We just came in for a cup of tea and coffee and glanced over the menu. As they served the very Dutch bitterballen, a traditional fried breaded ball that contains a meat ragout, we ordered those.

The tea was served hot in a nice big tea glass and the dirty chai was delicious too.

When all guests left, he let us stay almost 30 minutes longer so we could enjoy the desserts.

I shared a few slices with family and they also loved it. They were surprised it tasted so good and had no gluten or egg in it.

However I was delighted that I could indulge in some dessert here. Also make sure to try their Algerian soup, it is wonderful and fitting for the cold weather!

We missed an opportunity in Amsterdam due to our chosen restaurant being fully booked. We chose to eat here as our last dinner before flying home. The restaurant is beautiful and spacious inside. We were among the early parties, so the space was warming up for the night. Our guidebook recommended having a Dutch Rijtsttafel, and what better place to have it! This is a family-run establishment with a long history. Our menus came with Java-Bode, their house publication, detailing their 40-year history. The walls are adorned with vintage KLM Royal Dutch Airlines airplanes and advertisements. I love their nod to Dutch aviation. Our rijtsttafel was very enjoyable. It's hard to keep track of everything on the table, so I kept a menu for reference. What a great way to conclude our time in Holland!

We found this place online while visiting Haarlem for the day and decided to walk in right when…read morethey opened for dinner. We didn't realize how popular De Lachende Javaan is--they were completely fully booked! The owner noticed we were visiting from out of town and was incredibly accommodating. He explained the situation but managed to squeeze us in, provided we could eat relatively quickly before the next reservation arrived. We were so grateful because the meal ended up being fantastic. Since it was our first time trying Indonesian food, we went with the Rijsttafel Biasa (the smallest menu option). It was a variety of small plates served on portable burners to keep everything warm, accompanied by rice. It was the perfect introduction--there wasn't a single dish I didn't love. Even though the plates look small, we were completely full and satisfied by the end. We managed to finish just in time for the reserved party to take the table, so it worked out perfectly. Highly recommend booking a table in advance, but if you get the chance to eat here, definitely do it!

The location is very ideal, because it's right in the beginning of the center. A hop and skip away from the station, so you don't have to walk too far. So many wonderful different dishes to try. The salads, vegan burgers, lasagnas, Pumpkin Curry, Moroccan dish, and Special of the day are definitely worth ordering, and if you have a little space after, definitely go for the ice cream.

Located outside of central Haarlem, it has beautiful views of the canal/river where you can people watch if you are lucky enough. Sadly I was there when it was freezing cold, so not many were out on the water, but I can see this as a popular spot during the warmer part of the years. They do offer some great brunch and lunch options, but I was set on a warm latte drink at 8:00 in the morning! The employee who was working was wonderful and went through their entire menu with me as I was unsure of some of the options to choose from. Price wise, very cheap compared to nearby Amsterdam, space wise, very ample, but could see it getting busy due to its location. All and all, a solid five star in my opinion!

What can I tell you about this restaurant?…read more I highly recommend reservations because it is a smaller space.
