We went there on a Saturday night with a reservation, which aooeared to be necessary.The restaurant appeared to be packed including the terrace in front of the restaurant. The menu includes popular dishes, including starters, desserts and an elaboratie Coffee menu. The service is also friendly, popular as well as a bit cocky. The restaurant is decoratie with all sorts of fishing and island related items.

In the middle of town, near all the beautiful old buildings.Big terrace with heathers and a very attentive staff. The food is excellent and the choice of whines is also very nice. There is enough place, but it is wise to make a reservation, because they are a busy restaurant.

This restaurant is more of a bar hangout type of restaurant. Serves pricey bar food and drinks.A tourist destination for âlocalâ food. The food is mediocre but expensive, yet eating out in the Netherlands is always expensive. Dark bar type atmosphere. I would say good stop for a evening cold beer or G&T.

De Walvis, perhaps the most beautiful place in the Netherlands. A unique location on het Groene Strand near the high dune of West Terschelling. With a wide view over 'de wadden', nature reserve de Noordsvaarder and in the distance our beautiful neighbor I

Been here several times in 2017. Each time we had good food and average drinks. Average drinks, in the sense that the drinks are alright but completely overpriced and poorly served (a small glass of bio apple juice for about 3⬠?!, luke warm "hot" chocolate, watery coffee....).What I am absolutely tired about when it comes to establishments that don't genuinly care about their guests, because they have enough guests anyway thanks to their location and the ceaseless stream of tourists, even off season, is the attitude of the staff (and apparently the management as well according to several recent reviews).Being a hospitality professional myself, I understand how hard it is to get good and trained staff. If you decide to work with cheap students however, you can still train them a minimum or simply don't let them be in direct contact with your guests. Alternatively, pay more and hire professionals.If I have to make all kind of gestures and signs to get the attention of a waiter (which in itself should never happen) and then, after 15 minutes decide to go to the bar myself to place the order or pay straight to the bartender, I wish to be recognised and possibly even get an apology for having to come myself to the bar. But I certainly don't want to be told that I stand in the way in a rude manner.A one minute observation of the staff's action behind and in front of the bar exposes the lack of professionalism, the de-organisation and highly unpleasant stress that this causes shows in the chaos and reflects directly on the guests via the grumpy student waiters and waitresses.I understand that this is a goldmine and that the one who got the exclusive license from the authorities to run this establishment wants to maximise his/her profit. However, it is still a hospitality venue, where guests expect to be treated with hospitality. Unfortunately, it seems to be a global phenomenon that such establishments in tourist destinations have forgotten the core of the business that I mentioned several times already because there's never a lack of guests: Hospitality.A suggestion could be to run an internetshop or a souvenir outlet instead, where a guest is a client and interaction with your buyer is by far less important. The answers from the management to some reviews on this platform confirm that the management isn't knowledgeable at all about hospitality and how it ought to be brought.A missed opportunity but praise to the kitchen team that seems to prepare food with care, taste and attention.

This restaurant is in the dunes on the beach, a lovely location. It has indoor and outdoor space. Itâs definitely on the casual side, as a beach restaurant, but the food is very good and the service is friendly and efficient. Itâs not a quiet or romantic place, with lots of family groups and children running around, but for a casual, beach place, it has excellent seafood and is well worth a visit. The Wadden salad was delicious, as were the mussels. Iâd call in advance to check the hours, because they change weekly depending on the weather and the number of tourists around.

A friendly bar that serves good food late, also on weekdays when many restaurants in Leeuwarden close their kitchens early. The beer selection is great and if you like whiskey, this is probably among your best option in town. The waiters are attentive and have an enjoyable, dry sense of humour. Often there is live music, sometimes they also organize a pub quiz.

Every day they have a different day offer, which is very good value! For â¬10 you get a plate with fries, salad and meat/fish!The food was okay, not incredible but definitely not bad. The fries, which come with most if not all plates, were not so good in my opinion.

I ate here both nights while staying here, and ate breakfast here as well. The restaurant atmosphere is comfortable and easy-going. The menu has a fairly wide range of options. I found the portions here to be quite large, and entrees included a salad, fries, and stewed rhubarb as well. This made for quite the feast, so much so that I was too full to order dessert. Everything I tried was well-prepared and delicious.Service was a bit on the slow side, but I expect that given how busy they were. On the plus side I never felt rushed.
