The Perfect One-day Itinerary in Amsterdam

"Music plays a major role at Cornerstore, a collab between a handful of vets from popular spots like Café Binnenvisser and De Klaproos. At the minimalist space in Amsterdam Noord (north Amsterdam), a cabinet behind the bar is full of vinyl, which lends superb music to meals of natural wines and pan Asian-inspired dishes bursting with fresh, fermented, umami-packed flavors. Vegetables are the lead singers in most items, while fish and meat form a background chorus. Order small plates to share, or enjoy the attractively priced 10-course chef’s menu. Don’t forget to put on your dancing shoes; midway through supper the music turns up, before the tables are cleared away altogether for guests to dance toward evening’s end." - Monique van Loon

"“Recently opened its doors, with a super nice concept, great food, and superb selection of wines. The interior is well done with light art by Nikki Hock. They don’t do reservations. My advice: come early.” (Hock also created the light installation for Wandler’s presentation, “Without Light There is No Color.”)"

We booked before going and went to that place on friend recommendation. That was really nice. Super yummy food and great ambiance with a DJ playing background sound. We chose the menu for 2 and there was plenty and it was delicious. I definitely recommend that place!

It was our last dinner before we headed back home from or holiday travel. It hit on every level…ambiance, friendly and engaging staff, incredible food (with fantastic suggestions/recommendations), the music was hand picked and spinning from vinyl on turntables behind the bar. We couldn't stop talking about it after the meal, largely because it was perfect. I will 100% return again in the future. I would encourage anyone to make a reservation… this place will eventually become impossible to get a reservation.

Really enjoyed the place, very friendly and accommodating staff. The food was excellent both times I went, refreshing menu with combinations I haven’t had before.

We always walked past this little gem and saw the nice lighting and sometimes a dj playing music, and then finally we had the time to try it out. It’s just been a few weeks since we were there and I’ve already made another reservation again. cornerstore is just amazing. The food, the vibe, the service. All of it was seriously top notch. The food is creative and unbelievably flavorful. We had some of the best oysters ever here, better than at some michelin star restaurants. Their take on ceviche was mindblowing. The fried cauliflower is pickled first and you could taste it, so good. All in all, amazing and super comforting flavors. I’ve never had creative dining experiences that made me feel so cozy and comfortable. And tbh, cs is basically fine-dining without the price tag. Its not cheap but you get an insane value for your money. I mean 50€ for 5 courses is just really fair for Amsterdam. thats what makes cs great. It’s unpretentious, and it’s super good. I wish I had tried it a little sooner. Try it out. I will go again for sure.

LOVE - Incredible food, every dish was so unique & had been perfected to a T. The restaurant its self is very aesthetically pleasing, beautiful layout and ambiance. The service was the cherry on top - Lucas was amazing and even wrote us a list of his favourite recommendations in Amsterdam. I’ll definitely visit again 💛

We book 2 seats at the bar and really enjoyed our dinner there. The food was really nice and tasty, the staff was very good and the atmosphere very pleasant. Great menu, definitely try the goat butter with brioche and some sake!

Lovely vibes and staff. Beautiful experience even though they were really busy and we were being difficult, we felt well taken care off. Very tasty food, beautiful flavours, and big portions. An amazing drink selection.

The flavors are well achieved but the experience is not very satisfying at all. It's OK but on the spicy side, and the family style concept is not that generous. The quantities are a bit confusing, some dishes are 1 for each while some are not and the portions are not very big so it's hard to share. For example we got 2 duck legs for 3 people but 7 pieces of eggplant and 2 rice?😅 I think it's a better experience as a couple than as a friend group. The wine list is very interesting and the servers are very nice.
