Beach Pavillion 'Zee en Zo' in Petten

I love this beach bar...dogs are very welcome here 👍

A really lovely restaurant right on the beach. Great food, nice atmosphere.

A typical Pal. The staff, however, were very friendly and efficient. Prices are a bit high, but this is probably due to the location.

Had a great meal here! There is definitely room for improvement.

A really fun place to hang out! It was especially lovely to spend time at Zee & Zo during the kite festival! Tip: try the varied sharing platter!

Cozy beach pavilion. Motivated staff. A point of criticism is that a new price list has been in use at the pavilion for the entire season. It is 10% more expensive than the price list on the internet. That is providing a bit of false information.

When it's busy, you have to wait at the entrance. We waited almost 15 minutes ourselves, and some guests simply walked in and sat at tables that had just become available. After 15 minutes, we did the same, as no one else was coming to the entrance. Some guests were later asked at their tables how they got in and who had assigned them their table. Many servers do this calmly, but some seem annoyed (these servers had already been to the front five times and hadn't shown anyone to their table). Either treat all guests equally, or don't complain. The prices for some drinks should be clearly displayed. Sometimes the drinks are very expensive considering the amount in milliliters.

Nice beach pavilion with friendly waitresses. Delicious apple pie🙂

Very friendly and attentive service and delicious food! We'll be back! 😀

Great view. Service was okay, though not particularly attentive. The mocktails were really delicious, the food was rather average. Good value for money.

The service is friendly, and anyone looking for a quick bite will certainly be happy there. The salads are not recommended, as they are made with very inexpensive ingredients.

A wonderfully relaxed atmosphere with a fantastic lake view. The staff were always friendly. Typical Pavilion menu with daily specials. Prices are reasonable. We'd gladly come back.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our last day of vacation there; the service was incredibly friendly and the food was delicious. The prices were fair for the quality of the food! Highly recommended.

Good restaurant, friendly service. Great!

The salad with goat cheese was delicious! And of course, a walk on the beach was a must...

Everything was great! The restaurant was lovely, the staff was super friendly, and the food was good – what more could you want?!

Beautifully situated on the beach. Good seating and friendly staff.

Highly recommended, prompt and friendly service, nice terrace, delicious lunch.

We ate there 7 times in 7 days. A top-notch beach bar with very friendly hostesses and hosts. Of the 7 times, we had a good meal 6 times and one less so. That can happen once in a while when the chef is off for the day. Not nouvelle cuisine, but tasty dishes nonetheless.

We only had two appetizers, but they were generously sized and delicious! From breakfast and cakes to full lunches and dinners, there's something for everyone here!

This is my idea of ​​a top-notch restaurant, right on the North Sea beach! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food is truly fantastic! We enjoyed our first mussels of the season today. Deliciously prepared, absolutely scrumptious. We'll be back! For anyone who wants to enjoy a relaxed meal with a sea view, we wholeheartedly recommend the team at Strandcafe ZEE & ZO.

A bit pricey, but otherwise 👌 🆗️

The food was okay, the staff were generally friendly, but we had to wait a long time to be served.

Nice beachside tent. Friendly and efficient service! Food is also great!

Very friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Delicious food.

We stayed in a Landal cottage for 2 weeks and ate here regularly. Exceptionally friendly service and very tasty products!

Great location, friendly staff.

The food was delicious 😋 And a beautiful sea view 🌊😍

A wonderful day at the beach with delicious food and a breathtaking sunset. Highly recommended.

Beautiful beach pavilion. Friendly and fast service. Delicious apple pie and coffee.

Had a delicious meal, prompt, friendly service

Beautiful setting and friendly staff. Unfortunately our food was not good. Fish and chips very very overcooked. Sweet potato chips oily. Burgers over cooked and chips dry and not very hot. The dessert was good. An expensive restaurant so you do expect decent food. Staff friendly but we had to call them over for everything even to take our plates away and then ask if we can order dessert. We were not even offered another drink or coffee. Maybe that’s just Dutch service? Definitely room for improvement with such a stunning location on the beach.

A beautifully designed restaurant with excellent food. Very friendly service and a sea view. You really want for nothing here!

Had a delicious dinner. Beautiful view.

The food is good, but nothing exceptional. The price for four meals and four drinks came to €100. The location is fantastic, with a sea view.

Delicious food in a beautiful setting. Our server was also very, very nice. I highly recommend it after a walk on the beach. 🥰

Great place, staff could be a bit friendlier :)

Delicious food, friendly service. Cool atmosphere; you can also take lots of things with you to the beach.

Had a delicious meal and was able to observe the eclipse clearly. Very friendly service!

Always a good experience. Food is great, staff very friendly and helpful. Dogs are welcome. Definitely one of the best, if not the best, beach pavilions in the area.

Lovely place, friendly staff, and delicious sandwiches. Regretted we didn't order the Juttersplank🙈

A place to relax and feel good 🥰 great view, very attentive staff and delicious 😋 food, I can highly recommend it to everyone.

Great location. Nice and friendly staff. The restrooms are okay. Looking forward to my next visit.

Very nice place and the food was delicious, right on the beach, we'll come back again.

Very easy to reach, restrooms spotlessly clean, friendly service. Food and drinks are delicious. Well worth a visit.

The driftwood plank is highly recommended.

Ordered a hamburger with calamari; a sad burger with little lettuce and tomato, topped with a rock-hard, over-fried dough ring in which the calamari was nowhere to be found. The fish and chips wasn't much better: the fish was completely hard-fried, with a rim you could barely cut through. And then the sole: two and a half instead of three, sloppily dumped on the plate with the heads lying loose. The waitress indicated that she had already received multiple complaints about the food that evening. All the more remarkable that apparently no action was taken and no form of compensation was offered. It seems as if poor quality is simply accepted: the complaints are known, but no one does anything about them. In short: a rather disappointing experience.

Beautiful view, friendly staff. Prices on the expensive side.

It is cozy there and the atmosphere is good too. Had a nice time sitting there. But food and drinks are a bit expensive. €€

Always delicious food. Nice seating both outside and inside. Friendly staff. You get served quickly. So, a great little spot for a bite and a drink 🥳

Delicious lunch, good bread, carpaccio, and tuna salad. Very friendly and attentive service. Nice spot on the terrace, served quickly. A solid 10.

Beautiful ambiance, wonderful view and delicious food, including vegetarian and vegan options.

Ate super delicious cod on perhaps the most beautiful summer day of this year.

A really lovely place to relax! Easily accessible via the stairs directly at the pavilion or a few meters further on, which is wheelchair accessible. The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly. You can order both snacks and full meals. We love coming back every year. <3 One point deducted because other pavilions with small seating areas and lounges are a bit more cozy.

A really lovely beach bar for having a coffee or drink, lunch, or dinner. We have returned several times; every time the staff is incredibly sweet and attentive, the food is delicious, and the prices are great for this view and location. It is cheaper than the beach bars in the area, and the atmosphere and food are better. Highly recommended!! Also fun for children; they have really tasty mini pancakes, among other things!

Service excellent, location a bit noisy, food reasonable

This place used to be a letdown, but it is getting better. The food is reasonably good and the location is excellent, with parking close to the beach. It has improved again now in 2026. Finally, Petten has a proper beach bar again.

Very tasty hake! 😇 Friendly service and plenty of space 😊

Perfect ambiance and top-notch food mussel pot = superb

Tasty food and not too expensive. Also very relaxed and attentive service. It made me very happy.

Nice seating out of the wind, with a full view of the beach. Friendly, efficient service. Delicious mocktails and solid food. Had a great evening.

Dog-friendly. Friendly staff. Wheelchair accessible. The food is excellent. A great stop to end the day after a day at the beach. Also good for lunch.

Nice weather, they arranged that well. The food was good, generous portions. Service friendly and fast. Service good. There are signs saying 'Dogs on a leash' as ​​you approach. Despite this, a dog bit a waitress in the calf. I hope this gentleman offered his heartfelt apologies.

Had a nice lunch, friendly staff, beautiful location.

Great location and friendly service.

Our favorite beach pavilion – everything tastes so delicious here, and the view of the sea is the icing on the cake! We highly recommend the Juttersblank, enough for two people and absolutely delicious... We love coming back here again and again!

Had a great time with my wife and kids

Nice place to sit and excellent food.

Delicious food right on the beach, prices are reasonable and service is good.

Had a delicious lunch at Zee en Zoo. Always good quality.

Beautiful location right on the beach and delicious food.

Lovely beach pavilion, not too crowded, friendly staff and delicious food, a beautiful beach, spacious and fantastic for walking the dog all year round.

Very good food and great atmosphere. I recommend it.

A very nice beach pavilion and the service team is very friendly. We had a lovely time there and the prices are absolutely reasonable.

I had an average burger. Location on the beach, beautiful view.

The food here is absolutely delicious and the price is reasonable for the portion size. Super friendly staff. I'd come back anytime 😊

Beautiful place, very friendly staff and fast service.

Atmospheric, good service, and above all, fast and good food. Accessible by bike and a beautiful beach experience.

Had a delicious meal, nice, clean place, friendly staff, and right on the beach. Great!

A beautiful beach, and there's a restaurant nearby if you get thirsty or hungry...

Had a delicious meal, great service. Advice: go for dinner before 6:00 PM on a beach day; if you arrive later, you have to wait for a table to become available.

It's lovely here – it costs a bit more than in Callantsoog, but the location justifies it, the staff is incredibly friendly, service is quick, and the restrooms are clean.

Located right by the sea, it's a very nice place to linger.

Everything has been beautifully restored and the buildings have been given wonderful new purposes.

The lemonade was made solely from syrup and water; neither fresh berries nor lavender were used for decoration, and the supposed berry-lavender flavor was nowhere to be found except on the menu 👎 Then there was the Greek yogurt... a few spoonfuls of some kind of yogurt in a glass with a splash of syrup and a few cereal pieces on top, that's it. Taste-wise, it had nothing to do with what you get in Greece 👎

Really nice, had never been there before. Good food, fun atmosphere, and plenty of staff. Yeah, definitely worth doing once!!

Great view, good food, fast service, very friendly, definitely recommended.

Great location. Superb view, lovely seating. The food was good, and the service was very friendly when it arrived. We would definitely have ordered another drink or two if we'd had the chance.

The food is good, and the combination with the beach is very nice. The service is very flexible, and the staff are friendly and helpful. However, it can get very crowded at certain times.

Fantastic food and drinks. You'll melt at this location.

Best coffee in the region, only manipulative questions after you've already been sitting in your chair recovering for 3 minutes. That is truly unappetizing. Just say "do you want to order something else, otherwise get lost now." Then you're being honest.

Had a delicious meal by the sea in Petten. Friendly, nice menu.

You'll have a wonderful time at Zee en Zo!! There is also ample parking.

What a lovely beach bar! Surprising, flavorful dishes, and clearly prepared with fresh ingredients. The vegetables were deliciously cooked, and the dishes were on the table quickly. There was plenty of attention for the children as well, making everyone feel welcome, thanks in part to the sufficient and hospitable staff. A perfect place to enjoy good food, a relaxed atmosphere, and welcoming service. Highly recommended!

Good food, good location, friendly staff. It can't be better.

Always a nice place to unwind ☀️ Ps: you shouldn't miss the beachcomber's board 😋

Very friendly, cozy, and really good service. I had coffee this morning, even though the place wasn't actually open, but the nice man saw us called out, "Go ahead, come on in for a cup!" Top notch there.

Nice food,good service, selection of drinks and good menu for snack or lunch.

Extensive lunch menu with something for everyone. Lunch tip: the 12 o'clock special. See photo.

I simply love it there, we've been going there for 15 years.
