Restaurants in Amsterdam

Looking for recommendations for $-$$ restaurants (for an August trip) - do not necessarily need to be Dutch cuisine.

Take a look in the reviews section. We were there last month and I posted our restaurant reviews there, and you can read many other peoples suggestions as well.

Are you looking for recommendations in a specific part of town or are you willing to move about? What do you mean by $ or $$? Are there types of cuisine you prefer or do not want? Do you want sit down or are you do you want fast (I travel with kids so we look for healthy but fast options)?

More info would help with making recs.

$-$$ means cheap to modest prices.

“$-$$ means cheap to modest prices.”
Cheap and modest mean different things to different people. This forum can be a wealth of information but you have to help us help you. It would help a great deal if you could share how much, preferably in Euros, you’re willing to spend per person.

As an example, someone recently asked the same question you’re asking and said they were willing to spend a little more for a meal since it was to celebrate. Turns out they were willing to spend 400 or 500 euros, which is more than my family of 6 budget for 2 weeks. For them, though, it did not sound that “out-of-the-ordinary.” That is why we ask. Cheap might mean 5 euros per person for some or it could mean 20 euros per person.

Also, give us an idea of what area of town.

Mikliz, I'm sure I bookmarked your review and I can't find it . Sometimes this site makes me crazy searching for previous info.
About when did you post it? Sorry to bother you.
Thanks

I loved Gertrude in Amsterdam for small plates and natural wine. Foodhallen is also great for lunch or dinner - lots of options.
