What a lovely place. Superb service to start with. So well taken care of, and asking with every course if everything is to our liking. And then the food itself; for me, the Steak Bali. Deliciously sliced ​​steak and a (slightly) spicy sauce for a much more reasonable price than at Loetje. And at least just as tasty! Fries and a small salad on the side to finish it off. And then for dessert, the Chocolate Dream, a brownie with white chocolate ice cream. Delicious! The only downside as far as I'm concerned are the artificial plants. But that shouldn't spoil the fun.

We thoroughly enjoyed our motorcycle stop at Brasserie de Halve Maan. We were received very warmly, and tension was quickly broken after a pleasant chat with the staff member. The quality of the food was also very good; the bread was delicious, and the salad served on it looked fresh and vibrant. Even though you are in the Randstad, you still get the feeling of getting away from it all on the cozy terrace of this brasserie. In short, I have added this place as a favorite to Google Maps, and we will certainly be returning here regularly. Highly recommended.

Coming from Amstelveen, we ended up on the terrace of De Halve Maan during our bike ride. What a breath of fresh air; a lovely terrace, and very friendly and attentive service. We ordered a pulled chicken sandwich and a carpaccio sandwich. Both were excellent. However, a small caveat: for the price, just like with the carpaccio, you expect two generously topped sandwiches and not just one; this is very meager indeed. We also ordered a soft serve ice cream. A soft serve ice cream as it should be: deliciously creamy! We enjoyed ourselves and will certainly return in the future.

Lunch was generous, but not really tasty: way too much salad dressing and only a few pieces of chicken. The croquettes weren't crispy enough either. It is best to order a classic fried egg. The decor with plastic plants and flowers is eco-friendly, but not atmospheric. A few regular plants would look better! The staff were friendly, though.

We just went for a cup of coffee and an apple pie after a brisk walk along the Nieuwkoopse Plassen lakes. Highly recommended, both the apple pie and the walk itself. Park at the school, then walk past the cemetery and the Roman Catholic church. Then turn left and cross the bridge on the right at the pencil, or water tower. Keep walking until you reach the lake. Be sure to look around; we saw two kingfishers, two buzzards, several species of herons, and ten thousand of them flying around (maybe a few more or fewer), geese flying overhead, and plenty of waterfowl swimming around. Once back, we stopped next to the church for an apple pie, and instead of coffee, we had hot chocolate. It feels like a cozy, old-fashioned café, and the service is very friendly and efficient. I'll definitely go back. So why not 5 stars? It's simply better, though I don't know how.

January 18, 2025 Visited this restaurant today with my dog. Had a cappuccino here and ate a slice of apple pie. This one was nice and warm, just a pity that the whipped cream ran away. Friendly staff. Nice tent. Dogs welcome, provided they are kept on a leash. Nice location, near Pietje Potlood. Parking a little further away at the local school. If you want to earn more stars, use real whipped cream and not from a spray can from the local supermarket. I don't think this is very professional.

I ordered an XXL high tea box online. At first, I wanted to ask some questions about the order, but they were unreachable by phone (the line is disconnected after the selection menu). I only received a response via email hours later (too late). Track and trace indicated that the box would be delivered at 11:30 AM, but it ended up being 1:30 PM. The sweet treats were fine, but the savory rolls and wraps were far too salty and dripping with sauce. Not recommended!
