Foodfestivals in Amstelveen

Looking to enjoy some drinks and bites outdoors? This summer, the agenda is packed with amazing festivals and events with a culinary twist. Even the pickiest eaters will find something to love as they stroll through food trucks and market stalls at these festivals.

Discodip Festival is a culinary event organized by Miljuschka, a well-known Dutch chef and TV personality. The festival combines delicious food, drinks, and entertainment with workshops and masterclasses led by top chefs. It offers a wide selection of dishes, from bao buns to cheesecake, as well as a variety of drinks, including 0.0 options. In addition to the culinary experiences, there are also music performances and dance opportunities. It takes place in Amsterdamse Bos and caters to both adults and families, with special family days.

A glass of wine here, a dance there, all outdoors. In the heart of Amsterdamse Bos, you can enjoy delicious treats late into the evening. Of course, you'll find a variety of wines (over 300!), as well as food trucks where you can choose from appetizers to three-course meals. Fresh burrata and oysters, as well as a good old-fashioned burger. Not sure which wine pairs best? Ask the various wine shops and winemakers present.

The Japan Festival shines a spotlight on Japanese culture. On stage, Japanese artists perform, and there are opportunities to explore Japanese products, with workshops throughout the day on Japanese art forms. But if you've opened this page, you're likely most curious about the Japanese dishes you can try. There will be several stalls serving sushi and ramen, but for those who want to try something new, you'll also find Okonomiyaki, Donburi, and famous Japanese street food like Takoyaki, Taiyaki, and Yaki-imo.

Good food deserves a beautiful view. For this new food festival, the banks of de Poel have been chosen as the setting. Sparkling water, live music, and tasty bites. It's perfect for food lovers looking to try something new. This is the first year for the festival, and top-tier restaurants will be joining, such as the Michelin-quality restaurant SAAM and the new restaurant Fumi serving sushi and dim sum.

Looking to enjoy a bite and a drink in the green? During High Wine days at Wijngaard Amsteltuin, you can relax among the vines while sipping local wine and enjoying small bites. It’s a peaceful spot, with plenty of space between the tables. The downside? The spots fill up quickly.

The Pure Markt is a traveling market that also appears a few times a year in Amsterdamse Bos. You can purchase fresh products, but there’s also plenty of cozy ambiance and delicious treats. Live music, tasty drinks, and stalls where fresh dishes are prepared. What more could you ask for on a Sunday afternoon?
