About this tour
This session walks De Pijp's food streets starting at the Albert Cuyp market, taking in a herring stand, a Surinamese kitchen on Van Ostadestraat and a cheese shop before finishing at a brown café. The guide explains how this neighbourhood's mix of communities shaped what is sold here today. It is a look at everyday De Pijp food rather than a single cuisine.
The session opens with a sound check, then moves between the four stops at market pace, stopping for questions whenever something on a counter catches your eye. A shortlist of what to try follows by message after the call.
This suits anyone curious about Amsterdam beyond the canals, or anyone who likes markets and everyday food streets. It also suits returning visitors who want to see how the neighbourhood has changed.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera

Welcome and sound check 10 min

Albert Cuyp market 21 min
At a stall on the Albert Cuyp market, the camera watches a stroopwafel pressed and cut fresh, and the guide explains how the market has served this neighbourhood since the early twentieth century.

Herring stand 21 min
At a nearby herring stand, the guide shows how the fish is served the Amsterdam way, with chopped onion and pickles on the side, and explains the etiquette locals follow when eating it.

Your questions 18 min
Time to ask anything about Amsterdam: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 8 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Dutch cheese (Gouda, Edam) and Jordaan, worth a slower look.
