The Best Restaurant in Nieuwmarkt, Amsterdam

Background Illustration for Restaurants

The Nieuwmarkt square and surrounding area are home to an eclectic mix of upscale eateries at the beating heart of Nieuwmarkt, and student-friendly (read: reasonably priced) hangouts that surround it. The adjoining streets are dotted with the type of venue that lives up to the reputation of Amsterdam as a laid-back, chilled-out European capital. Perfect places to linger over a glass of wine or a pilsje (a little glass of beer), a snack, or a meal.

Los Pilones Cantina Mexico

$$

In 2001, three Mexican brothers put down roots in Amsterdam and introduced their authentic cuisine to the city. Today, they run two colorful restaurants, this quaint taquería just a short walk from Centraal Station and their original cantina near Leidseplein. Popular dishes include huevos rancheros (a brunch classic), enchiladas with mole (a spicy chocolate-chile sauce), and tacos al pastor (marinated pulled pork). Expect to find fresh guacamole and salsas, a selection of tequilas, and margaritas that pack a punch.
