The Pantry serves authentic Dutch food in a cozy environment. Definitely get one of their…read moreprix-fixe menus. It includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert. If you are sharing a meal with someone, get items from a different prix-fixe menu and you can both try a variety of items. We enjoyed:
* Charcuterie plate: sausages taste minimally processed and delicious
* Beef and onion stew: taste slightly different than ones in America
* Cauliflower and cheese oven bake: vegetarian's comfort food
* Hutspot (mashed potatoes and carrots) and meatballs: non-vegetarian's comfort food
* Pea soup with smoked ham
For desserts, we had chocolate mousse and vlaflip (vanilla custard) and they were just okay. I'm not sure if desserts are the Dutch's strengths, except maybe the Dutch apple pie.
They even bottle their own house beer.
The restaurant is small. Try to make a reservation if you can. We didn't have a reservation, but went to the restaurant at around 5PM and were seated in about 15 minutes. At times, the line could get very long, but the staff is still welcoming and ensures that everyone gets served...eventually.
