Dutch rabbits can eat the same foods that all pet rabbits can eat. See the related question below about rabbit diet for details.
Hay is important for all pet rabbits. Offering hay is the best way to prevent many different rabbit illnesses and problems. Rabbits who eat lots of hay are healthier, generally speaking, so you should really encourage your bunny to eat lots of hay.
There are many other foods that are safe for rabbits to eat, but only in moderation:
Rabbit pellets give a bunny the right balance of vitamins and nutrients, but too much will lead to obesity and other health problems. Plain varieties are better than ones mixed with seeds/grains/dried veg because they're healthier, and because the rabbit might only eat the parts he likes and not get the benefit of a balanced diet.
Most fruits and vegetables should only be offered as a treat, and only if your rabbit is healthy and active (up to 2 tablespoons daily for a 6 pound rabbit).
Dark leafy greens are good in a daily "salad" but it's good to rotate them widely, that way the bunny doesn't eat too much of one kind. Some greens (cruciferous veggies) can cause gas and should be limited or avoided, depending on how sensitive your bunny is. Greens high in calcium should be avoided if your rabbit has a problem with calcium in the urine (like sludge or stones).
Foods that aren't good for Dutch rabbits - or any pet rabbit - includes the following (even if it's sold as a rabbit treat - it's not healthy and should be avoided):
- Nuts
- Seeds
- Grains
- Peas
- Dairy, including yoghurt
- Meat products, animal fats
- Toxic plants (see list below)
- Human foods like cookies, crackers, cereals, chocolate, oatmeal, candy
- Fresh corn
- Alcohol, drugs

They cannot eat the leaves of the plant, but they can eat the flower (aka Bud) and the stems. Rabbits eat marijuana in the wild. I wouldn't feed rabbits marijuana as domestic rabbits are nothing like wild rabbits, they have evolved differently. http://www.adoptarabbit.com/articles/toxic.html

No, rabbits do not eat catmint -- it is reputed to be a good plant to use to repel wild rabbits from your garden, so it is probably not safe to give to pet rabbits (who don't always know what is safe for them and what isn't, like their wild cousins do -- animals lose some of their instincts with domestication). See the related question below about what to feed a rabbit for details about a healthy rabbit diet.
