Hartog's Volkoren Bakkerij & Maalderij
We begin our journey at one of Amsterdam’s most cherished and historic bakeries: Hartog's Volkoren. Founded in 1896, this family-run bakery is famous for its traditional milling process, where whole grains are still freshly ground in their own mill. Here you’ll taste pure, authentically made Dutch baked goods — warm, fresh, and full of rich whole-grain flavour. It’s the perfect, genuine Dutch start to your day, surrounded by the aroma of bread crafted the same way for generations.
Winkel 43
Our next stop brings us to Winkel 43, home of what many call the best apple pie in Amsterdam. Freshly baked throughout the day, their iconic appeltaart is thick, buttery, perfectly spiced, and served with a generous layer of whipped cream. It’s a true Dutch classic — warm, comforting, and loved by both locals and travelers from all over the world. A sweet highlight of the tour and a flavour you won’t forget.
Banne Groente & Fruit
From here we continue to Amsterdam Noord, a creative and lively district just across the IJ River. Here you’ll get the chance to try one of the Netherlands’ most iconic — and sometimes surprising — flavours: Dutch licorice (drop). Available from sweet and soft to strong and salty, this tasting gives you a real taste of Dutch culture. For many visitors it becomes a new favourite — and for others a fun challenge. Either way, it’s a must-try local experience.
De West-Friese Poffertjeskraam
We continue our journey with a true Dutch classic — poffertjes — at the beloved West-Friese Poffertjeskraam. These small, fluffy pancakes are freshly baked right in front of you, lightly browned, soft inside and traditionally served with a generous dusting of powdered sugar and a touch of butter. Warm, sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, poffertjes are a nostalgic favourite for Dutch families and an absolute must-taste during your visit. A comforting bite that captures the heart of Dutch street food.
Vlaamse Frites De Mazzel
Next, we make our way to Vlaamse Frites De Mazzel, one of Amsterdam’s go-to spots for thick, golden Belgian-style fries. Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside — freshly cut, double-fried, and served hot in a paper cone. Choose from classic mayo, curry-ketchup, or the Dutch favourite: Joppie sauce. Simple, bold and incredibly addictive — this is comfort food done right, and a stop your taste buds will thank you for.
Kaasspeciaalzaak Henri Willig Edam
Next, we head to Henri Willig, a renowned Dutch cheese shop in Edam. Here you can taste a variety of traditional Dutch cheeses, from mild young Gouda to rich aged varieties, all crafted with passion and expertise. Learn about the centuries-old cheese-making traditions and enjoy sampling these iconic flavors that have made Dutch cheese famous worldwide. A true delight for any cheese lover!
Haven Zuid Paviljoen
Next, we continue to the charming fishing village of Volendam, where we visit Haven Zuid Paviljoen for a taste of authentic Dutch seafood. Try kibbeling — crispy, golden-battered pieces of cod served with a creamy garlic sauce — or the classic haring (raw herring) served the traditional Dutch way. This stop is a true taste of the Netherlands’ maritime heritage and a must-try for seafood lovers.
Albert Cuyp Markt
Next, we visit the famous Albert Cuyp Market, one of Amsterdam’s most vibrant street markets. Here, you’ll taste a freshly made stroopwafel, a Dutch classic: two thin, chewy waffles sandwiched with warm, sweet caramel syrup. Crispy on the outside, gooey inside, it’s a treat loved by locals and visitors alike. Enjoy this delicious snack while strolling through the lively market atmosphere.
Albert Cuyp Markt
At this stop, we take a moment to refresh ourselves with a special local drink, crafted from fresh, natural ingredients. Sweet, tangy, and full of flavor, it’s a unique Dutch treat that many visitors haven’t tried before — a little surprise to delight your taste buds and keep you energized for the rest of the tour.
Have a roll
Our final stop brings us to Have a Roll, where you’ll enjoy a freshly baked Dutch cinnamon roll. Soft, sweet, and perfectly spiced, it’s warm from the oven and served with a touch of icing — the perfect indulgent treat to end your day of tasting Dutch delights. A cozy, comforting finale that will leave a lasting impression of authentic Dutch flavours.
