Where to Eat in Haarlem
Last Updated: January 16th 2025.
Haarlem is a perfect city for a shopping day with friends or for a day out. Plenty of shops, restaurants and museums to be found. So where to eat in Haarlem? I’ve been several times to Haarlem for a shopping day and loved it, these are our 4 favorite restaurants. Haarlem is also one of the best cities in the Netherlands to visit, so there’s more than just good food to be found here.
De Wereld van Jansje
It’s a lunchroom and giftshop in one. They have cute sustainable items in the shop part and delicious homemade food to eat. They employ people with a disability.
I’ve been here several times the last years, either for cake and tea or to have lunch. Loved each visit. The food is delicious and I love the ambiance of a lunchroom in a shop. So don’t skip De wereld van Jansje on your shopping trip.
Address:
Grote Houtstraat 45

Bistro TG
We love the burgers on the menu here. It’s a chain invented by Robert Kranenborg, a famous chef from the Netherlands. They serve a variety of burgers and sides. We had lunch here and loved the flavor of the burgers. Next to meat burgers, they’ve also got vegan burgers.
For a good burger go to Bistro TG.
Address:
Oude Groenmarkt 26-28
2011 HL Haarlem
Anne&Max Haarlem
An chain restaurant that’s in several cities in the Netherlands. I lovce this chain and visit them often in Utrecht, and I just had to try out the one in Haarlem. They have a perfect cozy ambiance and delicious speciality coffees and teas, lunch and cake. The store in Haarlem has indeed a cozy atmosphere, just like in Utrecht. The cake is delicious, they had Cranberry cheesecake and it was so good. I love their chai lattes and hot chocolates. Anne&Max also serves an excellent high tea.
Address:
Grote Markt 5

Queens Tea Room
This is such a fun and cosy place to sit down and have a drink. Preferably with something sweet. Queens is an English tearoom. They have numerous options in flavors for tea and serve breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea.
We had tea and cake on the side here. Queens tea room has delicious cake and a good ambiance.

When I was in Haarlem for a short day, I didn’t have too much time to find a place to eat. The best I could come up with (actually, my teens suggested this) was a chips ( french fries) place on the way to Grote Markt. I like your suggestion much better. The Mexican restaurant would have made everybody happy.

The Mexican restaurant was indeed really good, and although fries are good, if you want a little bit more the Mexican restaurant would have been perfect.

Never been to Haarlem but love these recommendations. That Cranberry cheesecake at Anne&Max looks delicious – would love to go!

Gosh every pick looks so great but I especially like Queens – can’t say no to an English tea room!

I studied in the Netherlands, but never made it to Haarlem. I miss the Stroopwaffles most. I know you can get them in the US now, but it’s just not the same!
