The narrow streets of the Jordaan have many dining destinations. Most of the restaurants in this tourist-friendly area are on the small side, so it's best to make reservations or avoid weekends.

Saint-Jean

$ | Jordaan Fodor's Choice

A perfect pairing like croissants and coffee is hard to top, but this plant-based patisserie has found a way to consistently impress with freshly baked pastries and a pleasing range of tea and coffee. Perched on a corner overlooking Lindengracht, fans line up early and wait patiently outside for their chance to choose from flaky, buttery, and surprisingly vegan delicacies. Popular items include twice-baked almond croissants, fruity rustic galettes, rosemary and sea salt twists, or their signature cruffins filled with pistachio paste. Innovative offerings change seasonally and often feature collaborations with other local brands. 

Burgermeester

$ | Jordaan

The "burger masters" first opened their doors near the Albert Cuyp market in 2007 serving fresh, homemade burgers made from sustainable ingredients. Aside from the traditional beef patty option, Burgermeester’s tasty range includes falafel and spinach burgers for plant-based eaters, along with monthly rotations including lamb, salmon, and more. There are a number of side dishes like fries, corn on the cob, and salad. Other locations include De Pijp and Centrum.
