The Hansa formed a blossoming trade league in the late middle ages of cities and merchants in especially the NorthSea and the Baltic. Articles such as salt, corn, fish, beer and wine were traded in abundance. In the wake of these economic relations also cultural and culinary exchange took place.
In the year 2002 the culinary heritage of the Hansa can still be enjoyed extremely well. In numerous restaurants in the hanseatic cities along the river IJssel you can become acquainted with traditional dishes from the Hansa days. Honest dishes, based on the local products that were traded during the golden age of the Hanseatic League.
Your choice can be either a Hanzepot or a Hanzemenu. The Hanzepot is a plate service consisting of l course. Every restaurant offers you its own version of this dish at a fixed price of € 11. Should your choice be the more extensive Hansa menu , then you will be served 3 or 4 courses of which composition and price differ per restaurant.
You will recognize the Hansa restaurants by their hanseatic city shield. Elsewhere in this brochure you will find a summary of the participants. They will welcome you whole-heartedly with the slogan:
