What is the chef’s menu?

Our five-course chef’s menu is a selection of some of our favourite dishes, both from the current menu and beyond. It’s the best way to experience a variety of flavours and dishes from our kitchen.

We can adapt the chef’s menu to accommodate most common dietary restrictions. It can also be served entirely vegetarian or pescatarian.

Please let us know about any allergies or dietary requirements when making your reservation.

Can I visit without a reservation?

Yes. We keep a number of tables available for walk-ins during every service.

During busy periods, however, we cannot guarantee that a table will be available immediately. If you want to be certain of a table, we recommend making a reservation in advance.

Do you serve mezcal and tequila?

Yes. We have a carefully selected collection of agave spirits, including a wide variety of tequilas and mezcals.

If you’re new to mezcal, curious about different agave varieties or simply want to try something new, ask our team. We’ll happily help you find something you’ll enjoy.

Do you serve cocktails?

Yes. We shake, pour and stir our cocktails to order. You’ll find classics such as the Margarita and Paloma alongside our own favourites, including a smoky Mezcal Margarita and our Paloma Sour.

We also serve wine, Mexican and local beers, and a selection of non-alcoholic drinks, including our homemade agua de jamaica.

What kind of restaurant is Rosario?

Rosario Cocina Mexicana is a modern Mexican restaurant in Amsterdam’s Jordaan neighbourhood. Our cooking is inspired by the different regional cuisines of Mexico, using Mexican ingredients, flavours and techniques as our starting point.

Our small, changing menu is designed for sharing. Order à la carte or leave it up to us with our five-course chef’s menu. Taste a little of everything and enjoy Mexican food the way we love to eat it: together.

You’ll find dishes inspired by different parts of Mexico: suadero tacos from Mexico City, pibil from Yucatán and veal tongue served with a classic salsa Veracruzana.

We don’t try to make Mexican food European. Instead, we use local and seasonal ingredients where they complement Mexican traditions and flavours. Our sere de pescado, traditionally prepared with fish, is made with mussels from Zeeland, and Sikil Pak, a Mayan pumpkin seed dip, is paired with a salad of Chioggia beetroot.

Our love for Mexico goes beyond the kitchen. Behind the bar you’ll find a carefully selected collection of tequila and mezcal, ranging from approachable classics to distinctive small-batch agave spirits.

Enjoy them neat, ask our team to help you discover something new, or try one of our cocktails inspired by the flavours of Mexico.
