🍽️ Family Lunch at Keuken van Elsje – A Taste of Nostalgia 🇳🇱✨
Stepping into Keuken van Elsje felt like walking into a cozy Dutch grandmother’s kitchen—warm, inviting, and filled with the aroma of comfort food that brought back so many childhood memories. This charming family-run restaurant delivered a heartwarming lunch experience that was both nostalgic and soul-satisfying.
We started with the Bitterballen van Elsje, crispy on the outside with a rich and creamy beef ragout filling that melted in your mouth—hands down a must-try starter. The Elsje Rissole followed, golden and flaky, filled with a savory meat mix that reminded me of festive family gatherings.
For mains, the Galantina van Hutspot was the true showstopper (📸)—beautifully rolled and stuffed meat, served over buttery mashed potatoes with a rich, brown gravy. Every bite was tender and full of flavor, and the peas and carrots gave it that home-cooked balance.
We also enjoyed Klassieke Stamppot, a traditional Dutch mashed potato dish with vegetables and sausage—comfort food at its finest. The Fettucine met Romiga was creamy, simple, and comforting, while the Tongue Beef Steak was unexpectedly tender and deeply flavorful.
Every dish was crafted with care and full of heart. If you’re longing for a meal that feels like home and stirs up sweet memories of the past, Keuken van Elsje is a gem worth revisiting. 💙🇳🇱
