De Herengracht— Friend of George
A Hidden Gem on the Herengracht
Welcome to Herengracht Restaurant & Bar, a unique spot in the heart of Amsterdam. With a spacious sun-soaked terrace overlooking the canal and a heated courtyard garden for cooler days, this is a place to relax, gather and celebrate — all year round.
Located on one of Amsterdam’s most beautiful canals, De Herengracht combines city elegance with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether it’s a relaxed lunch in the sun, bites at the bar, a stylish dinner or cocktails to close the evening, everything flows naturally here.
Inside, exposed brick walls, warm wooden tables and soft lighting create a modern yet cosy setting — a place that feels like a home away from home. Step outside and you’ll find two special spaces: the canal-side terrace for sunny afternoons and the heated courtyard garden, perfect for intimate dinners or drinks when the temperature drops.

Lunch, Dinner, Drinks — Repeat
The menu at De Herengracht is all about classics with a fresh twist — easy to love, hard to choose from. Think carpaccio with truffle mayo, burrata with heirloom tomatoes, or flammkuchen to share.
For mains, it’s comfort done right: salmon with salsa verde, fish & chips, a proper house steak with herb butter, the Herengracht burger with fries, or black truffle ravioli. Add a good glass of wine, maybe a spritz or cocktail, and finish with apple pie or brownie with vanilla ice cream — simple, satisfying, and exactly what you’re in the mood for.
