Brasserie Intermezzo in Zuid

On a sunny day, we had a nice glass of wine and a bitterball on the terrace. Beautiful location!

We were staying at Landal Miggelenberg and had left for Ouwehands Zoo early. Around 4:00 PM, the seven of us—grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, and three grandchildren—started thinking about where to eat. We had already been to a pancake restaurant, and to be honest, we had the preconception that food at a holiday park is often a bit disappointing. But after a whole day of walking, it is of course very pleasant to be able to eat close to your accommodation. From the zoo, we reserved a table online at MGB de Brasserie. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly and politely escorted to our table. Despite the outside temperature of around 30 degrees, it was wonderfully cool inside. With children aged 8 and 10, making a choice usually takes a while, but that was cleverly resolved here. They were allowed to put together their own meal at the Bollo Buffet and were eager to go there. First, we had to wait a little while until we had finished our bread platter. For my daughter, who has multiple food allergies, it was a bit more complicated. The kitchen took plenty of time to think along with us, and together we arrived at a suitable order. That gave us a lot of confidence. We ordered fish & chips twice (one of which was specially adapted), chicken satay, and for me, the Black Angus beef brisket with onion compote, red wine sauce, and sweet potato. What struck us most was the incredibly friendly and cheerful service. Everyone worked with visible pleasure, and nothing was too much trouble. One small thing went wrong: there was a slice of lemon on the adapted fish & chips after all, even though my daughter is also allergic to fruit. Precisely because the kitchen had thought along so carefully, we almost felt bad about taking it back. But the response was very professional. The waitress was shocked herself, because she was so happy that everything seemed to be arranged well. Within a short time, a new, perfectly adapted plate was on the table. Mistakes can happen anywhere. It is precisely the way they are handled that makes the difference, and that was excellent here. And then the food… My Black Angus beef brisket was truly fantastic. Buttery tender, full of flavor, and without a doubt one of the tastiest dishes I have eaten recently. The rest of the party was also very enthusiastic about the food. For the children, the Bollo Buffet was a hit. They loved being able to choose from all sorts of individual items on a kids' menu. They entertained themselves wonderfully, and as a result, we were able to relax and enjoy the meal ourselves. In short: a huge positive surprise. Friendly service, a kitchen that takes allergies seriously, delicious food, and a great concept for children. We will happily return here next time. It just goes to show that preconceptions aren't always true.

Had a good meal, but quite pricey for what you get. I chose a toasted sandwich with chicken, pesto, and cheese. However, the pesto seemed to come from a jar, and the chicken breast was just the slices you take to work/school on your own sandwich. Tip: use homemade pesto; it's incredibly simple to make and much tastier! Also, use thicker slices of (smoked) chicken breast. That elevates the sandwich. I could have made this toasted sandwich at home for less than 9 euros. Otherwise, the service is fine, and it's a nice place to sit!
