Top choice in Amsterdam Noord
Specialising in Dutch and French cheese since 1953, Fromagerie Kef has a few shops around town, and here, at their canal-side tasting room/cafe, you can sample the goods. Book ahead for cheese tastings (€25 per person) or opt for a sandwich filled with Dutch aged sheep's cheese with fig compote or a cheese platter, paired with a craft beer from local brewery Walhalla.
Stock up on cheese to take home at the fromagerie next door.
