Snackbars in Amsterdam

A snack bar is a shop where you can eat or have a take away deep fried snack. These little snacks are considered as fast food and therefore relatively cheap. A very well known snack bar is FEBO, to be recognized by the yellow pavement. You can order a snack at the desk or go really Dutch and take it out of a so called snack wall.

Any regular snack bar offers the following deep fried snacks:

Patat met:
The Dutch people love to eat fries with a creamy sauce, named mayonnaise or fritessaus. This sauce is definitely worth a try, especially at big fast food chains where they also serve this sauce.

Patat satesaus:
Patat satesaus are fries with a brown sweet and warm peanut sauce on it. It might sound a little distasteful, but in reality it is a great combination.

Patat oorlog:
This is an extraordinary combination of fries with two sauces; mayonnaise and sate sauce. Patat oorlog is perfect for people who are not afraid to try new combinations.

Kroket:
A kroket (croquet) is a short cylinder shaped delicacy made of tasty ragout and small slices of beef, all wrapped in a crispy breadcrumbs crust.

Frikandel:
The frikandel is a long cylinder shaped delicacy made of a mixture of pork, beef, horse meat and chicken.

Bami or nasi schijf:
A spicy mix of fried noodles and vegetables or fried rice with vegetables wrapped in a crispy brown crust.

Kaassoufle:
Kaassoufle (cheese soufflé) is filled with hot creamy cheese wrapped in a crispy yellow crust. A must for cheese lovers!

Kipkorn:
Chicken minced meat in a cornflake light brown crust. Very tasty in combination with sate sauce.

Berehap:
This is a very typical Dutch snack made of a minced meat ball sliced into pieces. The pieces are put on a sate stick and between every slice there is an onion ring. After this reconstruction the whole snack is deep fried and eaten with hot sate sauce.
