A fine option for dining in the very touristic Giethoorn. The highlight of our time here was not…read morethe food or the ambiance, but the watching of boats slamming into each other in the water and unable to steer through the overcrowded canalways. Reader, Giethoorn in the summer months is hot mess nightmare that I would actually recommend skipping. As for this eatery, the outdoor seating is nice and if you have to kill three hours before your tour departs back to Amsterdam, this is a good place to do it since everything takes forever. My burger was just okay - really mealy bun and served with a strange corn salad, but the fries were (shocker!) quite good. Most of the fries I had on this vaca were good, though. The Netherlands knows how to fry a potato. Anyways it's also unclear if you should order via QR code or wait for one of the children who works here to come serve you. No one will come up to you or give you a menu or explain anything so I recommend just sort of giving in to the whole experience. You will pay double for the pleasure! Enjoy (or skip).

I cannot recommend this place enough. It made us feel at home.

They begin serving lunch at 12 p.m. Roseanne was a very nice server. We began with a delicious Illy cappuccino. I ordered a cheese sandwich. It was good. The chips that come with it though look like bagged nachos. They should put French fries on the side instead. My travel mates ordered French fries. I hadn't tried then on my Netherlands trip yet. They let me try them. They were delicious. Just a note, the Dutch eat them with mayo. There was a big adorable ginger cat lounging inside. Don't feed him. He's diabetic.

We walked in and were transported to a Buddha bar, modern ambiance with gorgeous furnishings and comfy velvet booths made even more comfy and opulent by lumbar bolster pillows. A welcomed warm(er) temperature allowed us to remove outside jackets, scarves and hats. The gracious manager pulled over a coat rack sso we could hang everything without risk of spilling or falling on the (spotless) floor. Lots of room between diners so plenty of privacy in an open concept grand dining area. This would fit in Vail or any other high end resort and be packed all the time. The food was fantastic! We had seven diners who ate a variety of selections. All were delicious! Tom Gai soup, fish and chips, classic Dutch sandwich, smoked salmon, veal croquet and a tomato soup that was nothing short of fantastic! Even my husband who doesn't like tomatoes ate all his soup. Restrooms are clean, spacious and private. The beer options were excellent. Plenty of ice when asked for my soda which doesn't often happen for this American. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed the food, service and ambiance. Highly recommend!

This Italian place is in the very center of the water village. On one of the isolated islands. With plenty seats both inside and outside in the yard. Fabio served us is also the owner, well son of the owner. We were treated very pleasantly. He lend us a charger for our phone battery emergency. They have pizza, pasta, and many other dishes of large portion. The price is around 8 to 12 for pasta and pizza. We had two coffees, shared one pizza of spicy salami and one truffle ice cream dessert. It was wonderful. We end up really satisfied with only 19 euro bill. To top up, Fabio was so friendly and passionate about his business. He chat with every costumer like they are friends. This is a family business he run with his uncle and dad. And they are from Sicily. Definitely visit again if we ever comes back to Giethoorn!

In this case go ahead order a bottle of good sparkling water instead. If you are hungry order the pizza. If you order other dishes it will be a longer wait. The service here is just under staffed. Do have all of your food come together. Don't recommend the house wine. Order other wine that is made by other winery. The beef dish is great. The dairy is Northland's main business. So order steak is for sure is a good choice. The Tiramisu is just so so. Taste like the regular cake. So don't expect too much. The salad seems all under dressing in all the restaurant in this country. Over all we like it.

"See, this called kitchen Ferrari stove, this is particularly good because ..." known as one of the best restaurants in the Netherlands, when Restaurant de Lindenhof chef Martin Martin Kruithof realized that my bf is also a chef, he passionately introduced his kitchen to us. Different from the general Michelin restaurant, after awarded two stars, chef Martin still cooks. They host guests to visit the kitchen from time to time, sit in the kitchen, and welcomes children to the restaurant, and all of these are intended to give guests a "Michelin cuisine, but to your feelings like home" feeling. As soon as we sat down, 7 courses free appetizers were served. Amazing! Seven! Some of them reminded us the day-to-day Dutch food but is just so delicious and well-made in fresh ingredients and skillful details. I love one that looks like Japanese hand roll - the raw fish on top was fresh and the style was so cute. The fried tomato on top of lemon ice cream was a surprise and I loved it! We selected 12 course "Martin's choice" and it came with duck, sweetbread, crab, beef, fish, and many more. The sweetbread tastes like Asian marinated sauces, which we loved it. The crab covered with sauces which was made as shaved iced. The ice which made with sauces melted in my mouth along with the fresh crab. Awesome. Duck liver was also very tasty even I usually don't eat duck liver. The lobster soup was very strong and you felt like eating a real lobster. Only small issue is that we got a small piece of crab shell on our plate. The coffee ice cream tiramisu was great. I personally think the lemon ice cream was too bitter but my bf loved it. We are so lucky and honored to visit Martin's kitchen and amazingly they only have 5 staff. So clean, so many different sauces from various countries, and chef Martin is so passionate and still experimenting new dishes using new ingredients. Of course, services was awesome. I think the executive chef/owner Martin was not working for winning Michelin. However, doing something he loves with passion and do it to the best, then the honor and awards came. I learned an amazing lesson tonight at this Michelin star restaurant.
