THT

Really beautiful modern building close to the ferry landing. If you love modern architecture, it’s worth a trip (in my opinion) just to see this building and the other cool modern buildings (the EYE Film Institute and another new tall building) nearby. THT is in the tolhuistuin (toll house garden) complex, hence the acronym THT. We went there after seeing a film at EYE. EYE has an attractive bar/​café as well, but this looked more like a restaurant. As other reviewers have mentioned, the «small plates» are not that small — the waitress suggested 3 per person, but 2 would have been adequate, even though we were quite hungry.
The food we tried was quite good. In the vegetarian section of the menu, they had four cold options and four hot options. We tried five of these, and the ones I liked the best were the «pressed legumes» (like a vegetable lasagna with no pasta noodles) and the empanadas. There are many meat and fish choices as well, of course.
CAUTION: THT does not accept cash, nor can they accept a credit card that does not have a chip. Fortunately, I had a U.S. debit card which has a chip, so that worked for payment. Failing that, the server said they would have accepted our cash, but they really aren’t set up for cash.
On Tuesdays from 8 – 11, the Swing BIJ group has a free swing dance lesson and swing dancing to a DJ in a large room adjacent to THT, which was great fun as well!

Amazing small plates, great views of the water, reasonable prices, and nice staff. Easy to get to by taking the free ferry from Centraal Station. Reservations recommended for inside and outside is open seating. The ravioli filled with pumpkin is amazing. Try the chicken satay as well.

Inexpensive, variety, just across from Centraal Station, no bookings, and generally good food.
Just don’t get the pudding.
A tapas-​style resto, adjusted to the Dutch taste. They take some classics and add in their own specialities. A few standouts include the polpo with beetroot, the prawn croque monsieur, salmon marinated in jenever, and the rendang beef, though almost everything was good.
The empanadas, sadly, were pretty dry and lacklustre. There was a good dollop of guacamole, but it was like empanadas had been described to the cooks.
They’d run out of bread, which I take as a good sign, but we missed out — it’s meant ot be good.
Under no circumstances get a pudding. The best is a good selection of ice creams, but you just get the pot you could get in a corner shop. The cheesecake and whatnot wasn’t worth the sugar that made my teeth hurt across the table from my mate. Even the sugar addict among us couldn’t finish it — the only assumption we had was that the Dutch reserve puddings for children.

THT is so easy to get to! Grab a ferry from behind Centraal Station (the west side) to Buiskloterwegveer, get off and it’s right on the left. Hop up the steps and in the doors to be greeted by a host or hostess.
I loved the menu they use. Pick hot or cold dishes and then choose from pork, fish, veg, etc. (my favorite was the BBQ pork). They also have like a large tapas combo option for two. The food looks fancy, but you don’t get that uppity vibe which I’m pretty sure everyone can appreciate. Aside from the food looking fancy, it’s very tasty! You’ll find some unusual items on the menu as well.
The space is very nice and open and the service was very nice. I can’t wait to go back and share the experience!

Sehr netter Blick auf die Hafen-​Skyline von Amsterdam mit grandiosem Speise-​Konzept. Hier werden alle Speisen mit allen am Tisch sitzenden Mit-​Gästen geteilt. Interessant, um sich schnell durch zahlreiche kulinarische Genüsse durchzuprobieren. Ein Abend war in meinem Fall 8 verschiedene Hauptspeisen und 2 Nachspeisen…

Directly of the ferry to Amsterdam Noord lies THT. With views over the water it’s a nice and modern feeling restaurant. The dishes are small and meant to be shared. The kitchen delivers high quality food in a fast pace.
We ordered 3 dishes per person but 2 might be enough. There is a nice selection of warm and cold options and evenly divided between vegetarian, fish and meat options.
