Why here

De Pijp Is Amsterdam's Best Neighbourhood for Lunch — Here's Why

De Pijp doesn't need an introduction for anyone who's spent time in Amsterdam. It's the city's most food-forward neighbourhood — dense with markets, independent kitchens, and people who take eating seriously. Albert Cuyp Market anchors the area, and the streets around Ferdinand Bolstraat are lined with cafes, bars and restaurants of every kind.

What's been missing is a proper lunch restaurant in De Pijp that does something different from the usual brunch spots. Miri Mary fills that gap with contemporary Indian sharing plates — bold, spiced, and built for a table of people who want to linger.

Looking for a lunch restaurant in De Pijp? Miri Mary is at Van der Helstplein 15H — a 2-minute walk from Albert Cuyp Market, 5 minutes from Sarphatipark, and open Friday to Sunday from 10:30.

What we serve

The Lunch Menu — Sharing Plates Worth the Trip

The format is sharing plates. Dishes arrive as they're ready, the table fills up, and the conversation does the rest. It's the way lunch should work — and it's a refreshing change from the standard De Pijp brunch menu.

Butter Chicken BennyMust Order

Toasted brioche, spiced chicken tikka, pickled onions, a poached egg, makhani sauce poured over the top. People come back specifically for this. Order it first.

Chole KulchaVV

Slow-cooked spiced chickpeas and soft, slightly charred kulcha bread. Our vegetarian centrepiece — deeply savoury and genuinely filling.

Goan Ros Omelette

A folded omelette with Goan coconut ros curry sauce. Smoky, coastal, warming — a completely different register from anything else on the table.

Lunch ThaaliFirst Visit

A curated spread of multiple dishes on one platter. First time at Miri Mary? This is how you start — taste the full range of the kitchen in a single sitting.

Saag KuclaVV GF

Creamy spiced greens with kucla bread. Earthy, rich, completely plant-based. One of the most satisfying things on the menu for anyone not eating meat.

Tip: The full lunch menu rotates seasonally. Check the website before you visit for current specials.

Getting here

Finding Miri Mary in De Pijp

Van der Helstplein is a quiet square just off the buzz of Albert Cuypstraat — close enough to the market to feel central, far enough to actually hold a conversation. If you're spending the morning at Albert Cuyp Market, we're the natural next stop: walk the stalls, then let someone else do the cooking.

Sarphatipark is five minutes on foot — ideal for a walk after lunch. Tram lines 3 and 12 run along Ferdinand Bolstraat and Marie Heinekenplein, putting De Pijp about 15 minutes from Amsterdam Centraal and 10 minutes from the Rijksmuseum and Museumplein.

De Pijp is dense with places to eat, but most lean cafe, brunch, or bar food. Miri Mary is the spot in the neighbourhood for something with more depth — contemporary Indian cooking, properly spiced, served as sharing plates.

The full picture

Drinks, Cocktails and the Bar

The bar runs through the full lunch service. Brunch cocktails, mocktails, wine and craft beer — all available alongside your sharing plates. The Bloody Miri Mary is the one to start with: our Indian-spiced take on the classic, made properly.

If lunch turns into an evening, dinner runs from 17:30 every night. The Chef's Heritage Table (€48) is a curated three-course regional Indian journey. Add cocktail pairing for €88. See the full drinks menu here.
