Places mentioned in the video:
- Albert Cuyp Market
- De Pijp
Foods we tried in the video (plus my honest experience):
- Fruit juices (the taste was ok but it was quite bitter)
- Xiao Long Bao (The best service in the market, the guy even went the extra mile and gave us some good luck bracelets!)
- Mix of deep fried seafood (We tried shrimp, kibbeling, mussles and calamari. I recommend it for people who like greasy deep fried food. The kibbeling was my favorite!)
- Baklava (By far the best thing we ate in the Albert Cuyp. We tried the walnuts and pistachio and both were delicious!)
- Cannoli (champagne and ricotta - overall it was ok. It doesn't compare to the ones in Italy of course but for those who like sweet treats is worth a try)
- Dutch old cheese (I love Dutch cheese. The flavor of the old cheese we tried was quite strong and for me it was perfect!)
- Arabic Cappuccino, Turkish coffee (the aroma and the flavors were sooo good! I recommend you trying it!)
- Dutch Frituur (We tried the Kroket. i've had better ones but it was good nonetheless)
- Poffertjes (Not my number one choice but it was fun to try)
In this video video we will visit the famous Albert Cuyp market (Albert Cuypmarkt), the market that attracts lots of tourists and locals alike. This is one of the Top 10 things to do in Amsterdam and this is where many Food tour will take you!
As someone who is living in Amsterdam nowadays I rarely visit the Albert Cuyp Market because I usually go to more local neighborhood markets. If I have to rate the quality of the food at the Albert Cuyp overall I would say it was ok, nothing great but nothing bad either. As a local I prefer the smaller farmer's markets for better quality food but overall it was fun trying all the different snacks from the biggest street market in Holland. We tried international food from China, the Mediterranean and also some traditional Dutch food. I hope my video can inspire your travel to The Netherlands. I have many other videos where I share a bit of what is it like to live in Amsterdam in 2021 and I plan on posting more travel content, not only in Holland but around the world, so subscribe to my channel for more videos like this.

[@itspattiiii3880]

LMAO....as a Dutch I really had to laugh at this old lady muttering "Godverdomme" 🤣🤣🤣🤣....Aye....I haven't been in the Netherlands since 2018 but dang....I MISS THOSE STUFFS...ALL OF IT!

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

hahaha, and she was actually saying way more but I just had to edit it out because it was too much...😅😂

[@linnh940]

Typical dutch hahahahha

[@missadventure3397]

Haha, the guy behind you at 7:05 is too funny! Watching from the states and wishing I were in Amsterdam. Thanks for the great video!

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

And the funny thing is that I didn't notice him at the moment and only saw it while I was editing the video..😂

[@hayatiiLove]

That’s the life in Amsterdam baby🤣🤣

@@FRANCISCARUSOworld watching your vlog for the first time, seeing the guy at the back and realised I worked with the guy 8 years ago in Breda 😂what's the chance

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

[@ThePlayahataa]

The filling in the Kroket is not mash potatoes, it's actually a Roux, more specifically a Salpicon, it's a Roux that's more dense.

[@s.b.907]

The filling of a croquet is not mashed potato, it is a ragout. Originally made with beef, but also available with shrimp or other flavors.

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

Oh really? The lady who served me told me it was a mix of mashed potatoes stew with the filling 😅

[@s.b.907]

@@FRANCISCARUSOworld she probably did not know how to explain the filling in English. But in this kind of croquettes there is no potato. My father used to make them once a year. Even more delicious then the ones from the snackbar. It is a ragout made from the stock that is made from the beef that goes into the croquettes also.

[@kevinmeeusen1989]

@@FRANCISCARUSOworld the original kroket is made out of cow meat not mash potato's its going bad these days and all krokets gets worse every year losing it fame because of the cheapness lately buy in cheap sell high wich is stupid

[@boxie001]

thank you for not getting the poffertjes with Nutella or other crap I see in a lot of videos like this. I was worried about that from the start of this video.

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

hahah, I totally get what you mean! I actually don't like the taste of Nutella at all... 😅

[@boxie001]

@@FRANCISCARUSOworld I love Nutella myself. (it must be the child labour that makes it tasty) but poffertjes just need some butter and sugar to make it perfect.

[@NitinGupta-qm6hj]

Hey, guys is albert cyup is tourist market or actually locals also shop there (means that product are there cheap or price are inflated for toursist).

[@boxie001]

@@NitinGupta-qm6hj I have not been there for over 20 years but locals shop there. maybe in the summer it is a bit more touristy these days but the market is there all year that should be a good indication it is not focused on tourists.

[@HoustonKeith72]

Will definitely be trying the bitterballen and pancakes.

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

Bitterballen is probably my favorite Dutch snack

[@betterjervs7195]

I've been binge watching your videos today

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

😃

[@miltonrodriguesjunior8816]

I love calamaris !!! Also I’m VERY WILLING to try the Arabic coffee!!! Love the way they make it!

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

That coffee was a surprise to me. So much aroma.. 😋 You should definitely try it!

[@Paul_C]

'It is really good' he said with wonder in his voice. I like that Poffertjes are made with buckwheat flour. Not the regular flour.

[@raffiellad.3319]

LMAO it’s the BTS fan chant at 9:53

[@expatfamilylive9041]

Wow, so much delicious food here! We also love all types of fries, sea food options and vegan street food 😋😀😄😊 Hugs from Almere

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

Food is love! 😃

[@veronicagravendijk4685]

Born there and tried it all

[@Hugotw]

Yum!!

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

😋

[@martindejong3974]

This is not the largest market of the Netherlands, the largest market is the market in Den-Haag. But it isn't held in a regular street, (it isn't a "street market", its held on a specifically created square, designed specifically for a market. Its also not a market with where you can buy all kinds of delicacies, its a "normal" market. You can buy all kinds of things, electronics, clothing, shoe's but also foodstuff, its fresh fish stalls are the best and largest fish market in the Netherlands, with all kinds of fish, shellfish, crabs eels and many other fish. All the restaurants in den-Haag and surrounding towns probably buy their fish here. It a market in a large multicultural part of town, and you can tell by what is being sold here. I suggest you should visit.

[@kimberlywarrink7131]

Nice video ♡

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

Thank you! 🙏

[@claudiamorenocontreras1233]

Give me all that cheese!! 🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

So gooood!! 😋

Hey, guys is albert cyup is tourist market or actually locals also shop there (means that product are there cheap or price are inflated for toursist).

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

The Albert Cuyp is more touristy. If you want better quality food for a better price go to Westerstraat market :-)

[@DrQuatsch]

There are many different kroketten, but one thing that doesn't change is that you'll definitely burn your tongue eating it. The inside is piping hot.

[@leanne4983]

OMG yessssss thats trueeeee (im dutch too)

[@nolitaaa71]

There's ragout in the inside of a kroket, no mashed potatoes so far as I know as a Dutch woman. Weet iemand anders het precies?

[@movo721]

You are correct, no mashed potatoes, unless it’s a ‘aardappelkroket’ :)

[@Bookerdevin101]

Do the food stalls accept credit card or just cash? Thank you

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

Just cash or debit card

[@lunar_dreams]

Why is someone doing BTS (kpop group) their fanchant in the background of 9:51?1 hahahahahah

[@divinhaquem]

Hi Francis! Do you live in the Netherlands, or elsewhere?

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

Yes, I currently live in The Netherlands but I love to travel to other places 😉

[@lionn2429]

Hey man! please don't take little bites just eat it all. Sorry i got frustrated 🤣👍🏻

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

hahaha, it was too hot but yeah next time I'll do that! 😅

[@ilsefaber683]

I thought the same!

[@dezzyperr5982]

nice video

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

Thank you!

[@bertoverweel6588]

Hay , you forgot the Dutch harring , great seafood .

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

Yes, I didn't have the Herring on purpose because I plan to show it in a video that is coming up soon! :-)

[@kiek1984]

Ik was hier gister nog bru

[@KajiRider1997]

7:43 I am Dutch Sicilian and those cannoli look bad tbh like a bit too dark lol

[@canopusinthenorth]

Pro tip: It’s better to eat entire xiao long bao at once instead of biting into it

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

True!! It's been so long since I've had it and I ended up forgetting how to do it 😅

Ah I love your videos, but wish you were full time veggie 🤣

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

I would say I am around 80% of the time, haha 😅

[@uhuburu4515]

I kinda hate it how you nibble all the food you try. To get to full experience of dutch snacks you just stuff the whole thing in your mouth and get that mouth feel. Just don't nibble your poffertje!

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

It's because it was very hot haha 😆 But thanks for the feedback. Will make sure to be more intentional with the bites next time

[@Sean-dm6zt]

No quality food

[@ziggyben13]

Xiao long bao??? That is isn’t dutch at all. Ur making a video of dutch foods - you’re in Holland - show the Dutch food, not the Chinese.( which is delicious but not Dutch😕👎🏻.

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

I wanted to show a bit of the variety you can find in the Albert Cuyp Market, a mix of Dutch food and international food 😉
