De Blonde Hollander (The Blond Dutchman): The best local Dutch cuisine in Amsterdam De Blauwe Hollander Review

This restaurant in the neighborhood of the cluster of restaurants near the Leidse Plein, is by far my favourite restaurant where they serve traditional Dutch "pot". A great variety can be ordered of many real Dutch recepies that appeared (and disappeared) through the ages. The food is prepared with care and served with a smile (and if necessary appropriate explanation).

Favorite Dish: Hutspot & klapstuk = stew of potatoe, carrots and onions, topped with juicy gravy and long baked soft (beef)meat.

Address: Leidsekruisstraat 28

Comparison: about average

Directions: When arriving at the Leidse Plein from the centre, you go left into the street with many restaurants (however, all foreign cuisine). Then turn left again into the second street. Only a few meters away is "De Blonde Hollander" on your left hand side.

Chinese Restaurants: A copy of Hong Kong floating Jumbo Sea Palace - (Floating) Chinese restaurant Review

Now, Chines food is very popular in The Netherlands and the Chinese are the oldest immigrated non-European minority group within the country (yes, even older then the Indonesians that have also an enormous amount of restaurants here). In Amsterdam however a special place is reserved for the floating restaurant that is a copy of the Jumbo, located in Hong Kong harbour.

Comparison: more expensive than average

Multicultural society = multicultural food

Name a nationality and Amsterdam has a restaurant that serves the food from the country. Amsterdam has it all, from Nepalese to Chinees and from Russian Borsh to Flandres 'Patat'.
Maybe this is the place where you want to try to eat 'haring' in the traditional Dutch way. between the canalboatstop at the Rijksmuseum and the museum itself is a little fishstand that serves great raw hering. The owner will be pleased to show you how you should eat it properly.

Favorite Dish: Raw hering, take it at the tale, hang it above your head and take peace by peace bites from it. eliscious with cut onions.
