About this restaurant
Traiteur Peperwortel, an Amsterdam West institution since 1995, offers a delightful blend of restaurant dining and extensive catering services from its charming corner spot at Overtoom 140, directly opposite the Vondelkerk and a stone's throw from Vondelpark. Founded by Elianne and Sasja, with Bart later joining, this family-owned business has earned a 4.5-star rating for its commitment to quality and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home.
Expect a vibrant culinary journey with a menu that spans European, Dutch, and Mediterranean influences, alongside touches of Asian, Arabic, and Mexican flavors, often incorporating traditional Dutch dishes like "stamppot" in winter. Dishes are known for their fresh ingredients, abundant herbs, and pronounced flavors. The daily offerings include a variety of options, from satisfying pita sandwiches (starting around €9.50) and classic quiches like Spinazie Geitenkaas or Lorraine (€8.50 per slice), to more substantial meals such as Libanese Tsjakh (€14.50) or Kip Granada (€16.00). Don't miss their tempting tapas and desserts, including the popular Pastel de Nata.
Beyond the restaurant, Traiteur Peperwortel is renowned for its catering, having successfully served diverse events and budgets for nearly three decades, from intimate dinners to large corporate gatherings and weddings. Catering buffets, such as Lunch Catering (€12.50-€20.00 per person) or the Mediterranean Hapjesbuffet (€20.00-€30.00 per person), are a testament to their versatility. Located centrally in Amsterdam, the restaurant is easily accessible by public transport or bicycle, making it a convenient stop for locals and visitors exploring the Vondelpark area. Whether you're dining in, grabbing a takeaway meal, or planning a catered event, Traiteur Peperwortel promises a flavorful and authentic experience.
