Overview

  • This self-guided food walk starts on Haarlem’s Grote Markt and winds through the old centre. You taste the city stop by stop: a Saturday market stroopwafel, herring at De Dolfijn on the Botermarkt, liquorice at Dropje van Haarlem, chocolate at Chocolaterie Pierre, archive beer in the Jopenkerk, and a classic jenever kopstoot at In den Uiver.

    You keep full control in the StepQuests app. GPS leads you to each pin, short stories and quizzes unlock on arrival, and you choose the pace. Skip a stop if you are full. Order something else if the counter looks better than our tip. We give a hand-picked list of venues, and we aim to send you only to places open during your visit window so you do not walk up to a closed door.

    This suits couples, friends, and solo travellers who want real Haarlem food culture without a live guide or fixed group. Best on Saturday when the Grote Markt stalls are running. Food and drinks are paid on the spot and are not included in the tour price.

Haarlem sold butter and cheese on the Botermarkt. KaasKampanje keeps that habit alive in the Vijfhoek.
