Just grab a sandwich Uncle Pete. This is what the name of restaurant Ome Pietje Haarlem sounds like and so on, let's be honestIt also looks like it from the outside. We had already walked past Restaurant Ome Pietje on the Spaarne in Haarlem countless times and nothing suggested that you could eat incredibly delicious food there. The concept: no nonsense. Both in terms of name and decor as well as the food. "Don't expect Michelin level at Uncle Pietje, it's just cozy here," we were told upon entering. And that is how the name Uncle Pietje came about. The owner wanted the restaurant to be accessible, for everyone to come in, just like your uncle's. Voila: Uncle Pietje (if you are close to your family).

A etagere will be placed on the table and will be filled again and again with new dishes. The best thing is to let the kitchen choose which dishes you will eat, but you can also choose it yourself. Oh! That is also true: when you choose the dishes yourself, the kitchen chooses the order and combinations so that it all tastes just right. The falafel salad, the pancakes with Peking duck and the Oriental tuna were our favorites. As for the wine, you can choose a bottle, but the wine menu is also served (very) well. And yes, it's true, now that we're known to Uncle Pietje, We will definitely come in more often. Uncle Pietje has two branches: one in Haarlem and the other in Beverwijk. So you know. Uncle Pete

Oh and on August 25 the Fish Market will be organized at Uncle Pietje in Haarlem! In the morning the chef goes to the fish auction in IJmuiden to buy a lot of fish. In the evening when you sit down, you can choose which fish and how much fish you want to eat, just like at the market. This fish will then be filleted and grilled for you a la minute. Nom.
