One of the most frequent questions I get from readers is about suggestions for good restaurants that are open on Sundays. And for good reason, as many Amsterdam restaurants are closed on Sundays and Mondays. For example, of the restaurants on my Best Amsterdam Restaurants list, none is open on Sunday. And only Restaurant de Kas is open on Mondays.
So here are some suggestions for those who are looking for a great Sunday dinner in Amsterdam:
Restaurant As
Restaurant As is located in a former church in the south of Amsterdam. The decor is modern minimalist with raw concrete walls. The cuisine organic Mediterranean available as a three, four or five course prix-fixe menu.

Is this list in any particular order? I am going to be in town this Sunday and would welcome advise on which one to pick. THANKS!
Hi Sean,
It’s in alphabetical order and I would consider them equally good but very different in style. I recommend all of them, so just pick whatever suits you most.

Went to Blauw the other night and REALLY enjoyed it! Thanks for the tip. Some other coworkers want to go for a rice table again on Sunday. Should I just take them back to Blauw or is there another place you’d recommend that might be open Sunday?
Hi Sean,
Tempo Doeloe might be an alternative: http://www.tempodoeloerestaurant.nl/
It’s very different – more traditional and also a bit more touristy. They are open on Sundays.
