My relatives there think I'm crazy for being so enamored of tiny little Surhuisterveen. To them, it's nothing much: just the neighboring town where they do their shopping. To me, it's a charming European town with a great mix of practical chain stores and wonderful little boutiques. Where better to watch the locals go about their business on foot and bicycle than Kolkzicht? Literally, it's something like View of the Kolk (the main drag that it's on). During the Summer months (or if you're a smoker), enjoy their outdoor seating for the best view. There are heat lamps if it gets chilly. When last I went, in early December of 2010, that was not an option. Inside it's lovely as well. I just stopped in for an afternoon coffee. I was seated by a window and could gaze outwards, left in peace, to my heart's content. I've been there for drinking and for dinner. Both were great. (Note to self: Too many Berenburgs really are too many!) Next time I'm going to need to try their lunch fare. Uitsmijter, anyone? The bar and restaurant are attractive in a classic way.

The restaurant is located in a shopping street. At first it looks a strange for such high level restaurant. If one would sit on the street side, you'd have a view of an DA shop, Arke and Gall & Gall. Not necessary attractive. Would definitely recommend it to anyone to go get a table inside in the restaurant or surely in the garden area (at the back)

The waiter who attended my table knew the rules! The combination of Djadjan(indonesian) and Nero(pubcafe) in one restaurant is in my opinion a wrong combination.
