Vamos a Ver brings the warmth and spontaneity of Spanish dining to the heart of De Pijp, where Amsterdam's most vivid neighbourhood meets soulful Iberian flavour. Steps from the Albert Cuyp Markt, this is the table you didn't know Amsterdam needed.
Vamos a Ver — 'let's wait and see' — captures the unhurried spirit of a Spanish evening transplanted into one of Amsterdam's most beloved and diverse neighbourhoods. We opened our doors on Govert Flinckstraat because De Pijp's energy, its market stalls, its mix of cultures and its appetite for life, felt closest to the Iberian soul we wanted to share. Every dish we serve is a conversation between Amsterdam's cosmopolitan table and the bold, honest cooking of Spain.

Hearty raciones that anchor a long De Pijp evening, from slow-cooked cocido to grilled pescado with seasonal vegetables. These are plates built for Amsterdam winters and long summer nights on the terrace alike.
A curated list of Rioja, Albariño and natural Spanish wines, poured generously in the easy spirit of a Barcelona tasca. We also serve house vermouth on ice — the perfect aperitivo before a night in De Pijp.
The dining room at Vamos a Ver wraps you in terracotta warmth and candlelight — a room that feels equally at home on a rainy Amsterdam Tuesday or a buzzing Friday after the Albert Cuyp closes. The crowd is quintessentially De Pijp: locals, artists, young Amsterdammers and curious visitors all sharing the same unhurried pleasure of a good meal.
"Easily one of the best Spanish restaurants Amsterdam has to offer — the croquetas alone are worth the trip to De Pijp. The atmosphere is warm and totally unpretentious, exactly what this neighbourhood does best."
"We've been coming to Vamos a Ver since they opened and it never disappoints — the vermouth and sharing plates are a ritual for us now. In a city full of good restaurants, this one in Amsterdam feels genuinely special."
"Visiting Amsterdam from Utrecht I asked a local for their favourite De Pijp spot and was sent straight here — brilliant advice. The wine list is excellent and the staff made us feel like regulars from the first minute."
