Why Travelers Love Moeders

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.5 / 5.0(5,540 reviews)

Service was incredibly great, people are really friendly, pleasantries and jokes were exchanged between us and the staff. Food was amazing too, highly recommended the lobster soup and bitterballen!!! We also ordered the Rijstafel but given that my friend and I were both not big eaters, we couldn’t finish it at all. Love the meat stew in the Rijstafel set and also the grilled potatoes were yummy. Highly recommended this place :) Moeders is a very famous restaurant in Amsterdam — it’s one of the go-to spots for traditional Dutch food. If you want to experience authentic Dutch home-style dishes, this is definitely the place to try. Be sure to make a reservation, as it’s popular with both locals and tourists and fills up quickly. We tried the pea soup, ribs, and beef stew — all were decent. The white asparagus soup, however, had a sour asparagus flavor that I couldn’t quite figure out. Overall, Moeders serves comforting, home-style food rather than refined Western cuisine, so if you’re looking for something fancy, this might not be it. The dishes and bowls also look quite well-used — you can really feel the restaurant’s history 😂. If I could, I’d give 10/5! An amazing concept restaurant with delicious Dutch cuisine. You should definitely try the “Dutch rice dish” the portion is generous, and the beef with its sauce… I don’t even have enough words to describe it, you just have to try it! I came to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and the staff were so warm and welcoming. They offered us a dessert and a shot of Dutch liquor while singing Happy Birthday. We’re so glad we chose Moeders for this special day ❤️ Thank you for everything ❤️your kindness, your warm welcome, and above all, your DELICIOUS cuisine!

I actually don’t know how to rate it, I know it’s more traditional Dutch food, which means I should know what I’m getting. But still, I have to say the quality of the dishes are not the best. The “lobster” soup was very very salty (I use “” because it’s shrimp). And the vegetarian Stampot was alright, but it’s nearly first time for me to not to finish my plate, not because of the portion, just pretty… boring. Anyway, we were there to see the interior and just to experience, so I guess food is less the point. Right, the slot for reservation is 1.5h, but because the main course was served very late, we didn’t have time for desert.

The ambiance and location of the restaurant is so good. We ordered 5 Dutch Ricedishes. I think there was a lot of variety of potato in it so it was not so fantastic, you need to be aware of it. Tastes of the meaty foods were so great. We went there without reservation but in the crowded days it might be problem.
