I know a lot of people drop by de Bijenkorf for shopping, but it's honestly a decent spot to drop by for a snack or a meal. They serve food/drinks cafeteria style, but the food is freshly prepared and pretty delicious. And staff can help with any modifications as well. I only went here for some light bites, but honestly would've eaten more if I didn't have dinner plans already. I also enjoyed the mint tea which was full of mint leaves and came with a cookie. The staff were friendly and quick with processing orders. There's also plenty of seating with a great view overlooking the city. read more

We were just walking around the department store and happened to find The Kitchen at the top floor. We decided to eat here since we were hungry. There is a variety of cuisines here. It's kind of like a cafeteria. We had the salmon, which was made to order. If you need to refuel after shopping, then this is a convenient and tasty option. read more

De Bijenkorf Kitchen - Salmon - Cafes Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Massive food venue on the top floor of De Bijenkorf. I highly recommend stopping here for a beak and grab something, go on the roof terrace and relax. More open than what you will find anywhere else in the area. Reminds me of a museum food cafeteria, but those can be nice too! read more

De Bijenkorf Kitchen - Cafes Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

On the top floor of the department store. It is sort of like a higher end food court with 6-7 food areas to choose from. I got an awesome grilled veggie, greens and burrata cheese plate. Choices range from over the top burgers to fresh wok veggies and Asian noodles to fish of the day, soup and bakery items. Beer, wine, coffee, non-alcoholic drinks. Prices are reasonable. You can sit inside or they have table service in the outdoor garden area. read more

After a quick tour of the palace across the square, my wife and I were in search of some food. This was a great find on the top floor of De Bijenkorf! Plenty of cuisines to choose from. We went with bowls of tomato soup and sandwiches. Delicious, and just what we needed after getting caught in the rain. Although it's cafeteria style, the vibe is chic and modern and it feels classy, which fits the rest of the building. Great stop. Would dine again! read more

De Bijenkorf Kitchen or De Bijenkorf Restaurant or The restaurant on the 5th floor of De Bijenkorf is actually quite a nice place to eat for around €15 per person. What I noticed first when I wanted to check in on Yelp was that the food court doesn't really have a distinct name. I had to check online to find the word "Kitchen" hidden deep away within the website. The plates, and pretty much everything else, has "De Bijenkorf" on it. Anyway, this place looks like La Place but considerably less busy and way more stylish. Everything looks a bit more modern... a bit more sterile and less taverny, if you will. Unlike La Place, I find the quality and execution of the food here to be better. For the grilled salmon, for example, you pay a euro or two more but I like the one here better. More diverse vegetables, a nicer sauce and less potatoes. It looks nicer, feels healthier and tastes great! The cod was a bit boring but still good. Nothing was overcooked, which is easily done with fish. I only tried a few things but I will definitely go back to try the other things that piqued my interest. The lasagna looked amazing and the proportions are relatively generous, I would say. They had smoothies, fresh juices, frozen yogurt, nigiri sushi (although they only had sake nigiri sushi, which is a filet of salmon on a bed of sushi rice), Custom Magnum ice cream (OH!! I'll tell you a bit more about this one!), steak, Asian wok (noodles and rice) and custom salads with things like olives, sautéed mushrooms, leafy greens, potatoes and more. I probably forgot to mention a few things. The Custom Magnum was pretty awesome! For €4 you pick 3 toppings. I chose pistachios, rose petals and chili! "A whole spoon of chili"? She asked me. "Yes, please"! I replied. "Even two if that's possible". Then they'll shake it for you, cocktail style. Then they unwrap a naked Magnum ice cream for you and you choose into which chocolate they're going to dip it for you; white, milk or dark. I chose white. Then they'll sprinkle your chosen toppings on both sides of your freshly dipped and still gooey chocolate before it solidifies. Then they'll pour some more chocolate zig zag over the toppings on your Magnum. I chose white again! The results of my custom Magnum: Vanilla ice cream with crushed pistachios and spicy vanilla chocolate with a hint of rose. Ghlghglhglhg... MOAR!!! Try it out. When I went, there were no long lines or waiting times but the food was still fresh and properly executed. I'll definitely go back. Also good to know is that they have tables, bars and sofas. read more

De Bijenkorf this large department store is located on Damrak Street opposite Dam Square. I visited the restaurants on the top floor several times. This is self-service without a waiter, it is very clean. The dishes are presented nicely and you can choose dishes in various styles, eg Asian, Italian, steak, seafood etc. There are also various soups, salads, sweets and wine, beer and coffee. The dishes are taken on a large tray and paid at the checkout. Price for soup, salad, main course, cake and a glass of wine or beer around the US $ 20. Next, to the restaurant, there is also a restroom. I recommend. read more

A comfortable stop to eat after shopping. You know what you will be getting and you know the quality will be good. The food is pretty good, it's quality food, but it's nothing special. You will always get the same things, buts somethings there is a little special here and there. It's not really a restaurant per se, as much as it is a kitchen really. You get your tray and go choosing... You can go from kitchen to kitchen to get the dish you want. There is a grill kitchen, italian one, asian one, etc... You can also get soups, salads, yogurt, fruits, smoothies, juices and desserts all in the same place, and then just pay for it altogether. The juices are delish!! I love their juices, they are so fresh. The asian noodles & the beef from the grill are usually my best options whenever I go there. I'm not crazy about their desserts, I rather just dessert somewhere else if I still feel like it. There are many bakeries nearby on other streets. And it's always great to walk a bit after eating a meal! ;) On summer days, it's great to have a cup of coffee and sit on the terrace. read more

TL;DR - OK, so it's a department store restaurant - but it's a *really* good one. On the top floor of De Bijenkorf, this place has pretty much everything you could ask for. There's a huge range of counters serving all kinds of varieties of different foods, ranging from light bites and cakes through to huge meals. It's self service - grab a tray, have a wander until you see something you fancy and then queue up. There's loads of seating, the pricing is reasonable and the whole place is nicely decorated - we loved the wall of herbs growing in wooden crates. Other tip top tip - you'll find customer toilets at the end of restaurant which don't charge for admission. read more

In short: Handy. The food is rather average when it comes to creativity. They make some interesting smoothie and juice combos, but the main courses are quite standard. For the main dish you have a choice between a couple of stations; offering pizza, grilled meat, grilled fish, and wok. There is also a limited selection of sushi. Besides the main course stations you can mix your own salad at the salad bar (which is quite nice, actually), or pick from the pre-made salads or sandwiches, as well as chose between two soups. The desert station is quite appealing to the eye, though I have not tried it yet. You can also make your own Magnum, which to be quite honest, I did not know was a 'thing'. The meat and fish main courses come with potatoes / fries and a small salad, so are quite sizable and will definitely fill you up. Same goes for the wok dishes. I have tried the grilled fish, entrecote, and the beef as well as shrimp version of the wok dish. I think that they are quite tasty and make for a hearty lunch or dinner. Overall, if you are hungry and have been shopping the whole day, and cannot be bothered with thinking of a place to go to or making a reservation, the top floor of the Bijenkorf is the place to go to. read more

I usually a regular customer here because of the fresh food and fresh belgian waffel until today, they just bought waffel from Supermarket for 90 cent and sell it there for almost 4 euro what a rip off the manager denies it but they cant lie to me i have been eating supermarket waffel before and i damn sure know the difference. read more

De Bijenkorf is such a fancy place and you'd expect their restaurants to hold the same high standard. And the top floor food court looks promising when you come up the escalators - but fail to deliver. It has happened more than once that I have gone all the way up, circled the different restaurants and then just leave - because of a total lack of inspiration. There's no passionate food, no will to exceed (or even meet) the customer expectations - what they to is serve food. On plates. I have tried the Thai food which was some kind of noodle stir fry. It was alright to fill me up. But do I remember it? No. Do I want to go back for it? Not really. Would I have it again? Yes. If starving without a better option at hand. (Their sushi did look pretty good but since in staying off fish it wasn't really an option) Bijenkorf as a place to shop is great! But save your hunger for places that deserves it more. read more

I'm a regular here. I think it's the best place to eat in Dam. They are clean and fast and have good food. I usually go for salmon. Don't forget to try their fresh juices. They should add new things to the menu though. read more

Not a bad option after a couple of hours of shopping but I wouldn't say it's an amazing option either. My friend and I ordered the curry (I forget if it was yellow or green, I think yellow) and got a bowl from the salad bar, and a few drinks. The beer was just barely on the okay side of cold, but the food was tasty. read more
