Friendly team working there. I get their smoked zalm salad. It is amazing. Great coffee and other dishes. Nice indoor seating too. Toilets are downstairs and the steps are steep!

Frenchie was a "hey let's go get coffee" type of adventure for us on our first day in Haarlem. What…read morean adorable place. It's small but has so much character inside. Our server was amazing and explained things as needed very patiently for us. The food was awesome, like seriously super good with way less sugar than we get back home. The eggs were fluffy and delicious laid on a piece of avocado toast. The grand breakfast is meant more for sharing, but I enjoyed the entire thing. It had Greek yogurt, a poached egg, fruit, salmon, a croissant, and some toast and jelly. It was a good meal and a great way to start the vacation. If you're in Haarlem and looking for something amazing to eat for breakfast, you won't go wrong with Frenchie.

We looked thru the online menu and were preparing to order ourselves when a lovely young woman stopped by and said we could order thru her. The chai tea was made perfectly - comes with a little chocolate cookie - and my Italian club sandwich (I added the ham) was just the perfect size for a lunch meal. Tasty too. We did use the toilets - they are downstairs - quite small steps so hold on - the area is well maintained and has a shared sink area. We'd go back here for sure

My mom and I came the day before King's Day and were greeted with their special of the day. I'm glad a fellow reviewer noted that the waitstaff is comprised of people with disabilities.

It sits in full afternoon sun with an amazing view of the St. Bavo Church in the Grote Markt. It's about as centrum of Haarlem as it gets. The bar / restaurant is GROTE indeed (huge). It has two floors of tables and the bar is very sizable. The outdoor has a really nice terrace area, under cover and outside of the canopy. There is a beautiful green shrub that is majestic which acts as a nice divider. The service is quite good for such a large place. I can't call it "gezellig" but I'm sure it has it's moments depending on where you sit and who you are with. The food I've had there is quite good. Looks like a great place for huge parties or just a quick coffee on the terrace in the wonderful afternoon sunshine. Get the sun whenever you can here!

The quality of the food is good. It was gezellig inside with a great hall of this restaurant that's been here forever. Back in 1968 my parents had their wedding reception here in the event spaces upstairs. A classic Haarlem establishment and still going strong. Been on the terrace here before and the people watching is amazing. Outdoors you're surrounded by smokers. The only downside of any Dutch terrace.

The staff was friendly and brought a high chair for outside. The bathroom was also another highlight, it was cool taking a journey on the old basement and passing the wine cellar. We came here on a whim and it was satisfying (the view alone would warrant a return if it was the only restaurant with the view, but it's not). If I came back to Haarlem, I would venture out and possibly find another restaurant.
