but that still serves the food that was served before the Second World War. It reflects the old Dutch style. The interior is also reminiscent of this style, simple, wood and views of old Amsterdam. A lot of older neighbors come here, all known by their first names and they expect (I think) what they used to get, a piece of meat, potatoes and vegetables. Holland is (has been) a region of farmers and fishermen and this restaurant clearly has its roots in this time. So what you come for is an experience of old Holland, its food culture and of course accompanying dishes. The food is simple, tasty and very well priced for Amsterdam. Live the old days and enjoy the food. But that is also exactly what you should expect and undergo. This is what you come here for. (Original) Vooraf: Dit is niet de plek voor modern eten, voor experimenteel eten of voor eten met een andere keuken. Het gaat hier om een restaurant dat zeldzaam is geworden maar dat nog het eten serveert dat er al voor de tweede wereldoorlog werd geserveerd. Het weerspiegelt de oude Hollandse stijl. Het interieur doet ook aan deze stijl denken, simpel, hout en aanzichten van het oude Amsterdam. Er komen hier vooral veel oudere buurtgenoten, allemaal bij hun voornamen bekend en die verwachten (zo denk ik) wat ze ook vroeger kregen, een stukkie vlees, aardappels en groenten. Holland is een streek van boeren en vissers (geweest) en dit restaurant heeft duidelijk zijn wortels in deze tijd. Waar je dus voor komt is een beleving van het oude Holland, de eetcultuur daarvan en uiteraard bijbehorende gerechten. Het eten is simpel, smaakvol en voor Amsterdam zeer goed geprijsd. Beleef de oude tijd en geniet van het eten. Maar dat is ook precies wat je moet verwachten en ondergaan. Hier kom je voor.

Great traditional Dutch restaurant! Chicken in beer was incredible and the beer selection was all from the local brewery. Cheap house red too. Friendly and attentive service.

(Translated by Google) Nice little place for traditional eating. We ate here one evening and booked for the next day. Excellent food and beer (although only bottled) and very kind staff.

Good traditional food

(Translated by Google) Prices are okay for Amsterdam, the food tastes good, but served unusually quickly - everyone can decide for themselves whether that is a good sign or not. The staff is friendly, the menu is relatively straightforward. (Original) Preise sind für Amsterdam okay, Essen ist geschmacklich gut, jedoch ungewöhnlich schnell serviert, ob das ein gutes Zeichen ist oder nicht ist, kann jeder für sich entscheiden.

A bit of a curate's egg! My beef was lovely, but don't offer vegetarian if you're just going to serve bought-in, low quality frozen rubbish.

Traditional Dutch meal in a pleasant atmosphere. We had excellent, friendly service and very good food. Very affordable. It was a nice surprise. The entree was served by itself and the side vegetables and potatoes were served separately, which made it feel even more like a home cooked meal. We ordered the fish entree and it was well prepared.

(Translated by Google) Really good dishes at prices below the average in Amsterdam, a cozy and home-made place. Recommended!! (Original) Piatti davvero buoni a dei prezzi sotto la media di Amsterdam, locale accogliente e casereccio. Consigliato!!

i recommend tomato soup and stewed beef (grilled) it is served with some veggies and potato. they are all yummy. price is the best, everyone is extremely friendly. love it!

(Translated by Google) Typical Dutch restaurant. Excellent quality, fair prices. (Original) Ristorante con cucina tipica olandese. Ottima qualità, prezzi onesti.

(Translated by Google) Hap hmm is a small, informal family run restaurant located near the Vondelpark area. Excellent and abundant typical Dutch dishes that are always accompanied by vegetables, with the possibility of having French fries for just one euro more. Cheerful and very friendly staff; good value for money. The only two negative notes of the restaurant are the inability to pay by credit card and the closing time (too early), which are however obscured by the goodness of the kitchen. If you are looking for a place to eat typical dishes, as a Dutch grandmother would cook them, this is the right place. (Original) Hap hmm è un piccolo ristorante informale a gestione familiare che si trova vicino alla zona del Vondelpark. Piatti tipici olandesi ottimi ed abbondanti che vengono sempre accompagnati da verdure, con possibilità di avere patatine fritte ad un solo euro in più. Personale allegro e molto cordiale; buon rapporto qualità/prezzo. Le uniche due note negative del locale sono l'impossibilità di pagare con carta di credito e l'orario di chiusura (troppo presto), che vengono però oscurate dalla bontà della cucina. Se state cercando un posto dove mangiare dei tipici piatti, come li cucinerebbe una nonna olandese, questo è il posto giusto.

The experience was very nice. You can feel the local atmosphere as there are a lot of local clients. I have ordered an amazing mushroom soup, some baked chese with vegetables and my girfriend had Amsterdam chicken. Together with the drinks and desert we paid less than 50 e. We recommend this place to someone who want to eat good and spend some time with the locals.

Lovely place for traditional food. Staff was very friendly.👍🙂

My friend and I had a dinner here at Friday night and the only comment I could say is that you must give it a try. I had a pork chop, which is really tasty and tender. Finished up with a eggnock dessert, which is fantastic and worthy to try. First time having dutch food and am very impressed!! The lady who served us, who is with short hair, is soo friendly and helpful with ordering, and I have to say thank you very much. Well generally it's a really cozy restaurant, just like home.

Fast and easy.

We were cold and tired so canceled our reservations across town and decided to try this place based on the reviews and convenient location near our hotel. I consider this basic Dutch food, tasty and very reasonably priced (we paid more for pancakes in a tourist trap than for this substantial dinner with wine). Comfort food, efficient, friendly service. Stewed beef and chicken, potatoes, vegetables. Perfect for an easy-going casual dinner.
