La Ronda Hoofddorp is an all-inclusive world tapas restaurant on the Marktplein in the centre of Hoofddorp, a short drive from Schiphol Airport. Its shared-dining format makes it an easy, sociable choice for corporate group dinners and team evenings.
Guests order two dishes per person per round and keep ordering as many rounds as they like, so the table is served continuously and everyone tastes their way across the menu. Food and a selection of drinks are included in one fixed price per guest, which keeps budgeting for a group straightforward.
The kitchen is open to the dining room and works with fresh ingredients from several world cuisines — cold and warm tapas alongside specialities from a traditional wood-fired oven, including pizzas baked at high temperature. Tables are not held to a strict time limit, so an evening here can run at its own pace.
