This was our first time in Amsterdam and we wanted to try some authentic Dutch food for our first dinner. We Yelped for the area and Hap Hmm came up as a place that locals frequent and has good reviews. On their business card, it says: "Specialist in Hollands eten!" which is just what we wanted.
We are so happy we went here as the food was delicious and the place was pretty busy with lots of friends chatting with the staff as regulars do. The staff was super friendly and always checking up on us.
I had the waitress-recommended Runderlap + gebakken aardappel. If you don't read Dutch (like me!) it was a Hap Hmm specialty family recipe from 1965 and was essentially stewed beef. I was super tender and served in a thick sauce that made me savor every bit.
My daughter had the Vegetarian schnitzel and my wife had the prize winning Wienerschnitzel. I tasted each and they all were super tasty. The meals came with sides that included spinach, Fava beans (I think) and a ratatouille.
Hap Humm really emphasizes quality home made foods with time tested family recipes and great service. I will definitely return here next time I'm in Amsterdam. read more
