On Fridays there are always 5 cuties, aka: the Friday Five. To join us this weekend, or just... 5 fun ones, because you can. Like this Friday: 5 cool news from the Randstad.

Van 't Spit, Rotterdam You either didn't know it or you did know it, but it doesn't really matter because we'll just say it again: Amsterdam's Van 't Spit is one of our favorite chicken places in the country. The club did this for the first time on Clercqstraat in Amsterdam West. Then we moved to the Amsterdamse Pijp and now there is great news for team Roffa: Van 't Spit is opening its first branch in Rotterdam! To be continued, Van 't Spit

Roast Chicken Bar / The Egg Store, Haarlem What came first, the chicken or the egg? What the heck, in Haarlem they just do it both: during the day egg dishes are served at the Haarlem Turfmarkt, which in the evening make way for tender chickens. On Sunday it really gets fun: the Sunday Roast with live music and bloody mary's, what else. Turfmarkt 26, Haarlem, Roast Chicken Bar

Chicks & Coqs, Amsterdam Okay, this one's a bit tricky because we're all thinking it... coqs? seriously? I'm a chick and I fancy a 'cocq'? No no no dear vulgar Freudian people. Coqs isn't misspelled (or okay, it is actually, but that's on purpose): the 'coq' that comes with the chick in this case stands for cocktails. Ah. And those chicks? Those are Peruvian chickens to serve alongside those cocktails. And just let Peruvian have the hits of the year. Chicks & Coqs is in the same building as Pawn10, and is done by (more or less) the same people: ditto building, new pop-up concept. So go before it's too late!

Yoepz, Amsterdam Van 't Spit goes from Amsterdam to Rotterdam and Yoepz came from Utrecht, so, voila, to Amsterdam. In de Pijp opened in a gigantic building (around the corner from the first Troost brewery and diagonally opposite The Meets) the country's nicest new one for chicken and lobster. Simple concept, tip top execution, including bib at the front collateral damage (more info? to be continued soon). Ferdinand Bolstraat 188, Amsterdam, Youpz

The Hen House, Rotterdam As we speak there is still a lot of work being done on the brand new The Hen House in Rotterdam. The 'where' is known: Rotterdam Central Station. The 'what' also: chicken chicken chicken. And we will keep you informed about how this will all turn out!

And 6, the well-known BONUS: MaMa Kelly, The Hague MaMa Kelly? That's nothing new, is it? No, it isn't, but it is still one of our favorites when it comes to big, 'Sunday' chicken (and lobster) bones, with or without La Familia. And now MaMa Kelly has a great Easter program: a breakfast and lunch buffet for the whole family: breakfast from 09.00:11.30 am to XNUMX:XNUMX am, lunch from 12.30 to 15.00. Costs for the buffet are 29,50 per person and kids aged 3-12 pay 14,50. The little ones are allowed to come along for free. But, the brasserie is reserved for the whole family (read: without children). A la carte it is, all day long, and the first glass of cava is on the house. Saturnusstraat 100, The Hague, momma kelly
