How to choose a specialty grocer or deli

Amsterdam's gourmet grocers tend to specialize by country or region rather than stock a bit of everything, covering Portuguese, Greek, Spanish, Slavic, and Italian kitchens among others. Start by deciding whether you want a specific cuisine or a specific product, such as olive oil, cured meats, or wine, since that narrows the listings above quickly.

Many combine a deli counter with a wine or spirits selection, so a shop built around cheese and charcuterie may also carry a matching bottle list. If you plan to eat what you buy the same day, look for a counter that slices and packs to order rather than pre-wrapped stock; our guide to delis and gourmet groceries in Amsterdam goes into more detail on what each type of shop tends to carry.

If you're after a sit-down meal rather than ingredients to cook yourself, Amsterdam restaurants is the better starting point. Come back here when you want to build a spread at home instead of ordering one.

Questions people ask

What's the difference between a delicatessen and a regular supermarket in Amsterdam?

A delicatessen focuses on imported and artisanal goods, often from one country or region, rather than the general staples a supermarket carries. Items like unpasteurized cheese, cured meats, and origin-specific pantry goods are more likely to turn up at a specialty shop, often sold from a counter rather than pre-packaged on a shelf.

What does "toko" mean, and is it the same thing as a deli?

Toko is the Dutch word for a small shop selling Southeast Asian or Surinamese groceries and ingredients, a category that overlaps with gourmet grocers but leans toward a different part of the world. If a listing's name includes "toko," expect Asian or Surinamese pantry staples rather than European charcuterie and cheese.

Are these shops useful for picnic supplies?

Yes: many specialty grocers sell ready-to-eat items like cured meats, cheese, dips, olives, and bread meant to be picked up and eaten elsewhere. That makes them a practical stop before a picnic rather than assembling a meal from scratch at home.

Do Amsterdam's delis also sell wine?

Many do, especially shops built around Italian, French, or Iberian products, where wine sits alongside the food it's meant to pair with. Others are dedicated wine merchants that also carry a small deli selection, so check a listing's description before assuming which comes first.

Should I order things like large cuts of meat or wine online instead of visiting a shop?

Amsterdam's shops are generally sized for city living, so a large cut of meat for slow-cooking or a full case of wine can be harder to find in person than in a bigger city. Carrying heavy or bulky purchases home by bike or on foot is also a real constraint here, which is part of why some residents order those specific items for delivery instead.

Is a specialty grocery run a good alternative to eating out with visiting guests?

A cheese and charcuterie board assembled at home can be simpler than booking a table, especially for guests staying at one of the city's Amsterdam hotels without much kitchen access of their own. Pick up items that travel well, like cured meats, hard cheese, and bread, rather than anything that needs refrigeration during a day of sightseeing.
