The Foodmarket Amsterdam — Restaurant in Amsterdam

I’ve been coming to The Food Market Amsterdam for over a year now, and it’s easily one of my favorite places in the city. My wife and I visit regularly, and we’re always impressed with the variety, freshness, and quality of the food.

This is not your typical buffet. The concept is all you can eat, but with a refined and dynamic twist. You book a time slot (2, 2.5 or 3 hours), and within that time you can explore multiple food stations — each offering something unique. There’s a WOK station where you choose your raw ingredients and hand them over to the chef to prepare fresh with your choice of 7 different sauces. The teppanyaki grills — one for meat and one for fish — let you select cuts like lamb, chicken, or fresh seafood, and have them cooked right in front of you.

There’s also a barbecue station where you can ask for steaks like T-bone, lamb, or even a cheeseburger grilled on demand. A sushi conveyor belt runs through its own section, with sashimi, oysters, scallops, and other delicacies. You’ll also find a full soup and salad bar, Chinese, Korean, and Spanish dishes (including delicious paella), and much more.

The entire experience is well-organized and the atmosphere is lively yet comfortable. It’s a perfect place for food lovers who enjoy trying different cuisines in one sitting, without compromising on quality. Highly recommended for a fun, flavorful...

Just like other "eat all you can" restaurants that have existed in Amsterdam, but there are variety of seafoods, there is paella, the aubergine with fish was the best and scallops, crabs and shrimps. Friday (weekend) though is not the best day to go, it's full of people, very chaotic. Reservation was ok, via phone call was easy and quick but upon arriving, we reserved for 17 people (2 hours) but we were given a table for only 14 and we had to wait like 20 minutes to be fixed. They just added another table and made our seat very UNCOMFORTABLE as the additional table blocked the hallway for the other customers and Workers to pass through and...and...at exactly 2 hours we were told to leave the place without even considering the hassle "they" made. There's a lot to improve and hope the Resto owner/management will consider this since the idea is great, good food (less the saltiness maybe), cozy place, nice small space for kids, great venue (the escalator though wasn't functioning going to the place), workers must practice smiling and be more hospitable, look at the eye when talking, finish the conversation and don't...

Sorry for that one star because food was amazing! Yesterday is my second time visit in Foodmarket. Only service was so bad. Well, I asked ice cubes at the bar so the chinese woman behind the bar show me where the ice basket is. It was fine, I didn’t see the basket. Second time ice cubes in the basket was empty so I waited in the line at the bar behind the Dutch woman who was asking the beer and glass of ice cubes. The bar woman gave her the glass of ice cubes with smiles. When she saw me asking again for ice cubes, her face impression was totally changed and told me ‘ I showed you already where the ice cubes was’. I was so angry and told her ‘ the basket of ice is empty everywhere that’s why i came to asked you. Beside you just gave a glass of ice cubes to the Dutch lady with smile and why not me’ She answered that the lady is asking for her glass of wine. So what’s the difference? I don’t want to ruined my mom evening because this was a late mother’s day dinner for her. What a discrimination behaviors of that Chinese bar woman. Totally...
