The steak/shrimp kabobs were the best I've ever had! Odd little place and hard to get to but you'll be glad you did.

De Soepkantine - Pumpkin soup

Total big fan of their soups, so much that I was like I am coming here too frequently. I realise I…read moreneed to step up my creative skills in the kitchen and try to learn how to make some of these awesome soups. Ideal place to visit on a cold and typical rainy day in the NL.

Best soup ever. No joke…read more This was featured as the ROTD, twice I think, and I simply had to check it out. After parking my bike outside the shop, I walked inside. It was raining hard and I was soaking wet. A couple of tables were occupied already. There was one guy working at the time and he was incredible friendly. He greeted me in Dutch and I only understood enough to say, "Inglés, por favor!" He was very nice and introduced each type of soup they had on that day. I decided to go with the sweet potato soup. It was so creamy with a hint of spiciness. He asked if I wanted anything else, and I opted for the bread with oxenwurst, based on his recommendation. It was so good. They even have free wifi! Just ask for the password. I found the wifi to be reliable and fast enough to check in via Yelp, send emails, etc. This place is actually spacious, considering its central location. There are a number of tables that are good for individual diners, small, and large groups. Also, they close at 7pm on some days and if you were to visit right before closing, you can ask for your soup to go. FYI, the sidewalk is somewhat narrow but still enough room to park your bike. They don't take American credit cards, except the Dutch ones. So bring some cash with you!

The Coach House Inn - Historic windmill nearby - great attraction like this pub!!

Wow, most definitely one of the better meals I have had in my life…read more I walked in here on a weekday evening for dinner and only one table was occupied. I was a bit concerned since I wasn't greeted by any server upon arrival. I went up to the cook (owner?) and asked if I could sit anywhere. I got a positive response. Once I sat down, I was immediately given a menu by the cook. I was informed that if I wanted to sit outside, I would receive a different menu. Holland Yelpers, please explain? The first few pages of the menu are in Dutch and items are priced between 16 euros and 20 euros for a regular entree. The last page of the menu is in English. My friend and I got the following items: Br kruidenboter (€3.75): bread and butter. Simply amazing. It came with garlic butter, pâté spread, and cream cheese. I couldn't stop eating. Me gusta mucho. Uiensoep (€5.75): french onion soup. Definitely one of the better french onion soup out there. More, por favor. Escargots kruidenboter (€7.50): snail meat in garlic butter. It was surprisingly delicious. Kip sate (€16.75): traditional Dutch-Indonesian food. This was definitely the highlight of my meal. It came with salad and relatively thick-cut fries. For the salad, there were jalapeño, fried beans, celery and...some other stuff mixed in there. It came with two skewers of meat dipped in peanut sauce. SO good. Somersby (€3.50): cider. Since alcohol is cheaper in Europe, I opted for the cider beer. DivFris (€2.35): Diet coke. SERVED IN A GLASS BOTTLE! Whoa! So cool. The cook/server was so friendly. It turned out he was the chef/owner/cashier. He was so nice and patient. He spoke some English, though not the most fluent, but was definitely able to communicate.

Stopped here for an early-ish dinner one evening, after leering into this cozy joint's windows for…read morethe past year. The ambience is ... junky, cozy, dutch, random, warm and old. It's a strange place. But, it's strange in a "grandma's house" sorta way - so not a dealbreaker. My husband and I both ordered the kip sate (chicken sate with peanut sauce, for those who aren't Dutch), and a Palm beer - but the two bottles of Palm that they had left were reserved for the regulars, apparently, so we got kip sate and some other beer. Both were good - which was a bit of a surprise. Not a surprise were the very old regulars, the dogs and cats running around, the cozy fireplace in the back, the very little English spoken here, the limited menu and the kitsch. I would go back, not regularly, but for an unusual winter night when I want to be entertained by some neighborhood crazy - this is the spot.
