Pull up a bench at La Oliva, a Northern Spanish tapas bar in central Amsterdam. Choose from the counter of pintxos, add a glass of regional wine and share plates in a warm, rustic room.
Full description
La Oliva is a modern, rustic restaurant in Amsterdam-Centrum focused on Northern Spanish cooking. The bar is lined with a varied selection of fresh pintxos, and the burrata gets particular mention from visitors.
Regional wines accompany the small plates, and the long wooden benches give the room a convivial feel. Opening hours run from lunchtime late into the evening, so it suits an early lunch as well as a relaxed night out.
Opinions on value are mixed, with some reviewers finding extras pricey, and gluten-free choices are limited.

Walked in on a Sunday Easter without reservation and was lucky to find a table. Bar was lined with fresh and a great variety of pintxos, another special call out was the burrata!
