But then I probably would've been stopped at customs, and they would've taken all my delicious cheese.

The Kibbelinger here was delicious. The fish had no fishy scent to it. The flavor was plentiful but not too much. The crust was interesting - not as crispy as other type of fried fish. In a way, it was like tempura batter but softer. The crust is good, but not the main character - often, in other cuisine the crust because the focus. Instead, the fish remained the focus of this dish and it was excellent. The mayonnaise sauce was tasty, but a bit too sweet to my liking. In general, mayonnaise in Holland seems to be a bit sweeter. As for the store itself, it had a wonderful line-up of various seafood items. I would love to try other stuff they have displayed in their shelves.

If mister (racist right wing politician) Wilders wants to arrange for less Maroccan people In the Netherlands, then he has never been here.

The most kind and cheerfull guys are working here, working their butts off and fast as humanly possible :) The check-out line goes through the shop and is sometimes very very long (almost the whole shop) but don't you worry, you'll be next to pay in minutes. Also: do come here when your budget is low, the prices are really moderate. Fresh fruits and vegetables are increasingly biological, the meat still isn't but since Mart Smeets buys his meat here, I guess it's the best! Check the pictures. I just love love love Mabrouk!

I would pass Mabrouk multiple times, completely oblivious of what a a gem it is. I decided to wonder on in here out of curiousity, and loved everybit of it.

Never the less, Mabrouk has some great products worth checking out and the majority of the items are price reasonable. Surprisingly you will also find a few gluten-free products in here as well.

What a great market!…read more I usually go to the Albert Cuyp for normal shopping, as it is closer to my house, and bigger. But last Saturday, when I ended up there rather by coincidence, I remembered why I passed by there almost every week back when I used to live in Oud Zuid. Thus, I have decided to do my best to visit next week again. The market is small, but very 'gezellig'. It's quite cute actually. It has a lot of different things - flowers, burgers, wine, meats, vegetables, cheese. I also got a homemade spicy sun-dried tomato mayonnaise. It was a bit pricey at 6,95 euros, but it is amazing! Perfect also for summer dishes, I paired it with cod cheeks on little gem salad and onion-parsley-tomato salsa. Delicious! But indeed, the price is a little shocking, especially if 3 stalls further you can buy a bottle of rose for the same price (even a bit less, actually). Also, my friend and I got a burger and enjoyed it in the sun; I recommend :) There is not a lot of place to sit, but if you can snag a spot at the shared tables, it is really great. Anyways - loving it - and I will be back for sure.

I have to say the proprietors are a bit 'unusual' in that one might lose sight of a customer completely after a pigeon that just flew in 'ruined' the shop window, when this could be dealt with after having taken care of the customer. But I guess that only adds to the charm (if you're not in a hurry lol). This does not however diminish in any way the quality of their product. Their freshly roasted nuts are delicious, often still a bit warm when just after you bought them. They often have salted and NON salted versions of most nuts. They also have a nice selection of dried fruits and berries and if I remember correctly homemade peanut butter (I still have to try that one though). For a great selection of freshly roasted nuts, dried fruits and the like, this place will not disappoint you.

As is usual for me, I stand in line awaiting my turn to come up when 15 minutes or so later I realize it's a numbered system and I have to get a number. LOL. Of course the ticket number dispenser is right at the door as soon as you come in. Doh. The staff is friendly and helpful and can even decipher my kind of okay spoken Dutch. I suppose they're happy I'm at least trying. Actually it's so good that they respond in Dutch leaving me wide eyed and confused not knowing what it is they said. The prices are okay, not low not high. The meat fresh and ample. After much research I've determined the difference in cuts of meat here in Holland. The beef is leaner and has less marbling. It makes me wonder if marbled meat is available here in Holland. Regardless, it's a nice clean friendly establishment that I'll return to many times to buy my cuts of meat especially since now I know where they're located..
