Halve Maan in Dokkum

Wonderful and delicious food. They have a very wide selection of drinks, and especially a fantastic beer menu for beer lovers. The open-air terrace ambiance is something else entirely on a nice day. Friendly staff. Although the service is a little slow, it's quite good compared to the rest of the Netherlands. Would we go again? Absolutely. Would we change our route to go here? Absolutely. Especially on nice days.

Had a delicious meal by the water. Friendly staff.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Absolutely great.

I come from elsewhere, but have been visiting Dokkum regularly for many years for an extensive walk and lunch. A beautiful, atmospheric town with an enormous variety of shops, due to its clear regional function. Countless beautiful historic buildings. A guided city walk (in person, on paper, or digital) is therefore well worth the effort. I enjoy having lunch at Restaurant Halve Maan on the Diepswal, such as: * Carpaccio on a brown bun. Excellent! * Lunch (choice of composition). Excellent! * Everything clean and tidy, as is the restroom. * Nice atmosphere and cozy decor. * Correct and fast service. * The terrace on the Koftjalk right in front of the restaurant on the Groot Diep is very special. I can recommend a visit Ed Jansen

For lunch on the "boat terrace" there was a large selection of delicious dishes and beer - we opted for a salmon roll and a pulled chicken roll and two different beers (including the beer from Dokkum)... very tasty!

My girlfriend and I were going for drinks after all the glowing reviews. Just to escape Leeuwarden for a bit. After choosing a spot, I walked inside, whereupon some hardcore / gabber-like guy pushed me aside with brute force. He mumbled something in Russian and walked on quickly (in his tracksuit). After asking the staff, I was told that it was the chef(?) Fried snacks were cold, the beer was good, and the service was friendly. Shame about the incident.

A friendly bar with an excellent beer list. There is a terrace overlooking the canal

The place in Dokkum for a cozy beer! With an extensive beer menu, there is something for everyone. You can enjoy drinks on the terrace, and it is also very cozy inside. The snacks to accompany your drinks are perfect too. You almost forget that it is also a restaurant. The food is fine, the spareribs are delicious. But definitely don't forget to order a Paix Dieu Nova or a Bon Secours!

Beautiful spot with a view of the water, where you can also sit on the boat and have a drink. Quite a diverse beer menu.

Sea bass and spare ribs are highly recommended Nice place to sit

Had a lovely time on the boat terrace! Had a great lunch!

We had extremely poor service outside on the ship this evening. Communication between colleagues was terrible. One colleague couldn't take our drink order, but calling another colleague over was apparently not an option. Because of this, we had to wait a long time. Furthermore, no one came to our table to ask if everything was to our liking regarding food and drinks. The staff came back three times to tell us that what we had ordered was not available. Eventually, we went for the bar snacks, but specifically without the bami disc. That was absolutely not an option. "The bami disc will be added," they said. While we were ordering, another colleague just interrupted the colleague who was helping us. Because of this, it didn't feel personal at all. When paying the bill, no one asked if everything was to our liking either. The staff's attitude was also terrible. Afterwards, we went to the neighbors at Aristiante; we had a much better time there. You won't see us back there again :)

Better food than the Ice Inn. Had a great evening.

After spending a whole morning looking for shells along the dike, my son (4) settled down comfortably on the cushioned benches. He was served so nicely by the waitress that he wanted to come back the very next day. Eventually, he even wanted to place his own orders, because he felt completely at home. We had a delicious meal and drinks — and to my son's great delight, the same spontaneous waitress was there again. (Who made a very welcoming impression on all the other customers anyway) Happy son = happy me 😊 Greetings from Yvar (and his father)

Great restaurant right on the canal.

Especially when the boat terrace is open again, it's absolutely fantastic. Great food and delicious beers.

Delicious cappuccino with apple pie

Delicious food, fast service and a cozy restaurant

My experience at this location was generally very positive. The environment is well-organized and gives a professional impression from the very first moment. The staff interacted with visitors in a respectful and helpful manner, which contributes to a pleasant atmosphere. Everything went smoothly and without unnecessary delays. The location feels reliable and well-maintained, so I can definitely recommend it to others.

Cozy cafe, friendly staff and delicious food :)

Nice cozy pub with 13 delicious different draft beers

100+ beers in stock, 13 of which are on tap Friendly service and good atmosphere in a cozy pub. If I lived in Dokkum, this would definitely be my regular pub

Having Delirium directly from tap while on a boat in a canal, nothing better.

Friendly service and fast service with a smile and just in fries😉

The service we experienced on the ship's terrace was poor. The waitress didn't look up or around to see if there were any new guests. We waited over 15 minutes before she even started making her rounds to take orders. She had already brought drinks to other tables in the meantime. I also worked, but she didn't respond. Even when you wanted to pay, she didn't see you. You're not treated like a guest. I eventually went inside myself, but I paid and didn't say anything. She apologized a thousand times while she was on her smartphone. She hadn't seen us... phew.

We ate satay there tonight. It was dry, and the satay sauce tasted more like putty. Our neighbors behind us had the same problem. They kind of laughed it off. Too bad. Probably leftover food from the previous Sunday. We won't be eating there again. The beers were very good, though. The extra portion of fries we ordered was also fine. But hey, that's not what you come here for.

We had lunch from a lunch menu with typical dishes like mustard soup, sandwiches, and meat croquettes with fries. The service was fast and friendly. The outdoor area on a ship was lovely.

Delicious food, good service and delicious beer

Pleasant outdoor setting, attentive staff and cuisine with good portions and good quality ingredients.

Comfortable seating, smooth service

Delicious food and great service!

Quaint restaurant, friendly staff, good food 🥗🍲, delicious beer 🍺 We loved it 😃

My recommendation for good food, appropriate service in a special ambience....the portions are considerable

The girls are dangerous, the food is great, the beer gives you a headache, the scenery is amazing, all praise.

Wat een mooie plek om op de boot De Tromp te borrelen. En wat een prima bediening. Zeer vriendleijk en het proces van bestellen en bezorgen verloopt uitstekend. Daar kunnen veel horecagelegenheden van leren. Prachtige bierkaart, een link naar de Halve Maan van Brugge is snel gemaakt. Ook het gebak en de flat white was uitstekend. Al met al een toplocatie.

The Fish Salad for lunch disappointed me. Lots of cheap curly lettuce, slivers of salmon and small pieces of mackerel (some strips of cucumber, capers, sauce). Two thin slices of baguette with it. The total was not in proportion to the price €15,= ++

Good nachos.....a bit less authentic due to the lack of salsa; Vietnamese sweet/sour, is tasty, but... Otherwise tasty with chicken on it.

Thank you, we would love to come back

Delicious food, comfortable seating and great service

Wat leuk om als toerist om op een boot te zitten en daar te lunchen in het zonnetje. We hebben beide een mosterdsoep gegeten en die was heerlijk! Altijd zo jammer dat wanneer je wil betalen zo moet zoeken naar iemand bij wie je kunt betalen. En dan vervolgens wordt verteld dat we naar binnen moeten lopen om daar te betalen. We moesten daarbij ons tafelnummer doorgeven. Dit zou toch anders kunnen.

We ate well. We can recommend both the burger and the bread. We sat outside in a corner protected from the wind. I liked that the non-alcoholic beer tasted good.

Could be so much better, beer way out of date. They resolved it nicely. Friendly staff. The menu mentions wrap with boiled chicken and avocado. Avocado is in the form of a nasty spread, such a shame. Then mention that it is a spread. As mentioned, so much could be better.

Nice beer café with tasty lunch options.

The season ended wonderfully with the volleyball team Nice city, nice restaurant. Nice service. Eating and drinking extensively 👌

Tasty lunch dishes and friendly service.

Sitting outside on a boat in the sun is great. Eating is good. Unfortunately I couldn't adjust my 12 hours. I don't like croquettes, so I prefer salmon instead of croquettes. It is often a few euros more expensive (no problem of course) but unfortunately this was not possible at this location

Recommended. Also very nice in the evenings!

Aanrader!! Vriendelijk personeel, lekker eten en voor de bierliefhebbers een must! En dan die boot, echt een aanwinst voor mooi Dokkum!

Nice place to have a drink! Beautiful terrace on a boat, nice service, quick help and excellent advice! Invites you to have dinner too! 👌🏻

Delicious food & drinks. Nice atmosphere!

Fun historic place inside, or on the boat outside. Delicious coffee and lunch.

Waren im August 2024 mit unserer 7-jährigen Tochter dort. Vor allem das Ambiente hat uns gefallen. Es war sehr fein auf einem Schiff zu speisen. Wir haben auch gut gegessen, ich hatte die Spareribs. Das Bier war sehr gut und man konnte Biere aus der Region verkosten. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit!

Busy and fun. Food too expensive for what you get.

The food was delicious, it is a cozy place to sit in the sun on the boat, you see many people passing by on the water, the service was a little less at our time because we had to wait a long time for a menu and many people who After us we were served earlier, but all in all everything was fine! Definitely highly recommended

I almost never give a bad review, but when I came to this restaurant with my wife, who has difficulty walking and has pain when sitting, the toilet was up two flights of stairs. She had to go to the staff toilet at the Posthoorn. When we sat outside on the boat, on the plastic chairs, my wife quickly started to feel pain. There were cushions inside, but after an explanation of her condition we were still unable to get them outside, because that was simply not allowed. So we give a big thumbs up to people who have a disability, so we went to the Posthoorn, where we got several pillows, nice service and delicious food.

Good food for this price, nice location on board ship. Less beautiful inside.

Not hospitable, not helpful and little effort to offer guests a place. After a short snarl from the employee, we walked on to t' Raedhus. Nicer places, more choice on the menu, extremely friendly service.

Nice terrace on the boat. Nachos large portion with lots of cheese Not clear what the price of the beers is

Koffie was filterkoffie en de kroketten waren niet warm en niet geweldig lekker. Wel fijn op het schip in het kanaal gezeten.

Mijn vrouw had varkenshaas saté besteld, toen zij die kreeg en doorsneed was deze gortdroog, niet te eten. We hebben het terug gestuurd waarna een manager naar ons kwam en vroeg wat er niet goed was, uitgelegd waarop zij zei dat de kok had gezegd dat het prima was en hij het altijd zo maakt. Nou dan is het alleen maar erger…. Snel hier voorbij lopen, ga naar de Waag, daar is het prima eten met fijne bediening!

(Didn't eat) just had a nice iced coffee. Fast and friendly service. Beautiful view from the Tromp boat

Great place to dine. The service is fast and the employees are friendly.

In a beautiful location in the center of picturesque Dokkum.

Unfortunately we had to wait a long time for our food and it wasn't good enough for the price.

What was a very hospitable experience two years ago, July 16, 2024 was anything but. No menu was offered; so we grabbed one copy from another table. We were not asked if we had made a choice or were ready to order. Once, after having someone to order the food myself, the meal was very disappointing. The club sandwich was not as described on the menu; (two ingredients were missing) when we asked the waiter about this, the response was; oh that's a printing error.. Subsequently the table was not cleared. I walked to the bar to pay, but there too I was not asked whether I had enjoyed it or whether any action had been taken to clear it out. Everything but a hospitable service-oriented experience. Which is not the fault of one person, because there were several ladies active in the ministry at that time. Next time we will pass Half Moon.

Relax on the boat terrace on a windy afternoon

Iconic restaurant in the city. Good location on the Canal. Served by beautiful waitresses, very gentle and cordial. The food is excellent 👌 and the apple pie is exquisite.

Location! The best place in Dokkum; terrace on a boat in the canal. What else do you want?

Recently ordered iced coffee here. It was just lukewarm water and didn't taste like coffee. Asked if we could get something else because it was really undrinkable. We were told they always made it this way. Finally, after indicating once again that it was really not tasty, we were able to get a discount.

Conviviality and good food for a normal price

The ambience on the ship was nice, but the burger wasn't anything special for the price. There was also only a small bowl of French fries and an even smaller bowl of salad. We were very disappointed. Positive: There is a large selection of beers.

It was very tasty, just a bit loud.

The patio boat is a great idea. You have a beautiful view over the water. The food and drinks are fine and the service is also excellent.

Great seating on the ship 👍🏻 and quick service. Unfortunately the food was a bit too cold and definitely not enough on the plate!!!!!! The satay sauce was deliciously spicy.

Short stopover on the way to Ameland. Yummy cake

Slechte service: erg lang wachten en niet of nauwelijks communiceren over de wachttijd Vissalade zeer weinig vis…geen garnalen bijvoorbeeld

Had a lovely meal outside and drank a beer from our own brokerage. Beautiful view over the water. Pleasant service. Tables on the boat are a bit shaky, so be careful. But definitely recommended if you are in Dokkum.

Beer lovers should note this place. The selection is huge.

Wonderful beer and the best fries in Bruges. The Carbonades cooked in their own beer are really good. The cheese croquettes are also wonderful.

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, good service, had a wonderful evening out.

Nice place to have a drink and eat.

We had the beef stew, salad and fries. We didn't like it. The stew was 1 lump of beef with fat and it was lukewarm. The salad seemed to have been thrown out of a bag with some sauce on top. There was nothing through it. With the fries it seemed that half of them had been fried for the second time, so they were full of fat, in short, not worth repeating.

Rilassante bevuta di birra post-cena in questo piacevole locale. Personale cortese e spesa onesta..

Here you can really enjoy delicious food, especially the satay is recommended.

Very good food (steak and spare ribs) and a great selection of beers

Saté was ondefinieerbaar. Te gaar en hard. Bediening slecht. Meer oog voor telefoon dan voor gasten. Burger en friet waren lekker

The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and invites you to relax. Unfortunately you will be disappointed with the food. Far too high prices for small meals. The burger is tasty, but thinly topped. The ribs were convincing, the Wiener Schnitzel is more of an appetizer. The salad is from a bag from the supermarket, which is pretty poor considering the prices. The supposed side dish, fries and salad with every main meal, was omitted twice and could have been ordered as an extra portion. So I wouldn't recommend this locally, if anyone gets lost in there, take the ribs, you won't go wrong with that.

Cozy terrace on the deck of a ship. This is certainly a plus when the weather is nice. Friendly service and excellent cappuccino.

Waardeloze bediening waren niet de enige die weg gelopen zijn. Ze kijken je niet eens aan en na een kwartier nog niks te drinken, terwijl er bijna niemand op heg terras zat

Nice spot, recommended to sit on the boat. Spare ribs recommended, good portions. The disadvantage is that smoking is allowed and that was used...

Net lekker gegeten met mijn zoontje op de boot. Goede service goed eten. En een fooi gegeven voor goeie eten. We komen spoedig weer. Bedankt

Cappuccino met appeltaart. Hier zijn ze beiden van goede kwaliteit. Appeltaart smeuïg maar wel met afzonderlijke stukjes appel (geen prut), smaakvol en krokant deeg. Goede appeltaart is een schaars goed, komen we achter. Maar hier kun je gerust appeltaart bestellen.

De locatie aan het water, op een boot, is erg gezellig. We genoten voor de tweede keer van een zogenaamd "12-uurtje" ... heerlijk !!! Eerder ook al meermaals koffie met oranjekoek daar genuttigd. Een vast adresje als we op vakantie zijn in Friesland. Goed, gezellig en betaalbaar.

Cafetería preciosa situada en un barco en el canal. Tienen una gran variedad de cervezas y las cosas de picoteo que tienen son deliciosas como los Natxos, merece la pena probarlos. Siempre que vamos a Dokkum nos gusta visitarlo.

Top service! Snelle bediening en goed eten. Wij komen zeker vaker.

We had a nice lunch here. Very cosy, friendly staff.

Het is zo gezellig, smaakt ook goed! Snelle bediening en vriendelijke bezorgers. Echt een aanrader! Peace✌️

Lekker gegeten en mooie omgeving. Dokkum is een leuk stadje om een namiddag te vertoeven.

Lekker gegeten aan het water! Leuk

We zijn 's avonds met z'n 4en gaan dineren. Vooraf tafel gereserveerd, was goed gegaan. 4x biefstuk en als toetje 2x tiramisu ijs en 2x chocolotine ijs. Het eten was super. Biefstukje iets teveel door gebakken (hadden medium besteld) maar de smaak was goed. Binnen (beneden) waren er niet veel zitgelegenheden. Dat is op zich jammer, want de bar is best dominant aanwezig. Voor de rest een top locatie.
