We ended up at this restaurant on the recommendation of a local after considering several others that were well rated. What a delight it turned out to be. The restaurant was quiet when we arrived. Our waitress was personable and capable and fluent in English. The food was creatively prepared and delicious! We were served three "amuses" each of which was a tiny work of art. Sauces were rich and delicious, vegetables light and fresh and perfectly complemented their main dishes. The table settings were simple but elegant with lovely linens, and set a good tone for the evening.

A bright, beautiful simple restaurant.
Well received and shown to a lovely table beautifully presented with comfortable chairs (padded seats).
Glass of house champagne (Bereche et fils); delicious.
The chef is there; maybe its because we are with two locals who rave about this restaurant. Anyway I am tempted to go all things local (Friesian: name of the region).
Prior to our meal were served beautiful amuse bouche of a sea food melange and a corn disc with popcorn on top: yes it sounds bizarre but it was beautiful.
First smoked eel with gorgeous salad and dressings (beautifully presented) then two local fish (dont ask me to remember them), again delicious.
All served with a beautiful Beaune white wine recommended by the chef; the wine was at a very readonable price and was the best Burgundy I had this year.
The service was very efficient and the chef was very interesting to talk to about the foods of the region and the wines recommended.
Whilst I loved the wines, I thought the wine list was a bit of a "scatter gun" approach ! Only critique.
Otherwise I heartily recommend this divine establishment; was this helpful ?

Every thing you want , clean, friendly and a nice place to wander around plenty of bars/cafes. I only had a few hours to kill so wandered around dodging heavy rain, but I was impressed with the old but well maintained town and marina, and like every where in the Netherlands no litter.

When you enter this restaurant, you step back to the 60'.
The decoration gives you a fantastic experience, with old books, TV's and all sorts of vintage machines.
The service is quick and very friendly. We can recommend the spareribs, they are delicious.
Certainly a place to recommend

Stopped by this pub/restaurant on the way back to the Hotel. As the name suggests it is a German orientated place. It seems to be quite new(Early 2013?) or recently refurbished anyway. They had a nice Bitburger beer to wash the meal down.
I had the mixed grill followed by an apple strudel . Both were generous portions and well prepared. The waiter(Owner I think) was not the most bonhomie of chaps, but give me that over "Have a nice day" any-time .
The place was clean and the service prompt, apart from a delay in actually paying the bill, but all in all a pleasant place to dine.
There was some Seating outside so I am sure I will try the place again in the warmer weather.

Stopped off for a light lunch. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Choices of food available were of a quantity expected in such a establishment with toasties and club sandwiches. These were well presented and chicken club Sandwich was well presented and delicious. Cost was reasonable for a family of four. If this was in my hometown, I would be a regular.
10. Bistro Fred

Our party of four visited Bistro Fred on a Friday evening and the place was buzzing and quite noisy. The uninspiring menu was mainly meat-based, with very little choice for fish lovers or vegetarians. I ordered the starter of home-smoked mackerel and salmon. The fish was delicately smoked and excellent. My main, the only vegetarian main course option, was a spinach schnitzel on a bed of couscous. I was interested to sample a spinach schnitzel but when it arrived was disappointed. Basically a (probably factory-made) large, deep fried, pretty tasteless object: spinach coated with breadcrumbs. The couscous was OK and of course included the inevitable goats cheese. The other members of the party had fish of the day (three overprlced but apparently quite tasty, pan fried Dover Sole), the other some sort of pork schnitzel with bacon which received positive remarks.
The beer menu was clearly Heineken influenced, this multinational, as usual, offering only uninteresting and bland beers, with no tasty microbrewery or local brews to be seen.
The service was prompt but tinged with a slight customer-unfriendly edge.
All in all quite pricy for what we got.
This sort of place could do with updating the menu: less meat, more fish and vegetarian options, washed down with some fine local beer.
