Café Moeke in Landelijk Gebied

Very unpleasant restaurant. I worked there for a while and the owner was very aggressive, impatient, and even physical.

The daily special was a bit disappointing: osobuco with spaghetti. The taste was good, but there was very little meat on the bone; a few pieces, the rest was fat. The hamburgers and steak from the others at the table were very good, though. The atmosphere was pleasant, but the staff was disorganized; we were served by multiple people.

Had a drink and a small lunch dish. It was great and the staff was friendly.

We sat outside and had a nice meal. But the wasps really liked the mussels, too. A bit of a shame.

I thought I'd make it a Thai evening with Thon kha Kai and Thai mussels. The soup was okay, but the mussels, while good in themselves, had nothing to do with Thailand.

I had a lovely lunch here. The food was delicious and I didn't have to wait long. The interior of the restaurant is very beautiful and atmospheric, and there is a cozy terrace outside. The staff was very nice and polite.

The staff is super friendly and welcoming; they create a good atmosphere. The food was very pleasant and delicious. My toasted sandwich had a perfect balance of bread, ham, and cheese, and it all came together into a tender, typical toasted sandwich. I definitely recommend this restaurant/cafe and will undoubtedly be coming back here more often.

A nice "old-fashioned" atmosphere with good food

Had a fantastic meal! The chicken was exquisite and the service was so sweet and friendly. We would love to come back here soon!

I go there regularly. It's very cozy. But I notice that the food is becoming a bit simpler. Less refined. But it's still good, and I keep coming back.

Had a delicious meal with five ladies, excellent service, and we will definitely be back again.

Had a reasonably good meal, and the staff was very friendly. The terrace looks neat too!

A great stopping place along the provincial road: cyclists, walkers, and motorists stop here for lunch or coffee. Like an old-fashioned inn, but equipped with all modern conveniences.

What rude service, except for one person who pointed out a freer and more pleasant table to us. Taking the order was very uninterested. Food and coffee were thrown onto the table. Very few fries with the mussels for two people, and we had to pay extra. The extra salad we paid for consisted of 2 slices of tomato, 3 lettuce leaves, and 2 pieces of egg. When we asked if everything was in order, we voiced our comments, and this was not appreciated. Some staff training seems necessary.

Lovely café and restaurant! Reservations are recommended for groups!

Always good: good food (the daily special; be sure to arrive on time or they'll be gone), good service, and a great atmosphere.

We ate here fairly regularly. Until, at some point, it wasn't possible to eat inside, even though there were people eating inside and plenty of tables, yet they insisted that we sit outside otherwise they would lose track of things. Now they've lost a customer….

Excellent restaurant in a great location by the main road and the cycle path. I appreciate the large parking lot and the spacious terrace, where you can sit comfortably. The menu is wide and everyone will definitely find something to their liking. As a nice bonus, we received free bread with excellent spread and oil. The food was perfectly seasoned, fresh and very tasty. The service was smiling, helpful and nice, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We will definitely be back and I can only recommend it.

Had a delicious meal, really nice service

Ideal stop during a bike ride. Nice terrace at the edge of the forest.

Nice place to have a drink on the terrace in good weather. Unfortunately, the experience with the staff was very mixed. One lady was very friendly, but another was a real sourpuss, to say the least.

We were not the cup of tea of the waitresses. And that was made very clear. Regulars were treated very friendly though. The sandwiches were adequate and the coffee was good.

Honestly, I've had some of the best meals of my life in this place. I tried four different dishes, and each one was absolutely incredible. The flavors were so unique and perfectly balanced. It's definitely a must-visit if you're looking for amazing food. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu!

We had a lovely meal outside on the terrace and still managed to get a table even though we hadn't reserved.

Wonderful place. Great staff. Good food

What a terribly rude waitress. Totally unsuitable for the hospitality industry

Delicious food and very affordable. Cozy and the feel of a traditional pub. Very friendly staff. We will be going back soon!

Moeke is always fun. Good food, the daily special is very well priced too.

Delicious food and a cozy atmosphere!

I have visited this place several times. Today, the service was below par! No atmosphere, no feeling of being welcome, and the charcuterie board was too simple! Meanwhile, there was a lot of shuffling of chairs. I didn't experience anything special. I haven't experienced anything like it before.

Recalling an old memory was fun.

De food was amazing but they had no kids menu

Beautiful location and the young staff also pay attention when you want to order something, which is different at other establishments, so I highly recommend Moeke.

What rude service! We were going for lunch with 6 people, but it was already too much to ask just to clean the table covered in bird poop. After asking a few times, a rude young man came over and, with some grumpiness, proceeded to work on the table in such a way that the coffee, which had just been served, sloshed out of the cup and onto the table. After complaining, he eventually went to get a new cup. I went inside to complain, but was met with an earful from the rude young man and the (apparently) owner as well, who also made it clear that they couldn't spend the whole day cleaning tables! What worthless service, arrogant staff. In the end, we just went to eat somewhere else where the service was friendly and service-oriented. Absolutely not recommended!

There was a very cozy atmosphere and delicious food. The service was also good and fast.

I recently visited this restaurant and my experience was very positive. The service was good: the staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt welcome. The atmosphere in the restaurant was also pleasant and cozy, which contributed to a relaxed evening. Additionally, the food was of good quality. The dishes were prepared with flavor and beautifully presented. All in all, a nice place to eat, where the service, atmosphere, and food are all fine. Definitely recommended!

Great Moeke just like in Blaricum. Old-fashioned coziness and friendliness, top-notch.

Nice and cozy with my mother for a drink. The atmosphere is a bit lacking, but the staff was friendly.

Truly a 5-star cafe; nice atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

First, went for a walk with the dog in the Zwarte Berg hiking area. Afterwards, had drinks and snacks at Café Moeke. An atmospheric and cozy café/restaurant. Nice spaces with seating areas, prompt and good service. You feel welcome, even with a dog.

An atmospheric café with attentive and friendly service, and the food was of excellent quality. Highly recommended.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely place! Café Moeke has a super cozy, authentic atmosphere where you feel welcome immediately. Had a delicious meal, good portions, and friendly service. It's really the kind of place where you want to hang around for another drink. We will definitely be back! 🙌🍻

Had delicious chicken. It was busy on a weekday evening, so make a reservation.

Went with some friends for dinner and was not disappointed. The service was amazing and the restaurant looks awesome . All the dishes we ordered where delicious and the desserts to die for . Can't wait to go again when I visit the area .

This time, we went vegetarian. We started with onion soup and had a complicated vegetarian dish for the main course. Everything was delicious and carefully prepared. The atmosphere was pleasant, and, very importantly, our dog was welcome.

Delicious food, compliments to the kitchen, but... You do feel ignored by the staff and have to wait a long time for them to come by... as if they don't really want to sell... If you bring the feeling of being ignored to the attention of the staff, they talk you down... unfortunately, but the food was delicious and the location is beautiful.

Nice place. Friendly and helpful staff. All very young, though. Good menu selection. The food was delicious.

What a wonderful place yesterday (Sunday) it was extremely busy and yet everyone was so nice, the owners have very friendly people... everything under control... the chicken tasted excellent, such a wonderful Sunday spent with grandma

We were there on a busy Sunday. The friendly young blonde waitress helped us nicely. The food was fine. I just found it inappropriate that the lady, I suspect the owner, snapped at her staff in front of the guests. This could be done differently; they're doing their best with all the crowds.

For those using Hollande Rading station as the starting or ending point for a walk, this is a great place to refuel. We didn't eat here, so I can't comment on that.

Arrogant service. I received very unusual service. I see several people have left bad reviews due to the condescending behavior of the female server. I should have known this sooner, unfortunately. Very disappointing. Simply unfriendly.

A very welcoming café and restaurant with typical Dutch dishes like mashed potatoes or meatball sandwiches. Friendly staff!

Attentive and friendly service, relaxed atmosphere, varied menu, very good food!

Had a great lunch with very friendly service in a charming, traditional Dutch café. Ample free parking.

Café Moeke is an excellent place to stop anytime, whether for dinner, lunch, or just a cup of coffee or tea. The place exudes coziness and hospitality. The decor is charmingly old-fashioned, and the Persian rugs complete the look beautifully. The steak is highly recommended. For lunch, we opted for the onion soup (highly recommended), the carpaccio sandwich (also delicious), and the meatball with gravy and bread. The latter was a bit disappointing; the meatball and the gravy were a bit cold and not quite what you'd expect from a homemade meatball.

The food wasn't great, it almost blew off my plate. My order was also delivered incorrectly three times, and it kept getting worse by the time it was returned. Kudos for the atmosphere.

Friendly service, good food. A bit noisy though. Quite pricey, especially the starters.

A great place to dine. Special dietary requirements were accommodated very well.

A unique experience (negative!!) The service was terrible; we were completely drunk, and the table next to us, with three people, was served regularly. We were completely ignored. After almost an hour, I walked to the bar, very irritated, to ask if it was still possible to order something because there was no other way to contact us (although we were asked to see the menu when clearing the table). The bread as a starter was fine, but the main course: steak, was terrible. First, we weren't asked how we wanted our steak cooked. Then it was overcooked, completely tasteless, and extremely tough. When clearing the table, we were (naturally) not asked if we enjoyed it. The dessert was also very mediocre. The white wine tasted a bit like gasoline. And, true to form, we weren't asked once if we wanted another drink. This evening is definitely in my top 5 of worst restaurant experiences; Congratulations!! I've eaten here several times (10-15 times) and had good experiences. But this one makes me never come back, and I strongly advise anyone who asks or suggests going based on this very sad experience against it. How quickly an evening can be ruined? Congratulations again!!

Had a delicious dinner from start to finish

It's always a pleasant experience with Petra and her team. We always enjoy delicious food here. The menu is varied and includes a wide selection, as well as specials. The Spandershoeve dish is also delicious, highly recommended.

A nice "old-fashioned" atmosphere with delicious food

Old-fashioned cafe, beer and bitterbal. I love it.

Excellent lunch. Very pleasant and friendly service.

Only had coffee, but enjoyed the decor of the place.

Still excellent food for relatively little money!

Lovely terrace, easy parking, woods and heathland nearby for walking. Good menu, not too expensive. Inside, a nice traditional Dutch café setting. In short, highly recommended!

My dad wanted to eat here for a 'mossel pannetje', he loved it. The ' biefstuk ' I had was a fairly tough piece of meat. We had a good meal together.

I ate at Moeke with a friend. It's a traditional restaurant with a Dutch flair. Free parking is available, and you can dine indoors or outdoors. I ordered an "uitsmijter" (fried eggs with bacon). Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy it because the bacon was burnt. I reported it, and the waiter reacted rather coldly. This is a shame. My friend had a tuna sandwich, and she enjoyed it. Wheelchairs are no problem.

It felt like stepping back into your grandmother's time. We had a delicious lunch with mussels!

Had lunch here with my wife during a nice ride in the Beetle. We stopped here for lunch. My wife was pregnant and had gestational diabetes, and they were incredibly thoughtful about making sure she could eat everything safely. Fantastic!

We were looking for a place to eat near the Lagevuursche climbing forest for our company outing. After a quick search online, we quickly found Cafe Moeke in Hollandsche Rading and made a reservation. Upon arrival, we received a warm welcome and were able to sit outside. The service seemed a bit stiff at first, but after a pleasant chat, the ice was broken and everything went smoothly. The food was delicious, and there was a good break between the starter and main course. The location was very pleasant. Sincerely, Jeremy Kroonsberg

Great place with nice and especially cheerful service👌

I finished one Chouffe. The atmosphere is nice. The service wasn't. Maybe I was having a bad day. I had ordered my drink. My wife wanted to check it out. The drink was served, and you'd expect someone to ask if the lady knew what she was doing, but nothing. 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes. My Chouffe was good but almost gone. Still no one came to ask if the lady wanted a drink. The three of them were chatting behind the counter. When I went to pay, I was asked, "One beer, is that right?" 😅 Yes, that's right. Then I went to De Rading, a minute away. It was excellent there.

The three of us went to dinner last night. It was a bit busier, but not exactly crazy. You can't get in touch with the staff. They don't even look around. We asked three times for a bread board. Finally, someone came to say it was still in the oven... even though we'd already seen three bread boards go by, including at tables that arrived later. Very strange. The food was very tasty, but a bit meager. The bill, on the other hand, was quite generous. Unfortunately, for us, it wasn't anything to write home about.

We unexpectedly dined at Moeke without a reservation. It was so nice that there was room for six. The food was delicious, the service was great, especially Brechtje, who was such a sweetheart. She was humorous and attentive. She came over to wish us a pleasant evening, as her shift was over. You don't see that very often.

Moeke Spijkstra in Blaricum has been a favorite of mine for 45 years, and the concept is still truly amazing. A few years ago, I also visited Café Moeke (on the border of Hilversum and Maartensdijk), but only for a drink. This summer, a good friend invited me for lunch, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. Traditional pub-style food and drinks. It was lovely on the sunny terrace (it took some getting used to the traffic, but that's alright). Inside at the bar, I struck up a conversation with a waitress, whom I surprised with my enormous number of Google views as an "elderly influencer." She could hardly believe it, and I said, "Just wait and see!" (That took a few months, but here I am!). The interior (here too) has a unique and nostalgic atmosphere, full of curiosities that make many a foodie's mouth water, and that certainly applies to everything that comes out of the kitchen. In short, highly recommended. With "Dutch" coziness high on the agenda. English version: You may not realize the real 'Dutch Brown Café' has been for ages a historical and cultural aspect of social daily life in the Netherlands. (Compare it to the 'English Pub'). One of the true greatest examples of this is Café Moeke Spijkstra in Blaricum which has been popular since ages until today. A 'younger' sister/brother (okay, 'family member') is Café Moeke in the village of Maartensdijk border of City of Hilversum. All the curiosities & bric a brac from times gone will bring back in nostalgic athmospheres. What a (as we say it in Dutch, 'cosy atmosphere'). The lady in service couldn't believe I had over 13 million views on Google maps and said I was a true 'ancient reviewer' she never had heard anything like it and I promised her just wait and see! (it early spring April 2025 and it took me till late summer but Voila!) If in the neighborhood you must get a taste of Café Moeke and tell back home you now know all about the life in a Dutch Brown Café. (including persian tapestry (old Dutch tradition) on the tables!)

Very pleasant service, partly in English again. We had a delicious, old-fashioned satay.

Excellent local food, meat and mussels, beautiful restaurant

My fish dish was fine, but the steak I enjoyed was overcooked. We apologized for this, and the special coffee we ordered was on the house. That was handled very well.

We had lunch there the other day. The restaurant is lovely, qaint, with a real Dutch feel both in decor and menu offer. The place is rich in history be in operation since over 100 years. Lunch served is well prepared and served with a big smile from the waitress.

We enjoyed a lovely meal on the terrace, the staff were friendly, the drinks were ice-cold, and the two delicious, fresh lunch dishes were served.

Beautiful location. Excellent food. Good menu. I love coming here and often sit here with customers. But beware. When it gets busier (nice weather, holidays, weekends), everything is a bit less. Simply because they don't seem to be able to get things right. (I know it's hard to find and keep staff.) The first phone call didn't work. They forgot they'd called... And then I just wanted to make a reservation and asked for a table with shade. The answer was: "There's shade inside if you want it..." (yes, then we had to hang up). Once we arrived, it was very quiet (20% capacity)... I don't understand where the phone calls came from.

We had a lovely lunch again, as always.

Moeke denkt dat ze er wel zijn, maar er komen steeds meer klachten, Personeel is een drama, arrogant en onbekwaam. Eten is matig, duur en kleine porties. ik zeg niet doen.

Very bad. We reserved a table, but there wasn't enough room inside. So, seven of us were put at a table for four. The hamburger was served black. The Liège waffles were served half-heartedly, and the waffle was also very salty and limp.

The cozy terrace, and the interior feels like Moeke's old-fashioned living room. The food was delicious: the chicken actually turned out to be a whole chicken! It's a great way to share the experience. Highly recommended!

Top restaurant.. had a delicious steak, butter-tender.. excellent service.. no complaints.. highly recommended.

Had a wonderful meal on the terrace, enjoying Zeeland mussels. Cozy cafe with a lovely terrace and good parking. Inside, there's so much to see, including antique artifacts—too many to list.

Very nice weather with an excellent price-quality ratio

Delicious food. Tasty, basic dishes. No frills. Very friendly staff too! Highly recommended!

Cozy cafe/restaurant. We had a delicious meal and enjoyed it.

Great place, good food, nice terrace. Tip: the beef satay is delicious.

Good atmosphere, good food, good beer

Food: we got fish (tuna) twice that was out of date. On the third attempt we got sea bass. Was a bit more edible but had the same texture as rubber. Didn't get a discount on our food despite it being 1 hour late… Service: Waiters were ok… Management is arrogant. Atmosphere: you're sitting along an n-road…

Cosy outside despite the noise of engines and cars

The apple cinnamon pie is delicious and the coffee is good.

Had a really nice evening. Great food and very friendly staff!

Super service. The staff really does their best. But the kitchen is really not good. The chef (owner) is seriously arrogant and apparently does not realize that we as customers pay his salary. Super badly prepared meat. Not even okay the 2nd time. When we spoke to the chef about it, we were told that it was our taste. Ridiculous. We will never eat here again.

Cozy and very friendly service. Service and the chefs had a nice pace. We were allowed to choose a table ourselves. 1 small comment the spread with the sandwiches is quite little or too much bread!!
