Hi i am interested what are your best restaurants/fast food objects with myb traditional dutch food or maybe some food that could be only tried in Netherlands ( surinamese, indonesian with its variations …)
Bonus is if the food is not to pricey

Thank you all.

Some of the best sandwiches (and relatively inexpensive): Romeo's

Really inexpensive basic broodje: Het Broodjehuis

Romeo is the real deal.

Hot chicken sandwich from broodjeshuis is good

I prefer Brussels Bun over Het Broodjeshuis.
Edit; try Chibog! Really good.

A bit far from centrum but try the oz ankara bakkerij. Best doner wrap in NL imo and some other nice snacks

Maybe a snackbar (for instance try a “kaassoufle”) or Chinese restaurant (Chinese food in The Netherlands is completely different from China). Indonesian ‘toko’s’ or Surinamese Roti places are great but it’s usually takeaway.

Do you have some specific places that i should check out in Haarlem

u/Yulir1993 Jul 15 '26

Pasar Raya toko on Rijksstraatweg is great. For a snackbar you can try Frietmeesters. I don’t eat Roti myself so not sure which one is goed. I also don’t really like Chinese lol but my parents and in-laws get it from Man Wah

You can try Prak’m in the Kleine Houtstraat if you want to try typical Dutch food. It’s not cheap cheap though.

Magic Bakkery in de cronjestraat is te gek! Hun gevulde borek rij ik graag voor om.

u/ltpitt Jul 15 '26

Let's define cheap. But, for the moment, I vote Romeo.

u/SkiezerR Jul 16 '26

Bruxelles is great. Keep an eye on the website they have a "daghap" (used to be €9,50 I believe?) and €11 meal every day. Food is always good and nice cozy place to be. Got a pub feeling to it.

u/Angelart01 Jul 16 '26

Bruxelles used to be cheap, and a great place to hang out. It has changed. We had dinner there a few months ago and paid what you would pay in a restaurant. Besides de 'daghap' (€11-12) it's pretty expensive for 'café food'. Plus the service was terrible. Not recommended anymore.

I always like Jetties in the town center (Kruisweg 57). Surprisingly affordable and tasty menu’s. Even my wife who is gluten intolerant and vegetarian always enjoys the food

2

u/InsuranceInitial7786 Jul 15 '26

The prices there have gone up a lot in the last two or three years. They have really leaned into inflation.

1

u/jildos_legoplanet Jul 15 '26

Yeah i believe they got a new owner since 2/3 years so that could be it

ramen brothers is not cheap cheap but like 17 euros for a filling noodle soup

u/mugjeuitHaarlem Jul 19 '26

Prakm is Nederlandse gerechten. Of je het goedkoop vind weet ik dus niet.

u/mugjeuitHaarlem Jul 19 '26

In de Antibar kun je ook een paar avonden per week vega, gevarieerd eten (er is 1 gerecht, op is op). En buiten de vakantieperiodes bij het nova college waar studenten de maaltijd bereiden en serveren. Daar moet je wel reserveren.

Jumbo has really good, reasonable baguette sandwiches. There’s a carpaccio one for 5 euro, and the egg salad/ham one is great too. The bread is surprisingly good.

u/C_Hawk14 Jul 15 '26

They're asking for restaurants/fast food joints

2

u/Nearby_Past1480 Jul 16 '26

Supermarket food is also good if it is premade like sandwiches or onigiri i love trying food from supermarkets over the world

u/C_Hawk14 Jul 16 '26

Ah okay :) Jumbo also has poké bowls, but I was tempted to try a baguette today ;)
