Lots of delicious tapas in Amsterdam
If we can't go to Spain, we'll bring Spain to us, heeuu. Jokes and jokes aside, we sometimes miss the sun, the sangria and all the goodies of the Spanish tapas bars. Don't worry, because you can really bring a little bit of Spain into your home. Et voilà, or in Spanish, y ahí Tienes - lots of great tapas places in Amsterdam.
On the lovely Reguliersgracht in Amsterdam you will find this Spanish pearl, Tia Rosa. Fine wines, an extensive authentic tapas menu (who would have expected anything else from this list) and a little birdie told us that they are also busy with a good cocktail menu. Ole!
Spanish temperament meets Dutch conviviality, that's how you should see Tia Rosa. Toast with the wines of Torres (after 300 years they really know how to make wine) or for the beer lover: clink with a Spanish beer. Fill the table with tapas, chat and pretend you're sitting in an alley somewhere in Spain. It's very easy, because you sit between wooden wine barrels and fine wooden tables, all of which are inlaid with Spanish mosaic. And what about the tapas? Well, chef José Perez, a born and bred Spaniard, knows his stuff and makes delicious dishes, just like he learned at home. Traditional tapas with a modern twist.
For a bit of Barcelona but closer to home we of course go to Barca Amsterdam at the Marie Heinekenplein in the Pijp. On the menu? Everything... think of a delicious paella, patatas bravas or a tortilla with chorizo and of course not to forget a sangria on the side. That's all well and good, that tasty food, but of course the atmosphere is also great. And that also works perfectly here good. At Barça, not only does the menu bring you into the Mediterranean atmosphere, but the cozy atmosphere also ensures that you have a pleasant stay.
With the holidays approaching, this is the perfect place for a Christmas drink with colleagues, to have a nice dinner with your family or to end the year with a toast with your friends. You can even rent part of the restaurant semi-exclusively if you are with a large group. To stay in the festive mood for a while, Barça has Barça Días all winter where you get a discount on your drinks. For a delicious sangria on Sundays we go to Sangria Sundays where you can drink a jug of sangria for €19,50 and on Martini Thursdays a martini for €7,50. You understand, we won't let ourselves be told this twice.
You will find this wonderful Spanish restaurant centrally located in the city center; Café Josélito. You have a wide choice of tapas here and the service is very fast and friendly. Cozy atmosphere inside an old Amsterdam brown café. Definitely worth a try!
Manual Broekman and Tijn Verstappen will open the Spanish restaurant Pepito on August 11, 2023. The friends have traveled to Spain several times to gain inspiration. The ideas for the new menu and the design of the new restaurant are there for the taking. The dishes at Pepito are made by real Spanish chefs. There are both fish and meat dishes such as: anchovies and calamari, Spanish croquettes with ham or meatballs in tomato sauce. There is also plenty of choice for vegetarians, such as; vegetarian croquettes with spinach and cheese. So plenty of choice!
The oldest Tapas bar in the Netherlands is located at Lindengracht 62 in Amsterdam. This cozy bar has been around for over thirty years with fresh tapas daily, the best music, delicious wines and of course a cozy atmosphere. When the sun shines, there is even a beautiful outside terrace with many tables. This place is really a piece of Spain in the Jordaan. Over the past thirty years, Duende's back room has grown into a full-fledged theater where all kinds of things are discussed.
People have all kinds of things to share Cask. Fine antipasti, excellent pizzas and sgroppino (we don't share those, by the way). Lots of Spanish and Italian wines with tasty snacks – a holiday in your own city, that's kind of the idea of Barrica.
The program loosely inspired by Latin cuisine bar restaurant Escobar is not from Ron Blaauw: the two men who open the business 'only' receive the much-appreciated 'backing' from the chef (he 'does' the menu). We can also appreciate it. And what's on that menu? Ceviche, pulpo and Spanish manchego. And where can that bar be found? At Eerste Sweelinckstraat 10 in the Amsterdamse Pijp, around the corner from Albert Cuypstraat.
Where you can also eat delicious tapas? Barcelona. Duh. Where then? Here: 20 x the best addresses in Barcelona
The estate is located far away in Amsterdam West, in the middle of the meadows the Empire of the Emperor. Here you can get married, party, meet and above all eat damn delicious food. The menu includes a strong list of delicious and original snacks, a good mix between tapas and mezze. At Het Rijk, expect seasonal dishes made from organic ingredients that end up on your plate directly from the adjacent vegetable and herb garden, or from local (very local, the neighbors for example) suppliers.
The recipe: drinks and extensive dining late hours like in the Xampanyeria in Barca, but á la Amsterdam. The kitchen of Five Brothers Fat is characterized by Spanish entrees with a twist. The Iberico ribs and scallops are not to be missed. Neither does the drinks cabinet. Champagne, cocktails and tatataa – the Five Brothers Fat have the original “Can Paixano” cava imported of the famous champagneria from Barcelona. So we can only say: Five Brothers Fat for president!
With three locations throughout Amsterdam you can always find a spot and they also have a nice spot in Haarlem.
Bar Parallel is a rustic, Catalan gem. Look. Lord knows we love all things Catalan! On the Overtoom this resort of choice. with tapas. A tasting of sea bass ceviche, tuna belly with gazpachuelo or marinated artichoke stuffed with pine nuts are among the choices. Sharing has never been so much fun, because you want to taste everything.
Not new, but tasty. And it simply cannot be missed in the tapas overview. Boca's in Amsterdam. A cozy, colorful tapas bar in the Jordaan. (The location in the Jordaan is actually the most pleasant). The cozy sofas with cushions are a great place to spend the entire evening. Bottle of wine on the table, from Grapedistrict. We like it, because not only classics, but also 'original, exciting' wines. Everything tasted by the men of Grapedistrict. The tapas is a kind of mix of Mediterranean and Dutch influences - calamari, but also mini-kapsalon with vegetarian shawarma.
Not tapas but Pintxos, we are just as crazy about those and hey, they are actually the tapas of Northern Spain, immense? Moreover, sitting The olive in one of the nicest streets in the Jordaan and the sandwiches are staring at you from the bar, as they should be.
A no-brainer, right? So Spanish, also with a terrace and too often forgotten.
On the spot where Café de Noordster once stood, that café-restaurant with that wonderfully spacious conservatory where it has been since Pikoteo Taberna took up residence, is always a bit of summer. They are open seven days a week, for lunch and dinner, and the variable tapas-style (slightly different) menu can be found on the chalkboard behind the bar. Highly recommended, that's what it is.
A whole lot of Spanish goods supplemented with many more Mediterranean snacks and drinks. Oresti's Taverna, on and at the Overtoom, there has been a glory to the being for some time. Cumin, oregano, thyme, cinnamon and from Italy to Greece, a stopover in Lebanon and the real tapas from the Spanish country. A kind of tapas from all over the world, your tongue goes on holiday. Also classics such as a portion of pulpo, pimientos de Padron and even je good old fries Bravas.
Or pay a visit Tia Rosa on the Reguliersgracht, an Amsterdam atmosphere with Spanish allure. And also Mamas & Tapas remains one no nonsense taperia. Supplemented with the chef's own twist.
You can find it in the Foodhallen in Amsterdam Jabugo Bar Iberico; yet another Spanish bar that specializes in, take a guess, Iberico ham. In addition, there are many others food stands what you get the concept of tapas can apply. Tapear in short: bar hopping Spanish style, from one tapas bar to another. So what are you waiting for? Let's get Spanish at the Foodhallen in Amsterdam. Vamos a tapear!
You will find real authentic tapas at Tapas Restaurante Dos in the Jordan. An albondigas is not a bitterbal and fries are just fries, as they poetically put it themselves. The menu is simple, but simply very good. And also very nice, every Sunday they make a huge pan of paella mixta, with chicken, calamari, prawns and mejillones. Vega is also possible, so there is no reason not to go.
Traditional tapas and classic mezze, that's what you can enjoy Jottum to expect. Plus there's always something delicious outside the menu, depending on the season. At the back of the shop there is a very beautiful, almost ugly, brown counter we love it. Another good mix between Dutch cosiness and Spanish charm.
