One of my favorite places to visit in the whole world is Volendam, Netherlands. I've had many fun…read morenights at De Dijk over the years, but this trip was a little different.
This time I was there with my daughter and her best friend (both 16) on their Spring Break trip, so my priorities looked a little less like nightlife and a little more like making sure everyone was fed, safe, and happy.
My daughter's friend has a severe allergy to fish, nuts, and kiwi, so when we travel with her, we have to be really intentional about where we eat. De Dijk was the first place we stopped for food, and they were fantastic. The food was delicious, the staff was incredibly kind and friendly, and they were very attentive and accommodating when it came to her allergies, which I really appreciated.
We were only in Volendam for two days, and we ended up eating here twice . . . partly because it was so good, and partly because they're one of the only places serving food on the Dijk after 9:00pm.
This is a must-stop for me anytime I'm in Volendam, and I'll definitely be back soon.
