Braai BBQ Bar

Top choice in Amsterdam


Once a haringhuis (herring stand), this tiny place is now a street-food-style barbecue bar, with a great canal-side setting. Braai's speciality is marinated, barbecued ribs (half or full rack), biltong and roasted sausages, but there is a veggie burger, too. Tables scatter under the trees alongside the water. No alcohol is served.
