Dining & Drinks
Terminal restaurants, lounge buffets and quick bites for transit travellers.
Dutch Local Flavours
Schiphol offers a genuine taste of the Netherlands with stroopwafels, bitterballen, and herring available across multiple terminals. Look out for Dutch specialty counters near the central plaza in Lounge 2 and 3. These iconic snacks make for a perfect introduction to Dutch food culture before or after your flight.
Coffee & Café Culture
Reflecting the Netherlands' deep-rooted café culture, Schiphol boasts a wide range of coffee options from specialty Dutch roasters to international chains like Starbucks and Costa. Travellers can enjoy a proper Dutch koffie verkeerd — a milky coffee similar to a latte — at several spots throughout the terminal. Whether you need a quick espresso or a leisurely sit-down brew, there's a café to suit every schedule.
Quick Transit Eats
With Schiphol being one of Europe's busiest hub airports, a strong selection of grab-and-go options is available across all departure lounges for travellers with tight connections. Sandwiches, wraps, sushi boxes, and fresh salads can be found at outlets like Caulils and various food kiosks throughout the terminal. Most quick-service spots are airside, making them easily accessible after security.
Sit-Down Restaurant Dining
For travellers with more time to spare, Schiphol features several full-service restaurants offering everything from hearty Dutch stamppot to international cuisine spanning Asian, Mediterranean, and American menus. Concept restaurants such as Bread & Butter and Seafood Bar provide a relaxed dining experience with quality meals reflecting Amsterdam's cosmopolitan food scene. Reservations are not typically required, though arriving during peak morning and afternoon hours may mean a short wait.
