Braai Amsterdam

South-African BBQ

Oscar from Amsterdam

""Braai" in Amsterdam serves South-African BBQ-style food. And it is tasty! Be prepared to wait here, but it's worth it, believe me..."

South-African BBQ style food. And it is tasty. The two locations have a different kind of vibe to them. The one in De Rivierenbuurt is next to a canal where you can sit outside and is great in summer or for takeaway. The Westerpark location has (more) seating inside. I prefer the Westerpark location as I feel the food also tastes a little different. Could be they have a different grill. I am not sure.

Both locations serve amazing food. Whenever I go there with friends, I like to order the four-person plate. Even if we are just with three people. Or two.

On this plate you will find so many delicious things. Pork belly, sausages, different kinds of ribs... Homemade fries, salads, a whole chicken and so much more to enjoy. The staff is really friendly, and the atmosphere is very chilled out. It can get very crowded at times, so be prepared to wait for a while. I assure you: it is worth the wait! If you are not that hungry, I would advise the burger or the chicken. Those are my personal favorites.

About me Love life. Friends & family. Nature. Music. Food. Exploring cities and countries all over the world. Like to go running, walking, hiking, cycling. From The Netherlands. Raised in the south and now living in Amsterdam since 2016 for the second time. How will our lives look like when technology and life have fully integrated with each other? That's a question and a future I am very much looking forward to. It's also something I try to merge as much as I can in my personal and professional life. And Amsterdam is one of the greatest cities ...
