My wife and I love a good English breakfast, do enjoy pub lunches, fish and chips... and so much more English food. We're now living in Haarlem for 7 years and it was only last Friday that we went to Ma Brown's... and what a wonderful surprise, not in the last place since the owner Michael is an amazing man...

If you are ever in Holland & vaguely in the direction of Haarlem, don't waste any time wondering where to have dinner, head straight here.In fact it's worth the trip from the UK just to for this.......but book first. Owner & chef, Michael, seeks out traditional & unusual recipes to create a British menu, imaginative & using the finest ingredients.Always... More

One of the highlights every time I visit Haarlem, I can honestly say I have been going there since 1990. It is a small restaurant of about only 8 tables, so my advice is to book early to avoid disappointment. Cozy, friendly atmosphere and Michael (owner & chef) always has time to come and have a chat with you. The... More

The restaurant isn't too big and it has a nice atmosphere. The British food is quite different to what most Dutch people are used to, but it's always tasty and there is enough of it. As other reviews have said before: make sure to save space for dessert as they are the best I have seen anywhere.

We cometo Ma Browns very often. The menu is always very different from main stream restaurants which is nice. Chef Mike makes sure there is something for everyone, based on English cooking. Especially the desert-trolley makes every dinner at Ma Browns a real party!
