Perfect
location to start or end the 8 km hike around the Reindersmeer lake. My friends
and I prefer to end our nature hikes at this restaurant. It’s a bit difficult
to walk at a brisk pace on a full stomach. Favorites here are the tuna
sandwich, the schnitzel special, ice cream in the summer, warm fresh waffles
with cherries and savory or sweet pancakes. Prices are reasonable with
sandwiches and ice cream in the 6 euro range and warm meals costing about 12 to
15 euros. On a sunny day, there’s plenty of tables out on the terrace
overlooking the water. This is also a dog-friendly establishment.
The
architecture of this establishment is also rather clever. The building
straddles the old canal locks thus affording it unobstructed views out over the
canal on one side and the lake on the other side. Both ends of the building
feature a permanent exhibit on the local wildlife.
