Café Restaurant de Eendracht Blaricum in Blaricum

I had dinner here recently with my parents and it was a very nice evening. Friendly staff who are happy to provide information about the menu and location. The food was very tasty and looked good. Neatly presented plates. The veal shank and Tournedos are especially highly recommended. All in all, a very nice and cozy place with good food!

Prices are tailored to the residents of Blaricum. 22.60 was charged for 2 coffees (served in a glass mug) and an apple pie. 6 stars for the price. You get better service everywhere for this price. So, no more stops at Eendracht in Blaricum for me.

After a lovely walk across the heath, we wanted to have lunch here. Due to the unexpectedly beautiful weather, it was much busier than expected, which unfortunately caused the service to be somewhat chaotic. Our drinks and part of our order took quite a long time to arrive, and we had to chase them up a few times. Eventually, the manager came over to ask what had gone wrong, and it was resolved properly. We understood that the crowds were much larger than expected due to the poor weather forecast. Despite the somewhat messy start, we ultimately sat wonderfully on the terrace in the sun and enjoyed the soup and drinks. We certainly appreciate the way the situation was eventually handled. It can sometimes happen that a business is caught off guard by unexpected crowds, but for us, it is mainly how it is handled that matters.

Although a few things went wrong during our previous visit in the summer, we decided to give this place another chance. This time we came for lunch, and fortunately, that turned out very well. The weather changed as if on command from rainy to delightfully sunny, so we decided to sit outside. We were clearly not the only ones with that idea, as the outdoor tables were soon well-filled. I ordered the vegetarian platter because I had trouble choosing and was in the mood for a variety of bites. That turned out to be a good choice. The platter was generously filled and, as far as we are concerned, is easily suitable for sharing with more than one person. I am not a big fan of goat cheese, but it was replaced with something else without any problem. Moreover, everything was nice and hot. My husband chose the burger with fries. Of course, I kind of stole those fries from him too, because they are exactly how I like them: nice and thick with a crispy skin. Although we were actually quite full already, we couldn't resist the apple pie. I remembered from our previous visit that it is very tasty here. Personally, I don't like cold apple pie, and in my opinion, this one is actually always fresh and definitely not cold. It is worth stopping by here for the apple pie alone, and we will probably do so again soon. I did take a photo of the vegetarian platter, but due to our gluttony, I unfortunately forgot to take a picture of the apple pie. It was on the table and we dug into it immediately. This time, the service was also friendly and perfectly fine. They kept a close eye on whether we needed anything else and if we were finished, without feeling pushy. All in all, a much better experience than last time. Glad we decided to give it another try.

One of the best place close to nature to sit and have coffee

On September 9th, we enjoyed a delicious lunch and dinner at De Eendracht. The service was friendly and efficient, even though there were 13 of us. The location on the heath and the parking facilities are spotless and ample. Highly recommended. Everything was arranged in advance with Lotte in a pleasant and professional manner.

The service, especially the waitstaff. Every hospitality entrepreneur wants staff like this! That makes the atmosphere great too. And the food gets ****, to keep them on their toes 😎. Photos can undoubtedly be found online.

The location is naturally fantastic, right on the heath and with ample parking. There are lovely outdoor seating areas. The regular terrace and, next to it, small covered terraces with benches under the trees where you can only order using a QR code. You sit there nice and private. The service on the regular terrace was not very sharp, and they often walked past without managing to get their attention. There are often groups here to celebrate something, and many families as well. I only had drinks and some snacks there this time. They were good and nicely presented. It remains a nice place.

Nice location, but poor service. The Eggs Royale is really severely disappointing. Stale bun, hardly any salmon, and virtually no sauce. Truly terrible value for money. The coffee was okay, but the fresh juice was more ice cubes than juice; very disappointed. Nice terrace though.

Incredibly hospitable service for our drinks 🥂🙏

We arrived with a group of 15 people. This establishment seems well-equipped for that. When making the reservation, we had explicitly asked for a table outside on the terrace. Unfortunately, upon arrival, the table inside was reserved. The coffee order didn't go smoothly. Part of the group had already finished their coffee and cake, while the rest of the group hadn't had anything yet. After asking three times, some coffees arrived first—unfortunately not what we had ordered, but we made do with it. According to the waiter, the apple pie had been delivered late, so it was still in the oven. It was quite remarkable that we saw waitresses running outside with trays full of apple pie the whole time. Just as we were about to go for a walk, the remaining apple slices arrived after all, so we were able to quickly devour those. We decided against the idea of ​​having lunch there after the walk. We happily walked to De Groene Afslag instead, where things were much better organized and where we were served a delicious lunch. Getting a table outside without a reservation was no problem either. De Eendracht has plenty of space, both inside and out, but in terms of staff, they are clearly not equipped to handle the number of guests they can accommodate. We had experienced this before, even when visiting as a couple, but this time we are definitely turned off. We would have wished our guests a better experience. A shame.

What a disappointment... absolutely nothing was good today Reserved for lunch for 6 people and arrived on time. Went waiting for 5 minutes before someone came over to handle the reservation. Two minutes later, we were told that a table on the terrace was about to become available. Totally lost, stood there waiting on the terrace for almost 10 minutes until those guys actually paid. Took the initiative myself to take a seat, and went looking (begging) for 2 missing chairs. After 10 minutes, approached a member of staff myself to say that we wanted something to drink. That arrived quickly, at least. But then we had to indicate ourselves that we wanted to order lunch. The patheticst croquette sandwich ever. They looked like chicken corn dogs, with two very thin slices of stale bread. 12 bucks. The toasted sandwich was delivered to the wrong address, and when the right one arrived, this was also a very mediocre sandwich. Two tuna salads (19 bucks each) with tough raw tuna, 1 egg, 2 small potatoes, and above all, a whole lot of lettuce. A fried egg at any random roadside diner is better. Oh yes; 5 lunches served (1 of us sat without anything in front of them) and without cutlery. Had to ask for it myself again... Paying the bill? You guessed it; having to ask twice yourself, being seen, and then prioritizing a conversation with your colleague. Mind you; no staff shortage, really not. When I indicated at the checkout that I thought everything was bad today, "she knew that." Instead of empathy, I was almost made to feel guilty for saying something about it. Once is enough, never again

If there is room, it is a pleasant place to be.

Terrible service and management. It takes hours to get your order. Absolutely ridiculous! The location and apple pie are great, but that’s all there is to say.

The location is very nice, but the service is incredibly slow and this seems to be a structural problem. You have to approach the staff yourself multiple times to get anything done. Today I waited 30 minutes for 2 drinks and some snacks. The staff doesn't seem to care much either, when you get a response like ‘the bar is busy’. No more Eendracht for the time being.

Nice terrace, beautiful view... otherwise just De Eendracht.

Delicious food, friendly service

It's busy on Monday morning (in a good way, because it's lively)! It's a shame they don't have Chai Latte (yet) though :)

Not all staff were equally friendly, and we did not receive everything we ordered. Not even after asking several times.

Let's start on a positive note: the location is fantastic! But the service is a flop. Tables aren't cleared, and the staff just walk past with empty hands. The staff is completely uninterested and unfriendly. The bar inside isn't tidy either. Now, this isn't a one-off occurrence, because I've been here before. That was always for business, though, as I wouldn't come here for personal reasons. Advice for management: train your staff in hospitality. A few simple explanations go a long way. And in the hospitality industry, the rule is: you never walk in empty-handed. Unless all the tables are clean, of course.

Always good. Tasty, fast, and good service. The meatball sandwich is still just as tasty.

After our walk on the heath, we wanted to take a seat on the terrace. When we walked onto the terrace, we arrived at a nice spot with cozy tables and lounge sets overlooking the heath. What stood out here was that the staff were hopelessly behind in clearing the tables. Items belonging to guests who had left some time ago were still lying everywhere. This was evident at our table because the food was already being carried away by ants. Even when we sat down, no one came to clear it away. Furthermore, it was unclear how we were supposed to order. When we inquired at the bar, they said it had to be done via the QR code on the table. However, this was nowhere to be found. “Fortunately,” the outdoor bar was open, and we were allowed to order there as well. Drinks arrived quickly, and then our table was cleared of the previous guests' belongings. The charcuterie board took at least 25 minutes. Unfortunately, the charcuterie board arrived without any cutlery, meaning we couldn't spread the sauces on the somewhat dry bread rolls or fish the meatballs out of the tomato sauce... The bitterballen weren't really warm inside, which is convenient for the children, but anyone who has ever eaten a bitterbal knows that if you don't burn your mouth on the first one, they have probably been sitting in the kitchen ready to be served for quite some time. The bitterballen with the red filling, however, were a pleasant surprise. Empty glasses also remained on the table for a long time; when someone finally came by to collect the glasses, he took one of the four empty ones with him... It was nice, though, that after about an hour and a half, a member of staff finally came to bring the QR code for our table. Furthermore, it is nice that there is a playground for the children. It is also good that they can grab balls to play football on the heath. In short, it is a shame to have such a nice place in a prime location, but the service is far below par.

only for drinks and apple taart we waited more than 30 minutes (super slow service), the place was not even crowded. when we checked the situation we were told “it is what it is” (without even a small apology), we cancelled our order at the end. it was a disappointing experience for us and for our kids. i will avoid this place next time.

We wanted to grab a quick drink here after cycling. But unfortunately, that didn't work out there..... They had been too busy that day, and they were preparing for the evening, so you couldn't get a table anymore (we were there at a quarter to 4). There were still plenty of empty tables and they weren't closing anytime soon. We cycled on to the next terrace, where we were welcomed hospitably. It's a shame, really; it's a nice spot, but we'll cycle on next time.

Cozy place, also great for families with children!

Beautiful location, with a view of the heath from the terrace. Ordering is easy via QR code + payment; the order is delivered shortly afterwards.

Beautiful, quiet surroundings. I would never have looked for that there.

Recently, we had lunch here on the beautiful terrace overlooking the Tafelbergheide. After a while, one of the staff members came to our table to tell us that the receipt for our lunch order had been missing for some time and they still had to start working on it. A thousand apologies! No problem at all; we were sitting comfortably in the sun, in no rush, so staying a little longer was no punishment. She asked if we wanted a drink on the house as compensation. Now, we are not the type to beg for every little mistake made. So we said that we didn't think that was necessary. The staff member replied lightning-fast that she did think it was necessary. Necessity knows no law, so we gratefully accepted the drink, and in less than fifteen minutes, a delicious lunch was on the table.

Ordering and paying for every cup of coffee with a QR code. Useless.

Last time, we ate on the terrace to our full satisfaction. Nice view of the heath.

The location remains great, but the food has gone downhill. Country bread with tuna salad is a wafer-thin slice of bread with mainly lettuce and here and there a dollop of tuna salad.

Good location, great service and tasty food; the staff is very customer-friendly.

Very cozy, relaxed atmosphere, delicious food, perfect service. Beautiful place: definitely going there again later when the heather is in bloom!!!!

Taking allergies and plant-based food into account is very poor. If an allergy to bell peppers is mentioned, the alternative is used on the BBQ with the same serving utensils. The same applies to meat, fish, and plant-based products. I have experienced an organized BBQ there twice. I won't be going there again. I advise against it if you have an allergy or eat vegetarian or vegan.

Nice covered area with a seating area where you can eat; if it gets a bit chilly, there is a wood stove to warm up nicely.

Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious pastries.

The food is always good, the service is good, and it's a nice spot to sit! And the staff are very polite and sweet.

We had a wonderful, cozy wedding reception here. Everything was arranged down to the last detail by Sherr, with personal attention for every person and just that extra touch of service. If I hadn't lived in France, I would have come here much more often. Oh, and the location is beautiful too!! Definitely worth a visit (or several 😉)

We had the pleasure of celebrating our eldest daughter's birthday here and it was absolutely fantastic. Lovely and attentive service. Thoughtful and very accommodating. We had a wonderful evening.

Bad, never coming here again. I'm going back to Moeke soon.

This restaurant is wheelchair accessible, and there is also a disabled toilet. It is beautifully situated on the edge of the forest and the heath. It was not busy during our visit. There are nice little corners to sit with your family. Games and a ball are available, as well as a bowl of water for the dog. The staff is young and does not seem to be directed. Twice they arrived at the table with the wrong orders and had no idea who they were actually for. We had ordered using the QR code and waited 25 minutes for a toasted sandwich while our drinks were placed on a tray somewhere on the picnic table away from us without a word. I just had to get them myself. Also, no napkin was provided; that can happen, but when I walked over to a waitress, she said, "Just grab one yourself in the middle of the terrace." The atmosphere among the staff is relaxed; many come here for a drink or a bite to eat after a walk.

Use to come here just for the apple pie and cream served with it. Recipe must have change, dry hard slightly burnt tasting shell, and I got spray tinned cream, not the nice dollop of fresh thick cream they usually give. I also swear they use to serve it hot? Also use to be more decadent and rich. Anyhoo, the Hema apple pie is better now. Please fix this. Use to be the best I've ever had, now it is very underwhelming.

Really ridiculous prices, 7.75 for a cup of soup. 9.95 for a cheese toastie... Beatrix may live across the street, but the prices don't have to be royal.

Relaxed atmosphere and good food. Friendly staff.

We sat on the terrace at lunchtime, ordered, and the soup for my wife arrived first. 10 minutes later, we went to ask where my latte and apple pie were; the soup had been finished for ages. It arrived later after all; my coffee, which was lousy, was perfect, but the apple pie was delicious and flavorful. It does cost a bit, but you get what you pay for. What also happened was that the order was passed around to other tables twice, and we had two extra colas. This really needs to be addressed so that things are handled differently; someone needs to take charge of the whole process, because this is simply unacceptable; it's not that difficult.

Great restaurant, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, great lunch, ample parking, beautiful location on the Blaricum heath.

We were here yesterday afternoon/evening for drinks and dinner for a wedding; it was really perfectly arranged. The hostess / manager Cher was super friendly and knew exactly what you needed; she did a really good job!! It was truly amazing!! Hope to see you soon.

Good lunch on a cozy terrace by the heath! Friendly staff!

I am describing a quiet Wednesday as I approach a waitress to order a cup of coffee. That can be done via the QR code, I was told (curtly). I come to a place for the atmosphere, not to order via a QR code.

Nice place for a walk, very busy on Friday and some orders took a long time. But good food and friendly staff.

Lovely place to have lunch, had a delicious meal, friendly staff, everything well taken care of 👍👍👍

Nice place, but I expected a bit more. It's a shame that when you respond to their request, you don't hear anything back. It says something about the company.

Cozy restaurant on the heath. Plenty of seating. Had a delicious lunch. And friendly service.

It was very busy. It was Mother's Day, so we had to wait a long time for the food. The starter bread arrived when the main course was served. For two dishes, the fries arrived when the meat ran out; we didn't get the salad. The food was tasty and the staff friendly, but they were just too busy, causing everything to go wrong. We were compensated with a free drink, though.

Mother's Day was super busy. The staff really did their best to provide everyone with food and drinks, but it still took a bit long. Food was great! Great value for money! So, highly recommended.

We had a delicious meal tonight for Mother's Day. Despite a miscommunication regarding the Mother's Day menu, it was resolved perfectly and we received top-notch service from the new manager. Thank you!

I always thought I knew apple pie. That, after years of searching, tasting, comparing, and analyzing, I had become immune to surprise. I have eaten apple pies in the canal houses of Amsterdam, in hidden lunchrooms in the Gooi, at so-called legendary bakeries where people queue for hours. I shamelessly called myself an apple pie connoisseur. And then I tasted this one. This is not apple pie. This is a reminder of something you didn't know you had been missing your whole life. The apples have exactly that perfect balance between softness and resistance. No mushy sweetness, no hard, sour chunks, but an almost romantic bite. As if every apple was carefully selected based on texture alone. Every bite first gives a subtle crunch, followed by that warm, buttery softness that slowly melts as if the pie is dissolving on your tongue. And that dough… my god, that dough. Not too thick, not too thin. Not a dry crust that exists only to hold the filling together, but layers with character. Lightly crisp on the outside, soft and rich on the inside. It doesn't break, it whispers. As if butter and love decided to build architecture together. And then that whipped cream. You taste immediately that this doesn't come from a spray can. This is whipped cream with a soul. Homemade. Velvety smooth, airy yet full. With an almost mysterious depth of flavor that you can't immediately place, causing you to automatically take another bite to understand it again. Perfect in thickness, perfect in texture. Not just an addition, but an essential chapter of the story. This apple pie does something dangerous: it ruins all other apple pies forever. After this pie, the rest feels like decoration. Like an imitation of a memory that never really existed. I came in for coffee. I left with an existential crisis about how good apple pie can actually be.

A very nice location where we have been celebrating May 5th for 10 years. Our very chaotic group was perfectly provided with everything we asked for. Waiter Tim provided excellent service and kept a good overview. The Classic Caesar salad was a favorite again! And the little ones can play safely outside.

The restaurant is in a perfect location, is beautifully decorated, and the service is excellent.

The food and setting were excellent. However, the service left much to be desired; no effort was made to speak English, and no smiles. It's a shame, because I recommend it for the food.

Top service and very friendly staff on King's Day as well. The food was very good and ready quickly. They were also very friendly towards the dog. Definitely recommended for the whole family. Carlijn Koning

Great location, good food, reasonably priced, small portions, clean toilets, ample parking for cars, but not for bicycles.

The coffee with apple pie was delicious. Back for lunch after the walk. The couscous salad was very disappointing. Too much lettuce with very little couscous.

Great restaurant. Delicious hot coffee. Friendly staff. Good base for walking.

Fantastic place, superb location. We come here often and love it. Today was the first time there was an issue with the food, but it was resolved fantastically by Sher (manager). Top notch!

You can eat really well there, inside, outside, or in the veranda. With a beautiful view over the heath. However, people often smoke on the outdoor terrace. The staff is friendly and comes by often to check on you. A really lovely place, also for going for a walk on the heath afterwards, for example!

Had a delicious Easter lunch with the whole family; it was well taken care of, especially the brioche with salmon was tasty. We also took a lovely walk across the heath afterwards. What beautiful surroundings!

Great place for families as kids can play freely and adults can enjoy a meal, while also being outside, immersed in nature.

Nice place to eat, drink, and walk!!

It was very nice to be back at a place I often visited as a child and where I have fond memories. After a beautiful walk, we thought we would have a drink and a bite to eat at your place. Unfortunately, we were completely ignored. We weren't even sitting in a secluded spot. Waitstaff kept walking past, but they apparently didn't notice us. We made it known that we wanted to order. They said they would be right there, but no one came. They were busy with each other and other guests. It must have been busy, but at that moment, late in the afternoon, it wasn't busy anymore. After well over half an hour, we left disappointed. Fortunately, there are plenty of hospitality venues in Blaricum.

Walked away. The staff forgot about us.

Top notch, we often come here for a walk. Parking is good, service is great—not very experienced but fast, clear, and welcoming. We love that. The toilets are clean. The charcuterie board is delicious, price 17.75. Highly recommended.

We had coffee and cake here after a memorial service. It is a beautiful location, but the restaurant looks messy. The table in front of us had not yet been cleared, but we were allowed to take a seat. The table was only partially cleared when our order was taken. We ended up taking the rest to the bar ourselves because it wasn't being collected. Subsequently, only part of the order came through. We had to ask for the rest ourselves. The service is friendly, but I found it difficult to approach. There was no eye contact, so we had to get up ourselves to ask something. That could be improved. It wasn't excessively busy, by the way; the upstairs area was closed, and it wasn't terrace weather either. Better luck next time?

It is a treat to eat at De Eendracht. Delicious dishes, good service, and a beautiful view. All in all, top-notch!

Nice place to walk and relax on the terrace or inside. Cozy and good food.

Long waits for drinks, and disinterested staff. This was the second time and also the last. We won't be back. Poor service and not customer friendly.

Messy, I think that's the right word, it's just not quite right

Lovely terrace after a nice walk, I like to come here.

The restaurant is beautifully situated overlooking the heathland and is therefore busy. The service we received during our lunch was mediocre. But that's where the positive impression ends. The cappuccino we received was lukewarm, and it also came with two cookies that had probably already been used. My lunch was a fried egg sandwich. You're used to getting a decent piece of bread at any restaurant, but here it was a very thin slice without butter. There were also no toppings, which are usually included. Of course, I should have complained immediately, but I didn't have much faith in that, given the crowds and wait times of at least 30 minutes. In conclusion, I won't eat there, just have a drink.

Unfortunately, the hospitality was lacking today. The service left much to be desired; adding a piece of salmon to the fried eggs wasn't an option, while it's perfectly acceptable with other dishes. The female host was very friendly, but the person who was presumably the manager seemed disinterested. This doesn't feel worthy of Eendracht.

Nice, atmospheric, cozy restaurant with a beautiful view of the heath

Well-located restaurant. We came for coffee and apple pie, which was freshly baked. In summer, there's a large terrace and separate shelters for small groups.

I met up with a colleague for a meeting. Enjoying a delicious piece of apple pie was no punishment at all.

I have booked online 20.45, the first slot free, and when we arrived at the restaurant the kitchen was closed. They checked and they only can prepare pizza, my partner can't eat pizza. She is allergic. So only myself I can eat she needs to see me eating pizza. We decided to leave, it was a bed experience.

A truly wonderful place to eat or have a drink! The staff was incredibly friendly. The menu was also incredibly diverse and included many vegan options, which was a real plus. Everything was delivered quickly, and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was also great! Nothing to complain about, and I would definitely recommend it.

Had a delicious meal at De Eendracht Blaricum today! The pulled chicken sandwich from the new winter menu is highly recommended!! The staff was friendly and attentive. I'd love to come back soon☀️

I really enjoyed a delicious apple pie with homemade(?) whipped cream!

A beautiful place! Wonderful place to meet a friend for a lovely walk across the beautiful heathland and finish with a delicious lunch. Plenty of choices for everyone, even for people with allergies (like me). There's a lovely atmosphere, and the staff were very attentive.

Lovely walks around the restaurant and a delicious lunch. Very friendly staff and very dog-friendly.

The food is okay, but the service is often very poor and everything is so poorly organized. Waiting half an hour for coffee or being turned away from a half-empty restaurant. In such a busy and popular place, that's a bit incomprehensible.

Lovely place to rest and have a snack after a pleasant walk across the heath.

Cozy place, good service, fast service despite the crowd, it was a great experience

We sat there for almost three hours, first coffee with a friend and then lunch as a couple. Everything was fine: a decent cappuccino, a lesser-than-stellar, lukewarm espresso, but delicious croquette bread! One point of concern: we were sitting at two different tables, constantly in a draft, which was quite unpleasant.

We had a delicious meal in a cozy restaurant. Friendly staff!

The waitress was busy serving drinks. A bit of a shame. Cutlery was left on the left; apparently, walking around the table was too much.

A delicious, well-prepared high tea, available by appointment. Delicious sandwiches, soup beforehand, bread rolls, and sweet treats. Compliments!

The restaurant was a bit messy. The pizza looked good but cooled down very quickly. The Irish coffee glass was only 3/4 full (??). The staff, very young, tried their best but clearly lacked experience. All in all, a bit disappointing.

Very cozy place. The staff was very nice, but they don’t have a physical English menu, and the QR code that would link to a English menu website was not working in any of the pages, just 404 errors. The food was okay, I ordered the sandwich with mushrooms and burger, the fries were great and so was the apple pie.

Had dinner here last night with friends, and it wasn't anything to write home about. The service wasn't great, and the meat was very dry. Not for us again!

Plenty of choice, even for vegetarians. Delicious tomato soup. Good salad. Coffee, ginger tea, all excellent. Very friendly staff. Enjoyable lunch.
