La Oliva

For a taste of the Northern Spanish kitchen in Amsterdam, head to Jordaan-based La Oliva, where you’ll discover delicious pintxos artfully arranged on the bar. Pintxos started off as a convivial Basque bar bite but has developed into such a popular culinary concept that it has ousted tapas in much of Southern France and Northern Spain, and each generally topped toast or tartelette is a miniature masterpiece with the perfect bite. There are also some excellent a la carte dishes and Spanish wines on offer..
