This restaurant is so cute! It is decorated with lots of greenery, the front area is more intimate with plush seating booths and a bar, perfect for date night. The area in the back is table and chair seating, during the daytime you can see the sky through the clear ceiling. Service was fast and the wait staff were attentive and recommended what to order. My friend and I ordered a few items each and shared. Food was really delicious, pricey for sure but good. Drinks were tasty as well. Reservations are recommended. This is my second time dining here, first time for lunch and second was for dinner. Next time, I think I would like to try to sit near the bar - the vibe just seemed different in that area.

This was absolutely the best meal I have ever had, and almost everything was able to be made gluten free! The drinks were unbelievably good (so much so that I cannot quite remember what exactly I ordered) and the decor was incomparable. The tables were a perfect distance apart, the wait staff was very easy to get a hold of, and it was the highlight of my trip to Amsterdam!

Frens Haringhandel was my favorite stop for food on a recent trip to Amsterdam. On my first visit I…read moretried the Herring Sandwich. Soft bread was filled with soft tender fresh herring (which had no fishiness in its flavor), crisp onions and tangy pickles. I understand why this is a popular street food. On my second visit I had the Fried Cod. Meaty and flakey nuggets of Cod were coated in a perfectly crisp breading with a nice saltiness and flavorful spices. The side of tartar sauce was heavenly creamy, sweet and tangy. Frens Haringhandel is a must visit.

This place is ALL OVER social media, but is it worth the hype? Absolutely…read more We stopped here in October 2025, after an already filling late lunch. But we knew we had to try it, and life is short. It is a tiny stand located along a central canal in the heart of the city. Business is hopping here. We got the picked herring and kibbeling, which are the main staples here. The pickled herring was, well, something you either love or don't. It has somewhat of a gelatinous texture that can be off-putting, but when you take a bite with the sides of sweet pickles and onions, it shines. The Kibbeling was out of this world. Perfectly fried with a crunchy batter that had a hint of, hmmm, curry, maybe. It was amazing. Although the batter was thick and tasty, it didn't outdo the delicious cod. The staff here was friendly, and having this Dutch food along a canal in Amsterdam made for a memorable experience. There are plenty of places to sit near the stand - enjoy this tasty food and watch the world go by.
