Brainwave in Middenmeer

Stopped by for some wine, snacks and views. Great setting and location, and the wine and food was great!

We had a wonderful evening at Tante Roosje with my father and sister. The staff was friendly and pleasant, and the atmosphere was great. That is precisely why we find it so unfortunate that our evening ended so unpleasantly because of the restroom attendant. I gave her a €2 coin and asked if she could give me change. She indicated that the change was on top of the saucer, while she was sitting downstairs due to the heat. However, after my visit to the restroom, it turned out there was no change at all. When I pointed this out, she suddenly said that “a whole evening costs €5”. When I pointed out that I had only been to the restroom once (at €0.50), she subsequently claimed that I had only given her €0.50. I was truly stunned and even started to doubt myself. Fortunately, my sister was standing right there and could confirm that I had indeed given €2, because she only had €2 coins in her bag. Eventually, with a lot of effort and a rather arrogant attitude, we got our €1.50 back. What makes it even stranger is that my father had already given €2 just before that and said that change wasn't needed. It felt to us as if there was a deliberate attempt to withhold €1.50. Moreover, we were among the first guests of the evening, so there was no rush or confusion. Once again: we are very enthusiastic about the café itself and the rest of the staff. But this experience with the restroom attendant has unfortunately left a bad taste in our mouths. We hope the owner takes this seriously, because this is no way to treat guests.

FANTASTIC BAR cheap beer and EMILIO was the best bartender!

Super cozy, great people, and a great atmosphere. Plenty of space for a drink and darts if you want to get a bit more active.

A very nice, quaint, and cozy pub. We received a very friendly and welcoming welcome and immediately struck up pleasant conversations with the owners and locals. We didn't eat there, and due to the weather, we couldn't use the outdoor terrace by the water.
