    View of the river Saarne.

    This little restaurant/bar was very close to our hotel so, since it was a rainy, windy day we decided to try it out. There were lots of choices of beer but we chose Pilsner. The menu was in Dutch so the waitress helped us choose. I had a winter salad and my friend had a burger. The salad was lots of lentils on a bed of baby greens topped with cheese, sausage and bits of pumpkin. Very good. The burger was juicy and huge, 1.5 inches thick with caramelized onions, bacon, etc. Best burger I can remember. Salad, burger and three beers came to about €40, so not cheap but very good.

    Horse steak.... I'm sorry horseys of my life!! I've never eaten horse and had to try!!!

    Delicious.. I mean I tried horse which I couldn't bring myself to eat all of, just a bite. It was really good, like a beef filet mignon. Also had some potatoes and salad soo good. Enjoyed some tap66 and that's some of the best bier here!!

    Worst food ever! My nephew and I just left this restaurant. First I ordered a glass of rose. They only had a few wines that is sold by the glass. I noticed I had a short pour and another young lady had a large pour. There was very little attention paid on our table, I am assuming because we are Americans. We ordered the steak for two. It was huge! It was also so bloody we couldn't eat it. The waitress gave the whole story about "that is the way we cook it"...blah blah blah. I do not eat bloodied meet. She said they would put on grill to cook it further. Not sure what they did, but it came back cold with grill marks. Did not offer to get us anything else or a discount. As soon as she started clearing the dishes I asked for the check. She came back with a dirty credit card machine. The worst was the cold attitude towards us. My advise is treat people with some kindness and good customer service regardless of color or ethnicity. We were nice to you I expected the same towards my nephew and myself. So disappointed for my nephew's experience in Haarlam. Out of all the restaurants in Haarlam we ate this was the 2nd place I would not recommend or go back to.

    Location: nice part of city- small walk off city center on first canal ring (actually next to canal). cozy little front area (old worn leather couches). Dining area against large windows looking out to street/canal. Perfect for people watching. Service: Very friendly staff... And knowledgable about wine and their food offering. Food: a spot on four star. Really good- full of flavor, well presented, good portions. Happy customer here!

    A perfect find on our way home from Keukenhof. The soups were wonderful and the Asparagus special was awesome only to be topped by two creative and delicious deserts.

    This was the beef special for two. Will feed 6!

    Good food at a reasonable price. We were accomodated in the outside terrace overlooking the canal as we wanted. Service is outstanding.

    This has become one of my favorite places in Haarlem as a classic Dutch "brown bar" cafe. It brings…read moreback memories from visiting Haarlem 20 years ago with family. It sits in full afternoon sun with an amazing view of the St. Bavo Church in the Grote Markt. It's about as centrum of Haarlem as it gets. The bar / restaurant is GROTE indeed (huge). It has two floors of tables and the bar is very sizable. The outdoor has a really nice terrace area, under cover and outside of the canopy. There is a beautiful green shrub that is majestic which acts as a nice divider. The service is quite good for such a large place. I can't call it "gezellig" but I'm sure it has it's moments depending on where you sit and who you are with. The food I've had there is quite good. Looks like a great place for huge parties or just a quick coffee on the terrace in the wonderful afternoon sunshine. Get the sun whenever you can here!

Menu is great. The quality of the food is good. It was gezellig inside with a great hall of this restaurant that's been here forever. Back in 1968 my parents had their wedding reception here in the event spaces upstairs. A classic Haarlem establishment and still going strong. Been on the terrace here before and the people watching is amazing. Outdoors you're surrounded by smokers. The only downside of any Dutch terrace.

It wasn't bad but it was a little cold, fortunately they had the heaters on. I have learned the hard way that Europeans take much longer to cook food than Americans. So I made sure to load up on the appetizers. I ordered the bread (3 euros), peking duck (3 euros, more like a spring roll with duck meat on the inside), salmon tartar (3 euros), and fries (3 euros). Of course, there is no such thing as "free refill" for your soda here in Europe so drink responsibly. I waited for about 40 minutes for my entree to come. I mean, based on European standard, it ain't bad. For entree, I tried the lamb and it was delicious. It came with string beans, mashed potatoes, and some other vegetables. The service was great and the servers were all friendly. Definitely a good meal. Expect to pay about 20 - 40 euros per person for dinner here. Good for both small and large groups. No wifi here but you could pick up the city wifi (weak connections). They take credit cards here. Menus available in both English and Dutch.
