Tibet Restaurant

We discovered this relaxing refuge from the hectic pace of the Red Light District, after showing a friend around the area. We were pretty burned out as we’d been walking all over town for many hours, and our last hour in the Red Light Light district was spent dodging tourists and listening to pounding house music in coffeeshops.

The Tibet restaurant welcomed us and restored us with it’s wonderfully exotic ambiance while the soothing Tibetan music put us in the proper calm mood to enjoy the tasty delights of this popular dining spot. The Tibetan artworks on the walls including eyecatching tankas and colorful woven tapestries that transported our city-tortured souls to distant Himalayan villages were the inward journey is as awe-inspiring as the lofty peaks.

We ordered from a menu filled with Chinese delights, including the spicy flavors of Shechuan. I ordered a delicious Kung Pao Chicken, and my friend had a delightful shrimp and fried noodle dish (bird’s nest style, photo above). The food was perfect, the service good, and we left feeling refreshed and centered. So if you’re in the mood for a transcendental treat, the Tibet Restaurant is just the ticket.

  1. This restaurant is one of my favorites in Amsterdam. There’s lots of choice on the menu,from beef to duck to a large variety of vegetarian food. The style of the kitchen is Shezuan; try a sissling dish, they’re excellent!Being located in the vivid red light district, this is a peacefull haven for foodlovers.

  2. I really enjoy this place – especially the great food and very good service. I’ve only had the Tibetan dishes and found them to be very flavorful at a great price. It’s a laid-back atmosphere in the middle of a ‘coffee house’ area and not really in the true Red Light District. (Close to the district, but between the Red Light District and the central train station.) Highly recommended if you are into unique, good quality food served in an unpretentious atmosphere!

  3. Since first trying this reastaurant (several years ago while my husband was working in Amsterdam) we must have been back a hundred times – sometimes we just go to Amsterdam especially so we can eat at the Tibet – every night! Certainly worth a try for everyone.

  4. been to Amsterdam quite a few times, love the place, found this place last time I was there and have been looking forward to going back there ever since – booked my flight today and this is the place to meet the friends and eat.
