Café‚ Restaurant 'De Driemaster' in Medemblik

Anyone dining here should definitely order the six-course menu. We've been doing it for years and are always extremely satisfied. There are a total of 12 dishes to choose from, which you can select freely from a wide variety of options. In 2026, the price was €32. Fantastic! Keep it up. We'll be back in Pekelharinghaven next week and will definitely stop by again.

In one word: fantastic. We had a delicious meal with a party of 3. Definitely recommended.

A beautiful place for any time of day.

Great, very nice staff and it is very cozy and very tasty food and small bite platters highly recommended and they had a new menu again

The food was excellent. We had the "all you can eat" tapas and were completely satisfied. The service was great and attentive. Air conditioning would be nice on hot days, as the many windows make it quite warm inside.

Well... what can you say about it. The location speaks for itself. At the end of Pekelharinghaven in Medemblik, next to the camper parking lot, restaurant De Driemaster is situated on the first floor of the small harbor building. It is accessed via a steep staircase where the smell of frying hits you halfway up. For those with mobility issues, there is a sort of elevator available on the exact opposite side. As mentioned, the deep-fried food dominates and is the solution for many problems. The staff is uninspiring and doesn't seem very enthusiastic themselves. The concept is simple: all you can eat, with 2 dishes served over 6 rounds. The kitchen needs 25 minutes per round. In other words, the staff is busy trying to generate as much revenue as possible from drinks. The food isn't worth the effort. The photos speak for themselves. In the summer, it is very hot in the restaurant, and given the heaters, it is quite cold in the winter. Just skip this one.

From the outside it might not look immediately attractive, but inside it certainly is, with a great view. And the food is really delicious! Highly recommended.

Had a delicious meal in a very relaxed atmosphere.

Great atmosphere, staff very friendly and a great concept to try different small plate type dishes. Everything we tasted was great quality and really tasty. Absolutely fantastic and highly recommended.

Food was excellent, service was great would go again 😃

Enjoyed a delicious feast. Delicious fresh dishes with great service. It was top-notch!

Celebrated my 60th birthday with 25 people at De Drie Master. Everything was well organized and the food was perfect. Beautiful venue! Compliments to the staff and chefs! 👍

Super fun concept, delicious food, very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Nice place with lots of small bites.

Had a delicious meal with a feast of all kinds of appetizers, something for everyone.

Good atmosphere and top-notch small dishes

Super delicious food, friendly and efficient service

Definitely always worth a visit! We're there every time we stay! Delicious food, friendly staff, and a consistently varied menu!

We sat in the conservatory, which was a bit chilly. The food was delicious. We had the à la carte menu, generous portions, and it was very tasty. We will definitely be back.

Good service and delicious food!

Today we ate at De Driemaster for the first time. The principle was familiar: ordering one or two dishes at a time, and then alternating between them. While I find the presentation of the dishes rather dull at some restaurants (with every dish another red onion ring and a curly lettuce leaf that looked suspiciously similar to the one from the previous dish), I found the variety here surprisingly varied. Every dish was a surprise and well-presented. The flavors were also delicious! The service staff was also very friendly and efficient! The overall atmosphere in the restaurant is pleasantly cozy and relaxed. There's plenty of space around the tables, so you don't have to listen to your neighbor's story. All in all, a very pleasant and delicious experience, highly recommended!

A cozy restaurant at the harbor of Medemblik. Suitable for larger groups thanks to its multiple rooms.

Delicious food and exceptionally friendly staff. A top-notch restaurant, and you wouldn't know it from the outside.

Highly recommended! We really had an incredibly delicious meal. A cozy, old-fashioned, warm atmosphere instead of all that trendy fuss you see so much these days. Lots of choices on the 'Smulllerij' menu, which you can tick yourself on a sheet of paper. You can then place this on its side on the table, and the staff will come and collect it. This allows you to take your time to look at what you want and eat at your own pace. The dishes are delicious without excessive fuss on your plate. They took my allergies into account very well; I have experienced this differently very often. Friendly, cheerful, and helpful service. Good chefs. Compliments to the entire team. We will definitely be back soon. We would love to eat all those delicious dishes from this menu at your place again.

The food was fantastic. A really cool concept. And the service was incredibly friendly! Highly recommended!

Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The service was adequate, but the food was definitely not worth the price. The portions were tiny. At that price, I would have preferred to go to a proper, decent restaurant. I consider it to be "fast food" in disguise. The food is mediocre.

I have not had such a tasty meal in a long time, compliments to the chef and the composition of the menu.

Delicious food, fast service, cozy atmosphere. Definitely recommended.

Had a delicious meal from the feast. Tummy full.

Good quality, really tasty and fast

Second time we come with our young kids and dog. Great tapas menu for EUR 36.50 of great quality having Dutch, Asian, and International choices. Menu is rich. Here are some images of what we had. (Had already some of my beef teriyaki)

I highly recommend this place. We had a delicious meal there with the family.

Food was great! Tapas style all you can eat for 39 euros for adults and 2 euros per year of child, really price worthy and lovely food! Marine style decorations, simple, classic and homey. Only point I would say is that it took us a while to understand the ordering system, maybe this could be improved but it was all in all wonderful and I would definitely recommend it as it was a nice change to the other restaurants around and not excessively expensive. Service was friendly and fast as well 👍

The food here is fantastic! The salads are incredibly fresh, and the flavor combinations are delicious. The service is very friendly. Highly recommended!

Dear Cafe: I left my grey raincoat at the bar June 8th while I was sailing with the Mare Fan Frysian bike tour. Could you please send it to me in the USA? It was a gift and means a lot to me. My address is: Anthony Ladd, 120 Creekview Circle, Carrboro, NC, 27510, USA. Thanks so much and I will happy to reimburse you for your trouble. --Anthony

The food here is pretty good but the atmosphere and the way everything looks leaves much to be desired. Also my plate and cutlery were dirty.

The young lady who was serving didn't know much about it and didn't bother to walk around the table to serve the food. Everything across the table, between people. The atmosphere is more canteen-like than restaurant-worthy. And then 60 euros pp is actually quite expensive.

A nice restaurant with delicious food. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but the portions aren't too large.

Very tasty food! The restaurant looks a bit old-fashioned, the all you can eat concept is not very hip in the execution (checking on an A4 sheet, laminated menu) but the restaurant always looks full. And I understand that, because I haven't eaten so well in a long time! Be careful with the chef! 😉

A very nice restaurant with super delicious food. We'll be happy to come back.

We really liked the idea of ​​the many small dishes. Everything was freshly prepared and delicious. A good selection of drinks and friendly service rounded off the evening. Thank you very much :)

Top restaurant, tasty food and good service.

Wonderfully varied with a nice choice of tasty dishes.

Delicious food, highly recommended! Dishes beautifully prepared and piece Each piece has a delicious taste. We will definitely come back when we are in the area.

Cozy restaurant, good food and friendly service

Enjoyed the "Smullerij". We were with a large group, it was nice that the orders were placed in sub-groups.

Had delicious unlimited snacks tonight. Enough choice and good quality. Nice and correct service.

Ate here for the first time, we are from the area and had never heard of the restaurant, let alone eaten here After reading all the positive references we decided to eat anyway and opted for the tasty treat (unlimited food for 32.50) The arrival was very unpleasant. When we entered, we were not welcomed but had to wait and the staff looked at us sheepishly and eventually we spoke to a waitress. eventually a table (we had reserved) The waitress had no idea what beer they had and she had never heard of draft beer. we ordered the first dish fish fillet with sauce The result was very poor. The fish was chock full of bones. After returning it, we received the comment that it is not possible to serve the following fish fillet without bones. Very strange because the fillet is without bones The waitress also came to the table and crossed off a dish from the menu, it was gone ??? Then my wife ordered chicory, unfortunately it was also gone for the rest we just chose something that was of reasonable quality conclusion: this was the first and last time for us There are plenty of better and nicer restaurants in Medemblik where you can eat well for the same amount

Personally, I understand little (nothing) of the quite good reviews. The food is mediocre (to say the least) The atmosphere is mainly determined by a penetrating smell from the kitchen. People are friendly, but as far as I'm concerned no more than that. Recommended, No Not recommended, yes actually Walk a few steps and you'll find significantly better.

We had a wonderful Christmas brunch with 8 adults and 4 little ones on Christmas Day, "Smullerij uit de galley". We sat at a long table, great atmosphere, perfect service and excellent food. In one word, great and compliments to the kitchen and the waiting staff.

Wonderfully tasty and cozy Sweet staff

Delicious food in this restaurant Located on the 1st floor. My wife is disabled. Why doesn't the elevator work there?

Excellent food, very good staff, great service. And the concept of different dishes is definitely recommended.

It took us a little longer to understand the system, but that's due to our age :) But once we understood it, it was extremely good. Everything was freshly prepared, kudos to the kitchen. Service was very nice. It was so good that we were here again a few days later and are more than sad that we don't have anything like that. Absolutely and more than recommended!!! The view is great too

Nice restaurant, nice service and great food. The concept, which I didn't know before, is GREAT👍🏻 and we will definitely come back - it's worth it!

Had a fantastic time! We ate twice in one week during our holiday, so that says something. Delicious food and very friendly staff. Recommended!

Had a delicious meal with husband and children.

Delicious food in the concept of 6 x 2 dishes for 34 euros. Everything is top quality and looks very nice. The service is super friendly and alert, takes the time for you. Beautiful place with a view of the Pekelharinghaven. We sat outside on the terrace. We will definitely come back to taste other dishes.👍👍👍

Nice concept with a tasting. Very nice with the new extension

Pancakes were just factory pancakes; beers were warm; food was cold most of the time, and all of it was mediocre; service was slow; chairs were uncomfortable; spicy chicken wasn't spicy in the slightest. It's was all around a very mediocre experience.

An absolutely recommended restaurant. Everything is just right. The food is simply fantastic and there is definitely something for everyone. The system with around 40 different tapas is brilliant. After 6 courses you are definitely full. The staff is also absolutely competent and leaves nothing to be desired. You can communicate easily with English and German. The ambience is also great and the bar is a real eye-catcher. Parking is also not an issue. No matter whether by car or camper. Table reservations can be easily made on the restaurant's homepage. I would like to thank the entire De Driemaster team for a great evening.

Delicious food. 6 Rounds with small dishes. Something for everyone. It is a cozy restaurant with a good chef and nice service. We have now eaten here for the 5th time in a few years and once again the food was delicious and taken care of down to the last detail. Service super nice and always up for a joke or a joke. Ate here again tonight March 30, 2024. The same again with different small dishes. There were also a few new dishes. Delicious. Conviviality at its best and delicious food. 29-06-2024. It remains simply delicious to eat here. Once again there were new dishes, adapted to the summer. It was fun again and the food was good. Until next time.

Very tasty meal. Various delicious small dishes from the "smullerij" menu. Enjoy it piece by piece! Highly recommended.

Super cozy, nice service and delicious food. We will definitely come back.

A cozy restaurant with good service and delicious food

The food was excellent, the service was great!

Nice food, nice and pleasant drinks. The dining concept is fun and excellent in terms of price/quality. Nice place to sit with a group of 14 people.

Delicious food and enjoyment with colleagues. Per round we ordered 2 dishes from the Smulllerij from the galley of De Driemaster.

Spontaneously had a snack. Upon arrival we were greeted kindly. Because we weren't very hungry, we did a starter tasting for 2. Very tasty and many different small snacks. Another surprise dessert to end and also very tasty. The donut and chocolate ball are not completely fresh, but the ice cream is certainly tasty, and with nice fresh fruit.

Invited to a party in a private atmosphere, delicious food from the buffet 👍 smooth and friendly service. Highly recommended to visit the three-master. Top team.

Great restaurant, delicious food and wonderful staff, highly recommended

Delicious food and super nice staff!

We had such a delicious meal on February 14.

Once again a very tasty meal, something for everyone, so highly recommended!! Friendly and fast service in a cozy atmosphere. Actually only two points of criticism that have nothing to do with the food: the sanitary facilities definitely need to be expanded (!) and arriving or departing guests regularly have to pass a hedge of smoking people on the stairs at the entrance. This also needs some attention in my opinion. Nevertheless, see you next time!

Very good service and very friendly staff. Definitely recommended and will definitely eat there more often. Tiptop Top

Delicious food here! Tasty dishes and super nice staff. We lacked nothing!

Delicious food and lots of variety

What a great place to eat with friends and family but of course also with the kids!! Nice service and a great kitchen with different snacks, we really enjoyed it, thank you very much for the great experience and the delicious food. See you soon!! I give you a big 10

On Wednesday, November 29, we had a delicious meal with good friend Wil. We had tomato soup as a starter and hake fillet as a main course. All we can say is that it was delicious. Very pleasant meal in a very hospitable environment. Thank you to all employees of De Driemaster restaurant.

The dishes from the Smullerij from the Galley were delicious. We had a pleasant evening and were served friendly and quickly.

A very nice restaurant, but we were there at the wrong time, it was like a company party for Ah, so it was busy and then it took a while until the next course, but there have been more fantastic food and service.

Delicious food and what friendly service.

In terms of review, this is a difficult one. We know the concept from various other restaurants and now know that they all turn out to be slightly better in terms of dishes. It is slightly more refined in the taste experience or in the presentation. The temperature of the dishes was also inconsistent and quickly lukewarm. Is it "bad" at the "Three Master"? No. Certainly not. I can imagine that many people absolutely love this restaurant. Especially considering the price. The location is of course good and the staff is extremely friendly, but sometimes a bit too fast in clearing the table. But it is certainly not due to friendliness. It is already a bit dated (in the extension) and it gets quite chilly these days when the terrace door to the outside is always opened when smokers have to go outside. We were just a bit unlucky on the trip? In summary, this is quite satisfactory, with some areas for improvement here and there. Genuine advice: Try to take the presentation to a slightly higher level. E.g. by using slightly more modern plates and bowls and paying more attention to the layout of the individual dishes without immediately increasing the price. Some prawn crackers or a piece of fresh fruit or herbs can quickly go a long way. Also keep a close eye on the temperature and everything will be fine here. Goodluck!

The food was super tasty and of high quality and home made. I always think it's very nice when you wait a while for the food, it means that it's freshly prepared and you can taste it. The lady from the service spoke great German and was very friendly and funny. In addition, the location with the view of the harbor and IJsselmeer is of course great. We enjoyed the stay very much. Thanks to the team. ...we made reservations again straight away.

Lekker eten. A la carte of soort tapas

Konden het restaurant nog niet. Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar. Mooi uitzicht op de haven. Lekkere variatie tussen de tapas hapjes. Niet een te grote menukaart daarvan, maar maakt de keuze juist wat overzichtelijker . Dessert was super ,en zou je er zo meer van opkunnen! Wij komen zeker een keer terug.

Heel gezellig goed en veel eten en héél fijne bediening. Aanrader. Wij hebben de proeverij gedaan en het kon niet op.

wir haben nur etwas getrunken. das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend

Leuke bediening, heerlijk eten met uitzicht op de haven.

Sehr lecker! Frischer Fisch, nette und höfliche Bedienung, unser Hund war willkommen - und bestes Salatdressing ever! Nicht teuer, absolut angemessen.

Super lekker eten, lekker afwisselend

Prachtige aankleding van het restaurant, vriendelijke service en de gerechten zijn erg lekker. Je hebt prachtig uitzicht over de haven.

Kann ich empfehlen. Zum Preis von 33€ kann man 6 Runden a zwei Tapas bestellen. Die Bestellungen werden rundenweise auf dem Zettel eingetragen und frisch zubereitet serviert. Die Tapas sind schmackhaft und großteils zu empfehlen. Der Service war einwandfrei, allerdings waren wir zu viert an einem Wochentag mit relativ wenigen Gästen dort. Man sitzt dort recht großzügig und die Raumakustik ist angenehm. Als Foto habe ich den Bestellzettel beigefügt.

Wij hebben er met 6 personen heerlijk gegeten. Maar goed dat we van te voren hebben gereserveerd, anders was er geen vrije tafel geweest. Bij aankomst buiten dachten we dat we een teleurstelling hadden gereserveerd. Niks bleek minder waar: eenmaal binnen was het een leuk restaurant met een heerlijke tapas formule en gezellige bediening! Zeker een aanrader!!

Geweldige kaart prachtige gerechtjes en vriendelijk personeel. Nadeel een trap op. Op aanvraag kunnen ze een lift naar beneden doen

Sehr zu empfehlen, wir haben Tapas gegessen, sehr gut und sehr freundliche Inhaber. Jeder Zeit wieder.

Wat een fantastisch restaurant is dit! Vanaf de buitenkant verwacht je helemaal niet dat er zo'n leuke en gezellige ambiance te verwachten is. Maar het is meer dan de moeite waard! Heerlijk gegeten en ontzettend vriendelijk personeel. We hebben een super leuke en smaakvolle avond gehad. Zeker de moeite waard om nog eens terug te keren!!

Heerlijke gerechten, goede service, vriendelijk personeel Een aanrader

Heerlijk kerst diner gehad met de kids

Mooi en netjes. Heerlijk bereid. Mooie porties. Iedere gerecht voor hoofd, na 2 kleine gerechtjes voor €29.95 per persoon. Vriendelijke dame die je komt helpen om je een keuze te maken. Nette zaak. En niet te druk
