De Kaaskamer

Fodor's Choice

True turophiles will follow their noses to this exceptional "cheese room," with hundreds of varieties of the world's best cheeses on offer. There are rare finds from France, Italy, Greece, and Switzerland, but we urge you to go Dutch and try Le Petit Doruvael, an aromatic, gooey, washed-rind cheese, or Olde Remeker, a mature, organic farmstead cheese with satisfyingly crunchy crystals.

Patisserie Holtkamp

Fodor's Choice

From Sachertorte to sabayon, and almost every Dutch cookie imaginable, Holtkamp has been a master of European pastry classics since 1969. However, this local family business is just as beloved for savory specialties like croquettes (oblong-shape fried meat snack), which can be sampled in quality eetcafes (cafés with food) all over town. On Saturday morning, the line's out the door.
