Having lived in Amsterdam I would strongly deny this. Restaurants in NL are below Western European standards. And a quasi-monopoly by one particular supermarket chain means it's a hassle to find quality ingredients for home cooked meals too. For instance, if I recall correctly, Albert Hein ham has about 60% meat in it and it looks really pale.
