The place

A family of eel smokers with a restaurant next to their smokehouse, at the northern end of the harbour. The menu revolves around fish: the house smoked eel, which is what you should try in Volendam, and the fish of the day. Next door, the shop sells smoked products to take away and a small museum tells the village's musical history.

Practical details

Open for lunch from 12:00 to 15:30 and for dinner from 17:00, Tuesday to Sunday; closed on Monday. Book by phone or on its website, especially in summer and at weekends. If you only want to try the eel, the shop sells it by the portion.

What to order: the smoked eel from its own smokehouse, as a starter to share.
