Visiting new places also includes the experiences of trying traditional dishes. If you arrive in the Netherlands, here are five small delicacies not be missed:
1. Poffertjes
These are a kind of little fluffy pancakes that can be prepared in several ways. The original ones are done with powdered sugar. There are many other recipes, but many people prefer classic ones. Plenty of restaurants in the Netherlands offer you ‘poffertjes’. Still, the most wanted are those from the Carousel Pancake House, for the quality of the services and their experience in gastronomy. Pancakes lovers will hardly refrain from trying this recipe in their kitchen when returning home.

2. Koffie Verkeerd
Worldwide coffee drinkers know that the so-called Koffie Verkeerd defines style in the Netherlands. We’re talking about… coffee with milk. Those who prefer a robust coffee will appreciate less this drink. But it must be tried anyway, even to brag that you had a Dutch coffee. It is prepared from half of coffee and half of milk, making it more creamy. The favorite locations in Amsterdam to enjoy Koffie Verkeerd belong to the De Koffie Salon chain. They are similar to Starbucks, but less classy.
3. Pannenkoeken
Those who do not appreciate sweets like poffertjes, will like more pannenkoeken, much like the classical pancakes served in various parts of the world. They are less swollen and often run by hand, eaten without tableware. Tourists of all ages greatly appreciate the Pancakes restaurant! Amsterdam, where all kinds of pancakes are served, including small poffertjes.
4. Kroket
Kroket can be prepared in many ways, but basically, it is a vegetable roll from breadcrumbs and fried in oil. It looks like Mexican taquitos or Asian egg rolls. The crunchy rolls enjoy great popularity and are found in many places in the Netherlands, of which Eetsalon Van Dobben stands out.
5. Patat
One of the most prevalent foods in the world is fried potatoes. Patat are thick French fries, resembling the American ones, which were given steroids. In the Netherlands, they serve in several variants, including the one known as Oorlogist. In this case, we are talking about French fries with mayonnaise, onion, and peanut sauce. Although they are sold throughout the Netherlands, many particularly appreciate Vleminckx, considering it the best location where you can eat French fries.
