About this spot
Balthazar's Keuken delivers the authentic warmth of traditional Dutch home cooking with hearty portions that feel like a hug from an Amsterdam grandmother. Expect rich beef stews and golden roasted potatoes served in a cozy, unpretentious setting on Elandsgracht where locals gather for comfort food. The menu changes seasonally, so keep an eye out for their signature fish dishes or root vegetable roasts depending on the time of year.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order extra bread to soak up the generous gravy from your stew plates.
- Arrive early in the evening as this popular neighborhood spot fills up quickly with families and office workers.
- Ask about seasonal specials if you are vegetarian, as they often swap meat for mushrooms or lentils.
