Grand Dutch Cafe

What is complimentary and what is at cost at the 'Grand Dutch Cafe' onboard the 'Nieuw Statendam'?

From what I remember the food is free (try the fries and peanut sauce) and drinks, such as cappuccino, beers you pay for........I loved this spot for my afternoon cappuccino......

Food is free but you must pay for all drinks.

There are also bags of licorice sweets  😍 that must be paid for.

Agreed!   Darn good pea soup and they have some pretty fantastic pastries too.  They have one pastry that sort of looks like an éclair that was heavenly.   Love the Dutch Café

The 7-inch diameter chocolate chip cookies are chewy, buttery, and free.

 

Here is the Grand Dutch Cafe menu:

I enjoyed this venue recently on the NS. The chocolate chip cookie is fantastic!  And HUGE! It is the size of a plate.  And free too.  The chocolate  covered pastry is like a chocolate covered eclair.  It is free and delicious too.  Unfortunately I did not have a chance to try the food, but it looked good as they displayed some entrees in the glass case.  Great spot to sit and enjoy your treats.  There is a small alcove area that looks out to the ocean. Lovely little spot to eat or drink.

Just got off the Koningsdam on Wed. Grand Dutch cafe was a favourite place...for the Dutch food: Apple pancake, croquettes, fries, other items. European beer is available, Heineken & some others. Wait staff were excellent and allowed me to practice some of my limited Dutch.

So many goodies!  Once in the MDR, I ordered The "Uitsmijter" for Breakfast.  Believe me, it should not be considered a "snack".  I did not want Lunch or anything else to eat until dinner!  It was delicious, but filled me to the brim!

Does anyone know if the beverages there are included in the standard beverage package? They're all under the price limit, but I didn't know if that location as a whole was included.

I enjoyed the Dutch Cafe especially the chocolate covered pastry. Yum!

Beverages are included under the package - huge range of beers not available at other bars too.

Aw yes pea soup.  That brings back memories of when I was in Alaska in 2010 on the Amsterdam.

They opened up the Bow of the ship during glacier visits and served warm pea soup.  YUM

That's great to hear! I'm looking forward to sampling those beers!

I will be on a ship with the Grand Dutch Cafe for the first time in Nov.  Thank you Crew News for the menu and Thank you Margar for the photos.  Looks like I may be spending quite a bit of time here.

I don't think so.  I don't recall seeing anyone drinking wine.
