Mokum’s food is inspired by modern Amsterdam, celebrating long-standing Dutch traditions and the many people of the world who call the city home today. The large Surinamese, Indonesian, Antillean, Turkish and Moroccan communities in particular, contribute significantly to the city’s gastronomical landscape.
