We had been cycling through the park for what felt like HOURS without any food (our mistake, won't…read moreever do that again). I really thought I wasn't going to make it, and there, out of the middle of nowhere, appears a sign for this pancake house. I hate pancake houses, but I had never, ever, EVER been so happy to see one. I turned on my internal turbo and we made it. The fare is pretty standard - pancakes, some tostis and a few omelets. I can recommend the boerenomelet - enough for two people to share and very satisfying. They have places to fill water bottles, toilets, snacks to-go (bars, etc.), etc.

This was one of my favorite places I visited while in the Netherlands. The only spot I actually got…read morefood from twice. One thing I deeply appreciated after dodging cigarette smoke constantly is that their tables outside do not allow smoking!! I am so allergic to cigarette smoke and its just a terrible habit that poisons everyone around you, and they were the only establishment I came across that took a stand against it to protect the health of their workers and clients that don't choose to slowly kill their bodies, as so many others let it on their terraces while keeping their doors open so people just smoked at table right by the door and it would pour inside... so anyways, end rant and on to their food. I had a matcha latte and it was creamy, smooth, and perfectly balanced, and they also gave this lovey chocolate confection on the side. The sandwiches are what dreams are made of. You can select your bread and I got two different sandwiches. The salmon and the spicy chicken. Both were perfectly balanced in their filling ratios and full of flavor. I would go every week if they had this place back home. They also have smoothies and juices, and just are a nice healthy spot to enjoy while visiting Zutphen.

As a solo diner on a mission to find a quirky, charming spot, I stumbled upon this…read morerestaurant--except, at first, I wasn't entirely sure it *was* a restaurant. Tucked away from the road, with a veranda overlooking a peaceful pond, it had the aura of a secret escape rather than an eatery. I had to blink twice before convincing myself I wasn't trespassing into someone's very scenic backyard. Since the rain was doing its best to ruin my dream of pondside dining, I headed inside and was greeted warmly. A friendly waitress translated the Dutch menu into English with the patience of a saint, ensuring I didn't accidentally order something that would challenge my taste buds in unexpected ways. Enter my meal: a gloriously crafted open egg sandwich with salad, paired with decaf coffee (yes, I'm *that* person). What can I say? It was delicious--so delicious, in fact, that my stomach betrayed me, forcing me to stop at just half. If I had room for regrets, it would be that my appetite wasn't large enough for the full experience. I also made an amusing blunder, mistakenly assuming that the two wonderful waitresses assisting me were sisters. One of them laughed and gently corrected me--proving, yet again, that my detective skills are absolutely nonexistent. Final verdict? A hidden treasure, friendly staff who tolerate confused solo diners with grace, and a meal worth dreaming about. Also, your wallet will thank you. 10/10, would gladly get lost finding this place again!

My husband and I took some time off for lunch because beautiful Dutch weather doesn't occur often. We shared the starter soup and ordered different luncheon entrees. We quite enjoyed the lobster soup; though I hate to say, I have had better. I am still looking to re-create that lobster soup experience I had when hubby surprised me with a trip to Iceland for my 50th, and the Blue Lagoon was our hang-out during my special day. In this case, the soup was almost-but-not-quite-there-next-to-perfection, so the reason for my 4 stars. Maybe next time I can upgrade them to 5, with different dishes. My carpaccio beef salad sandwich was good, and my husband was pleased with his salmon sandwich. Add to that the view, quiet ambiance, good service, and we had a lovely lunch. I do recommend.
