Bitterballen
Deep-fried meatballs?! In Amsterdam, you can go to a food stand and order “bitterballen,” and you’ll get just that. They’re greasy, fatty, and perfect if you’re out on the town having drinks.

Oliebollen
Deep-fried sweet dumplings that are filled with fruits and dusted with powdered sugar, these Dutch treats are a wintertime favorite and are perfect to warm up your body and get a sugar rush going.
