Rue d’Alger

October 29, 2025

Delicious Algerian food with vegan and meat options. Every dish was masterfully made, fresh and colourful. You get to choose a combination of several vegetables and meat with rice or couscous. The exterior and interior include a variety of fresh fruits and veggies which makes the atmosphere truly special. The owner’s warm welcome made us feel right at home and enhanced the overall homemade and wholesome dining experience. Highly recommend!

Food was SO GOOD. Lots of options. You can opt to pick 1 meat + 2 veg or 3 veg with a base (spiced rice or couscous). I chose the spiced rice, chickpeas, mushrooms and shakshuka. My friend has the chicken, beetroot and shaksuka. They then pop it in the oven and serve it with grilled chili pepper and tomato stuffed with cheese. The outside of your dish ends up getting crispy and everything inside is warm and fluffy. Heavenly. The shakshuka might be the most flavourful one I’ve ever tried, everything was so flavourful, homey and just delicious. People were super nice. There were no seats left and it was a nice day, so the guy cleared up the bench outside that was holding the baskets of (very beautiful and plump!!!) fresh veggies, for us to sit and another bench to put our plates on. Whole time we were ‘mmmm’ing and ‘oouuuh’ing as we tried each bite. Tried the baklava too, very nutty compared to the other ones I’ve tried. It was filled with walnuts and also very good. We came on a Saturday after spin, and we left feeling very full but not ‘heavy’. Later in the afternoon they serve these tarts (which were a bit too late for). Would defo come back to try them. Anyway highly recommend!!!

I can’t stress enough how good Rue d’Alger made me feel. I stopped in for dinner my first night in Amsterdam, and the staff (I wish I had asked his name) was warm, welcoming, funny, and made me feel like family. The space is cozy, artistic, and unique. I had the grilled chicken, a couple sides, and a pastry, everything was fresh and delicious. My mouth is watering just writing this. Thank you for making Amsterdam more memorable!

Best food I've had in Amsterdam. Hands down. It's a small little place, limited seating, but the guys who run it are so good at what they do, they might as well be artists. The food presentation is amazing, the taste is out of this world and I'm even just hooked in their music. The food is garnished so well, with amazing stuff. Pickled pepper and stuffed tomatoes. You cannot go wrong ordering from this place. And definitely don't forget the baklava

That was a very nice surprise, excellent Algerian food, couscous or rice with vegetables and chicken (if you wish). Very colorful and aromatic. Not heavy at all and very tasty. I highly recommend it.
