CityBiteGuide editors · 3 September 2026 · how we choose
Sunny restaurants for lunch and drinks — from a terrace on the water to a rooftop.
On this list: The Seafood Bar, De Kas, Toet Amsterdam, CIMA Rooftop Bar, Blik Amsterdam, Café Restaurant De Baanderij, Club Birdies, Lokaal van de Stad, Vooges aan 't IJ, Het Broeker Huis.
The best terraces in Amsterdam according to CityBiteGuide: places where sitting outside is the point — a large terrace, rooftop or garden. The editors pick the top; below that we fill in with the highest-rated places whose terrace is itself something, not every venue with a few chairs outside. Every restaurant with a terrace is on /en/amsterdam/terrace; for ‘where does the sun last longest?’ see /en/amsterdam/sunniest-terraces.
No paid placement. Methodology.
