If you want to try the local specialisties, do not forget to start the day with herrings! They are served with chopped onions on top and sweet & sour pickled cornichon.
If fish does not tempt you, you can opt for one of these warm sausauges served on a bed of kiel and mashed potatoes. 
Vegetarians can have a pannekoek with kaas. Pannekoeken are like French crepes, except that they are much thicker and the flavors are cooked with the dough. Mine was with cheese, but they also make them with bacon or onions .. you name it. 
Whatever the hour of the day, you can try kaas ... the owner of the cheese shop or Kaas Specialist near the palce where I stay when I asked when the Dutch had cheese, said "anytime ... all the time"! 
They have it for breakfast with bread, but they also add it to many quick dishes, like this "fried egg with tomatoes" I tried a few days ago which had melted kaas on top.

If you have a sweet tooth, for an afternoon snack you can try the local waffles with its delicious cinnamon flavord syrup inside. 
Dutch waffles are thinner than theBelgium ones I had another time I came to Amsterdam, and round. You better hold it flat, or the syrup will do a mess of your hands!
There you go!
There you go!
