Restaurants Near Ann Frank House - Not Rijsttafels

About halfway from the Anne Frank House and your hotel is Restaurant 't Zwaantje, which serves traditional Dutch food. I recommend making reservations. You can do it easily on their website.

Looks like we have a similar schedule on the April 5 tour. I'll be on the lookout for that restaurant.

Thank you Mary, it looks perfect!

I agree with Mary’s recommendation. With the exception of one dish, I didn’t find our rijstaffel spicy in the sense of hot. It was certainly flavorful and spices were involved. After being at AF House, some comfort food is the right choice. Get the beef stew at Zwaantje.

We ate at Moeders- (Mothers), which serves Dutch Comfort food. Try the Stamppot

Reservations are a must!. It's a small place. The walls are decorated with pictures of people's mothers.

I enjoyed Black & Blue, a steak house right around the corner from the Anne Frank House on Leliegracht, though that might not be in the right direction for your hotel.

Thank you Derek, we've selected Moeders for another night

If you are looking for more recommendations, I propose the Seafood Bar. There are a few locations in Amsterdam. We went at lunch and did not need reservations. But the place filled up very quickly.

Another vote for Restaurant 't Zwaantje. We ate there a year ago February and it was very good.

The other place that we loved was The Pantry. You definitely need reservations, but it was soooo good!
