Walking Dinner Amsterdam – A Culinary City Experience

A Walking Dinner is a movable feast. Instead of spending the entire evening at one table in one restaurant, you enjoy a 3-course meal spread across three different venues. Between courses, you take a leisurely guided walk through the historic streets of Amsterdam. It combines sightseeing with a high-end dining experience.

It offers a much more dynamic social atmosphere. At a standard dinner, you only talk to the two people sitting next to you. With a Walking Dinner, you switch venues and seat neighbors for every course (Starter, Main, Dessert). It keeps the energy high and ensures everyone gets a chance to mingle.

Typically, the tour visits three different restaurants. You will have your starter at the first location, walk to the second for your main course, and finish at a third unique spot for dessert and coffee.

Yes, a Flagship Host or Guide accompanies your group. They ensure the timing is perfect, lead you along the most scenic routes between restaurants, and share interesting stories or historical facts about the neighborhood as you walk. You don’t have to worry about maps or reservations.

We keep the walking pace leisurely and relaxed. The restaurants are selected to be within a comfortable walking distance of each other (usually 10-15 minutes walking between courses). It is designed to be a pleasant stroll to digest the food, not a fitness hike.

Absolutely. We can cater to vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free diets, and allergies. Because we work with professional partner restaurants, they can prepare alternative dishes for guests with specific needs. Please provide us with the dietary list at least 48 hours in advance.

We offer Walking Dinners in Amsterdam’s most atmospheric districts, such as the Jordaan, the Old City Center, or the vibrant De Pijp. You can choose the neighborhood that best fits your group’s vibe—whether you want historic charm or trendy hotspots.

We offer flexible drink packages. You can choose a full beverage package (wine/beer/soda included at every venue) so you don’t have to worry about the bill, or we can arrange for drinks to be paid on consumption (on account) if you prefer.

This is the Netherlands, so we are prepared. The walks between restaurants are short, but we recommend checking the forecast. In case of light rain, umbrellas are usually sufficient. If the weather is terrible, we can often arrange for the guide to take a shorter route or use transport, though the “fresh air” element is part of the charm!

Walking Dinners are excellent for groups of 10 to 80+ people. For very large groups, we may split you into smaller sub-groups that rotate between restaurants in a different order, meeting up at the end for drinks. This ensures the service remains fast and personal.

We partner with quality local restaurants, not tourist traps. The menus are typically “Chef’s Choice” or a set menu featuring modern European or Dutch cuisine. We ensure the quality is consistent across all three venues.

Yes! A popular “Flagship Special” is to replace one of the walking legs with a canal cruise. For example: Starter at a restaurant -> Boat Cruise with drinks -> Main Course at a restaurant -> Dessert. It adds an extra layer of luxury to the evening.

We recommend “Smart Casual,” but most importantly: wear comfortable shoes. Since you will be walking over cobblestones and canal bridges, high heels can be tricky. Comfort is key to enjoying the walk.

Because we need to coordinate reservations with three different restaurants, this event requires advance planning. Please request a quote via the Flagship Events inquiry form. Let us know your group size and preferred date, and we will curate a culinary route for you.
