Your starting point is “Broodje Mokum”, it’s the first stop of your self guided Jordaan food tour. It’s a wonderful local lunch place, which breathes the atmosphere of the Jordaan.
It’s a worthwhile visit. Locals were awesome, the quality of the food was superb and it was a very interesting taste of diferents specialties. Everywhere charged us what the selfguied tour said theywould or even less!!! Everyone was so friendly! Cheese at the cheese place was one of our favourites, and the apple pie too, the fish shop was a tasty surprise, but the girl at Mr. Mokum took our hearts. When we arrived there, she only had leftovers because it was late, so she encouraged us to come back the next day if it was possible, She was so sincere, that we decided to come back for lunch the next day and it was lovely!!! Very tasty and different sandwiches. (We couldn’t taste the ice creaam place, because it was the only place closed this time of the year). A peace and realixing walk tour in a friendly borrough.
We had a fun time checking out the various food sites. And, the owners/greeters/servers were each so welcoming and helpful. Plus, we enjoyed the ‘story’ behind each of the places.
Savour authentic Dutch treats at curated family owned foodie spots. Yum!

If you must know, it’s a beautiful collection of Jordaan’s traditional (take-away) foods. Starting with the most famous meatball in the district, delicious cheese tasting at the best Jordaan store, followed by Amsterdam’s most famous ice cream, a selection of best Dutch sausages, apple pie Amsterdam is proud of, herring and kibbeling (fried cod), and a slider by renowned local chef. Come hungry.
Great question! Even though you’re setting off on the tour on your own, we use time slots to keep things smooth and enjoyable.
Here’s why:
We collaborate with charming family businesses and small food vendors who simply can’t handle a crowd of 20 all at once. Think of it like this: you wouldn’t want to be elbow-to-elbow with a dozen other foodies while trying to savor that delectable Dutch cheese, right?
By booking a time slot, we try to ensure that each stop is a pleasant, uncrowded experience for you and the local vendors. Of course, if you’re tempted to start earlier or later, just know that it might be a bit busier than your scheduled time.
In this day and age, you can easily share it with your entire clan with a simple click. But do us a favor. We’re an independent local business, just like the ones that you’ll support during this experience. Be a pal. Traveling in a group? We have a sweet deal for 2/3 persons or more. The more people buy, the bigger discount you get. Don’t be cheeky, simply get a family discount.
No sweat. Reach out to us right here.
