Traditional, Typical & Famous Dutch Food

The Netherlands is not known for its cuisine, but you should try at least some of the traditional Dutch food items in the list below when you are visiting Amsterdam & The Netherlands.

Haring ‘Hollandse Nieuwe’

Dutch Food - 15 Delicious & Famous Dishes in Amsterdam (9)Haring or ‘Hollandse Nieuwe’ (Dutch new herring) is probably the most famous Dutch food. If you like fish you should at least try it once. The raw herring is served together with chopped raw onions and gherkins. Also the way of eating is a real Dutch tradition. In the Netherlands new herring is eaten by lifting up the herring by its tail into the air and then take a bite upwards. Of course you can also enjoy this Dutch delight by eating it in little pieces or on a sandwich called ‘broodje haring’.

Herring can only be called ‘Hollandse Nieuwe’ if the fish is caught between May and July. Also the preparation is quite special and must be done according to the Dutch tradition. The herring is cleaned, the head is removed and it is conserved in a special way (with salt). You can buy herring all around Amsterdam in shops and at street stands or book this Culinary Culture Tour in Amsterdam and try herring and other Famous Dutch Food.

Stroopwafel

Dutch Food - 15 Delicious & Famous Dishes in Amsterdam (10)Popular throughout the world, the ‘stroopwafel’ is undoubtedly the most famous and popular pastry from The Netherlands. A ‘stroopwafel’ is a unique kind of cookie. It is a waffle made from baked batter and sliced horizontally. The two thin layers of the waffle are filled with special sweet and sticky syrup (the ‘stroop’) in between. The stiff batter for the waffles is made from butter, flour, yeast, milk, brown sugar and eggs.

The ‘stroopwafel’ originates from Gouda, a place south of Amsterdam. It was first made during the late 18th or early 19th century by a baker using leftovers from the bakery, such as breadcrumbs and sweetened it with syrup.

You can buy ‘stroopwafels’ in every supermarket. But for the best ‘stroopwafels’ in Amsterdam you should definitely go to ‘Landskroon’ Bakery (Address: Singel 385) or to the Albert Cuyp Market.

Kroket

Dutch Food - 15 Delicious & Famous Dishes in Amsterdam (12)The Netherlands is not known for its fabulous cuisine. But regarding to snacks, nobody can beat the Dutch! The ‘kroket’ is a deep fried roll with meat ragout inside, covered in breadcrumbs. The common English translation of’ kroket’ is croquette. The original Dutch ‘kroket’ is made from beef or veal, but there are many different flavors like chicken satay, shrimps, goulash or even a vegetarian ‘kroket’. You can eat a ‘kroket’ as a snack, but most of the time they are served on sliced white bread or hamburger buns with mustard on the side. Be aware; the ‘kroket’ can be quite hot inside.

You can buy your ‘kroket’ almost everywhere in Amsterdam; regular snack bars, cafés, restaurants or ‘McDonald’s’ (McKroket). You can even get on the streets from one of the typical Dutch vending machines filled with hamburgers and snacks. The ‘Febo’ is such a walk-in snack bar located on different spots all over the city and famous for its ‘kroketten’. Three premium brands are ‘Van Dobben’, ‘Holtkamp’ and ‘Kwekkeboom’.

Patat

Dutch Food - 15 Delicious & Famous Dishes in Amsterdam (13)The Dutch version of French Fries has many different words: ‘Friet’, ‘Frites’, ‘Patat’ or ‘Vlaamse frieten’. They are thicker than the normal French Fries and invented in the northern part of Belgium. The Dutch really like them especially with a lot of toppings such as mayonnaise, tomato ketchup, curry or peanut sauce. A famous combination of toppings is mayonnaise, raw chopped onions and peanut sauce and is called a ‘patatje oorlog’ (‘fries at war’). It is tasty, but it does not look that way.

‘Patat’ is typically served in a paper cone or box. Here you can find the best fries in Amsterdam:

Vlaams Friteshuis Vlemminckx, Voetboogstraat 33 (near Spui and Kalverstraat) Manneken Pis, Damrak 41 (between Dam Square and central station)

Poffertjes

Dutch Food - 15 Delicious & Famous Dishes in Amsterdam (14)A traditional Dutch batter treat is ‘poffertjes’. They look like baby pancakes but much fluffier. They are made with yeast and buckwheat flour and typically served with a lump of butter and powdered sugar. Fresh ‘poffertjes’ are often made at an outdoor stand during winter. They are served on a small cardboard plate and come with a small fork. While butter and powdered sugar are the most common toppings; whipped cream, syrup and strawberries are also pretty common.

Bitterballen

Dutch Food - 15 Delicious & Famous Dishes in Amsterdam (15)‘Bitterballen’ are the Dutch favorite snack and can be ordered in almost every café and bar, because of its real tasty combination with beer. These savory meat-based balls are deeply fried and traditionally served with mustard. The ‘bitterbal’ has a crunchy breadcrumb coating with soft filling on the inside. Be careful when trying one, because the filling can be very hot. Inside the ‘bitterbal’ you will find a mixture of beef, beef broth, butter, flour for thickening and spices (resulting in a thick ragout). ‘Bitterballen’ are very alike ‘kroketten’ in their ingredients, preparation as well as flavor.

Drop

Dutch Food - 15 Delicious & Famous Dishes in Amsterdam (16)The Dutch love licorice or as we called it ‘drop’. With more than 2 kilograms per year per person the Dutch consumption of licorice is the highest in the world. You will come across it everywhere; the supermarket, the pharmacy, at the market and gas stations. ‘Drop’ comes in different flavors and sizes, but basically there are two major differences: salty licorice and sweet licorice.

Kaas

Dutch Food - 15 Delicious & Famous Dishes in Amsterdam (17)In our list of famous Dutch food we have to mention cheese. The Dutch have been making cheese since 800 B.C. Furthermore the Netherlands is the largest cheese exporter in the world. With an average of 21 kilograms per year per person, we can say the Dutch love their own cheese. The Dutch eat cheese for breakfast, on sandwiches for lunch or as a snack (cut in cubes) served with mustard at the end of the day. It tastes lovely with a glass of wine or beer.

The majority of Dutch cheeses are semi-hard or hard cheeses. ‘Gouda’ and ‘Edam’ are the most popular cheeses from the Netherlands. But there are many other types of Dutch cheese. When you visit Amsterdam you should try original Dutch cheeses during a DUTCH CHEESE & WINE CRUISE or go to the Henri Willig Tasting Room.

There are still five traditional cheese markets in the Netherlands: Alkmaar, Edam, Hoorn, Gouda and Woerden. In these cities one can see how merchants do business at a cheese market as they have done for more than 600 years. Best known markets are in Gouda, Edam and Alkmaar.

Hagelslag

Dutch Food - 15 Delicious & Famous Dishes in Amsterdam (18)‘Hagelslag’ is a (sandwich) filling of sprinkles, although you can sprinkle it on many other types of food as well (desserts mainly). The Dutch love them, young and old, on their sandwiches for breakfast or lunch. ‘Chocolade hagelslag’ (chocolat sprinkles) are the most popular ones. Other varieties are anise (licorice) seed ‘hagelslag’ or fruit flavored ‘hagelslag’.

Oliebollen

Dutch Food - 15 Delicious & Famous Dishes in Amsterdam (19)‘Oliebollen’ are traditional Dutch food. These treats are served at New Year’s Eve and quite similar in taste to the donut. People make them at home during winter (holidays), but you can also buy them at the mobile stands on the streets in this season. ‘Oliebollen’ are usually served with powdered sugar.

‘Oliebollen’ (literally oil balls) are deep friend balls of dough. The dough is made from eggs, yeast, some salt, flour, milk and baking powder. Two varieties are baked normally; natural ones or with raisins/ currents inside.

Erwtensoep / snert

Dutch Food - 15 Delicious & Famous Dishes in Amsterdam (20)Erwtensoep or snert is made of split peas, celery, leeks, carrots and pork. This pea soup is a very thick soup. The thick ‘erwtensoep’ is traditionally eaten during the winter with slices of ‘rookworst’ (smoked sausage) and rye bread with ‘katenspek’ (a type of Dutch bacon, first cooked and then smoked).

The Dutch consider that well-made ‘erwtensoep’ should be so thick that your spoon should stay vertically in it. That is why ‘erwtensoep’ is often eaten the next day when the flavors are better mixed and the soup got even thicker.

Stamppot

Dutch Food - 15 Delicious & Famous Dishes in Amsterdam (21)Stamppot is an old-style Dutch dish. It is made of mashed potatoes mixed with one or more vegetables like kale, carrots, endive or sauerkraut. ‘Stamppot’ is traditionally served during the winter and enjoyed best with ‘rookworst’. Several restaurants have it on their menu and there even is a small company in Amsterdam called “Stamppotje”, serving these specific dishes only. This small restaurant chain serves fresh made ‘stamppot’ during the winter and turns into an ice cream shop in summer.

Rookworst

Dutch Food - 15 Delicious & Famous Dishes in Amsterdam (22)‘Rookworst’ is a Dutch smoked sausage. It is most often eaten with ‘stamppot’ and mostly comes with ‘erwtensoep’. The taste is comparable to a hotdog, but ‘rookworst’ is bigger and the skin is a bit crispier. ‘Rookworst’ can be bought in every supermarket. Warehouse ‘HEMA’ is also known for its ‘rookworst’. Try one on a bun with a little bit of mustard.

Lekkerbekje / Kibbeling

Dutch Food - 15 Delicious & Famous Dishes in Amsterdam (23)This is the Dutch variaty of fish and chips, but without the chips. ‘Lekkerbekje’ and ‘Kibbeling’ refer to battered and deep-fried white fish, commonly codfish or whiting from the North Sea. The only difference between these two is that ‘kibbeling’ is cut into chunks, while ‘lekkerbekje’ is not. ‘Kibbeling’ is served with dipping sauces like a mayonnaise-based remoulade sauce (similar to tartar sauce) or garlic sauce. You can taste this delicious seafood at the same stands on the streets or market where ‘haring’ (herring) is sold.

Pannenkoeken

Dutch Food - 15 Delicious & Famous Dishes in Amsterdam (24)‘Pannenkoeken’ are common around the world, but the Dutch version of the pancake is larger and thinner than the American pancakes, but thicker than a French crêpe. The Dutch like to eat their pancakes throughout the day (preferably for dinner), unlike in the United States where pancakes are served for breakfast. Another difference is that a Dutch pancake has the concept of a pizza. The pancakes are topped with one or more different items like slices of bacon, cheese, apple or raisins. A plain pancake is often eaten with sugar syrup or powdered sugar. Dutch pancakes are made of milk, flour and eggs.

The ‘pannenkoek’ is a delight for children, but anyone can enjoy a ‘pannenkoek’. A lovely way of eating a pancake in Amsterdam is by taking the special ‘pannenkoekenboot’ (pancake boat). Check out there special All You Can Eat River Cruise.

      They sell them all over in The US now… They come in single packages at your local Walgreens or small convenience stores. They can usually be found near the candy. They’re fairly good for a cheap snack… and taste very authentically Dutch, just like the ones I tried over there. It not certain but they’re probably imported from Holland. It was one of the few food items that I can say was tasty…. most of it was not enjoy at all.

        Officially, the Dutch government is dropping the “Holland” in reference to their country. Instead, the Netherlands will be used. Why the distinction? Holland really pertains to three major Dutch cities: Amsterdam, Rotterdam and the Hague. The intent is to include the entire country, thus, The Netherlands! Aside from patronizing Dutch-Indo restaurants, Dutch restaurants offering a wide array authentic Dutch food is hard to come by and I live in a Dutch community! So, my dear mom makes all of these dishes and indo dishes, I was raised with having emigrated from the old country so long ago.

      Why? Is your restaurant Dutch or international? —- This is not a country with much to offer in the way of tasty or gourmet food dishes… it’s actually the opposite of a culinary dream! I wouldn’t risk putting most of their food dishes or specialties on your menu- you may lose customers!

    hello you all, I am a dutchman living in Scotland and loving this country for being a fresh air and mainly unspoiled land. Watching the u-tube video of my homeland food made me feel a bit home sick.
    to me Amsterdam is a zoo, but i appreciate the attractions.
    the food presented in the clip are very nice and you should try it – raw herring requires a special taste, I as a Dutch could not master – so do not be disappointed if you do not like it.

    bottom line – go to the Netherlands but go beyond Amsterdam and go North, south and East.

    I come from Arnhem, which was a bridge too far fo any 2nd world war interested person

    trust me the dutch will welcome you

      I’ve been there, to Arnhem… I did not care for most of the food, aside from the cheese, the pancakes, stroop waffles and the Dutch version of Chinese food! Lol
      However, I must say that the country itself is quite beautiful and almost magical because of its feeling of being slightly timeless. The weather was a bit wet and gloomy but had a mild temperature most days. I found the constant drizzling a little hard to get used to. However I did appreciate that there was almost never a single snow flake.The trees near that area are a strange sight. We don’t have trained trees that only grow on two opposite sides like arms in North America. My favorite thing about your homeland though was its appreciation for art and the feeling of being constantly immersed in beautiful unique creativity! What a wonderful way to be!
      Anyway, I just thought I’d mention a few experiences I had in your “neck of the woods” (I know how the Dutch love their own little witty sayings.) —— oooh one more mention about The Netherlands – I have never, at 5ft 4 inches, felt soooo short in my life! Lol

      Thank you for letting us know about the raw herring. I don’t think I would like it. But, most of the other dishes looked good.

      Also, thanks for you comments on visiting the country. It would be nice to go there some day! I have some dutch heritage so, I appreciated your thoughtful comments.

    Hi there

    I’m Olga and our church will be holding an “AROUND THE WORLD” function where my place to interest buyers in, has to be Nederland, and my scope is to buy and sell items/food and anything synonymous with the Netherlands.

    I would like to know if you have any other suggestions/ideas, advice please?

    I am quite intrigued by your food and snack items that I’ve read through because its snacks and meals that we enjoy and is so common in Cape Town where I hail from.

    Also interesting to note is that drops (liquorice) are favourites too.
    Thanks for the viewing.

    I`d love some feedback from you please. 😉
    Regards.
    Olga.
