ExpiredThe Dutch Experience: Food & Drink Tour

Want to Know What the Dutch Eat?

On this 3+hour tour we’ll stroll through Amsterdam hitting all my favorite locations to get traditional Dutch snacks and drinks, – mostly food but also a stop over for top-quality Dutch beer.

“What is Dutch Food?” The simple answer: they eat a bit of sweet, a bit of salty and, of course, anything deep fried served with beer. We are going to explore some of the more and less well-known Dutch foods, snacks and drinks.

Sweet – Stroopwafel. The ones you buy at the store are a great way to make your friends smile but nothing beats a freshly made one.

Salty – 800 hundred years ago we were a simple trading village trading hemp and Haring. Haring is still here served as it has been for centuries. It might not be your thing, but it doesn’t get more traditionally Dutch.

Beer – Many counties have that beer which is globally known but not often drunk at home. Not true of Heineken; the Dutch really love it. However, in the last 10 years small craft breweries have blown up in the Netherlands. We’ll stop by Amsterdam’s greatest bar to sample a few of the best on tap.

Come hungry; leave satisfied.

And when we are finished you’ll be able to complete the follow sentence:
“It’s as Dutch as _____ ___!”

Your local guide will meet you in front of the American Book Center on Spui 12.

Please note: on Friday’s there’s a book market and on Sunday’s an art market on the square so it can be very busy.
