Brasserie Zuiderzoet in Wijk 00

Over a week ago, we reserved a table for four people to treat family members to a lovely dinner. Upon arrival, we were told we could only choose from a few dishes on the "lunch menu." The reason: staff shortages. What a disgrace that Zuiderzoet didn't have the courage to inform people who had made reservations and had driven almost two hours to get there. And that the otherwise friendly and well-meaning staff should be allowed to convey that message. This restaurant really should take that to heart! The food was okay, but the price-quality ratio is skewed.

We've often dined at Zuiderzoet and Paul's team in the past. Everything was always top-notch. The atmosphere, outdoor terrace, kitchen, staff (expertise), and dishes were all distinctive compared to other offerings at Eemhof. Now, the restaurant is often closed, the terrace lacks atmosphere and is certainly not inviting, let alone that the dishes are no longer distinctive. It's the same as at the park. For such a prime location by the harbor, it's a disgrace. Fortunately, the Beachclub is increasingly filling the void.

What an incredibly awful restaurant! We went there to have a sandwich for lunch. Unfortunately, they didn't have any sandwiches on the menu, citing their luxury restaurant as the reason, so we ordered a portion of kibbeling (fried kibbeling) for each of us. A few minutes later, however, a whole plate of bread was served at another table. We received five of the six portions of kibbeling and were told the sixth would be brought out shortly. Five of us started eating (to avoid it getting cold). We had to do this with our hands, as we weren't provided with cutlery. There were also no napkins to clean our hands. When we finished our food and asked about the sixth portion, we were told they were gone. Salmon was offered as an alternative, but since five of us had already finished our food, we simply asked for the bill. In my opinion, they could have informed us earlier that the kibbeling was gone, and we could have chosen something else to eat together. We were given the bill without a word, and after paying, we left. No apology was given, and we weren't accommodated. An incredibly bad experience, and we won't be back!

The staff was friendly, the tables and chairs were a bit close together, but the food was very tasty!

The atmosphere is nice, but the restaurant itself is a bit less so. We waited an hour and a half for our food, and we had to get our own sandwiches (starter). No cutlery came with the food, and they even forgot a few fries! After our glasses were empty, we weren't even asked if we wanted another drink. It was resolved nicely afterward. Let's put it this way: a lot of room for improvement, but otherwise, it's okay!

Absolutely fantastic experience! We were staying at Center Parcs and looking for a good place to eat - this one exceeded all our expectations. We went with the chef’s 3-course menu featuring fish, steak, and crème brûlée, and every single dish was spot-on. The flavors, presentation, and service were all excellent. Highly recommended!

I give this a 7 out of 10. The food was tasty and the setting good. There are still some points for improvement... The staff was quite inexperienced, too bad. - We all ordered an aperitif: no snack, not even chips or nuts... - The bottle of wine was already brought to taste with the aperitif... - When clearing the starters they asked if we wanted the menu for a main course, but that had already been ordered... - The starter was cleared...of 3 people...the plate of the 4th person just remained there and was only cleared 10 minutes later (coincidentally)... - The food was tasty, but I expected more for the price. - 1 of the 4 starters was beef Tataki, where the toughest piece of meat possible was used. On a small plate (nice presentation) it was impossible to cut, even with a steak knife.... - The other 3 starters (Tuna tataki, cheese croquettes and calamari) were tasty, but the portions of the tatakis were on the very small side. - As a main course 2x poké bowl and 2x fried salmon. The poké bowls were very tasty. We asked for 1 salmon less fried and that was done well. The puree we asked for with it was also very tasty. Only downside: no sauce with it. - The crème brulée was well made. Tasty. - The Irish Coffee was not made as it should be (too much whipped cream and no sugar used in making it) - 7 out of 10, I can't give more here. Again, it was mostly good. Now work on those few lesser points and then it is definitely worth an 8 or 9.

Worthless. First the reservation was moved and when we just arrived we were almost looked away/completely ignored

Very disappointed. It looked so nice in the pictures and it also said that the little guests were also thought of, so I thought this would be a nice restaurant for me and my son (5). When we arrived, there was hardly anyone there. Everyone was sitting at the nearby beach bar. It looked cozy inside with nicely set tables, so we sat down anyway, because we had also made a reservation. The children's menu is very very limited. Only pasta or fried food. They wanted to make mini pancakes (that was nice), but then my son had already chosen kibbeling. However, the kibbeling was so bizarrely salty that he couldn't really eat it. We only got an "sorry" from the staff. No new kibbeling, no alternative, nothing! The soles were tasty. I've had better, but fine.

Ate here with 11 people, friendly service and all the food neatly on our table at the same time. Nice presentation of the plates and good quality food. Recommended!

Delicious food! Both the adult menus and the children's menus were very tasty. Beautifully presented. The children's menus were really children's menus in terms of size. Perfect! Gluten-free options were also available. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

It is a fine place to go for a bite to eat but you can't call it dining. The decor is not up to par and the quality of the food is not either. The bidding is friendly.

We had dinner here one evening during our weekend at Centerparcs. It was very tasty for a reasonable price. The food was especially tasty and everyone enjoyed it. There were also enough options for everyone. Especially with the restaurants on the park, this restaurant is a breath of fresh air and a must for anyone staying at the park. A no-brainer if you ask me.

Cancelled on my reservation the first time but we did manage to go a few days later and thought it was great.

The reason I booked Centerparcs Eemhof is partly because I could eat well with you. It is an added value compared to other Centerparcs. Service was great and the food was also tasty

Service is friendly and helpful! Food is great for the price you pay for it. Presentation of everything is a big 10! Beautiful plates and garnish. Compared to the restaurants in the park itself, this gets 5 stars. Compared to all other restaurants I know in this price range 3.5 stars, so that's why a 4 :) We had a nice meal 2 nights in a row! I did miss a steak and fish knife. Filleting a sole and cutting steak would be a bit easier with that.

Waiters were very friendly and the food was really very tasty. Everything came quickly. Had a 4 course menu. Carpaccio, cauliflower soup (chef recommendation), steak and then a desert (cherry, don't remember what it's called)

Had a great meal tonight, but still left the table feeling like I was screwed. Make sure you are well informed about the price and what is included or not. Especially if you order the plank of southern sweet.

It was a delicious meal with a lovely dessert.

Good tastes overall good but the portion size are to expensive for that what you got in the end

Made a reservation for a dinner for 9 people on April 30 from 7 p.m. On the evening itself it turned out that the kitchen closed at 8 pm!!?? Not a word was said about it when making the reservation, weeks before -🤨 - and when I called to ask if that was the case, they claimed that there was enough time to have a quiet dinner.:??-->..in 1 hour..9 people,..complete dining...sitting comfortably. It was our 40th wedding anniversary and we were looking forward to it!! This was completely ruined. No apologies or decent compensation either, just "Okay, then I'll take your reservation out"..really..🙄 In Harderwijk we had something to eat and sat on a terrace. Our friends have gone home. What a letdown this 'service' at Zuiderzoet, -->>>>I would expect a bit of thinking along with the booking here. All in all, very disappointing, and even worse... our moment is gone, over! Zuiderzoet has acquired a sour, bitter aftertaste for us. Bah!

Was super! Prachtig uitzicht over de haven, vriendelijke medewerkers en heerlijk gegeten. Vooral de bouillabaisse vonden wij een aanrader.

Was great! Beautiful view over the harbour, friendly staff and delicious food. We especially recommended the bouillabaisse.

No idea why anyone would have anything negative to say. Very cozy and relaxed atmosphere, delicious food, quick and attentive service. I wanted to take a picture of my moelleux, but it was so tasty that it was gone before the picture was taken.

Next to the harbour. Nice location to enjoy the maritiem atmosphere.

high prices, poor quality. Restaurant is also lacking in appropriate decoration. Menu is all over the place. Would advise not to spend your money here.

The idea behind this restaurant is quite lost. The prices are pretentious, the service / decoration / service level but especially the quality of the food does not match this. In addition, the range of dishes is confusing, they try to offer ''a little bit of everything'', but this misses the mark in our opinion. We eat out very regularly, but this restaurant will stay with us for a long time. Unfortunately not for the right reason.

Carpaccio was dry and without sauce, tournedo was good, but I never received the side dish. As a result, no dessert was ordered. Nice staff. And beautiful location.

Food and service very good, atmosphere can be improved

Extremely comfortable dining. Shared dining concept with dishes from the area and beyond. Definitely recommended!

Very tasty apple pie, cappuccino and chocolate milk! Enjoy sitting on the quiet terrace in the spring sun. The service was nice and the toilets clean. Definitely recommended! It's expensive, but that's all in this park...

Delicious food, friendly service, and kid-proof! Highly recommended for every family.

Wonderful place to charge your ebike battery and have something to eat. Young but good and attentive staff. Fast service and long opening hours. Top!

Delicious food. Atmosphere and service are absolutely fine. The location is beautiful.

We hebben heerlijk gegeten. Alles was gewoon goed en prima verzorgd en vriendelijk personeel. Het is ook heel gezellig ingericht.

We have been coming to Zuiderzoet once a year since it opened. Even though the website and Google state otherwise, we were not welcome for lunch. The kitchen brigade was too busy preparing for the evening, according to the young host who shared this with little empathy.

Had a wonderful evening, children received a coloring page to keep busy. Service is very good and so is the food.

Net terug van deze tent wat een deceptie, Het liep letterlijk in de soep.. Wij moesten ruim 20 minuten wachten voordat ons werd gevraagd of wij wat wouden drinken. Dit terwijl de tent drie kwart leeg was en ze met ruim 10 man rondliepen. Eenmaal aan het hoofdgerecht gekomen schonken ze de vis bouillon over de steak ipv over de Bouillabaise. Excuses werd gemaakt door het jonge onervaren personeel, met een belofte dat er zo snel mogelijk een nieuwe Steak aankwam. Dat duurde ongeveer zo’n 15 minuten, die medium rare was besteld.. Helaas was deze nog helemaal rauw van binnen. Na het melden, aangegeven dat we er klaar mee waren. Waarop de manager zich niet durfde te vertonen en een van zijn onervaren personeelslid liet opdraaien voor de excuses. Dit was wel de laatste keer voor dat geld. Jammer maar hier komen wij nooit meer!!

Kijk, er kan natuurlijk altijd iets verkeerd gaan, maar fout op fout en dan een paar jongelui het laten oplossen terwijl de “manager” op de achtergrond is waanzin. Prima tent om op een zomerse dag een paar bitterballen te eten maar verder is het niet meer wat het vroeger was. Het grootste probleem, sturing in alles. Een niet bekwame manager. Spijtig.

Just got back from this tent, what a deception, Things literally went to hell... We had to wait more than 20 minutes before we were asked if we wanted something to drink. This while the tent was three quarters empty and there were more than 10 people walking around. Once they got to the main course, they poured the fish stock over the steak instead of the Bouillabaise. An apology was made by the young inexperienced staff, with a promise that a new Steak would arrive as soon as possible. That took about 15 minutes, the medium rare was ordered. Unfortunately, it was still completely raw on the inside. After reporting, we indicated that we were done with it. The manager did not dare to show up and had one of his inexperienced staff members pay for the excuses. This was the last time for that money. Too bad, but we will never come here again!!

This is a true "hidden gem", the menu is diverse and a nice mix of traditional dishes such as carpaccio and tomato soup alternated with delicious fresh meat and fish dishes, sirloin steak, sushi, a pokebowl or a delicious bouillabaisse. The host is passionate, friendly and knowledgeable, just like the staff. An absolute must for anyone who likes service, fresh and delicious food.

Very nice and high quality restaurant. Modern and comfortably furnished. The food is relatively expensive, but the quality is appropriate and everyone enjoyed it very much.

Missed opportunity with a view! Very expensive for Hamburger Zuiderzoet. 1 slice (!) of bacon costs €2. Bun hard and dry.

Thank you for the pleasant evening. Very friendly service. Very good quality/quantity/price ratio of the dishes. The tapas platter for 2 people and the penne pesto chicken/scampi are highly recommended. Quiet location. Definitely worth it.

Heerlijk gegeten, gezellig tentje met super lekker eten. Vriendelijk personeel. Zeker een aanrader als je op de Eemhof verblijft

Delicious food, cozy tent with super tasty food. Friendly staff. Definitely recommended if you stay at the Eemhof

Party location used for a party. Nice place and helpful and nice staff.

Unfortunately I didn't enjoy it. Burgers were tasteless. Shame.

We had dinner here with a toddler and a baby. Compared to the hysterical Center Parcs restaurant, this was a breath of fresh air. Quiet atmosphere, even though it was full. Sufficient food at a normal price. Children's menu also very reasonable price. Highly recommended

Enough service, everyone super hospitable and alert. Very nice and cozy restaurant, you get the feeling that you are away from the crowds of the Eemhof (where restaurants score very poorly). In terms of food, it was tasty, but a bit disappointing. Cheese croquettes to start with were on the lukewarm side. I had presa, I found it a bit disappointing. I expected slightly juicier meat. Was served without fries, but the fries I ordered were a lot. Creme brulee was tasty but very thin. Banana split sundae was large and delicious, although I expected chocolate sauce instead of caramel-coffee type sauce. Decaf cappuccino was very tasty.

A lot of effort has been put into creating a more luxurious look to this restaurant. You also notice this in the prices. Unfortunately, for me the product choice lags behind. The restaurant has a focus on the sea, where with calamaris I really expect fresh squid and not ready-made...

Nothing special. Please pay attention to the B.L.T. sandwich on their menu. The menu states what you get with an order of BLT. Bread, Lettuce and Tomato... Dear, sweet southern sweet menu maker-typist; BLT stands for BACON LETTUCE and TOMATO.

Everything was really great! Food was tasty, service was nice, view was beautiful and the interior was clean, 5 stars!! This is highly recommended to eat.

Apple pie cold not fresh frozen shame!!

The food was very good and so was the service. If there's going to be a meal in Center Park, it's here. Our entrecôte, salmon poke bowl, fish and side dishes were excellent.

What a wonderful meal the six of us had! Everything was neatly laid out and there was a glass everywhere because I had ordered prosecco online ahead of time as a surprise for my table companions. The restaurant is light, but still cozy. Friendly staff! And we had all the 6 delicious food!! Compliment and highly recommended.

Restaurant Zuiderzoet bezocht: Lekker eten; maar bediening was helemaal niet zo denderend. Apéritief: we vroegen Campari Orange: "is dat met Jus d'Orange", kregen we als vraag!(?) Het eten: Holstein steak blue, en de ober kent de uitdrukking "blue" niet (is basiskennis!) De wijn (Pinot noir 30 euro /fles, toch niet de goedkoopste vind ik, dus we verwachtten wel dat er dan een voorproef wordt gegeven), werd in een gesloten fles op tafel gezet; zonder voorproeven, zonder uitschenken. Dat moesten we , als klant, zelf doen. Ook de andere drank werd niet uitgeschonken; Na het eten, bestelden we een koffie met een shot amaretto, 2 latté's en ik niets. Bij het brengen van het gevraagde, kreeg mijn man koffie en ik een glas amaretto! er werd niet gevraagd wie wat moest hebben; echt beneden alle peil.

What a worthless mess. According to reports and inquiries, dogs are allowed. Until you are turned away at the door in a very customer-unfriendly manner…

Spacious restaurant with a view of the marina. The service was smooth and friendly. There is a varied menu with quite a few fish dishes, which somehow feels appropriate for a restaurant on the water. The sole was on the small side (but well prepared).

Had a drink there with my family.

What a nice restaurant. We were even welcome with the dog, baby (8 months) and a 4-year-old child. All the staff were friendly and helpful and took plenty of time for us. The food was also delicious! We don't live nearby otherwise we would certainly have come there more often.

Wonderful place. Warm and friendly staff.

Had a wedding, service quality is top notch

Been for the first time, looks nice. Friendly staff.

Very nice staff, very tasty food. This is how you can have a good time on vacation. 🤗

Maybe it's time to do something here, looks luxurious, but was disappointing, staff not good

The food was bad, greasy, little taste.

very expensive not clean little choice. is not open to feedback.

A business with a lot of potential, but unfortunately it is not being used. We have eaten here a few times now and the food has been great every time! Unfortunately, stock management is downright dramatic, you don't have to count on the poke bowl with salmon, it is almost structurally impossible to order and unfortunately several dishes cannot be ordered every time. Zuiderzoet has 3 types of white wine on the menu, only 1 of which can also be ordered. The service does not seem very experienced and therefore the experience is unfortunately not what it should be for such a beautiful business. I really hope that the business can take steps forward, the potential is there!

Visited Zuiderzoet again after a long time. Is (was?) known as a restaurant with a price tag, but with good quality dishes. Unfortunately we had a disappointing experience. I will mention two examples. 1. Carpaccio without salt or pepper, meat came from the freezer and was too thick for carpaccio. You could also have gotten it in the supermarket. Not okay. 2. Fries had clearly been fried twice: color too dark, very greasy and overcooked. We reported this to the waiter, who later indicated that the chef agreed with our analysis. ....And when paying, a portion of fries was added to the bill (which we had taken off). The service was fine: correct and friendly. That wasn't the issue. We won't be back here anytime soon. Shame.

Fantastic food and excellent service. Really enjoyable meal and evening. A suggestion woukd be to publish allergy and meal nutrition info (eg carbs). This would really help those individuals with T1 diabetes.

Food was excellent and inexpensive. Our ordered food was served in a short time. Service was very friendly and helpful. Restaurant location is ideal for a nice walk afterwards.

New owner since April 2024. Unfortunately, nothing remains. Kitchen that refuses to take allergies into account. Fixed staff who make no effort. By the way, they are also excellent substitutes, so it can be very friendly! Bremzoute Bouillabaisse, which doesn't come close to what was served before. I understand that eel is expensive, but in this starter the price was really disproportionate to the small piece of eel. Tacos too little flavor. Squid rings good, but from the freezer and not home made. And the draft beer (just Heineken) came from a bottle without explanation in the middle of high season... A shame, because it was really good here.

To end the holiday, the four of us had dinner here. The menu is extensive and because we like everything it takes a little longer to make a choice. We chose a very varied choice, mainly with many fish dishes, but also pasta Burrata. The latter was made with a very tasty mozzarella, not one of those cow's milk balls from the supermarket. The other dishes were also delicious. It tasted fresh, it was beautifully served, delicious. The service was friendly and took the time for us. If we come to the Zuidlob again, we will definitely come back here.

Very friendly staff, nice location and delicious food. Top!

Not cheap, but very nice No separate lunch menu

One evening everything was great, except of course the price-performance ratio. that is rather mediocre 2 days later very arbitrary service. the food is good that's why we came back

We were there for the last time today. The service was subpar, an older gentleman made an effort, the rest made us feel like we were a nuisance. I don't even want to mention all the other inconveniences. It's a shame, it should be our highlight at the end of our vacation.

Great here... houseboat in the center park, everything your heart desires

Bedienend personeel was erg aardig en correct, eten was Kwalitatief Uitermate Teleurstellend. Van de Thai Beef salade waren het vlees en de gamba’s te lang gebakken en was de groente meer een soepje, de Portabello’s helaas hetzelfde verhaal…. Helaas een restaurant bij een vakantiepark waar alternatieven meer dan 10km verder weg gezocht moeten worden….

Honestly the nicest restaurant in Eemhof.. Very classy and clean. The atmosphere of the restaurant is so laid back and not rushed, which I like. I like to enjoy my time in a place while eating out instead of being rushed, since I'm on a holiday I like the fact I am in a place where they aren't too pushy about my orders. service was incredible, price of food is reasonable since other restaurants in Center Park are more expensive than Zuiderzoet. Honestly, no complaints.

Great restaurant. Delicious food with good service and nice view of the harbor.

The food was good but cold. The waiter was very unfriendly.

Had lunch here with a large group of family of 15 people and it went quite smoothly. Friendly staff and the food arrived at the table almost at the same time. I personally had a hamburger with fries, although the taste was fine, I thought it was a bit poor in terms of presentation. A table companion had a salad with grilled vegetables and that was also very tasty. I didn't think it was very special, which is why I think it's a bit on the pricey side. The view with all the boats is very nice.

Als gezin met volwassen kinderen hebben we op het overdekte terras aan de haven plaats genomen voor koffie en een ijscoupe. Van de dessert kaart hebben we alle vier genoten van de verschillende desserts. Prijs kwaliteitverhouding is prima. Bediening vriendelijk en meedenkend.

The food was really inedible, tough old meat and fish could hardly be removed from the bone. Before serving, stand under a heat lamp for at least 10 minutes, which dries out even the vegetables completely. Staff was friendly and resolved the issue neatly. But it was extremely disappointing.

Unfortunately not so convincing They don't have some things that are on the menu and the prices are really steep.

Freelancers warned! This company makes you wait a long time for your money and ignores reminders! Does not keep appointments. Forewarned counts for 2

Presentation good, the pasta was partly undercooked. Not cooked properly (loosened during cooking) when the service indicates this to the kitchen, the cook says that it is done... such a shame that the cook does not simply say that it is indeed not good Not fun for the colleague and certainly not for me as a guest. Once the chef understands how it works, he will come to the table himself... But no, then he could have explained it to me... Prices don't lie, so the price-quality ratio is not in proportion to this Service very friendly.

We regularly visited Zuiderzoet under the previous owner... it was always great with super tasty food and professional service. A very disappointing experience for us under the new owner. I find the price/quality disproportionate, very small carpaccio for the main price, service not experienced and professional. An empty beer glass was simply taken away without asking if you wanted another one. The restaurant was also very empty, why are you put so close to other people. So many empty places. I also find it very crammed with chairs and tables. In summary… for us this was a disappointing experience, with mediocre food and unprofessional staff. So we won't call it recommended.

We had made a reservation for 6 p.m. on Sunday for 6 people (+ 4 little ones). There were only a few tables occupied in the restaurant. After waiting 30 minutes, someone came to take the order. They forgot to come over for drinks. 1x drinking wrong - 1x eating wrong. Food came after 1 hour. The spaghetti buratta was again lukewarm. Other plates were warm, but the food on them was a bit lukewarm. We didn't even start with dessert and coffee. There was a staff shortage and supplementation with temporary workers. Tip: make the card a lot smaller and be clear when taking orders. If you don't have good staff, it's better not to open.

Food was ok, but way too expensive. Wine was good. Service was really bad, clearly there is no good manager or something like that around. Train your staff, otherwise you can't call yourself an experience. I think the 4.2 score is because the other restaurants on CP are really 10 times worse.

It was delicious food there in beautiful surroundings.

Het 21 diner van mijn dochter met de familie gevierd bij ZuiderZoet. Dit was fantastisch. Betere keuze hadden we niet kunnen maken. Heerlijk eten, leuk personeel en een mooie ambiance.

Celebrated my daughter's 21st dinner with the family at ZuiderZoet. This was fantastic. We couldn't have made a better choice. Delicious food, nice staff and a nice ambiance.

The service rose one star because a gentleman took the trouble to follow up on things we had complaints about. That's commendable, other than that people walked around like headless chickens and let him do everything. There were also people behind the bar who literally had something in their hands once. They initially radiate flair and quality, but they only half live up to that. We were proven right about a lot of things (which were not our concern). But when we said that a lady said that she was new (in English) and said that they were all freelancers... and we were surprised. She thought “it will be fine”. The gentleman gave us a free glass of wine. Very nice. But when my mother wanted earl gray tea... it wasn't there. So the questions are simple but the answers are complicated. So if you radiate something and you can't make it happen... don't do it! The chefs have done a good job, but the staff has a lot to learn. But if you work freelance in a catering establishment, your heart is not in it! At least not with these people. Sorry but not again unfortunately.

In potentie een mooi restaurant maar wat een teleurstelling! We verblijven een weekend bij center Parcs de Eemhof. Vanwege de recensies en de veelbelovende menukaart waren veelbelovend. De bestelde fles wijs werd op tafel gekwakt. Proeven en eerste glas inschenken hoorde er blijkbaar niet bij. We bestelden een verrassingsplank met z’n tweeën als voorgerecht. Ook dit werd zonder uitleg op tafel gezet. We zijn zelf maar op onderzoek uit gegaan via de menukaart online want uitleg kregen we niet. Hoofdgerecht was smaakloos en de champignonsaus was saus waarvan we de smaak niet konden thuisbrengen. Dessert hebben we maar overgeslagen. Ik snap dat je jeugd in de bediening wilt hebben staan om de kosten te drukken maar zorg dat wel dat je mensen aanneemt die affiniteit hebben met horeca. Zonde!

Half the place empty but are simply refused because there is no room.

Was empty. Look nice. We were the only ones at 5pm,

Nicely renovated, it's a pity that the decoration is cold. No table pieces/menu or other decoration on the tables looks bare/cold. This makes it very lacking in atmosphere...shame!
