Behind the Scenes at Fris

Fris brings guests closer to the artistry of fine dining with exclusive cooking workshops. Led by Chef Eddie Meijboom, these intimate sessions (up to 12 participants) explore seasonal themes like lobster or North Sea delicacies. Participants get hands-on with recipes and techniques, making it a perfect culinary adventure for food enthusiasts. And of course a delicious dinner.

Calm Amidst the City’s Buzz

Tucked beside Frederikspark, Fris offers a serene escape from Haarlem’s bustling shopping streets, just a ten-minute stroll away. Combine a visit to this cosy restaurant with a day of exploration, from the historic Grote Markt and Bavokerk to the city’s hidden hofjes. Haarlem’s rich culture and Fris’s vibrant cuisine create a perfect harmony of experiences.

Dining Without Limits

At Fris, fine dining is for everyone. Alongside expertly paired wines, sommelier Julius Wever creates innovative mocktails and offers non-alcoholic wine pairings that elevate the dining experience. The restaurant’s inviting, unpretentious atmosphere ensures every guest feels welcome—whether for a relaxed family dinner or a romantic evening.

“We believe fine dining doesn’t need to feel formal. Our focus is on bold, clean flavours and an inviting atmosphere where guests can relax and enjoy. It’s all about letting the quality of our dishes and our passion for hospitality speak for itself.”
