Have frequented De Vliegende Hollander many, many time since 1987. Almost always a decent score. Several years ago they renovated and have a great appearance. Nice sales space. No attitude, no
pretenses... consistently the largest and best quality menu in town. Easy access from train station (short 8 minute walk). I occasionally peruse a couple other shops in town but rarely buy anything.
Just seeing where they rate in comparison to DVH.
In 2018 there is no reason to operate as a dumpy, dark, hole-in-the-wall. I avoid easy to find coffeeshops like those close to Centraal Station in A'dam, especially the tourist traps like Bulldog,
Grasshopper. This place is not a tourist trap. They are a genuine and knowledgeable bunch. Here are some points of interest at the Vliegende Hollander:
* Excellent, fresh supplies.
* Competitive prices.
* Knowledgeable, experienced staff.
* No cheating on the weight!
* Smoking area, etc.
* THEY CLEAN AND WEIGH YOUR ORDER RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. They are 'Old School' -- no pre-packaged, dried-out products here (as is common in so many shops these days).
Hadn't been here in about 5 months. Visited this weekend and felt I should report back to those cruising the 'net for info. If you're in or near Groningen, it's worth a short train ride.
