Grand Cafe De Foyer in Callantsoog

12 euros for an Aperol Spritz is blatant extortion; it's now the most expensive shop in Callantsoog.

I ate mussels there for 21 euros and there was nothing with them, not even a slice of bread – that's outrageous! The service was very unfriendly!

Great outdoor seating area. Wonderful, and the inside is lovely too. The food used to be much better, but it's still good.

Delicious breakfast and fantastic service ☺️

Pay attention to what is ordered and delivered. The mini cappuccinos are not free.

Very cozy 👍 Great service Fantastic food 👍👍

The price-performance ratio is not right. On the day of our visit, the employee responsible for our table was also not very motivated. And although there were obviously two children (4 and 7 years old) sitting at the table, the children's menu was only brought out after we asked for it.

Very unfriendly staff. You don't feel welcome.

Friendly service and delicious food, highly recommended, and a nice liqueur with the coffee!

Delicious food, an extensive drinks menu, and top-notch service, all for a good price.

Delicious dishes Top service Nice atmosphere Friendly staff . Beautiful location

The milk in the latte macchiato was bad – my boyfriend tried it too. It was truly disgusting. And none of the staff seemed to care. No effort whatsoever, just an "ah okay."

The service is very friendly. The food isn't too expensive but is very tasty. Highly recommend it!

High expectations for eating mussels at the Foyer. But for 21.50 a pot of mussels, many of which had empty shells, with absolutely nothing else on the side......

Sit comfortably and have coffee and/or lunch. Friendly staff.

Delicious cappuccino and an Irish cream with whipped cream on the side.

There were seven of us today. The food was good and the location very nice, but the waitress was incredibly unfriendly; she seemed to be stewing all evening – it was truly awful! I hope she doesn't work there much longer; she's ruining the whole restaurant, even though it's so lovely!

Yesterday we went for breakfast and ordered five breakfast items. What arrived was a large plate with a small pile of salad, cold cuts, cheese, about ten slices of bread, jam, four fried eggs, and four packets of butter. When we asked for more eggs, they immediately brought more. Apparently, the butter was a problem, as they had decided not to include much, since not everyone eats butter. When we insisted, the waitress was extremely rude and said she could bring extra butter. We didn't say "extra!" but rather, "Five breakfast items should include five packets of butter – that's normal!" Without even looking, she placed a bowl of butter on the table. Now we had butter, but we'd run out of bread, so we ordered a few more slices. That cost us €4 for four slices of bread. Well, if that's what you're after, we won't be having breakfast there again. It was tasty, but everyone should try it for themselves.

We had our final breakfast of our holiday here, with probably the most delicious bread ever! Very attentive and courteous service, very clean restrooms – we really enjoyed it.

Once again: extremely satisfied! Spectacular mussel varieties. Pleasant atmosphere.

Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. The waiting times for absolutely everything were disproportionately long: from ordering and receiving the drinks to serving the dishes and then the drinks again. What made it even more frustrating was that the restaurant was not even fully occupied at that time. Of course, we understand that things can take a little longer during busy periods, but the waiting times we experienced were far above what is reasonable or acceptable. A restaurant visit is supposed to be relaxing and pleasant, but due to the constantly long waiting times, it became primarily a frustrating experience. Based on our visit, there is clearly room for improvement in the organization and speed of service.

We enjoyed incredibly delicious and fresh pastries.

A nice café with the usual offerings. Very centrally located in town, on the edge of the square. However, this also means it's in the thick of things. So, not ideal for a romantic first date. But good for seeing and being seen. Food, drinks, and prices are all okay.

Had delicious kibbeling. And croquettes with bread. Service friendly and fast.

We've been there several times, and it was always fine. But last time we were so blatantly ignored that we left after 25 minutes. Sorry, that's unacceptable.

Lovely seating, good atmosphere, and delicious coffee!

We spent some lovely evenings there. Stylishly decorated, delicious food, and excellent cocktails. Highly recommended!

Had a delicious lunch. Nicely decorated. Friendly staff.

We had breakfast there, and it was very disappointing. Two slices of toast! An eighth of a tomato, a paper-thin slice of ham, two small pieces of salami, and a slice of cheese with a fried egg – the price was completely unreasonable. There was no other choice whatsoever. Attention vegans – there's nothing for you. Not recommended for breakfast.

Sunday afternoon, May 31, 2026, I concluded my otherwise perfectly executed day in Callantsoog at De Foyer, as I go there quite often and was satisfied. Unfortunately, this was apparently not the staff's best day, as I found them rather unengaging; I am not used to this, especially the oldest waitress. Fortunately, Callantsoog has more terraces where I will sit next time.

The food was good. The service was friendly. Even though there was a mistake with the order – a vegan meal was ordered but it ended up being meat – they brought a replacement.

Customer-friendly, nice place, and the food is good too.

Unfortunately, we had to wait a very long time for service, and there were problems when paying because the server was overwhelmed and wanted to charge us for more food and drinks than we had consumed.

The food was okay, but it wasn't served in a very friendly manner. The weird, uninterested girl needs customer service training.

I had dinner with my husband at the café this week and, unfortunately, our experience was disappointing—especially as this was our second visit. While I regret saying so, we did not enjoy the food, and the mocktails did not feel well-balanced in terms of price and quality. In addition, the service seemed rather inattentive throughout the evening. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and sadly not one we feel inclined to repeat.

No idea what happened between December 2025 and now, but we won't be visiting the Foyer again anytime soon. Burnt pancakes, inedible vegan burgers, inattentive staff, and all for a not-so-cheap price. No thanks.

Delicious, delicious. Good price. Very friendly service.

Only had coffee with cake. Excellent service.

Affordable restaurant. The dishes are of good quality. And generous portions.

Had a delicious meal. Atmospheric place. Nicely decorated. And friendly service. Definitely recommended.

We ate here on Monday and the whole experience was top-notch. Good food and pleasant service. My wife is a Gin & Tonic lover and we had a view of the bar. The Gin & Tonic was poured by eye, not with one of those silly little measuring cups. I hope these entrepreneurs get to keep running their excellent concept for a long time.

Amazing ✨✨ Had a delicious meal, super friendly staff. We sat on the terrace with our dog; the place is really pet-friendly 😍

Last week, we had a wonderful meal with friends: wild stew and the diamond hare (superbly prepared). The atmosphere was lovely, the service excellent, and the price-quality ratio was excellent. Definitely worth a visit! We hope to see you again!

Today, January 25, 2026, I went for lunch again, and the pea soup (pea soup) was delicious as well. Stop by if you're in the area. Friendly and welcoming staff, and the food was delicious. I'm a regular in Callantsoog and will definitely eat here again.

Goat cheese sandwich with honey and apple. And a brie sandwich with ham. Fresh and very tasty.

Village center, always happy to be there, delicious food

A delicious breakfast with jam, cheese, tomato wedges, ham, salami, and butter. The fresh (warm!) bread from the local bakery is especially delicious!

Very nice little Café, the coffee is extremely good and also the food (breakfast and brunch) was very enjoyable! Staff was extremely nice and friendly! We will come again!

We've been coming here for almost 10 years, but the quality is starting to decline. It's still a nice place, and dogs are welcome, but will I come back again? I don't know. One thing definitely needs to improve: the wine is absolutely undrinkable.

Enjoyed a nice cup of coffee after a walk on the beach

Nice place, efficient service, tasty dishes at a reasonable price.

The cappuccino wasn't very Italian 😁, but the location was great with very friendly service.

Great bouncer and I was helped quickly and in a friendly manner.

We had an amazing breakfast at Grand Café de Foyer. One of us had the classic breakfast with fried eggs, bread, cold cuts and homemade jam and the other had the granola bowl with fresh fruit and Greek yogurt. Both were delicious! The homemade granola and jam especially stood out and gave everything a really personal, thoughtful touch. The atmosphere in the café is very cozy, with different seating levels, warm lighting and tasteful decor. It feels relaxed and welcoming and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout our visit. In the summer, you can also enjoy your food on the patio, overlooking Callantsoog town square. It’s a wonderful place to start the day in Callantsoog. We’ll definitely come back!

The food was delicious. The spareribs were delicious, as were the fries.

Ordered a small but sufficient breakfast (€10) with coffee, everything was excellent. Very friendly. Visiting with a dog was no problem. Thank you.

We waited 35 minutes despite ordering twice, and were ignored. Three tables that were occupied after us were served. Good service staff are in short supply in the Netherlands, too!

Update 10/4/25: Of course, a visit to Café "Le Foyer" was also planned for this vacation in Callantsoog. Nothing has changed: Very clean and bright café, enthusiastic and very friendly staff, and an absolutely delicious breakfast. The prices are moderate. ..................... A quaint, cozy café with the option of hot meals for lunch and dinner. Large selection of breakfast options, plentiful and delicious. A separate menu is available for lunch and dinner. The service is very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!!👍

We ate our first mussels here this year – fresh, delicious, and simply a delight! Thank you for the warm hospitality, we would love to come back.

Great place, delicious food, and excellent service. I'll definitely be back.

Super friendly and everything delicious 😋 Update September 2023, very animal-loving, fast service, and a great atmosphere 👍 Everything is still great in 2025 😉

We have breakfast here on every short break, and it's always delicious. The service is always super friendly and quick.

The young waitress was obviously either not interested in us or simply not at his job. No greeting, annoyed looks because we wanted a drink at 9 p.m. We've experienced this twice. Today we got up and left. We won't be back.

Very long wait... Kitchen and coffee OK.

Very long wait... Kitchen and coffee OK.

Anyone who wants a cocktail an hour before closing time can expect eye-rolling and annoyed glances at the clock. The same scenario happened during the day (10 minutes before dinner time) when we asked for the menu. Apparently, they no longer feel the need to be friendly to guests if you're going to spend a lot of money there. It's a shame; we left both times; we felt very unwelcome.

I waited an hour and a half for my meal, and the waitress was the rudest person I’ve ever met. Overall, I don’t recommend this place — I felt like they didn’t even want me there

We regularly enjoy a wonderfully relaxed lunch here. Delicious lunch dishes and friendly, hospitable service. The comfortable seating quickly immerses you in that holiday atmosphere.

The waffles are highly recommended. Everything was very tasty. The service was also very friendly.

The cheesecake doesn't taste as good as it used to. We regularly go to the "Foyer" for coffee and cheesecake. The recipe seems to have changed. It now tastes more like a quark cake, but no longer like an original cheesecake. It's a shame, but I hope it will change again. Hence my review. Otherwise, I highly recommend the "Foyer."

Prices OK Coffee OK My wife and I didn't like the apple pie at all. We love Dutch apple pie, and this one was even worse than the one we get in Germany. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. Not moist at all. Rather dry and lacking in flavor. It was almost impossible to eat without cream.

A certainty whenever we're in Callontsoog: consistently good quality, service, and cleanliness. 5 stars for this restaurant!

Our regular café on every Callantsoog vacation. The latte macchiato is delicious, and a special highlight is the glass of whipped cream and caramel that always comes with it. The service is very attentive and friendly. It's a shame our vacation is already over.

Always a great place to grab a bite to eat! Despite peak season, service is quick and efficient. Something for everyone on the menu. Highly recommended if you're in Callantsoog.

All three of us were completely satisfied and enjoyed a delicious birthday meal for our daughter in a cozy little corner, with super friendly service. Even a little musical interlude from the "cowboy" who came into the restaurant from the fair. 🥳🤠😂 Clear⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Very tasty food and friendly service. A bit more expensive overall, but definitely recommended due to the freshness and great taste.

Beautiful spot on the square in Callantsoog. Great, personal service, and always such a lovely dollop of whipped cream with your coffee. I love coming here during my cycling break!

Great lunch. Nothing special. Prefabricated. Fast and friendly service.

Warning!!! They serve you alcohol without knowing it! I ordered a coffee with "syrup," and instead of syrup, they served me liqueur. Luckily, my husband noticed in time. I was sitting there breastfeeding my child, but they should have at least pointed out that it wasn't syrup, but alcohol!!! A disgrace. I've been ordering coffee with syrup for years and have never received alcohol. That's completely unacceptable!! Edit: To the owner: Your waitress told us it was alcohol when we asked. We actually asked again after we were unsure.

Wonderful Grand Café I came here after the beach walk during the six-day beach event. You get a foot bath, towel, and socks. Also, a great atmosphere, top location.

It all took a very long time, and even our order was forgotten... Mediocre

little food for a high price, no pleasant atmosphere and staff / service is not friendly

We stopped by for breakfast after a short night's sleep after our arrival, as no other place was open yet. We ordered specialty coffees and Uitsmijter Met ham & Kaas (a smoky, smoky, and smoky cheese). We were also served coffee cream with whipped cream in a shot glass (delicious). The food arrived very quickly and filled us up nicely. You can sit comfortably outside, and it's also very nice inside.

The mussels and burgers were perfect, and the appetizer, Gamba's Pille Pille, was very tasty, even though it was more like shrimp. We were able to get a seat outside, but the inside is also very nice. We found the service very friendly and attentive. We'd be happy to come back.

We spontaneously found a spot here and ordered the daily special: Apple Grumble and Iced Coffee. Both were delicious and perfectly reasonable at €14.

Just cozy. Wine and beer with delicious bitterballen

Great atmosphere. Delicious food. Coffee is always served with a delicious drink with whipped cream. Friendly staff.

I recommend the restaurant. The food is tasty but the portion is small in relation to the price. Nicely served

Good restaurant in touristic Callantsoog, tosti ham, brie and melted cheese you can't get better anywhere!! Perfect pan of mussels, no sand and spot-on cooked! Foyer is recommended.

Our favorite terrace in Callantsoog. Super friendly service, and a nice view of the village square.

Just came here for a short afternoon break. The drink and food were nice. Baby friendly🥰 when my one year old girl started to cry, the waitress just came and provided a baby glass smoothie for calming her down.🙏

It's a lovely restaurant where I particularly enjoyed the fish dishes. The staff is very attentive and friendly. We've been coming here for many years, and each time we enjoy it a little more. THANK YOU!

The food is fine, but the service is a bit disappointing, an unfriendly young man, they don't make you feel welcome, the order is wrong, we have been coming here for years but we have never experienced it this bad, we are not giving up and will try another day, keep it up.

Love it. Everything's always top-notch. The service is a bit hit and miss, depending on the particular waitress—but 90% of them are super friendly. You always have the odd annoyed person.

Aardig personeel en gezellige ambiance in het restaurant. Op de menukaart is genoeg keuze uit verschillende gerechten.

We were there for dinner. Ordered burger, soup of the day (onion soup) and garlic bread. Service was prompt and very friendly. The food was also brought quite quickly. Onion soup is unfortunately very over-seasoned (glutamate), the style with toast and cheese is reminiscent of French onion soup, but doesn't come close in terms of taste. Garlic bread consisted of halved rolls with a touch of garlic butter, unfortunately not crispy and hardly any garlic flavor. Hamburger served on a plate with a paper base, just a small bowl of fries with mayo and barbecue sauce on the side - at this price you would have expected at least a side salad. Burger patty was good. Buns but not toasted. Top with onions like in onion soup (dark brown and mushy). Overall a disappointing visit, value for money is not right here.

On Easter Sunday we went to De Foyer for breakfast. The food we received in relation to the money you paid for it was a disappointment. It took a long time before we could order food, so we ended up walking to the bar to ask if we could order something, but the girl behind the bar looked at me as if she saw water burning. Previous experiences at De Foyer were better, but we had the feeling that the girls in the service had no experience.

Tonight with family for dinner there. As always, very tasty

Cold food yuck🤮 nice cold cheesecake
