De Eend (The Duck) in Wijk 03 Loosdrecht

On some photos from Google we thought we saw a somewhat "simple" restaurant. However, this was not the case at all, the restaurant has a beautiful back terrace where you have a wonderful view over the lakes! Incredibly friendly and thoughtful service and in addition every dish was delicious! From a sandwich with homemade olive oil as a starter to the dessert, we enjoyed everything. And that for a very reasonable price. +1 for accessibility and interaction with the dogs on the terrace. We were unexpectedly wonderfully relieved for an evening. We will be back soon!

Cosy and atmospheric, lovely on the water. Quiet somewhat older company!

Have the Out of The Box!! Soo delicious! Service was friendly and quick! Will be bringing all my friends and family visiting!! Keep up the good food and service🎉

Delicious food, excellent price/quality ratio.

Good friendly staff and delicious food in a beautiful location..top!

Delicious food and very hospitable.

Nice outdoor seating area, overlooking the water !

Wanted lunch on a Tuesday and was disappointed most places were closed. Then finally as luck would have it this little beauty had an open sign outside. We enjoyed an extended lunch of high quality in a very cosy atmosphere and enjoyed the lovely views. Will go there any time again if we're in the area.

A place that many pass by and we think that's great because it means more space for enthusiasts...

We had another delicious meal at De Eend.

The Duck! And they have ducks everywhere inside! Haha - It's quite cute! It was a really nice place to go and enjoy a night out for dinner, perfect for a cold winter night. The staff can speak English so that helped out abit. We used google translate for the menu 😂 We obviously tried to speak the language, but we didn't want to embarrass ourselves or them by butchering it. 😅 All in all, it was a lovely experience.

Very relaxed restaurant Good service and delicious food We really enjoyed ourselves. And definitely worth repeating. TOPPERS👍

It is so fantastic in this time and place to find where you can also get coffee (to go) during the day, in our case a delicious hot chocolate with whipped cream. A brownie topped it all off three quarters of the way through our walk! A few years later… we had a very nice lunch. Our group mainly ordered salads that were delicious. Desserts were also worth it and despite the names with a well-known twist, they also had surprises. Good and friendly service, we would like to see that more often! And of course a beautiful view of the small boats at the jetties in front of the door and the Loosdrechtse Plassen.

Nice restaurant in front of the lack

A very nice place, the only one in the area.

Great location, fantastic bouncers, good beer, perfect service; discovery!

Best duck ever! Great service, beautiful place... But the duck! Yummy 🤤

Atmospheric. Just had coffee and apple pie. Fine. Friendly staff. Beautiful view over water. Lively. Atmospheric background music. I think it's a must eat.

We have been coming here for years, I live in Deventer and the others in the Randstad. Excellent quality-price ratio, good service.

Everything was great, friendly staff, tasty and sufficient food and a very reasonable price.

The salad dressing was so overpowering that I couldn't taste the duck anymore. The duck in the Ducky dish was very tough and to top it all off I also got a knife in my back when it fell off a tray. Shirt dirty, sore back and I couldn't even say sorry. Really scandalous. In addition, my chair was kicked four times during the evening by the staff, as if my chair was in their path. I expected a reaction from the restaurant, especially after a negative review, but spreading lies about me and the actions of the restaurant staff really rubs me the wrong way. My husband also indicates that no apologies were made and that I indicated that I wanted to be left alone for a while. Not as is claimed below that the manager could no longer do anything for me after having apologized. I was asked two questions 'is your shirt dirty and did you hurt yourself?' When my husband said 'you can see that, can't you?' on the first question and I answered 'Yes quite' on the second question I said 'leave me alone for now'. After that no more reaction from the staff and then such a reaction? SHAMEFUL!

Great food, cheerful service! Will definitely visit again and try that veal liver :D

An unexpected place. We arrived by chance on our way to Amsterdam and were delighted with the experience. Rich and varied food. Quiet place with very friendly staff, except for the owner who let her two huge dogs roam freely between the tables.

Nice restaurant, beautifully situated on the water in Loosdrecht. The decor is simple, but effective. Not a very comfortable seat. The food is good, but not special. The same goes for the controls. Nevertheless, a great place to have dinner!

Really enjoy it here! The Peking duck is an absolute must! Service of a higher level with an atmosphere that you can admire. I would love to come back again when I find myself in Loosdrecht!

What a nice place to eat. I've been there twice in the winter months. Nice menu with some unusual local options such as stewed eel and also our own olive oil. Cozy atmosphere with lots of attributes to look at in the "duck" theme. I thought the price was a bit on the high side, but surmountable for once.

Yes super cute ducks atmosphere!

What a beautiful spot! View of the Loosdrechtse Plassen and delicious, but also affordable food. We will remember this one!!

Having come here on recommendation, I am sad to say I really wouldn't be able to pass on my own recommendation. Table service was slow at times but short wait time for meals. The price charged didn't reflect in the portion sizes nor the quality. Other meals may offer a better experience but I wouldn't recommend the Doeloe - entire meal was finished within 5 minutes and I'm not a quick eater (for example: menu suggests pineapple - image shows the smaller than quarter of pineapple supplied which seems odd.) Atmosphere was great, cosy inside with plenty of gentle lighting and offering to take your coats.

We had 2 pieces of sole, which had no fish meat on it and were dry It was a shame that if it contained 5 grams it was a lot. I was looking forward to a nice fish, but unfortunately this should not have been on the menu. Fries were also crumbly.

Great local restaurant with beautiful views over the lake. The duck special is always great and the staff are always polite and friendly. Totally recommend you visit if you are in the neighbourhood!

Super friendly staff, great food, extensive selection and good view at the lake. Clean toilets and free parking. In other words: well recommended place.

Tasty food in a casual atmosphere. Service is friendly, fast and attentive.

Always fab! Fixed price for us. Nice food good service. Good atmosphere.

Very cozy restaurant, good food and friendly staff.

Delicious asparagus soup, rolls with sauce and 7 mini spring rolls.

Delicious I highly recommend it

Nice place, a bit hidden but on the terrace behind you have a nice view of the water and the boats

Delicious food. Driven by 200 times, finally stopped. Both the brie and tofu were delicious

I visited with about 20 people on tandems for lunch, having interacted with them by email the day before. It was hot, so we were happy to sit in the shade near the entrance. We were about an hour earlier than I had predicted but there was plenty of space for us. Service for drinks was OK but food was very slow. Even getting a menu took a long time. Most people's food was OK. However, I ordered the babaganoush. It was nice but tiny, about 2 spoons full, and came without bread. For 13€ is was an outrage.

A good address for a delicious meal for years. Finally, the scropino. They have delicious olive oil from their own soil.

Chose to eat here at the last minute. Reservations were still possible until 2045, but without any response. Were able to get a table at 2035. We were a bit rushed when making the choice because the kitchen was closing. On paper they closed at 11pm. No further comments. Was very busy, but I think that indicates the quality and atmosphere. Very tasty food and drinks! Delicious curry soup, prawns, dull 'n peat salad and "out of the box" dish. Really friendly service. Despite the pressure we felt when choosing and the speed of the courses, we had a very nice evening and our waitress had a nice chat.

Another delicious meal, what great service! Everything equally delicious. "Ducky" 1 of my favorite dishes!

Super friendly staff and delicious food. A real must for eating out

Came to the restaurant from the water. Beautiful location with a nice menu, delicious food in beautiful weather. Highly recommended.

Always a nice and cozy place to enjoy a delicious meal. On the terrace or inside. I would love to come again!!

Had a delicious meal at the Loosdrechtse Plassen at Eetcafé de Eend. A truly surprising place with excellent cuisine.

We ate at De Eend again after a long time. A warm welcome, good service all evening, delicious food, beautiful location. Enjoyed!

Cozy location on the water. Delicious food.

Nice meal (lunch) Convivial Nice service

We only had a drink there, but it was a very attractive place.

What a wonderful place to meet up with friends! Compliments to the service and the kitchen for how they dealt with the complex food allergy of one of the guests. We will definitely come back.

Place well Food good (Tournedos with duck liver!) Service good (keep the lady (blonde, light glasses) who served outside at the front today) Simply recommended; It wasn't so full for a reason! (So ​​make a reservation wisely)

Very blunt, authoritarian reception. Immediately turned back to the car. Bye

Good food and good service, again soon!

It was busy, even though our lunch was served fairly quickly.

Lovely, cozy restaurant near the water with a lively vibe. Lunch was decent, but nothing too special. Service was friendly although a bit slow as we sat there for quite some time and had to remind them to give us the menus - restaurant was very busy that day!

After years of regularly eating here with pleasure, both lunch and dinner, good price/quality ratio, it was now disappointing. The house wine wasn't great. Prices had risen above average compared to a few years ago. The quality of the food was reasonable. Our impression is that commerce now predominates here and the price/quality ratio is below par.

The duck is located in a beautiful location and has a lovely sunny terrace. The food was tasty but it took way too long, we waited 50 minutes for 2 sandwiches.

Good and honest food, a nice extensive menu and a beautiful terrace on the water. In addition, very friendly staff!

Friendly service, delicious food and nice atmosphere

I have been here many times and it is always very tasty and comfortable. Only today the clerk wasn't having his day, I tried to motion to him if we could sit somewhere else, but he didn't notice. In the end we changed places ourselves. Then the waiter came, I said oh yes, we have been moved, is that okay? He says, usually you ask that in advance, very irritated. At first I thought he was joking but then I said oh you meant it mean (judging from his face) He says no, I'm just being realistic. Very strange comment for the service, After this I asked if I should smoke here, he almost insultingly said no, then you have to sit on the other side (as if I should know that) but well the rest of the staff was very friendly, which is a shame that this kind of staff can ruin a place like that…. Unfortunately, I won't be going back anytime soon

A nice restaurant with delicious food.

Fantastic atmosphere, excellent food. Would love to come back

It was above expectations, the food, just good, above average, and yet at reasonable prices. An idyllic view close to the water. The downside was the hustle and bustle, and I understand that. Not a place for a romantic outing, but great for a quick meal with friends, family, the two of you and more.

Just got a drink. Cozy by the lake.

Really great restaurant, delicious food. Very nice staff. A mega boss who brought us back to our boat when we would otherwise have been wet to the skin. Getting a taxi is impossible there. I look forward to our next visit. You can find my favorite place nearby on my YT channel keyword Wide Blick.

Our table was outside, right by the dock with a great view of the lake. I had duck prepared in a tomato sauce and veggies. My wife had “Ducky”, which was duck breast medallions topped with a sauce. Both were excellent as was the service with a comfortable, unpretentious atmosphere.

Good restaurant in a beautiful location. Highly recommended. Delicious food, but a small blemish on the evening, it took a very long time before the main course arrived. It was also peak hour / top crowds. Friendly staff.

Very nice place, delicious food, hardworking but very friendly staff.

fast service and excellent food, unfortunately we had to sit in a corner without any view of the water and that took away a lot of the atmosphere. Other people chose not to sit that way and we do not recommend seating people at a table without a view of the water.

Average restaurant but interesting location

Cheerful and good service. Very good price-quality ratio. Superb location.

Had a delicious meal at De Eend. At the Vuntusplas in Loosdrecht. What a super nice tent.

Quaint restaurant. Not cheap and portions are clear.

Today was my birthday, enjoyed it, really went out for lunch!

If you want to sit in the sun and be forgotten, you should come here. Drinks and appetizers were delivered quickly, but when we received the menu and a large group of people came in, we completely forgot about it, 30 minutes later they finally came to take a look, by which time it was already too late and we were over our hunger.

Delicious food, friendly staff with a sense of humor.

Beautiful location with good food!

Ate here again last Saturday after a day of sailing. What super friendly staff. We were welcomed with a big smile. The food was fine, we ordered delicious soles and they were not disappointing. If I may make a small complaint, the fries that were served were limp, not really crispy. Personally, I don't find that very chill. Everything else was great and very pleasant.

Cozy restaurant located on the water. Nice service, nice and relaxing. And excellent price quality!

We had lovely family time and lunch today. We have to congratulate Katja our adorable waitress who was specially kind with our grandchildren . Everybody was smiling and kind. This is our third time here and we will certainly return. Bravo Katja.

A very cozy cafe. We had a delicious lunch there and the service was more than great! Great location to eat and then go for a walk or cycle. Definitely recommended to eat here. Chappeau!!

Great restaurant with nice seating inside and on the terraces. It is a bit hidden from the road albeit well signposted and doesn't look too great from the carpark, but once inside it is excellent. Our lunch dishes were very well prepared and served by friendly staff.

Delicious food. Croquettes were very tasty! Nice atmosphere. 🌞

Great duck! Wonderful location.

We didn't eat anything, but we did have a drink on the terrace, served quickly and friendly

We had a very surprising and delicious meal here, enjoyed the fantastic view and the nice service! Highly recommended. Will come back again soon with friends.

What a great atmosphere! After a beautiful sunny day, my brother and I visited 'De Eend' and we enjoyed it! Super nice staff, genuinely interested and professional. The food was very good, different dishes and nice wines. In short, highly recommended!

Tasty tuna, but it was overcooked... friendly service. I wonder if the staff was sufficient for the number of tables

Nice restaurant right on the water. The food is delicious - the portions are a bit small. The service was attentive and quick. The owners' dogs occasionally come to cuddle.

Very friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere with a very nice view of the water and very good cuisine! It was a nice evening again!

We wanted to have breakfast there, saw on the website that the Duck opened at 10 am. We go there. Kitchen still closed, it won't open until 12 o'clock. We were kindly received for coffee and apple pie. Since we wanted to have breakfast, thank you for this. Please put on the website that the kitchen opens at 12 noon. I think it is a nice and beautiful place in the summer. Now very messy appearance.

Had a few drinks in De Eend during a walk. Good atmosphere. Koffie De Duck was not really to my taste. We might eat there on our next visit to the area.

The food was okay. But if you are a company and you all order something that comes with a side of fries, they will bring you one plate (maybe just a tiny bit bigger than a single serving) to share and charge you for any "extra" you request.

Came here from The Hague and had a delicious meal. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service. Delicious homemade olive oil also for sale!

Wonderful place with lake view and good food.

Cozy restaurant, great service, delicious food. Thanks for the nice evening!

Delicious family dinner. Lots of choice. Good wine. Friendly service. The homemade olive oil is highly recommended.

A nice lovely hostess, Was delicious. Until next time.
