We stumbled on Fuego Bar and Grill by accident during a town parade and celebration kicking off the…read moreholiday season. The streets were packed with families and the boats in the harbor were all lit up. The restaurants were all filled to capacity but on our third try we were able to get seated at Fuego. Fuego is beautiful inside and all the tables face giant windows on the marina. You can also dine on the outside terrace. Even in the cold temperatures people were bundled up eating and drinking. From the service, drinks, and the food our experience was wonderful. The Long Islands were strong and packed a punch. We started with a bowl of creamy tomato and smoked paprika soup. It was excellent. Good flavor and consistency. From there we had the seafood trio. Wonderful presentation of cod, gamba (prawns), and salmon. The flavorful burre noisette sauce was excellent. The steak was expertly grilled with a nice medium rare center. We passed on dessert but decided on coffee before heading back into the cold. Our experience at Fuego was great, five stars!

My Dutch friends took me on a day trip to the rustic lakeside village of Volendam, famous for a…read moresmall, quirky portion of its populace who still adhere to wearing traditional Dutch clothing. We stopped for lunch at the Fuego Bar & Grill, a classy, upscale pub around the corner from the boardwalk, where vendors peddle classic Dutch kitsch such as wooden shoes, traditional costume photography, postcards and other tourist bait (although the almost-next-door Cheese Factory Volendam and attached museum is absolutely worth the price of admission; you will not walk away with out a few wedges!). While not exactly traditional Dutch cuisine (the menu is similar to an American seafood and steakhouse, with some regional European flair), the steaks here were juicy and cooked to order, and to perfection. Salad was crisp and not drowned in dressing, and fries were thick, steak-cut and golden brown. While you won't get any adventure points for branching out and trying something new and exotic, you will have a hard time finding a better restaurant in Volendam.

Locals always know best, and we saw a table emptying as we walked by and that's how we decided on this one. Really good fish, of course. Very polite and typically Dutch waitstaff that does not wish to hurry you, and was very patient with my limited language capability but of course, spoke fluently in my language. The view is incredible, the food is served hot and fresh, and we appreciate that we were not rushed to clear our table because we had a primo view. Very nice place, friendly staff.

I asked for a hotdog without bbq sauce hotdog came out with bbq sauce on it, tried to send it back because it wasn't what I ordered only for them to bring it back to the table and say that's how they are pre made and are reheated in a microwave. Because he was refusing to fix the meal with what I thought was a simple request, I then told him I will not be paying for it as it's not what I ordered, we were then told that payment for that meal will need to be made.

The bar sports a great selection of brews on tap and on bottle (including some American beers, which are notoriously hard to find in the Netherlands), making it a favorite for local beer lovers; on Saturday's you might have a hard time finding a spot to sit. But whether you're sitting or standing, the friendly staff is happy to serve you and will gladly advise you on which beer to taste next. And if you get the munchies, they're also more than willing to fry up some typical Dutch 'borrelhapjes'. All in all, Bonte Koe is a nice low-key place that's perfect for boozing and talking; we've had many a great conversation here.
