Netherlands · DINNER EXPERIENCES
Good dinner cruises & tables fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Heated Amsterdam canal cruise with New York pizza and unlimited drinks, with captain stories. 1.5 hours from Damrak Pier 5.
“The cruise, guide and pizza were great. However, we had difficulty finding the departure point. I would have liked to see clear signage by the boats.”
A 2-hour Amsterdam canal dinner cruise from near Centraal Station with a 4-course meal, wine, and nighttime views of lit landmarks.
“Captain Mo was an excellent, well informed and very entertaining guide. All the crew was lovely. Meal quality could perhaps be a bit better, but total package was definitely worth it.”
A'DAM Lookout ticket plus Madam Sky Bar lunch or dinner voucher. 100m views, audio guide, interactive exhibits, and a timed 2-hour table.
“Espectacular views of the city, accompanied with good food!!”
2-hour Amsterdam sunset canal cruise with a 4-course dinner and unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks.
“Good food. Better than "drinks and snacks" tours. You get to see a lot of the old Amsterdam. Leaving from central station - it is easy to get to from anywhere in Amsterdam.”
Eat a 3-course dinner in pitch-black darkness in Amsterdam, guided by blind waitstaff. Sensory, meaningful, and surprisingly tasty.
“This was a very interesting activity and I would recommend it to anyone. I also recommend going with a friend, if you’re solo like me. It’s very quiet. They’re just sitting there waiting for food to come out. The food was amazing. I didn’t like that. There were so many cold dishes, especially since that was very cold. The waiter Gladys’s very kind and helpful.”
Hard Rock Cafe Amsterdam set lunch or dinner with priority seating, classic American dishes, rock memorabilia, and canal views.
“We had a lovely meal in the Hard Rock Cafe. The service was prompt and the food was well presented and tasty.”
3-hour Amsterdam canal dinner on a small boat for up to 16, with aperitif and 3-course menu. UNESCO canals at night.
“Excellent staff, attentive and helpful. Good food, quiet but good music. Interesting route. Would highly recommend.”
Amsterdam’s VEGAS dinner show at Harbour Club Theater, with a 3-course shared menu, big stage energy, and multiple seating options.
“De show was prima. Eten daarentegen viel tegen. Michelin ster prijzen en hoeveelheid maar de kwaliteit van de All you can eat om de hoek. Wij kregen net zoveel eten met z’n vijven als de tafel naast ons waar twee personen aan zaten, heel vreemd. 2 kleine stukjes kip en een stukje vis verdelen over 5 personen en een klein schaaltje nasi. We moesten maar om meer vragen als we het op hadden. Op de vraag waarom we niet meteen wat meer konden krijgen was het antwoord dat we dan mischien wel weer teveel zouden krijgen. Rare opmerking gezien de tafel naast ons met 2 personen die in principe elk…”
Amsterdam Midnight Masquerade at Supper Restaurant, a 3-hour dinner show with 4 or 6 courses, DJs, and live acts plus club access.
“An unforgettable experience at the Midnight Masquerade Dinner Show. From the moment you enter, you’re surrounded by an atmosphere of mystery, elegance, and excitement. The performances are captivating, with stunning dancers and immersive entertainment that keeps the energy high all evening. The food is beautifully presented and full of flavor, perfectly complementing the show. Service is attentive, professional, and seamless, making the entire night feel effortless and luxurious. This dinner show is the perfect blend of fine dining and high-end entertainment. If you’re looking for a unique, glamorous night out in Amsterdam, Midnight Masquerade at The Supper is an absolute must. Highly recomm...”
High-end Amsterdam 3-course dinner canal cruise with Prosecco welcome, private window table, and night views in 135 minutes.
“Absolutely fantastic experience all the way through! Food was exquisite and the boat was soooo nice!! Awesome Valentine’s Day experience.”
Enjoy a 2-hour private Amsterdam canal dinner cruise with wine and beer, a 2-course meal, and pass-by sights like Anne Frank House.
“Our captain and tour guide, Sven, was very knowledgeable and engaging. He was the best part of the tour. The food was average. The tour was overpriced.”
Small-group sunset canoe tour from Amsterdam into Waterland wetlands, with picnic dinner, easy paddling, and a guide-led history lesson.
“Exceeded expectations. Had a great time learning about the area. Her hospitality was outstanding. One of the better parts of our trip”
Eat a 3 or 4-course meal in total darkness in Amsterdam, served by blind wait staff. Senses first, food second, and great value.
“Amazing experience, with amazing food, and awesome staff. The experience is unique and we enjoyed the dinner”
An intimate Amsterdam canal dinner cruise on the Amstel with a welcome drink and a 3-course luxury meal plus Skinny Bridge and Dancing Houses views.
“Unnecessary waiting times (in wind and cold) at the boat pier - which boat can dock when seems completely unregulated and not organized at all.. The food was good - but not at all reasonable to the price. My seat at the very front of the entrance hatch not recommended - constantly freezing drafts because the windows were not completely closed.Auto-translated”
A private Amsterdam walking tour with Esmée Tours, mixing VOC-era sites and canal streets with two home-cooked dinners.
“I had such a great walking tour with Esmee. She is a real story teller and knows a lot about the city. She takes you to places ‘off the beaten track’ and we had so much fun. She is an amazing cook as well so the combination of exploring beautiful parts of the city and a dinner at her charming house is just the best! If you are in town, make sure you book a walking tour and dinner with her!”
Every kind of Dutch day, and where each one leads.
