Frequently Asked Questions

Is a food tour in Haarlem worth it?

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Haarlem and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What is the most famous food in Haarlem?

Haarlem is a food lover’s delight, offering a mix of traditional Dutch flavors and modern cuisine. Visitors and locals enjoy fresh seafood from the North Sea, including herring, mussels, and shrimp. The city is also known for hearty Dutch classics like stamppot and flavorful stews. Haarlem features artisan cheeses, locally grown produce, and charming bakeries serving traditional breads and sweets. Its cafés and restaurants often highlight seasonal ingredients, giving every meal a taste of the region’s rich culinary tradition.

Are tourists welcome in Haarlem?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Haarlem tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Haarlem.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the family-run trattorias in Trastevere, help keep the ancient fountains pristine, and learn to navigate the beautiful, organised chaos of daily life. This is the authentic Haarlem experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.

Do the tours accommodate vegetarian or gluten-free diets?
