Well, that's almost impossible i'm afraid. The last time i asked for Ricard in Holland, they forgot to put the water in, i only got a full glass of pure Ricard
However, for the cheese, you can find that, also in some small shops (in A'dam: "la fromagerie", Marnixstraat, has got quite a large choice, very good stuffs).Same for the Cote du Rhone but it coasts quite a lot here.

Mc Donald's in Holland is totally 100 % better than in Italy !!!

but the nicest and cheapest restaurant i've been in Holland was the one in Eindhoven, Bella Roma if i'm not wrong... it's in the middle of the town, i'm gonna look for the name of the street.. i just remember that's in a place in front of a Mc Donald's... really really good!!!

I'm sure it's the same one, but there's a very good Italian in Eindhoven, in a street in front of the train station near the cinema (there's quite a lot of restaurants in that street actually), they've got very good pizza's (and they are really hard to find in Holland!)

mmmh... it's not so close to the station, it's inside the town...
i hope i'm gonna come back soon there

Eat some hutsput!

Yesterday I went to 'De koperen Hoogte' near Zwolle. The food was excellent and the scenery was great.

Yesterday i went to Nomade in Amsterdam.
Nice location/concept but the food was crap, especially the couscous
I wont recomand it, it's quite expensive also (n)

couscous or taboulé?

Vegetarian couscous.
The semolina was crap, too big, no sauce, not the right ingredients etc... Nothing they should call "couscous".

kaatje aan de sluis, is like the most dutch restaurant you'll find, ever.

I would like to eat Spanish food, Dutch food and Italian food during my trip to Amsterdam.
Spanish food at least one time because I will miss it.
Italian food because I love spaghetti and pizza.
Dutch food because I would like to taste Dutch specialities.

Only I will eat junk food as a last resort.

no but there a lot of asian restaurants, often spicy then, and it's actually much better than the dutch food

In 2009 in the Netherlands I found a place to eat. What do they have there? It's an Italian restraunt selling rolls, pasta and coffee. Where is it? It's in Weena, Rotterdam, in a shopping mall near the Hilton. Why I like it - You get to see Dutch people relaxing and chatting there. It's also very roomy. I have a place to avoid too, that's MaCkers in The Hague Train station. What they have there? Normal Mackers stuff. Where? It's on the ground floor, The Hague Train Station. Why to avoid? The staff kind of look down at you here. I had a bad experience here but in The Netherlands I have found places to eat by just taking a walk around the block. You chill

Then you have to try hutspot, stampie, zuurkool or boerenkool.

LOL bit too expensive dont you think??
in france u pay only 9 - 12 euro voor a 3 course meal, WINE AND COFFEE INCLUDED!

Well.. not everywhere! more in the country side yes, but a main course in a city is usually around 17/25 euros. Which is basicly the same in Holland.
25 euros for a 3 courses menu is ok i think if you get that in a pretty good restaurant.Some Michelin restaurants participate too

I prefer sea food

Tempura is quite nice

Otaru is also OK, and Sushi voor half price is always great
Tokyo Cafe is pretty nice, but I don't really like the hurrying atmosphere and the way things go there.. quality is indeed pretty good though

Uitspraak van Matthijs op woensdag 30 september 2009 om 19:17:

true.it's better go there during the week when it's less busy. otaru is nicer and in and out not much more expensive unless you can really eat a lot!
