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.
