Boerderij Meyendel in Wijk 00 Zuidwestelijk deel der gemeente

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.

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.

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

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.

Very generous portions! It was huuugeeee! You get a lot for the price. We had the hunter's meal and the bread with eggs, both would have fed the both of us. The bacon is salty. The fries were nice. All in all we enjoy our time here after a long hike.

Just picked up this delicious summer salad and am thoroughly enjoying the calm and quaint experience this Pannenkoekenboerderij always provides. I’ve been coming here for years, with the children and as a secret escape on my own. It’s always such a treat and the people are super friendly and genuine. Extra insiders tip: check out the back terrace which can be less busy at times. This place is dog-friendly and is a wonderful destination for the whole family, all year round.

Nostalgic place. Mostly elderly, but otherwise not nostalgic either 😁

Delicious pancakes eaten on the terrace. Well arranged now that the relaxations have not yet been completely completed. On the rear terrace you can sit in the sun out of the wind. Definitely recommended to have something to eat here after walking.

Delicious food. Friendly staff. Beautiful terrace.

It's always cozy at Meyendel Farm. A wide selection of pancakes. Self-service restaurant.

Great food for a great price in a lovely location for walking and playing for kids (e.g. Monkey Forest within walking distance)

Beautiful nature reserve! Delicious, hearty food (just like eating right from the farm), lots of fun play areas for kids nearby, and a delicious selection of beers. And all at a reasonable price. We'll definitely be back!

In the middle of nature! Fabulous, fragrant crepes, super-large salads, great prices. Beautiful!

I want to say something about the cheese pancakes: they put them cheese-side down in the pan, which makes the cheese crispy. Delicious! Never seen that before in a pancake restaurant. To address common complaints in other reviews: - It wasn't particularly busy on a sunny day around lunchtime. Self-service ran smoothly, and the pancakes were ready in no time. - The pancake was simply delicious, not chewy or hard, and there was a generous amount of toppings. - The price/quality ratio was excellent. For such a prime location, you might expect slightly higher prices, but I didn't find it outrageous. - There were indeed a lot of wasps. That unfortunately makes the meal a bit less relaxing, but certainly not a deal-breaker for me. And I don't think there's much you can do about it. If you really can't stand them, be warned.

Great, cozy place. I can't believe it was so sparsely populated. The fries were delicious, but I had to search for "my" nectar for ages. Finally found my Duvel, probably popular 😎

Awesome delicious 😘😘😘💋💋💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

This is the only location in the area, but I don't get the feeling that there is a catering industry here. They are not really interested. And service is hard to find. 3 stars for the location then

Cozy pancake house, self-service, large design, food was very tasty

Another trip to Meijedel on Friday ;)

A walk through The Hague and the dunes, with a peaceful setting at the Meijendel Farm restaurant. A cozy place where you can relax and enjoy yourself with a "home" feeling. Simply wonderfully relaxing and affordable 😋

Warning: it's teeming with wasps (early August). If you have children who are afraid of wasps, or if you're afraid of them yourself, I wouldn't recommend eating here. You'll be constantly harassed by wasps, both inside and outside. The food is good, though, which is to be expected considering the price.

What a pleasant experience and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Good value for money.

A nice self-service restaurant. There's also a beer garden. Across the street is a large playground.

If you are looking for a quiet place this is the right choice

It's wonderful to be able to enjoy a fairly extensive lunch restaurant in beautiful Meyendel. The location is fantastic. I've been there many times, but this was the first time I ate there. It was busy, but not packed, last Sunday. Where it was, however, was at the very cramped self-service counter. It felt uncomfortable, being crammed together in the queue. If you're going to use self-service, try a La Place; it's much more open and spacious there. When I brought pancakes to the terrace, they were greeted even more enthusiastically by the wasps than by my daughter. I quickly fled inside. I think the topping on the pancakes was store-bought and not homemade, but it was tasty—a generous amount, too—but the pancakes themselves weren't that tasty. A bit tough, slightly overcooked, and even difficult to cut. The sandwiches and salads looked good, but I can't comment on them. Afterward, you had to take your plates to a clearing counter yourself. There, another encounter with the wasps awaited. Inside, it certainly wasn't spotless, but at the clearing counter, it was even a bit dirty. Understandable, because the wasps made everyone want to throw away the plates as quickly as possible and leave immediately. Given the beautiful location, I understand it's a popular spot. But no, it really isn't.

Beautiful spot in the middle of the dunes. Otherwise, well-maintained, not luxurious or fancy.

The staff is very friendly and the terrace behind it is a wonderful place to be. I think the owner has everything well organised.

Beautiful location in the middle of the forest. Pancakes are on the expensive side. The staff sometimes forget to give you your toppings and put the glass jars (which contain things like cherries or whipped cream) on top of your pancake. Not very hygienic.

Great food and service. Highly recommend taking a bike there!

Always busy and lively. I saw delicious things to eat and snack on. It was hard to stay away.

De pannenkoeken waren echt slecht. Geen smaak aan en droog. De zelfbediening is het concept maar de tafels kunnen toch wel schoon zijn lijkt me. Het personeel is meer in elkaar dan ïn de frisheid van de tafels geïnteresseerd.

Too bad it's self-service. It does have a nice terrace, though.

The bacon omelette was fantastic, usually you only get a few pieces but this was formidable.

Great place with a good variety of Dutch pancakes, located right in the middle of the dunes. The only drawback is the number of wasps, which can make eating outside a bit stressful

Nice place for coffee after a walk or bike ride or a visit to the visitor center.

Wonderful location, experience, and price! a hidden gem 💎

Very nice place to have a drink and a bite to eat after a walk in the dunes. Top!!

We used to come here. Now my birthday party food held here. Delicious veggie burger and fries. And the others also liked the pancakes.

Cozy atmosphere, delicious pancakes and friendly staff

A very nice place to linger, with delicious food. It's partially wheelchair accessible. You have to serve yourself. Dishes, glasses, etc., aren't cleared away. It's unclear what the server at the drop-off station is doing. She was playing on her cell phone the entire time and didn't touch a single plate during the time we were there (1.5 hours). Just her phone.

Nice to have a cup of coffee or eat pancakes in the middle of the dunes

The most delicious asparagus soup ever.

Cozy dated pancake farm. The dated is also the charm. Casual atmosphere. Delicious fries!!!

What an excellent place to go with a group to walk, see, play, eat. Food is also excellent and the price is good. Staff friendly. Especialmente Yaneth who helped us well. Nice place to repeat.

It’s a unique place in the middle of the du e, family place, trans generation and social mixture! Easy going you can go for a full meal or just a drink, self service it generally fast!

It is self service but nicely in the middle of nature. In terms of sound it really depends on when you get there

Delicious food! Especially the hunter's meal is recommended!! Especially if you have taken a long walk!!

Unfortunately really bad bitterballen. Too long in the fryer and there is no meat in it

Always busy and service too slow.

My god, we ordered bitterballen, empty and sputtering in the grease for too long. Nice staff, I think the kitchen had lost its way 🎾

45min waiting for someone to put soup to a cup

Very kind warmhearted people that go out of their way to give you extra and make you feel appreciated.

Nice to settle down there, inside or outside.

Nice tent, but you often have to queue during famous holiday days. Maybe it's time to introduce patio service. But they probably think it's more important to put the guest in line. Could be different, but apparently they don't see it.

Beautiful and very pleasant place!!

Nice to use something here. Self-service. At the price.

The food was reasonable, but the grumpy service, ladies who criticize the customers in front of the same customers and if you indicate that you do not like this, the staff starts talking about it out loud among themselves.......... Dear owner: maybe invest in a number of meetings about social skills and customer friendliness? No next time for us!

Cozy and great for a pancake. Try ginger cheese. To enjoy

I personally think pancakes at the pancake house in Panbos are better. I had a pancake bacon with apple, where the apple pieces were just thrown on it and it looked like it was from a can? Otherwise, very nice surroundings and your order was made quickly.

It was a self-service terrace, I think it was cozy. The pastries were delicious and the atmosphere was friendly

Had a lovely lunch in the sun 🌞

40 minutes in line to order and another 15 minutes waiting for the food

Standing in line for 20 minutes for a drink! 30 minutes if you want to eat anything. Real? Bad system, self-service... Clearing tables goes poorly. Loafers as staff. Too bad, the place is so nice. This could be much better...

Atmospheric and quiet place in the middle of the dunes to relax after a nice walk, bike ride or run through the dunes. Now in March a Walhalla of singing birds. All sorts of things flying around. Recommended! Easily accessible by bike, foot or car (limited access).

The food is disappointing. And taking it easy is not an option. What a noise around you!

Delicious pancakes, cozy terrace, friendly service

A household name for anyone who visits Meijendel. A beautiful place in a ditto environment, especially when you can take a seat on the terrace in the bright sunshine - like yesterday. The fact that you can have two 0.0's with two small bags of chips for ten euros is actually quite good. Enjoying, after a morning of exercise and an afternoon of walking the dog. But still, people. We have been coming here for years. And always - when the sun shines even for a moment - it is packed. Resulting in a ridiculously long queue in the far too cramped self-service restaurant. Always again. We all stand in it, because we can't go anywhere else. This restaurant - known for its otherwise excellent pancakes - gets away with a completely customer- and turnover-unfriendly outdated concept, simply because it has no competitors and is in a top location. But if you always let customers wait in line for 20-30 for something as simple as two beers and some chips, you really leave something behind and you raise the question of whether you are really interested in your customer and your turnover. Sure, it saves wait staff. But then… Our analysis: with a better / different and especially faster formula we would have had a second beer, maybe eaten a little more and / or we would have made room for the next guests even faster. And oh yes, how important service and service provision are, you often notice in the toilet: as here too. No toilet paper, broken hand dryers and crumpled towels used several times outside the toilet area. Too bad. It did give us a nice conversation, all this, there on that nice terrace in the sun. That's true.

Eating facility in walking area. Nice place to have a drink indoors or outdoors, whether or not in combination with a walk through the nature reserve. Big enough for many people, your pet is welcome. The menu includes pancakes, croquette sandwiches, bouncers, etc., various drinks and also free taps with fruit water. Prices are in line with catering standards. I thought the quality of the food was reasonable. Ordering is done via self-service, you will receive a buzzer. My croquette sandwich consisted of a croquette and a simple sandwich that was taken on the spot from a bag of bread. I thought that was a bit unexpected and too expensive for what it was. The pancake didn't seem fully cooked on the inside...hence the slightly lower score for food. But don't let that stop you from enjoying the sun or the fireplace :)

Dramatische slechte service. Gigantisch lange rij, overal mopperende mensen. Ondernemer heeft het absoluut niet in de hand…

A lot of children, a bland pancake for 10 euros, more than one hour of waiting for it. And diluted with water topics. Disgusting

An extremely long wait for a dull hamburger, a soggy bun with wilted lettuce. Way too expensive for what it is.

Takes forever- even with self service. 0 excuses for a baguette hummus to take 45 minutes. DO NOT VISIT BRING YOUR OWN BAGUETTE

Food was fine.. Very busy under the spring sun. Long wait for the food. They won't deliver it... That's really not service. You have to pay for the toilet. That's not even necessary at McDonalds!

Phew. The wait for food was very long. Tables outside dirty. We were finally able to get food. Is there a fried egg on the (vegetarian) hamburger (they should have mentioned this on the plate at the cash register). We didn't expect there to be an egg on a burger. Then we apologized and sent it back. They were not happy and they had to mention that several times. Then another long wait. (Friend has an egg allergy)

Very busy on a Saturday morning.

Just as expensive as other catering establishments, but it is self-service, the coffee comes from a machine (not tasty and way too strong) and my pancake was not fully cooked.

Beautiful surroundings. Then you feel like having a pancake. But what is served here has nothing to do with a tasty pancake. An instant cake, which is only heated briefly. With apple pieces from a jar on top. Bacon burnt. No service. In short, a very messy catering facility, not a single 'fresh' product to be found. Very unfortunate, will never eat anything again. I would advise everyone against that.
