Eetcafé De Eerste Aanleg in Wijk 23 Lemmer

I found the staff very unfriendly. They raised my hand two or three times and were noticed, but they just walked on to other customers. I also found the hygiene on the terrace to be poor. We ordered a bottle of wine and received two dirty glasses and a wine that costs 1.60 on the internet and was 25 euros here. A nice sweet wine, but not rubbish. The food was good.

Great location. We ordered two beers at the bar. It was obvious that it would take a while, as the place was packed. After asking several times and an hour later, we still hadn't had one. The service was unfortunately abysmal, so we left.

Heerlijk geluncht aan het water. Mooi terras met prachtig meubilair en heerlijk boten kijken.Vriendelijke bediening. Ligging buiten centrum maar desalniettemin zeker een aanrader.

First, I'd like to highlight the location. Beautifully situated by the water. The food was fantastic. Not only was the taste outstanding, but the selection of dishes also exceeded my highest expectations. The presentation of the dishes was also a feast for the eyes. It's good value for money. I would happily eat there again. Even the children's plates are really good, with a rich and varied menu. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Very nice, very tasty. Very friendly service and a great atmosphere. Your new terrace is very inviting.

Our first experience at De Eerste Aanleg: We thought we were ordering a delicious fried schnitzel, but we were sorely disappointed. It was good meat, but the kitchen messed it up. It was deep-fried and arrived at the table, covered in grease. It was a real shame. The service was also terrible. Very functional, not a single word more, and to finally pay, we went inside to the bar. There too, no further explanation: "Where were you?" or the amount. This was our first and, unfortunately, last time.

It's suggested you can moor there to eat something. This is only allowed with a very small boat. We had a small sailboat and wanted to eat something with four people. We were turned away because we weren't allowed to moor there. The boat (10 meters) was too big. Well, goodbye🙋‍♀️

Upon arrival, we were surprised by the beautiful new terrace, complete with lovely furniture. What a wonderful addition to an already lovely restaurant. We come here once a year from Gelderland, specifically for lunch and boat watching. A wonderful 12 hours, and the staff are always friendly. Until next time.

A beautiful establishment. It has a large terrace in the harbor, right on the water.

Great restaurant, good service and very good food, you're practically sitting on the water right by the marina... highly recommended.

A super, super nice location in Lemmer – the food is excellent and the staff is always friendly. Sometimes you have to wait a bit, but it's hardly worth it. On weekends, it's best to make a reservation during peak times; it's almost always full.

Another delicious meal and super friendly service!

Nice restaurant, friendly service, good food

Bôhhhh La Chouffe on tap. A combination of the café at the harbour and van der Valk. Man, what a great meal I had here. Great service!

So delicious!! The prawn curry is simply the best!! 👍👍👍👍🎉 The location is great🥰

Very tasty food and a lovely maritime atmosphere.

The reservation service was terrible. Despite the signage, the staff couldn't remember you and claimed it was off-shift, even though you booked the table with that person yourself! Sad...

Ondanks dat niet alle tafels bezet waren op het terras. Waardoor het terras een beetje druk is, vergeten ze gewoon je opgenomen bestelling door te zetten naar de keuken. Na een klein uurtje navraag bij de serveerster kom je hier achter. Foutje kan gebeuren. Hoe dan ? Alles is in een Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) ingevoerd. Wilt u wit of bruin brood? Ongelooflijk raar. 🤔

I was there on May 26, 2025, and I was pleasantly surprised. Friendly service and really good food at a reasonable price by Dutch standards. I'll definitely be back.

Nice location, delicious food, good service!

Au détour du port, belle surprise de voir cette brasserie avec une carte diversifiée et copieuse. Poissons, viandes et végétarien. Même les enfants ont la possibilité d'avoir une belle pièce de saumon au menu enfant. A recommander dans la zone

Delicious food. Beautiful surroundings. Cozy atmosphere. Excellent service and very customer friendly

good restaurant and beautiful terrace on the water👍🏻

Top location on the water. Friendly staff. Definitely worth repeating. I recommend it to everyone!

Great view, mooring option right at the jetty. Own dock for dinghies.

Je moet wel even 'doorbijten' want bij aankomst kijk je tegen een verloederde keet aan - blijkt dat je achterom moet lopen om het eettentje te vinden. Dan kom je terecht in een laagdrempelig plekje met leuk uitzicht en prima eten.

Beautiful location and delicious food!!

Great ambience, delicious food and just beautiful.

The food wasn't good Price/performance is not right. Service very friendly

Delicious food and very hospitable! Highly recommended!

Top! Delicious food. Ribs were superb. My table had schnitzel with mushroom cream sauce, also great.

Geweldige plek aan het water . Dit is echt een aanrader voor lunch,tussendoortje of diner.. Personeel heel erg vriendelijk dat is een groot pluspunt.

Delicious food good service we had a lot of fun

Delicious food in a very beautiful location with a view of the water. I was also very pleased with the price.

It's cold outside, or rather icy and the water is partially frozen - inside the fireplace is burning. Apple tart with whipped cream - the cake is steaming, the cream is decorated with fruit - a culinary delight. The schnitzel with side dishes such as fries, some vegetables, extra red cabbage, salad - not only looks good, but also tastes very good. The service - have been there a lot now and have always received friendly and quick service. Value for money - 5 out of 5 from me and applause. Of course you don't get anything for free, but the prices are just good. The location - okay, anyone who comes to Lemmer for the first time won't see it straight away because it's just not in the city. A 5 minute drive from the city, but the drive is worth it. Conclusion - once you get to know it, you'll love coming back again and again.

Another delicious meal, the service was great, see you next time

Good food, friendly and attentive service, right on the water in one of the most beautiful places in Holland.

Nice service, good food, nice ambience. Prices are still okay.

We were served quickly despite the fact that the cafe was full.

Had a family day here, it was pleasant in a room where we were alone with our family and the food and drinks were served there in perfect order.

It was a nice evening and delicious food, Service from Angelien was always great, great

Simply vacation and harbor cinema and delicious food and delicious beer and friendly, fast service and and and…

A very nice place, great view, very cozy space, nice service and great food. We chose spare ribs and can only recommend the restaurant!

We were a group of 26 people and agreed in advance that we would eat buffet for 12 hours. It was excellently cared for and everything was delicious and more than sufficient. Tomato soup, croquette, carpaccio, salmon, salad and various types of bread. And good and friendly service. Highly recommended to have lunch here with a larger group.

Friendly staff, beautiful views of the water, there's always something to see. Only the prices are too high. The menu could be better, it is only a small selection of dishes. Difficult for strangers to order something. It would be nice to have a better menu, preferably with pictures.

Heerlijk gegeten. Uitstekende kwaliteit van voorgerechten, vlees en vis. Heerlijke groentes en nagerechten. De bediening is erg vriendelijk.

And then you stand there in front of a closed door. While it says everywhere that the cafe would be open.....

We had to wait 20 minutes for a pancake for our 4-year-old son.

Rij door naar achteren. Wij dachten eerst dat we niet goed zaten. Uiteindelijk kan je je auto achterin goed parkeren en dan loop je langs de zijkant richting het water en daar is een mooi terras. Heerlijk gezeten en lekker gegeten.

Nice, on the water, beautiful view. Very friendly employees. Pleasant !

Continue to the back. At first we thought we were in the wrong place. Ultimately you can park your car well at the back and then walk along the side towards the water and there is a beautiful terrace. Had a lovely seat and a delicious meal.

Had lunch for the 4th today. Very tasty, very friendly atmosphere priceless

I haven't eaten so well for a long time, everything was great

Nice location Tasty food Friendly staff

Nice mooring in Lemmer, great service and delicious food, certainly affordable. Accessible by boat or bicycle, but with private grounds vs the marina

After 2 hours of waiting we finally got our food. Very unfriendly service. Last time!

The food was good and the atmosphere was very nice. Unfortunately, half of the order was forgotten and dismissed with the comment that there had been a misunderstanding. The table wasn't cleared for 1.5 hours and there wasn't an invoice (the invoice amount was communicated verbally), The service employees were below average.

The food was truly amazing! Only the environment really disappointed us.

Heerlijke plaats om te genieten van een lekkere maaltijd met goede service. Genoten van de ontspannen sfeer, het uitzicht, geen lange wachttijden.

Friendly staff, very good food, great view.

During our harbor training we stop here briefly to have a coffee. Nice atmosphere.

Helpful, where necessary and friendly.

Delicious food on a beautiful terrace on the water.

Delicious food. Friendly service

Nice location. Cozy on the water with a large outdoor terrace. Inside it is small but cozy. We were there for a birthday, so with 10 adults it was a bit cramped and because no reservations had been made in advance and there was also another party, tables and chairs were pushed next to each other in a provisional manner. But the food and service were great.

Super friendly staff. We should have waited a little longer... but when we reported this we were immediately offered a free drink... food was very tasty!@

Super Cozy Restaurant!! Delicious snacks with your own spare ribs. And not too expensive. Various seats. Both in and out of the sun or wind. Easy to install. Very friendly staff and fast, neat service. Enjoyed and laughed for 3 hours, thanks for the hospitality.

We have been holidaying in Tacozijl regularly for 20 years and have been visiting the restaurant every time since then. The staff is always friendly and the food is absolutely delicious and of very good quality. In recent years in particular, the ambience and the food have increased in quality. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

It was very nice there. As always, happy to go there. Staff very friendly and food very tasty.

Cozy and good quality/price ratio. A cozy café with friendly, attentive service for every budget.

Everything around was really great!! The food was very tasty and the portions were very large. Really great value for money! The waitresses are very nice and professional. We would love to come back, thank you very much!!

A very nice cafe right on the water. Coffee and cake were very tasty. The service was very friendly and attentive. We were completely satisfied.

Great local. Nice service. Enjoy your meal. Great location. You feel in good hands here. Were there twice in a row. Always my pleasure.

Fantastic food, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Edwin is a star in the kitchen and prepares fantastic dishes from the Josper. A 9.5, you will definitely get that last half point next time!

We had a very tasty rib-eye, the salmon was also excellent. Friendly service and relaxed atmosphere 👍👌

If you go there for the first time, you have to find out where it is. But you won't be disappointed. The food is excellent. We were there yesterday. We ate a great steak and a delicious soup. I think the First Instance is recommended in every respect. 'In the summer you sit there on the water with a beautiful view of the passing boats.

Goede service :) altijd een vol glas!

A very nice restaurant, the food, service and atmosphere in the way of music were all really nice. Don't be fooled because it is located outside of the town of Lemmer, that does not mean it's less in quality. We had the Spare ribs & Salmon and it was served with fries, seasoned potato parts and a bowl of salad. If you are a below average eater, then bring some friends with a big apetite. Allergies or other diet wishes are taken very seriously! They serve Hertog Jan as beer, also a bonus. Truly a recommendation when you are in the neighbourhood. All in all, the price was very low for the amount and quality of the food and drinks.

Super Essen, nette Bedienung und cooles Ambiente.

Chillen direkt am Wasser, mit den besten Bitterballen ever. Aufgrund der Überdachungen auch bei nicht so gutem Wetter ein Erlebnis

Sehr nette Bedienung, absolut freundliche Bedienung, Preise angemessen, aber nicht "günstig" ... Ambiente absolut BOMBE!

Ein Beusch dort gehört zum Pflichtprogramm, wenn man im Ort ist.

Machten hier eine kurze Rast um etwas zu trinken und den tollen Ausblick zu genießen. Toller Ort mit sehr freundlichem Service. Wir kommen definitiv wieder - hat uns sehr gut gefallen.

Höflich, freundlich und zuvor gut gelaunte Bedienung. Essen war auch super

Sehr schönes Restaurant. Essen lecker, Portion Sparerips sehr groß ( hätte es gerne etwas knuspriger gehabt) und super nette Bedienung. Am Wochenende immer reservieren, tolle Terrasse, teilweise überdacht. Gerne nochmals

Schöne Atmosphäre und die besten Spareribs, welche wir bisher gegessen haben. Netter Service und gute Preise.

Der Burger ist ein Gedicht. Ist einfach lecker. Nette Bedienung.

Heerlijk eten, op een drijvend terras, uitkijkend over het water. Geweldig.

Draußen sehr schön, direkt am Wasser. Bedienung sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Speisen im Preis-Leistungsverhältnis okay, schmackhaft und ausreichende Menge. Karte groß genug. Hat uns gut gefallen.

Ruim terras prachtige plek op wijds water, borrelplank giga. Aanmeren ging vreemd, piepklein plekje maar we hadden ons moeten melden en moesten ons bootje verplaatsen omdat plek gereserveerd was?

Super schönes Restaurant. Sehr schön

Superleuke locatie (zeker voor de watersport liefhebber).

Mooie locatie lekker eten enthousiast personeel! Zeker een aanrader wij hebben genoten.

Wat een ervaring heerlijk eten genuttigd terwijl het teras licht mee bewoog met de golven. We hoefden niet lang te wachten op het eten. De mensen waren erg vriendelijk! En met de schemer gingen er overal mooie lampjes aan. Dankje wel er bestaan nog goede mensen!!!!!! Met vriendelijke groeten, Stoelwinder - Jonker

Heerlijk gegeten boerenommelet en uitsmijter cappaco waarschuwing neem geen patat erbij want je krijgt het dan niet op! Gezellig aan het water, bootjes varen voorbij. Leuke ontdekking als we in de buurt zijn komen we vaker.

Bellissimo panorama e il tramonto, peccato che c'era un ragno nella sedia e il bicchiere della birra era sporco ( è stato fatto notare ed è stato cambiato). La cotoletta era molto buona ma c'era troppo olio ; hamburgher buono pure. Abbiamo preso pure il pane con le tre salse davvero buone.

Eine sehr schöne Location, direkt am Wasser, mit Blick auf das Hafenbecken am Hotel Iselmar!

Lekker gegeten maar kreeg de indruk dat wij een beetje opgejaagd werden. Het personeel is wel vriendelijk en attent.

Personal sehr nett, große Auswahl an Gerichten, sogar Frühstück

Good service, nice harbor for Lemmer.. Food could be better, not tasty and missing some love… curry chicken too rare and morning delivery bread could be more baked…
