Once it was the central local market, nowadays it’s a tourist hotspot. But still enjoyable. And this is the place to buy your cheese or eat your raw fish. Do not, really not , buy cheese in one of the hundred cheese shops in the center. They only sell cheese for high prices made in big factories. On the market you buy traditional good tasting Dutch cheese.

Still a bit a market for locals. Enjoy, cause it will become a tourist hotspot soon. And also a place to buy your cheese, eat raw fish and the patat frites with mayonaise is the best here. Vincent Vega must have lived in this neighborhood, told you much about “ French fries” in Pulp Fiction.

Buy your cheese on the market
So many cheese shops in the centre. But it's bad factory cheese. Buy your cheese on the local markets or directly from far.
