Dutch delights 🧇

It’s a tradition: festive Dutch delicacies like an ‘oliebol’. The ‘oliebol’ is Dutch sweet fried dough ball that is eaten on New Year’s Eve. A lot vendors not only have the ‘oliebol’ but also other sweet deligts like waffles, churros and macarons. Get yours at:

  • Banketbakkerij Lunchroom In De Kroon (Hamstraat 3): in 2016, Frank and his team baked the most delicious ‘oliebollen’ in Limburg. They are still very tasty this year too 😉
  • Oliebollen booth @ Stationsplein: Harrie and Karin have been in Roermond for almost 30 years with their booth. They have more choices like churros, waffles and beignets.
  • DutchHomemade Macarons (Roersingelpassage 1A): delicious macarons with more than 25 different flavors.
