Restaurant SMELT

Café de Doffer and De Kaaskamer van Amsterdam, both household names in Amsterdam, have been opposite neighbors for over a quarter of a century. But in the winter of 2021 the two businesses merged into one establishment, across the store, next to the café! 

In our authentic yet brand new restaurant you can enjoy the best cheese fondues and other delicacies from the Kaaskamer in the cozy ambiance of the Doffer. Welcome to Restaurant Smelt, a living room away from home to fulfill all your ultimate cheese cravings!

Our fondues are made from the best French, Dutch and of course Swiss cheeses straight from the Kaaskamer van Amsterdam. 

These cheeses are personally and carefully selected and served with artisan bread and fresh seasonal vegetables. In addition, we serve surprising seasonal appetizers that perfectly complement the fondue. Try for example our smoked butterfish with pickled fennel or our puffed potato with crême cru and caviar.

During lunch we serve our same fondue mixes on toast, get your cheese cravings on a delicious tosti. Try it with our homemade kimchi or ham!
