WHO was asking me about these? sanurasnowpaw , shilohselene omgwtfbarb I forgot who else....enjoy! It was lovely and yummy! I'll definitely go again

is it normal for everything to be in english in a restaurant?

It's really funny that I went to Haarlem to eat in Queens.
New Yorkers will get it. LOL

everything looks so wonderful

Oh! Looks like great time was had!

looks like a good place

omgwtfbarb: not at all!! Normally it's in Dutch. In the bigger cities the menus are often in Dutch and English but everything else inside (signs and such) is in Dutch. Lots of places have an English menu upon request. I'm so used to Dutch now that I find the English menus confusing often. LOL They're not well translated. This place is a British tea house...

so everything was in English. Plus the owner is a British expat who was speaking primarily in English. She did speak a bit of Dutch with us, but her accent was so bad that it was almost unrecognizable. Yak drilled pronunciation into me, and as annoyed as I was about it, I'm glad he did it. I still have very much a non-Dutch accent but

I'm quite understandable (so I've been told).

SanuraSnowpaw: It really was lovely! I would like to go back again if I have someone to go with. I love Haarlem. It's more manageable than Amsterdam. Less busy

StereoNacht: we really did! But I ate too much. LOL

sjonsvenson: het was heel gezellig!

ohh gotcha, that makes sense. looks lovely anyway!

omgwtfbarb: thanks! It was. If you come over to visit then we can go there

That looks amazing & the sense of humor is delightful
