Boerderij Meyendel in Wijk 00 Zuidwestelijk deel der gemeente

Nice setting, good food and the staff is knowledgeable about allergens (gluten in our case). They even have gluten free pancakes. Subtracting 1 star for the fact customers need to pay 50 cents to use the restroom. I know that's not uncommon in the Netherlands but that doesn't make it acceptable.

Best bite to eat for a reasonable price. In a very beautiful spot!

A paradise for adults and children alike!

Relaxed atmosphere, good food, friendly staff, but self-service.

How impressive to have been such a cozy place for so long. Moving with the times without compromising on atmosphere and experience. Truly special; for us, it is far away, so we don't come very often. But when we are in the neighborhood...

Nice location in Meyendel and nice interior decor. Unfortunately, it is self-service, which detracts from the atmosphere; you expect friendly service here. The pancake was also very disappointing; it wasn't crispy, and the apple and raisins were all in one heap in the middle. Unfortunately, not worth a repeat visit, what a shame!

Super nice place in a beautiful area! A lot of thought is also put into wheelchair accessibility.

Our ticket got lost so our food never arrived. That can happen, but the staff didn’t know what to do… make our food maybe? They literally said I don’t know how to help you. Eventually we got our money back but are heading home starving.

I once ate a tasty pancake here, but apparently the business operations have changed: rather run-down interior, mediocre clean crockery, staff who would rather work elsewhere, a tasteless and burnt pancake with meager topping, and afterwards a lump in my stomach because it was apparently fried in the cheapest oil :/

A hidden gem in the wilderness! A large, sprawling barn with an extensive menu including pancakes, sandwiches, fish and chips and more. A self-serve restaurant with decent food, cosy vibes inside and a stones throw to the beach. Great for families on a trip out or bikers exploring the dunes.

Tasty pancakes, but a bit pricey.

Highly recommended, especially with your horse.

Beautiful location. Accessible by car, bicycle, and on foot. Beautiful walking routes. Spacious self-service terrace.

When my wife and I want proper Dutch pancakes, it’s our go-to place in The Hague. The pancakes are delicious and at a very reasonable price. When cycling in the dunes, it’s a great place to stop for lunch or brunch.

Despite the terrace being full, the staff prepared the food quickly. Everyone was friendly. We didn't mind the self-service.

Lovely to just relax after the walk, Mr. Jason (the dog).

Quality is declining, could be cleaner Despite the busyness, you are working with food So hygiene must be a top priority.

Very few vegetarian and no vegan options, you can either eat sweet stuff or need to have the one pancake with cheese. They catch all the wasps and drown them in liquid traps. There are better ways to handle that. It's not very sustainable/nature oriented for being in the middle of nature, made me quite sad. The service bar feels like a canteen at work.

Large and cozy terrace in a beautiful setting. Very diverse, but very tasty pancakes!

If you like plane Dutch pancakes (crêpe) they were good. The preperation was below par. The ginger was too sweet and just slapped ontop. But the self serve, ikea stile. I was not impressed. The tables were with dead flowers, the toilets were reasonably clean. The horse paddy was not kept. We would not return for Dutch pancakes just for the park. No picture worthy.

Great food, awful, incompetent staff.

Nice place where you can have a simple lunch with great value for money. Fun for young and old.

Delicious! Self-service, but that is just fine. There are water pitchers and coloring pages for children. Nothing more is needed. The pancakes were tasty and quick.

A very nice place to grab a bite to eat or a drink. Delicious pancakes at a reasonable price. The atmosphere is great; we love coming here. Free parking close to the restaurant is also fantastic.

Cozy and great for devouring a pancake. Try the ginger cheese. Delicious!

If you haven't been to Meyendel yet, consider this your sign to go. Start with a massive stack of pancakes (they have so many options), let the kids go wild in the forest playground, and finish with a quiet walk through the woods and dunes. It’s the absolute best place to unwind with the family

Fine for a bite to eat, especially the fried eggs, pea soup, and some other soups. The coffee is great. The crowds cannot be regulated, so it can sometimes be a bit hectic on weekends and take a little longer.

Nice restaurant, the food was great, especially the pancakes😋

Self-service for drinks, where paying holds up the line unimaginably because only then can the fire food be ordered. Plus, 2 x 0.5 liters of sparkling water are insanely expensive for €5.90. The location is nice, but the rest....

A lovely eatery located in the middle of the Meijendel dunes, boasting authentic Dutch Pannekoeken and Jagersmaal (Pancakes and Hunter's meal), as well as a peaceful and natural atmosphere. Must visit!

A pleasant place to go with the whole family. First play football and games on the field, and then eat pancakes. The staff is friendly and helpful.

First of all, the location looks very cozy. Plenty of seating, also for groups. The food was delicious; I had the pancake with bacon, and according to my girlfriend, the hunter's meal (which has been served for a very long time) was also delicious. The staff is friendly. The only thing ruining the atmosphere inside are the flies (something can be done about that with frequency boxes or other insect repellents), and outside the same goes, but with swarms of bees/wasps! Really awful! Something can be done about that too by hanging wasp/bee traps on the terrace (10 meters away), putting lavender and mint plants on the tables, and placing clove candles or similar items on the tables! That might be an investment, but then customers will come more often. Finally, the toilet. Every good bar ensures that the toilet is clean all day long. We arrived at 10:30 and it was already a watery mess and the toilets were unhygienic. Have a helper check that every hour! It is such a shame because the location and the atmosphere are excellent. The atmosphere and the sense of freshness are ruined by the unhygienic toilet, the flies inside, and the bees/wasps outside.

We ate delicious pancakes. Do keep in mind, however, that it can be very busy here on weekends and public holidays, and that the ramp metering system leaves the barrier down.

Had a delicious meal! The fries are really tasty, and the pancake also tasted good and was generously topped. The pancakes are a bit on the thick side, though; you have to like that. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is cozy.

A lovely place, great service, and good food. A place I would recommend.

The only downside was the service. It's a self-service concept; you order and pick up your food yourself. The food was delicious =)

Charming place. Great service and super cozy.

A really nice place to grab a drink or a bite to eat before or after a walk. Or you can go without walking, of course. It's very convenient that they have a self-service line where you can place your order. For some orders, you get a pager. It's a shame there are no mushrooms for the pancakes.

Lovely break in the middle of the dunes

Beautifully situated, inviting for a stopover on a bike ride from The Hague to Wassenaar or Katwijk. Food is limited but of good quality. Self-service is a good option. Staff come across as distant and uninvolved.

Beautiful surroundings for walking and enjoying nature. Delicious pancakes or snacks. Large terrace.

Self-service I had a pancake with cheese and apples, very tasty 😋

Nice location, self-service. Plenty of choice.

Cozy self-service pancake farm.

A nice and especially beautiful place, with something for everyone. The Jargersmaal is definitely recommended, especially with a large drink to go with it.

Calm and cozy atmosphere. Everything tasted fresh. A great spot to relax and enjoy nature after a walk.

Always busy and friendly service.

The location is great. It's self-service. But the products are tasty and affordable.

I only had a cup of tea there. It is self-service. It looks cozy. You can park for free, and there are fantastic play areas for children and beautiful walking paths.

Nice restaurant, small snacks, self-service.

First a cup of coffee, then a brisk walk. The horses are also hospitable.

Beautiful spot, lovely for a quick stop after or in between walks. Everything is self-service; you have to get it inside. It all goes quite quickly. I found the prices quite steep for self-service: 1 coffee, 1 latte, and 2 pieces of cake €17.50.

A lovely place where you can sit comfortably and enjoy a good meal at a reasonable price. It is self-service, and the staff is friendly and service-oriented. You can order gluten-free pancakes there.

A family friendly spot amidst nature. The food and drinks selection is good and priced reasonable especially for the quantity they serve. The staff is also super friendly. Definitely a great way to spend the weekend walking through the dunes and stopping here for a bite to eat.

I had a very unpleasant experience with an employee here. My girlfriend was walking with a tray full of hot drinks, so I tried to make some room as there was quite a long line for the kitchen blocking the exit. Halfway through, an employee charged at me with two plates in her hand and ordered me to move aside. My girlfriend was still walking behind me with the tray full of hot drinks. Because I was a bit shaken by the aggressive tone, and I didn't want to spill a hot drink on my girlfriend by stepping back, I didn't react immediately. The employee decided to walk right through me anyway and yelled after me asking if I was blind. Unacceptable and disproportionate.

Lovely place to have a cup of coffee after a walk. We had two cappuccinos, which were fine. Afterwards, we both ate a pancake, which neither of us was very enthusiastic about. Quite tasteless (I missed a pinch of salt in the batter) and it certainly could have been cooked a bit longer. We were sitting nicely in the first spring sun, so we ordered two more drinks. The total for all of this was €44. The restaurant operates on a self-service system, which works well in itself. You are given a buzzer when your order is ready for pickup. The toilets could use a mop once during the day, and the outdoor tables could use a wipe down. There are many birds that scavenge for fallen food, and you can see traces of their droppings on the table. Otherwise, a nice place.

Food: if you find yourself exploring Meijendel, this is a great cafe for a quick pit-stop to relax, refresh and unwind before you continue on your journey. They have some nice soups and sandwiches/broodjes. We had the goat cheese baguette and freshly squeezed orange juice and it was very fresh and tasty. Service: it's a fully self-serve place, so you gotta head to the counter to get your food yourself and you can find yourself a table of choice. The food was served very quickly. Atmosphere: since it was a beautiful warm and dry day, we decided to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. It's a wonderful spot to unwind and relax.

Nice location but extremely busy even though it is a self-service restaurant. Offer a separate menu on weekends or busy days and keep it simple. Now the line extending out onto the terrace isn't practical. Why have two cash registers when only one is being used?

The rest stop in the nature reserve was nice; the fries were good, the apple pie was so-so, the environment was pleasant, and the toilets were fairly clean.

A great place to stop for a bite to eat in beautiful surroundings, especially with children. There's a playground outside and a play area inside. The food is delicious. Gluten-free options are available, including pancakes. The staff is friendly. The restrooms are clean. Prices are perfectly reasonable for the Netherlands. The only slight drawback is that all the savory pancakes contain bacon, and the vegetarian options are only available in sweet varieties.

We had lunch here together today. The food was good, plentiful but nothing special. However, the atmosphere makes up for a lot: it is a cozy and atmospheric place and, partly due to the beautiful surroundings, gives a real living room feel. The self-service concept feels a bit impersonal and detracts slightly from the experience. On the other hand, the staff is friendly and helpful, which is certainly a plus. All in all, a nice place to sit for a while and therefore a great location for lunch after, for example, a walk in the Meijendel nature and dune area.

What a shame, we had been looking forward to it so much, but the pancakes weren't as tasty as we had hoped and the price was steep (an average of €11.50 without any extras like whipped cream). The apple had barely seen the pan and the size could have been a bit bigger. The cherries were lukewarm and that pancake was just barely undercooked. You have to go order them yourself, pay, and get a buzzer to go collect your plates. The atmosphere is okay though, and the toilets were reasonably clean. While we were eating, a lady started cleaning the windows with glass cleaner, which resulted in the pungent smell of the product hanging everywhere and the pancakes losing their flavor. If we come here again, it won't be for the pancakes. Free parking, though 😃

Nice restaurant with a great self-service concept. After ordering, you receive a buzzer, after which the order can be picked up quickly. Great pancakes! Also nice: Hague beer available.

Haven't been there in years. It's a shame everything is self-service now. The food and drinks are fine and very tasty! Wide selection. But otherwise, pure nostalgia!

Morning walk from Museum Voorlinden, A lovely stroll through the dunes and ended up here on the terrace via a beautiful detour. Beautiful spot and a location.

We enjoyed delicious apple pie with real whipped cream. The cappuccino could be a bit stronger 😃

LEAVE IT BEHIND! YOU'D BETTER BRING A WELL-STOCKED PICNIC BASKET! ENJOY A WALKING STORE AND EAT AT ONE OF THE VIEWPOINTS. IT SAVES A LOT OF MONEY, DISAPPOINTMENT, AND DIAPHOSPHATES.

Always busy, but great for a stopover with coffee and pancakes.

Busy and a long line before you can order a pancake. You cannot reserve tables and it is difficult to understand each other.

Cozy and well-organized! Beautiful walks

It's self-service, but there's plenty of choice after a lovely walk. A film about the area is shown on a screen, which is fun!

Absolutely zero. A wait of over an hour for crepes. The service is practically nonexistent. The wait time far exceeds the lifespan of the crepes—and probably the entire establishment.

A large, spacious self-service restaurant. A pager is provided. Works well, but queues can be awkward when busy due to large orders! Outside, there's a large patio inside if there's room around the fireplace, which is wonderful. What an unfriendly place: when you're done, you have to leave your dishes at a cart at both the entrance and exit, which is very strange. You're already entering a mess! The staff works there; in our case, two young people in a drafty spot, and the younger one at least two hours non-stop in an unfriendly place where everyone gets in your way. It's unavoidable. Build an extension, or at the back...if this has been going on for years...not a fun holiday job. But the food and surroundings are fantastic.

It's a lovely place to sit and eat. The atmosphere is lovely.

A nice spot for a beer, coffee, or pancake. Can get quite crowded at times. The latter is probably due to the excessive parking in this dune area.

What a wonderful oasis in the middle of the dunes, the pancakes are perfect after a long walk in the east dunes

We went to this historic farm with our 98-year-old aunt for a pancake lunch. We knew it from 50-60 years ago, often going there with our own parents when we were young. The pancakes were dry, except for the bacon and cheese pancake, which wasn't cooked through. The cheese pancake barely tasted of cheese, a shame. Probably some kind of plastic cheese. A pat of butter would have been nice. The self-service staff missed their customer service training, but that's probably what happens with this establishment. The cleaners were friendly. The toilet wasn't exactly fresh. The memory was good, and it was at least 25 degrees Celsius in the restaurant. Good for Aunt Wil. Dishes other than pancakes looked better. The lead time was surprisingly short. We were reprimanded when we threatened to take the wrong pancake from the self-service. Other guests seemed to have had better luck. 3 pancakes, 2 red wines, and 1 cappuccino €52

Cozy. Nice place to grab a bite to eat or a drink after a walk. Always very busy.

Expensive. No service, high prices, everything is self service.

Love the fireplace.. authentic dutch fare in the farmhouse.. Meijendel is an expansive dune area... it's located between The Hague and Wassenaar by the zee ... It is managed by the drinking water company Dunea. It is one of the most significant nature reserves in the Randstad, featuring a diverse mix of forests, dunes, and lakes as well.

Hot chocolate with whipped cream by the fireplace. And that in winter... ;-)

The farm is, of course, in a prime location. After enjoying the outdoors, enjoy some delicious food and drinks. The atmosphere is relaxed, and you can warm up by the fireplace. The only downside, for me, is that you have to bring and collect everything yourself. We'll definitely be back next time.

The food was delicious and definitely not too expensive. Highly recommended.

A nice place to grab a bite to eat or drink while walking. Self-service restaurant. Dogs are welcome.

Five stars for this organization! The service is excellent!

Don't go there, there's plenty of fun to be had in Wassenaar itself. A waste of money. Unless you like reheated pancakes, ordered from a roadside restaurant with terribly antisocial, disinterested staff. It's incredibly expensive; the biggest scam in the entire area. What was once fun has been ruined. Such a shame!

Great pancake place! The toilets are too filthy to describe, but understandable with so many little ones here :-) The bacon could be fried a little longer. The pancake itself tastes a bit too "degerigar" right now: in short, it could also be left in the pan a little longer. We'd love to come back! Soefi also liked the rocket. The seating area by the fireplace was also very cozy, perfect for reading a book. Friendly staff!

We had a very nice lunch, staff extremely unfriendly!

"Fireplace!" That tells you enough, right?

We had some exceptionally delicious pancakes in a beautiful location. It's also well worth visiting the nature park here.

Self-service, ridiculously expensive, and very poor quality. €12.50 for a soggy pancake. This pancake restaurant used to be a great place to enjoy delicious pancakes in the middle of the woods and dunes, with excellent service. Unfortunately, for years it's been a self-service shack where you're treated to ridiculous prices, and everything that comes fresh from the kitchen is terrible. The reason for its existence is that there are no alternatives around the playground and woods. Advice: bring your own picnic basket.

Delicious pancakes 🥞 😋 The place self is part of history by now remaining a beloved destination for young and old for many years.

Delicious food in a nice location

Been coming here for almost 30 years, during a walk or just stopping by for a cup of coffee in nature.

Great place, absolutely fantastic! Just enjoy a pancake and a cup of coffee after a wonderful ride. Cycling, walking, running—it's a truly wonderful area.

Cozy place! So wonderfully decorated, with attention to detail. Beautiful location and free parking.

Delicious pancakes. You have to pick up your own food at the bar, and the times I've been here, it's been busy but pleasant.

No service, half-warm pancakes. But nice for a quick drink. It's gotten too big.

Self service with great food and very nice atmosphere

Cozy location, always busy. Pancakes, fries, and delicious sandwiches. Mostly self-service. Ideal for walking. Ample parking.
