About French cuisine

French cuisine is renowned for its technique, sauces and refinement, with deep regional variety from bistro classics to fine dining. Bread, cheese, wine and patisserie are cornerstones of the table.

The Netherlands' restaurant scene reflects its history as a global trading nation and centre of immigration. Dutch cuisine itself — stamppot, bitterballen, haring and stroopwafel — shares menu space with an exceptional range of international kitchens, particularly Indonesian, Surinamese and Chinese, brought by centuries of trade. The country's cities are known for unpretentious eating: gezellig (cosy) brown cafes, canal-side terrace dining, vibrant street-food markets and a lively brunch culture.
