While in Berlin almost every Kiez has its own farmers market
on Saturday, in Amsterdam we just have one: the Farmers market in de
Noordermarkt. It’s, as on Kollwitzplatz, a place where tourist and locals meet.
In Berlin we visit the market weekly. Mostly for a sausage,
fish or falafel lunch while the kids are enjoying themselves on the playground,
but also because it’s the only place I know so far where you can get good fish
and seafood.
The Noordermarkt in Amsterdam is a real only organic farmers
market and it’s very nice to visit every once in a while, but it’s (for us) not
suitable for the weekly stuff because it’s just too expensive. They do have beautiful products though from
the best organic lam to a stall specialized in mushrooms and very good homemade
fries with homemade mayonnaise. A big part of the market also is the only
weekly second hand market of Amsterdam, every Saturday and every Monday. When
in Amsterdam I would definitely recommend strolling around the farmers market
on Saturday morning. We only went for the fries and mayo this time.
