Cafe Restaurant De Krachtcentrale in Wijk 05 Havengebied

Great experience at restaurant De Krachtcentrale. Had a delicious meal. And the food was perfectly prepared. Many different flavors. And sharing was also very enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Had a delicious meal in a unique building, a former power plant. This "repurposing" is wonderful! Easily accessible, very friendly service and kitchen staff who clearly enjoyed their work. Highly recommended.

We had a delicious meal yesterday and enjoyed a real night out at De Krachtcentrale. The shared dining dishes were surprising and flavorful, every single one of them. The service was more than friendly, and the industrial location has a really nice vibe. Afterwards, we enjoyed Steve's performance that evening. It truly was a night out.

Had a nice lunch, the menu isn't too standard. The only criticism is the hard chairs; especially if you sit for a while, they aren't really comfortable.

Beautiful piece of industrial heritage with a good atmosphere; a bit alternative, but certainly nice. I didn't eat, so I can't comment on that.

We held a party here. Super location, great communication, everything was open for discussion and agreed upon. Top-notch service and staff!

We had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding here on August 29th; everything went according to our wishes and schedule! The venue's flexibility regarding delivering decorations and adjusting the schedule due to bad weather was fantastic! Anne's proactive approach and offering options regarding the possibilities helped us with the planning. We heard from all the guests that they found the dinner incredibly delicious, and the staff present during the day and at the party were golden—hard workers with a personal touch! The venue made the atmosphere complete! We thoroughly enjoyed it!

Nice restaurant with an industrial atmosphere, top-notch service. Great value for money, and importantly, the food is absolutely fine too.

The main courses were reasonably tasty. The fries hadn't made it through to the kitchen, which was a real shame. The staff were standing around talking to each other; they should have noticed this when serving.

Top location for dinner with an artistic feel. The food is sublime. Service is friendly.

Original location and decor. Service friendly and relaxed. Everything is presented nicely. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was a bit disappointing: too greasy and burnt, not really prepared with care.

We held our wedding here on 26-06-2026; from start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience, thanks in part to the fantastic staff who worked their socks off for us in 38 degrees. The location is perfect, the food on the rooftop terrace was truly fantastic, and the elderly were well looked after by regularly checking if they wanted something to drink. Our compliments to the entire team at De Krachtcentrale; we highly recommend visiting this beautiful location.

Great party venue! Attentive, flexible, proactive, and committed staff. We had a walking dinner, which was incredibly good. We can absolutely recommend this location!

If you like an industrial atmosphere, you definitely have to go here sometime. You can get some ideas here. And if you are worried that it won't be cozy, the super-friendly service makes up for it! Do take a look at the menu beforehand. The dishes are a bit less accessible to everyone. Of the 8(?) starters, there wasn't actually a single one that really appealed to me. And actually, I like everything. That's why I chose the chef's menu. It was very tasty. However, I think the dessert was actually sold out. In any case, it turned out super small (I think the cheesecake was 2 by 2 by 4 cm), and we saw people with the same menu where it was four times as big.

First of all, the price-quality ratio here is excellent. I was here for lunch some time ago as well, but I found the portions too small then. However, the kitchen seems to have made significant progress compared to a year ago, so perhaps that has changed now. The dishes are delicious and sometimes even surprising. I hadn't expected burrata with pistachio and beetroot to pair so well. The young waitstaff is friendly and attentive. The only downside is the constant influx of groups coming downstairs to exercise. The restaurant can't do anything about that, but a different route would have been better. Perfect for casual fine dining in a unique location.

Warm professionalism combined with a unique location where highly experienced event managers think along with you. We really had a top-notch event, thanks Anne & team!

I went there on World Ocean Day. It's really nice that they adapt the menu for that 👍

Super chilled atmosphere with a warm and welcoming vibe. The staff were smiling, friendly, and genuinely positive throughout our visit. Chef Krijn even treated us to some incredible Ibérico ham with roasted almonds, which was absolutely delicious. A fantastic experience from start to finish — highly recommended!

Beautiful industrial location. Accessible menu and excellent preparation. Super friendly service.

Had a delicious meal! Friendly service and an incredibly good atmosphere

Had a delicious meal! Service was top-notch!

What a nice place, it wasn't busy, but I did have to wait almost an hour for a toasted sandwich...

Another top evening as always. Good team in the kitchen. Attentive service. The dog was also noticed and spoiled. Kudos also to the sommelier this time for the spontaneous wine tasting and advice. This really remains the place to be in Huizen for an evening of dining. The menu could use an update sometime, provided it stays just as tasty.

For a party with 50 guests, we had the Mezzanine all to ourselves. From the first meeting to discuss the possibilities to the last cup of coffee, it was an unforgettable experience. The location is unique, and thanks to the help of Anne and her team, everyone enjoyed themselves. Everything we wanted was possible, and even last-minute adjustments were no problem. The lunch was delicious. A place to return to.

De Krachtcentrale is a nice location. We had a small event there. The staff was very professional and friendly. The atmosphere and decor are very tasteful and inspiring if you are looking for a venue for a party or other event. The prices are good and it is easily accessible (parking).

We had a delicious ‘menu de chef’ in a charming setting with great music.

The tastiest chicken avocado ever!

Very unfriendly staff. On Saturday evening, I had two drinks with three friends at De Krachtcentrale. We were playing a short game at the front of the establishment with no one around until a male employee very rudely pointed out the noise level to us. Not much later, a female employee came to ask for our ID while we were already on our second drink? We paid immediately and left as quickly as possible. Hospitality is not in the dictionary here.

We had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at De Krachtcentrale with a ceremony and dinner for a small group, followed by a large party. The venue was perfect for both! The food was delicious, the staff friendly, and so much was possible. Truly a top location for getting married, celebrating a party, or just grabbing a nice bite to eat. Highly recommended.

We chose De Krachtcentrale for a content-focused event within our company. The atmosphere felt right immediately, and the Galerie proved to be the perfect setting for our event, which featured various presentations and a keynote speaker. Additionally, we had the option to use the Lodge as a breakout room for teamwork. Afterwards, we enjoyed a delicious lunch in the bar/restaurant and pleasant drinks afterwards. Everything was well arranged: from the room layout to the catering, including the proper handling of dietary requirements. The pre-event service was also top-notch; quick, clear, and pleasant communication with Chananja and the team. We can certainly recommend this location to anyone looking for a substantive, atmospheric, and well-organized event.

Had a great party. The building has three rooms: one on the ground floor, one downstairs, and one upstairs. The cloakroom is upstairs. There's one toilet upstairs and toilets downstairs. Everything is accessible by stairs. Charming industrial building for parties or a restaurant for dining.

The food was delicious and affordable. The service was friendly, but when I asked for the house wine, the waitress brought the most expensive wine (by the glass). So I asked for a different one. The prices per bottle are listed on the menu, but the prices per glass are on a separate card, which is also something to be aware of. De Krachtcentrale is a beautiful, atmospheric place that, despite its size, still has a cozy atmosphere.

Beautiful location, nice decor, excellent menu.

Wow, top-notch cuisine in a nostalgic location. The nuclear power plant still exudes...top-notch service.

very tasty food, good and clear help from the staff and excellent prices for such delicious food.

The food was great. Only, if you sit upstairs in the evening, there are a few construction lights aimed at the building that are truly irritating. We ended up putting a few chairs on the table by the window so we could eat normally without being blinded.

Unique location, surprising interior, definitely worth a visit. Delicious lunch, friendly service, and clean restrooms. Highly recommended.

Beautiful industrial heritage. A great location for lunch or dinner, or for a (business) meeting with a group. Centrally located in the Netherlands and easily accessible. Very helpful staff.

Relaxed staff, tasty lunch and plenty of time to linger.

Too bizarrely good, delicious food and drinks in a beautiful piece of industrial heritage.👍

Delicious food, friendly service and a cozy atmosphere made our evening fantastic.

We had a wonderful evening. The service was great, and they have a good kitchen. Exciting, surprising dishes with a nice variety of flavors! Highly recommended.

Visited place at lunch time, asked to make specific dish with all in by request, team is great communicating at and gives nice feelings food was done incredibly fast delivered and tastes on a professional level. Recommen place for business meetings eating and working as on second floor industrial design an open space. Definitely coming back to tip

A beautiful location! Perfect for dinner or a party!

Eating vegan here was a real pleasure. The chefs and staff put a lot of effort into it, and the atmosphere is wonderful. See you again!!

Nice location, friendly service. Good food.

Perhaps this was because we had a set menu with a large group, but everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong. From the dinner menu, we simply didn't get two dishes (chicken rouleau and ratatouille). None of the dishes served came with a serving spoon. Quite a nuisance when you have to share dishes like a small plate of steak tartare with eight people. We were supposed to be served mussels and fries, among other things. After the mussels and other dishes were finished, we were given a few boxes of fries, "as if after the meal had come to an end," among the dirty plates. The table was thus covered with plates containing empty mussel shells, now cold fries, and used plates. Then, dessert plates were also placed among the dirty plates. When we said this was absolutely unacceptable, the dirty plates and plates were taken away, along with our cutlery. When I asked how we were supposed to eat the tarte tartin without cutlery, I was given a single fork, which we had to share with the whole table. And we didn't get any clean plates. Then 55 euros excluding drinks is quite expensive.

Today we had dinner at this restaurant (there were five of us), this is not our first time, we really love this place for its atmosphere and delicious food. But today it was terrible! We ordered three Caesar salads, and they were disgusting to all of us - the egg was overcooked, the chicken was not fresh and dry, with a skin with feathers; black breadcrumbs and not a drop of parmesan. The fish of the day was not salty at all, fresh, as were the shrimps. We waited a long time for the waiter, who completely forgot about one salad, and one person had to wait while everyone else ate. Disappointment and a ruined evening (

I rarely write reviews, but I’m happy to make an exception for De Krachtcentrale – because it really is one of those places that does everything right. The building itself is impressive: an old power station that has been beautifully repurposed into an atmospheric meeting place. The welcome is warm and sincere. The hostess was friendly and really thought along. Such a personal approach immediately makes the difference. I was there for lunch recently and had perfectly poached eggs with avocado on sourdough bread – fresh, tasty and beautifully served. The sea bream with fennel and lemon butter that I had earlier that week was also highly recommended. On Friday afternoons, the roof terrace is a favourite: nice atmosphere, beautiful view and a nice mix of people. It is clear that this is a place where the region comes together – whether you come for lunch, to work or just to catch up. What makes De Krachtcentrale really special is the combination of different functions: restaurant, bar, exhibition space and meeting location. That's why it's always lively and there's always something to do - it feels like a natural meeting point for everything and everyone. A small point of attention: at busy times it can echo a bit because of the high ceilings. But honestly, that's part of the atmosphere of such an industrial space - it actually contributes to the liveliness and authenticity. Also practical: parking is right in front of the door and is (still) free, which makes it extra easy to drop in spontaneously. In short: an inspiring place that you want to share with others. That's why, as a very exceptional case, this review.

Impressive renovated redecorated rectangled #powerslave ☢️⚡ former used by #fosile means to empower the harbour of the city. Now you can NJoy it as a #multicultural venue with occasional #livemusic 🎙️🎶🎹🎺🎸and to celebrate your privat #party. The #restaurant 🍴☕ is not #plateservice only for exclusive or #quickbites and a fine wine card 🥂🍷. As we talked with the manager the #toilets aka washroom is extremely original situated in the #basement even accesable with an elevator. Nice place 2B 🤗

On a Saturday I went to the Krachtcentrale again. 15 minutes after entering I went to get the menu at the bar myself. Ordered a mojito and gin and tonic; took 25 minutes. Mojito had no sparkling water, too much sugar (not stirred) and way too much rum. Returned the drink, got a new one and.. no sparkling water again. It turned out that the 'sparkling water' had become flat. If someone complains about that - maybe it's a good idea to check that with the second one then.. in the meantime, 2 tables had their orders taken earlier, while they came in later. The food was tasty and arrived within the normal time. The bill included 4 drinks that we had not ordered. It must have been because of the Saturday... luckily there are plenty of alternatives nearby! We'll definitely go there next time.

Awesome place for eating, drinking, chilling and partying.

Great location but was very cold in the meeting room.

We walked from the harbor to the center on a beautiful evening and ended up stranded in the Power Station. We chose the outdoor location between the pear and apple trees and were served by two friendly young ladies. As a main course we had the 2 person menu and a homemade eggnog dessert. It was really more than great.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch and definitely worth doing this more often.

Atmospheric industrially decorated restaurant. Great meal, no further details. We just had to wait a long time for the food to come through. Unfortunately, many inexperienced staff, but everyone has to start somewhere to work in the catering industry.....

A super nice building, nicely industrial and cozy interior. " The evening started well in terms of service. As it got busier, the service quickly decreased. The food itself was fine. The menu had a number of adjustments because a number of items were out of stock. After we had waited a long time for our food, it turned out that things had gone a bit too fast. Burnt sprouts, too dry fries and potato fries, etc. We had a nice meal, but not great. In our opinion, the price/quality was not quite in proportion. There were also a number of parties. These were cozy in terms of atmosphere and music. However, the music got louder and louder, which made it difficult for us to understand each other or the service. All in all,.. if I am with a friend who would like to eat here, I will go along. But I myself will not quickly make the choice to go here.

Nice place for a work lunch, for example! Tasty sandwiches and cozy atmosphere.

De sfeer is erg leuk, prachtig industrieel. En het allerbeste was de service, wij hadden echt een super vriendelijke en goede bediening aan onze tafel. Wat dan tegenviel, was dat overduidelijk het te druk was voor wat men aan kon. Er was een verjaardagsfeest op de entresol, een (huwelijks-?)feest in de kelder en een disco party in de zaal naast het restaurant. Het eten was van wisselende kwaliteit en kwantiteit. Diverse zaken helaas aangebrand, en 3 gamba's zonder echt iets erbij te weinig voor een hoofdgerecht. Drinken kwam ook erg laat door. Al met al best wat verbeteringen mogelijk. Wij weten echter nog niet of we dat nog een keer willen/durven te proberen.

Enjoyed the Sunroom Sessions! What a beautiful location.

Leuke setting. Vriendelijke ontvangst. Eten was lekker, verzorgd. De prijzen zijn goed, niet goedkoop maar ook niet duur. Goedkoopste fles wijn is rond de 29€.

Cozy and tasty... I like that industrial look

Atmospheric atmosphere, fun parties

What a great place this is! Service was top notch and very friendly staff. A cover band sang songs by Amy Winehouse live. I will definitely come back here again!

We were staying nearby and came across this by chance while out for a walk. Cool building, nice hostess who welcomes you, great decor. Atmospheric. Tough, industrial. Recommended, would go there again if I'm in the area.

What a beautiful, cool party location, hopefully more parties like 'The Waves of Goesting' will follow

Beautiful building, easy parking in front of the door. Delicious food. Friendly service.

Industrial vibes, nice bites and friendly staff. Could use a little bit more vega options, but overall a very nice menu with plenty of options for everyone. Will be back!

Excellent food, nice atmosphere and a delicious bitterbal

Delicious food, in a nice atmosphere. Service was great, we were seated slightly away from our table. They immediately offered us a place by the fireplace, where we enjoyed the cote de boeuf warmly.

During dinner a mouse kept running around the restaurant. Staff did nothing about this. Incomprehensible and very unhygienic.

Nice place to have lunch, but a bit difficult if you have to go to the toilet, which is downstairs and up a scary staircase

Special place in an industrial building. Had a delicious lunch.

Leuke ambiance en zeer vriendelijk personeel. Minpunt was dat het veel te lang duurde voordat we als groep ons hoofgerecht kregen. Hamburger was prima maar voor dat geld heb ik elders een betere gehad. Te duur voor wat werd geserveerd en overgecompenseerd met teveel friet. Mijn verwachting is niet waargemaakt helaas.

Food was tasty, but not very special. I had the feeling that the controls still had to get used to each other, but many small things did not go well. But Charly Luske's performance made up for everything.

beautiful building to wander around and have a nice bite to eat

Definitely worth a visit, we only had a drink but you have to see what they did with the old building 👍👍👍👍

What an unique surprising and unexpected place in the town of Huizen (area Het Gooi) in The Netherlands. I was there for a special 'French style' party on the 14th of july (Quartorze Juillet!) lovely people in lovely outfits and perfect catering and service through out. I have to get back soon for a full course dinner to test if I can upgrade my 4 stars (based on the snacks and special event to 5! But I have a gut feeling that will come out fine too. (photo's coming up!)

Very lovingly prepared industrial building. The food was innovatively fresh and delicious!

A beautiful, unusual and cozy place, you eat very well there near the small port! We loved our time here!

Worst steak tartare ever and way too small portion. The staff resolved our complaint excellently by offering free fries and the steak tartare as a starter.

A nice place, friendly staff. Looks good.

We were just no other guests, staff were pushed full of food from the kitchen, very boringly decorated and the hamburger was dripping with red cabbage and garlic sauce which had a strange taste and soft drinks are expensive and you get 200ml

Former power station, now a mix of coworking, meeting rooms and a restaurant. Very quick and well-trained service. Creative cuisine with a daily menu for soup, fish and ravioli. Nice: Anyone who wants to eat vegetarian, low carb or keto will also find what they are looking for here. And: The ice cream scoop as a dessert is also available individually. The sunset is worth seeing, the lush vegetation is always a joy.

In the alcove where we were sitting, I had the impression that I was sitting in the old toilet area. The sauce was too sour in my opinion.

Beautiful building with many old details, some art and lots of plants. Unfortunately we didn't eat there. But definitely worth a visit!

We were guests twice during our vacation. Great atmosphere in an old industrial wasteland and excellent food at reasonable prices.

Great food and drinks, awesome staff.

We had a very good meal with a group of 13 people, ordering drinks often took a very long time and not all dishes arrived at the same time. Food was excellent

Nice place, went for a drink, so I can't say anything about it for dinner. It is a charming place with friendly staff and a chic appearance. After 4 p.m. the place filled up with networking drinks.

Went today for my 29th birthday. Unfortunately not a good experience with the power station: Service very slow, they were busy preparing for a large group that came later and therefore forgot about us. Totsti ham cheese was misread by the chefs and the poached eggs were not poached. The chef probably let the eggs cook with too little vinegar while poaching. Very disappointed by the kitchen, and 20 euros for a portion of creuses oysters is really out of proportion. I have been working as a chef since I was 16 and it is noticeable that this kitchen is very profitable. 1 sandwich for lunch for 13 euros is really too much. 1 positive point was their hollandaise, which is why 2 stars instead of 1. Even when we arrived, we were not looked after.

Nice place, friendly staff and delicious food!

Very special industrial catering accommodation. We had a delicious meal and were able to go on Saturday evening without making a reservation.

Atmospheric, plus points for the many plants :)

Delicious lunch; menu that is slightly different from the standard things in the area and everything freshly prepared. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff, and plenty of parking in front of the door (or on the street). Recommended!

Via een site met hotspots in het Gooi hier terecht gekomen. De plek is fantastisch. Een grote industriële hal maar super sfeervol ingericht. Bediening vriendelijk, vrolijk en correct. Leuke kaart, heerlijke gerechten en goede wijnen. Genoten en komen zeker nog eens terug.

Unfortunately, Cees' shrimp croquettes have been in the fryer for too long. Was hungry and devoured it before I could say anything. Tastes great by the way. So worth repeating.

Nicely done in the building. Wonderfully nostalgic. Excellent food and friendly staff. Recommended!

Had an event here today followed by lunch. Allergies were taken into account.

Inmiddels van onze achtste lunch bij de Krachtcentrale genoten. Nog geen keer ergens in teleurgesteld geworden. Vandaag hertenbiefstuk en eendenpootje: wij kennen Gooise restaurants die hier niet aan kunnen tippen (maar wel hoge pretenties hebben). Het interieur is niet doorsnee en zal mogelijk in eerste instantie afschrikken. Maar het gaat om het eten.....!
