Amsterdam Private Dutch Food Discovery Tour

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
