Amsterdam Culinary Study Tours | European Foodservice Summit

Embark on a culinary exploration of Amsterdam on September 17, the day before the European Foodservice Summit starts.

Led by local industry insiders, each of our three tours promises four hours of inspiration paired with exclusive insights. At selected stops, management will provide behind-the-scenes glimpses into their operations and answer your questions.

Each tour features establishments chosen for their exceptional concepts, design, F&B offerings, and operational excellence. Culinary tastings at select locations enhance the experience.

The following tours can be booked in combination with a Summit ticket:

Restaurants

Amsterdam’s restaurant scene is as diverse as it is dynamic. Numerous innovative concepts reflect global culinary trends, with fusion cuisine leading the way. Chinese cuisine is also experiencing a renaissance. Pop-ups frequently provide unique dining experiences, and “guilty pleasure” snacks—boosted by social media—are gaining popularity.
