Familierestaurant Bergsche Plas in Wijk 15 Oosteindsche Polder

There is still room for a few finishing touches, but some people are really doing their best and the food was very tasty.

We enjoyed everything we ate. Taste, presentation, and temperature were GOOD!

Nice restaurant and great location in the middle of the park and next to the lake. Perfect for either a drink or a meal. We had the crepe and it was delicious! I’m lactose intolerant and I was happy to find a place with the option of lactose free crepe, usually I can’t eat them. I’ll be back!

Extensive menu. Beautiful view over the water. Had a delicious lunch.

Ridiculously expensive. The price is not commensurate with the quality or quantity (portion) of the food.

Beautifully situated along the water. Had a wedding party there. It was great.

Nice location, friendly staff. A bit pricey though. 1 glass of water (no bottle) 4 euros.

Nice place, had a good meal. It's a shame that they serve small glasses of whipped cream with the coffee without asking, and charge extra for it.

I ate here tonight. I ordered the quiche with lettuce. Unfortunately, it was a mini quiche with a mountain of lettuce. This definitely needs to be adjusted on the menu. The taste sensation was good, but the quiche shouldn't be called a quiche; it should be called a cheese roll. When paying the bill, I gave the waitress an extra 5 euros. Since I worked in service for a long time myself, I appreciate the word 'thank you'. Unfortunately, this word was omitted. It must be a generational thing, where tipping is just normal. This prompted me to write this review.

Decor is old-fashioned and cozy. Often many groups with children, making it somewhat chaotic. Expensive! Staff are students who have a lot to discuss with each other. Location in a beautiful nature area.

We love coming here with the family to grab a bite to eat, all twelve of us. The food is simply good, and you are served quickly and courteously at great prices. Parking is free, but if you have severe mobility issues, it is still quite a distance away.

Too bad. On Saturday afternoon, May 9, 2026, we attempted to have lunch. We ordered salmon salad and a healthy sandwich. First, a drink: Spa Red and Hoegaarden Citrus 0.0. After 1.5 hours, there was still no food in sight, although cutlery was already on the table. We eventually left after paying for our two drinks. We received a sincere apology and were offered a drink, which we simply declined. The food passing by smelled good and looked good. But apart from that, we can say little about it, except that the service was substandard. Too bad. Given how busy it is, it is probably okay. But this is our experience, and you will just have to live with it.

Had a delicious meal. Nice, enthusiastic service.

Nice place, but expensive for what you get to eat (lunch).

It took a really long time before we could order anything, and then waited a long time for the food again. And it wasn't even that busy. Presumably they were messing around in the kitchen more than working, because sometimes primal noises came from the kitchen, it was unbelievable. In total, we waited 45 minutes for one smooth lemonade. And then another 55 minutes for a bacon and cheese pancake.

Excellent quality, however... prices are excessively high!

Endless enjoyment. On my birthday, I had drinks on the terrace with my children and grandchildren and ate inside. Very pleasant service, always with a smile. Helpful to parents and children; nothing is too much trouble. That is hospitality with a capital H and an example for many hospitality venues today.

Cold fries but no solution. It was almost as chilly inside as outside with the doors open, and even with a coat on, the elderly were still too cold due to the draft. We lacked an eye and feel for simple and obvious things; put yourself in the customer's shoes. A tip would be coaching and monitoring staff regarding hospitality and maintaining a good atmosphere; the attitude of just one person can ruin it. Perhaps this was the wrong time, because the atmosphere was fine for lunch before, but now, for a cozy evening dinner, the experience was substandard. There is so much to choose from elsewhere, so it is not recommended for a group dinner, but for lunch or a quick coffee break, I think it is fine. It's not fun reading this, but unless we are craving pancakes during the day, we would rather skip it.

I was allowed in and allowed to order food just before the kitchen closed; a very tasty hamburger with a beautiful view of the lake! The perfect way to end a SUP trip 😍

Pleasant location, and friendly staff

We had a good meal with two teenagers. I did feel that we had to wait a bit before we could order. I also thought it took quite a long time to clear the table, so we just walked inside ourselves to pay.

A cozy restaurant where you can enjoy a delicious meal after a walk in the woods. Dog-friendly.

Quite pricey, but the pancake was good.

It is always nice to enjoy lunch or a beer with a snack here after a bike ride along the Rotte or a walk around the lake.

Really great right by the water. Tasty lunch and good service.

Beautiful location, friendly service & delicious food! We will be back soon to walk & have a drink.

Beautiful location with a stunning view. Drinks (cola, fresh orange juice, chocolate milk) were served quickly. The staff is very friendly. Unfortunately, it took 40 minutes for our tomato soup and children's pancake to arrive. It is understandable that it is busy on a nice day, but preparing two simple dishes should surely be faster. All in all, a nice place to sit and enjoy the view, but not for ordering food.

The wait before the food arrives at the table is about 40 minutes during busy periods, so please keep that in mind, but there is a good spot everywhere to sit and relax in the nice weather.

Low quality food, outrageously high prices. We won’t be back.

Great place for a drink or a bite to eat. Extensive menu and reasonable prices. Prompt service and friendly staff. Two terraces available.

Nice weather and right in the middle of the park, so a full terrace. Tasty pancakes, friendly waitresses who didn't act stressed. So relaxed. Lots of people who just had to bring a dog, which is a shame.

Lovely place to relax, friendly service, delicious food, and a lovely view

Good Food Pancakes great vibes and atmosphere.

Good food. Quiet location, and very nice view on the terrace, recommended, plenty of choice on the menu.

Bad experience calling the restaurant. You first wait three times for a recording that says "Thanks for waiting," and then it's "Unfortunately, it's very busy, please try again later," and the call is disconnected. VERY POOR SERVICE

The location and exterior are very nice. Inside, it's a screaming children's paradise with very mediocre food. Fine for a bathroom break, but don't eat there.

A truly lovely family restaurant. A quick lunch wasn't a great choice for a business traveler. The fried egg was too hot in the pan, blackened around the edges and underneath. A very small lunch for the price (€17.50). But it's good, that's all. Do check the bill carefully; initially, a glass of tap water cost one euro. Upon inquiry, this was deducted. Apparently, many Rotterdammers come here and only order tap water and nothing else. That's understandable; they have to make money, otherwise, they'll be gone in a while.

Everything is actually fine. The staff doesn't always pay attention to whether someone needs help or service. Point of concern.

Great. Lots of people come here with children. Indoor and outdoor play areas (sandbox with toys) for young children. Delicious pancakes. Good coffee. It does get very busy on sunny days/in good weather.

Great place. I come here with my dogs and child, and everyone loves it. The service is super attentive and fast. They even give my dogs a treat. Highly recommended!

Don't order anything other than pancakes, the rest is inedible

Very friendly staff! We enjoyed our pancake and coffee while watching the beautiful lake view. Loved the cosy vibe. The complimentary coffee liqueur with slaagroom was quite delicious ❤️

Very nice and cozy Great and friendly staff Thanks for the pancakes

Nice location, good food, friendly staff

Nicely decorated now for the Christmas holidays

Had a really fun evening. Very friendly staff, nice location, and a great menu. It's also really great that there are vegan options and that they even thought about the vegan mayonnaise, TOP👌

Restaurant in a nice location, excellent menu, and reasonable prices. Service can be a bit slow at times, and the friendliness varies depending on the staff.

Not really special. The food isn't that great either.

Don't go there during the week, it's very boring.

The tea wasn't hot enough to steep properly, and the cappuccino wasn't really hot either. They were clearly understaffed; waiting 25 minutes for your pancakes is really too long! The prices are also a bit high!

Cozy restaurant with very nice and friendly service. The pancakes were excellent.

We had a great time, the friendly girls who went the extra mile. Even the dogs were provided with water bowls. Thanks again for the great service. And the location is fantastic.

This time I just had a coffee but they do great pancakes!

Service was mediocre to fair. Friendly, but the organization seemed a bit lacking. The meatball sandwich was dry and fell apart. It wasn't very tasty either.

Nice and cozy family restaurant. Food is excellent. Service is friendly and helpful.

We had a wonderful time and our toddler could play happily in the sand in the outdoor playground

I had a drink on the patio with three friends and a dog. It was busy but pleasant. The service was friendly.

Fast friendly service and excellent food for this type of restaurant

Cozy place, excellent food, pleasant service

Very nice place to sit with delicious pancakes.

What terrible service! We were helped by a waitress who pretended to be hard of hearing—she hadn't slept a bit—and even gave us the wrong order. The location is nice, but if the service remains this subpar, we'll stay away!!! (Remember etiquette; we pay for service and politeness, among other things.)

The atmosphere is great. It's cozy and so nice that they're so thoughtful about the kids. There's a fun play area and a lovely menu.

Just had a wonderful time here, honestly, not because the food was great. Beautiful location and great that the kids can play there. The pancakes were pre-cooked and reheated. And the fried eggs were prepared with little to no attention. Such a shame about the location. So if you decide to go here for hot chocolate milk, you can't go wrong.

Very pleasant and friendly staff

Nice place for a bite to eat and a drink, but really expensive. Sorry. It's a nice place, but the prices are exorbitant.

A lovely family restaurant where you sit by the lake and receive friendly service and good food. You can also enjoy snacks and drinks. Enjoy a view of the lake or sit inside. Plenty of parking.

Had a lovely lunch here on the terrace by the water. Nice location and good food.

After a bike ride, we were looking for a drink. There were four staff members standing around chatting. We left after five minutes because there was no response from the staff. Such a shame, a missed opportunity.

Fantastic! A truly wonderful location with an extensive menu. Child-friendly, but also a great place for a romantic get-together.

Busy tent, girls doing their best

Great waterside location with SUPs for rent.

Super nice location but very bad service.

Delicious food by the lake, easy to do. Sometimes busy. Service is excellent, although a few times ordering was a bit awkward; they brought drinks but then had to order from someone else, which took a very long time. The staff were definitely friendly and helpful. The food is delicious, and reservations are also available for weddings and parties. Beautiful location!

Beautiful location on 2 sides with children's playground and seating area for parents to keep an overview, other side quieter with almost no children so a lot quieter, also wonderful on the water

They serve alcohol with coffee without informing

Perfect for eating with young children! We'll definitely be back.

Really, really disappointed. My fiancé and I were looking for a beautiful wedding venue, and this seemed perfect. So, before requesting a brochure, we went for dinner to soak up the atmosphere. What a lovely terrace by the water, but unfortunately, that positive vibe quickly faded. We'd ordered a bread roll with spreads beforehand. The herb butter was impossible to spread, the bread wasn't warm, and the aioli was very sour. I ordered shrimp for my main course. This was also a real disappointment. The fries weren't cooked properly, and the shrimp portion was outrageously small for €25! The hamburger isn't really recommended either; it was overcooked meat from the freezer. While we were waiting for our food, the staff was doing TikTok dances. When I mentioned the shrimp at checkout, I was apologized for and asked if I wanted dessert. No, thank you, I'd rather eat the rest elsewhere. Unfortunately, we'll be saying "I do" elsewhere.

My husband and I got married this year at the Bergsche Plas family restaurant. From the beginning, we knew this would be our wedding venue because of its location and the combination of landscape, forest, and water. Communication initially went smoothly, but suddenly that changed to a different contact person. Suddenly, that was the case, and communication wasn't flawless. We didn't want a typical wedding, and what had seemed feasible at first was suddenly impossible. And even when everything was reasonably up to par and the wedding itself was finally here, the person in charge was absent. Not customer-friendly and not respectful. That's no way to treat customers. We look back fondly on our wedding, despite the previous issues and the 32-degree weather. The people in charge did a great job and were there for us. The styling for the ceremony was as we had agreed. Unfortunately, we missed the styling for dinner, even though we had agreed and paid for it. That was a huge shame, as that was one of the reasons we had the photographer stay a bit longer. Our tip! Stay polite in your communication (we did too) while also sticking to your own wishes and don't let things get you down if something isn't possible. Because a wedding should be your day, and a venue should do EVERYTHING for that!

Last night I ordered a flat white, but was served a regular latte. When I politely addressed this with the waiter, they ignored it and just laughed it off. I thought that was a shame. I'm passing this on as constructive feedback—I appreciate good service and hope this will be handled more carefully in the future.

Today was a wedding at Bergsche Plas, a beautiful location, and with the company and the Italian BBQ, it was a fantastic day! The evening party was also a blast!

Great food with a beautiful view and a walk afterwards.

Had a farmer's omelet. It was a very generous size. It looked well-prepared. Friendly service. Definitely worth repeating.

The food we had was very tasty and well-prepared. Lovely surroundings, friendly staff.

We had our wedding here, and it was a truly beautiful location! The Highland cattle, the water, the tent—gorgeous! And excellent service.

Nice no-nonsense place to chill and have a beer while the kids play

Celebrated my birthday with 20 people. Friendly staff. Delicious food. It was so clever that everything was served at the same time and at the right temperature.

I had cold coffee three times. The staff touching the food with their fingers wasn't very hygienic. Otherwise, it's a nice place, but the staff desperately needs training.

We come to this place quite regularly. Partly because we live around the corner, and partly because the kids can have a great time there. Last year, the terrace facing the woods was renovated with a new playground for the kids and a lovely large awning. On the waterfront, you'll be in the sun during the day, but in the shade in the evening. The view remains beautiful there, and with a bit of luck, you might even see a SUP rider tumbling into the water 😉 The interior is charmingly old-fashioned, which, in my opinion, could use a bit of a refresh. The kitchen is excellent, with a decent selection, and the food is well-prepared. It's also a great venue for events like a wedding or a party!

Top location on the Bergsche Plas. Nice terrace on the water. Also fun for children.... large sandbox with climbing equipment. Delicious menu with pancakes of course! Only downside... no thick, real whipped cream. Also recommended!

A cozy family restaurant with a good menu, offering something for everyone. Beautifully situated along the water.

Had a nice drink on the terrace.

A great restaurant with delicious food and reasonable prices. Super friendly service. Great view of the lake and park.

Nice restaurant with good service and delicious food. Unfortunately, it's a bit pricey.

This was a real disappointment. We thought we were going out for a nice meal after having made a reservation. We were seated on the raised terrace overlooking the lake. The staff kept walking past us to serve us on the terrace, but they didn't notice us. After waving to the waiter, we were able to order drinks. These were brought, and after 15 minutes, they came back to ask if we wanted more drinks, but we wanted to order food. We ordered this and then didn't see any service for over an hour. We went to ask if we'd received any food, and the excuse was that they had had problems with the cash register two weeks ago. Instead, they went to the kitchen to ask. After 10 minutes, the food finally arrived, without an apology. We ordered drinks right away. After another 10 minutes, they asked if we wanted a drink on the house, even though all our glasses were full. We finished our food, and then they came back to ask if it was good. One drink was deducted from our bill when we paid. We mentioned that the service was very poor, and then they said it had been a long and hot day for us, so things weren't always going smoothly. We won't be returning.

Fantastic place in a beautiful area. Understandably always busy. Very noisy in the conservatory. We love coming here! Delicious food.

Despite the average (and pricey) food, this place is amazing in summer. Nice view on the water, plenty to do for kids, both games and toys inside and sand with tools outside.

We love coming here. 4 stars to keep them on their toes.

As a newcomer to the Netherlands, I’ve been impressed by how safe and clean the tap water is here—something many countries can’t offer. So, during our visit, I politely asked the staff if they could refill my young son’s water tumbler with tap water. To my surprise, their response was that I should fill it from the toilet. As a parent and a guest, I found this answer quite disappointing and honestly a bit disrespectful. I understand if there are policies against refilling bottles, but the way it was communicated felt unnecessary and unkind—especially to someone still adjusting to a new country and culture. I hope this feedback is taken constructively. A little more empathy and a clearer explanation of restaurant policies would have made a big difference in how this interaction felt.

Here you can enjoy delicious food and drinks in a natural setting.

Food is still great. Serbice is good. When isabel worked there the atmosphere was grand. Too bad she left she was a real horica beast.
