Yes - our city has enough food for everyone.
And yet, 1 in 9 Amsterdammers lives with food insecurity,
while tons of edible food are thrown away every week.
Get a Plate exists in that gap.
A map of caring food spots 🧡
So many food initiatives across Amsterdam are doing things differently: Community kitchens cooking with rescued ingredients, Buurtmaaltijden, where neighbors share a table. Food markets with rescued groceries for free for the neighborhood. Food banks (voedselbanken) support people who need it most.
We bring them all onto one map.
Get a Plate helps you discover affordable food in Amsterdam, discover discounted meals with your Stadspas, join the fight against food wastage, and meet neighbors. Whether you're looking for cheap eats, a free dinner, a place to volunteer, or somewhere to feel less alone over a plate of soup. Get a Plate is your way in.
A love letter to the people
feeding our city 💌
A love letter to the volunteers, the cooks, the dreamers, the doers feeding our city.
We make their work visible and help them find new neighbors and partners.
We stand with initiatives fighting food insecurity, rescuing food, and building a more circular food system in Amsterdam - meal by meal.
Building the city we want to eat in
one plate at a time 🍽️
We don't have to wait for a kinder city.
We can taste it now, and amplify its flavour.
So pull up a chair, grab a plate, and join us.
There's space for you at the table.
Hi! Hoi!
If you've scrolled this far, hey - my name is Noa 👋
I care deeply about how we live in cities, how we consume,
and the power of our everyday choices
to create a more sustainable world.
The story of Get a Plate began in 2025, growing out of my master's thesis
that focused on cross-sectoral collaboration in urban food systems.
Through this research, I discovered so many inspiring projects and people,
who are deeply committed for making food accessible and reducing food waste.
Get a Plate was created to advance a city culture where we eat
(and where food is produced) with care, for people and the planet.
your ideas and feedback truly matter to me. 💌
