Mi-ami | 7.8

Discovering new culinary gems is always an exciting adventure, and my recent experience at Mi-ami Amsterdam was no exception. Whether you’re seeking a late lunch or an early “borrel” (Dutch for drinks with snacks), Mi-ami offers a delightful array of pintxos and charcuterie that will transport you to a vacation or weekend getaway. From its charming ambiance to its innovative concept, Mi-ami proves to be a must-visit destination for food and drink enthusiasts in the city.

Stepping into Mi-ami, you are immediately struck by its lively and inviting atmosphere. The interior is tastefully decorated, exuding a vacation-like ambiance that instantly puts you in a relaxed state of mind. The combination of vibrant colors, rustic elements, and cozy seating arrangements creates an atmosphere that is both modern and welcoming.

What sets Mi-ami apart from traditional lunch or borrel spots is its unique concept. Instead of settling for just one sandwich or a standard bittergarnituur (a typical Dutch snack platter), Mi-ami encourages you to indulge in a wide variety of delicious offerings. This concept allows you to enjoy a diverse selection of pintxos and charcuterie, ensuring there’s something to satisfy everyone’s taste buds.

At Mi-ami, you’ll find an enticing array of bite-sized culinary delights. The pintxos, inspired by the traditional Basque cuisine, each showcasing a unique combination of flavors. From meats to cheeses, and from vegetables to seafood, the variety of options is truly impressive. It defenitely tastes good, but I can imagine there must be restaurants like this one that serve a higher quality version of pintxos.


Mi-ami’s concept promotes a social and interactive dining experience. Instead of focusing on individual servings, the shared nature of pintxos and charcuterie encourages lively conversation and the joy of discovering new flavors together. This style of dining makes Mi-ami an ideal spot for friends, colleagues, or even couples looking for a special culinary adventure.

Having experienced Mi-ami firsthand, I recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience in Amsterdam. The combination of its charming ambiance, innovative concept, and the array of pintxos and charcuterie is truly a winning formula. Whether you’re looking for a casual lunch, a relaxing borrel, or simply an escape from the daily routine, Mi-ami is the place to be.
