Heerlijk gegeten in dit bijzonder sfeervolle restaurant. De eigenaar is zeer gastvrij en maakt dat zijn gasten zich echt gast voelen.

Een No-nonsense Eethuisje met smakelijke gerechten en een gezellige bediening. Ook voor de kids valt wat te kiezen. En als je tijdig reserveert, kan je met een klein gezelschap in het tegenover liggende brugwachtershuisje intiem dineren.

Via social deals app 2 vouchers kunnen regelen voor een 2 gangendiner. Heel gezellig plekje aan het water, gemakkelijk terug te vinden. Het personeel is ook erg spraakzaam en heeft een goede en leuke houding. Het eten raad ik aan en ook de sorbets gaan er makkelijk in ;) Het is een cafeetje met een ouderwetse style, wat in mijn opzicht de sfeer naar binnen trekt. De biefstuk is een aanrader!

Great cosy cafe, good choice of beer & spirits. 5 of us were over from England for the track world champs at the velodrome, after Saturdays racing we stopped in for a quick drink but ended up staying all night, the owner looked after us superbly, very friendly guy, even sorted us a taxi back to the hotel. We went back after the sundays racing on the way home & there was some great live music on, we sat outside drinking & the owner, René I think, sent us out a tray of complimentary nibbles. Many thanks, you’re a credit to Apeldoorn & gave us fond memories of our visit.
