IJgenweis eten & drinken Streekbos in Wijk 01

Beautiful surroundings. Delicious food. Nice terrace. Be sure to make a reservation for the restaurant.

Having a lovely lunch after a walk in the Streekbos. I am gluten-free and dairy-free. But actually, everything was possible, except for croquettes, but that is understandable. I ate a delicious "sandwich," read three pieces, of carpaccio with a patchwork view over the water. The service was also very friendly.

Perfect steak, and the rest too, by the way. I come here regularly and enjoy it very much.

Visited here by invitation. Beautiful spot outside the built-up area. Terrace by a recreational lake. Lots of greenery all around. Ample parking. Playground equipment and a small beach for the children.

Had a lovely walk and used a few things there.

The food is very good and the portions are more than generous. The view is stunning and the place is very cozy!

After a walk with the dog through the Streekbos, we sat lovely on the terrace. Tasty lunch, well prepared. Friendly staff.

The food was quite tasty, but a bit pricey. The value for money could have been better. However, there were plenty of vegetarian options and the service was excellent (communication in English was very good). The ambiance was also lovely. You sit right by the lake and can enjoy the view. The lake is also used for swimming.

Beautifully presented food, but it was very disorganized today. Tables were left uncleaned, and even when you sat down, they didn't clear them. You had to ask them to order yourself. Well, everyone has an off day sometimes.

Usually it was fine here, good food at least, though pricey. But generally, we received reasonably good service. But today, things went completely wrong on the ice cream side.... the restaurant said the ice cream side would open too, so we went there for soft serve ice cream... But all the tables and chairs were still locked. They themselves went to eat something tasty further down on the terrace with a team of three... and we sat on the ground eating our ice cream... and once again, there wasn't a trash can to be seen ... all in all, a bit of a shame.

The first time we went, we ordered food and beer. The food was quite tasty, except for the salad. It felt like the greens had been taken out of a bag without being washed, and they were bitter. The second time, we would have ordered a mojito (pictured), but it wasn't a mojito at all. For 9.5 euros, they brought us something with ginger and a modem flavor, the ingredients weren't listed on the menu. Our impressions were negative.

Today we had lunch in a beautiful setting with a nice terrace. The service was very friendly. Ordering did take a while, but we were in no rush. The pastrami sandwich was very tasty. Nicely served on paper. As a tip, I wouldn't do that. The paper tears when cutting, so you have to watch what you eat. The chicken thigh satay was flavorful but a bit sinewy. The apple pie with fresh whipped cream was very tasty.

Good coffee and fresh pastries are a given, but nowadays they aren't anymore.

The location is truly excellent. The service is very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, not all details of an order are noted. For example, a non-alcoholic beer was ordered as an alcoholic beer. If you arrive by car, this is absolutely unacceptable behavior from the staff.

Very nice to sit outside. Quality and price, super good.

Beautifully situated. Had a delicious meal. Nice to combine with the duck museum which is nearby.

Fine for a company outing. A bit lonely for private use.

Great location and good value for money too. Tasty chocolates!

Waiting 50 minutes for 4 portions of fries and a croquette...

Grumpy staff at the snack bar and way too long a wait. Then got a snack sandwich, but they were sold out and we didn't get any sauce. Absolutely ridiculous.

We wanted to grab a quick bite to eat. Instead, we ended up waiting an hour for fries and a cheese soufflé sandwich. The staff were bizarrely grumpy too. Not recommended!!

Had a super delicious meal. Fast and polite service. Top location!

It is often busy here. That says enough. Food is good, coffee and tea are good, and the service is good too.

Had a delicious meal!! Lovely walking area!

You make an agreement with the lady that you can order fries until 16:45. I arrive at 16:35, and the fryer has already been closed for 20 minutes.

I have eaten a lot of nachos everywhere, and these might be my favourite, 9,5/10 Service was a bit slow, but it was busy

Great service, beautiful facility!

The food is always delicious...nothing to complain about. My only downside is that the waitresses, with a tray full of boiling hot tea from a glass, hold it over the children's heads. Really, over them... when I ask them to please not hold the tray over the children, they look at me stupidly...it almost went wrong for them to grab it. I've experienced this three times already at IJgenweis. It's a real shame that other restaurants do think about this. Definitely something to point out to the staff.

I had a delicious meal here, beautifully situated in the forest, accessible to everyone, including dogs.

After a lovely walk through the Streekbos, we stopped by Ingenieus for a bite to eat. Absolutely fantastic!

We came to the Streekbos for a walk and also for a slightly belated lunch. We were warmly welcomed by our hostess. It was very busy (December 28, 2025), but she still found us a table for three. The staff came quickly to ask if we wanted drinks. The food menu wasn't extensive, but it offered a good variety. A satay plate with salad and a bowl of delicious fries with mayonnaise and a tasty satay sauce accompanied the grilled chicken satay. A deliciously composed dish. Surprisingly good restaurant! The service was excellent! We gave a tip.

Cozy lunch place with outdoor terrace

Great lunch, tasty tomato soup.

Great place. Also great for a cup of coffee with the dogs.

Good food, nice service, and beautiful surroundings

We ordered two chicken satays. The fries were incredibly greasy; even if you squeezed them a little, a lot of grease came out. The accompanying prawn crackers were also soft and chewy. New fries were delivered, which were better, but didn't deserve the "tasty and good" comment.

Ordered Carpaccio XXL to take away, good quality and delicious bread with it, definitely recommended

Unfortunately a bad experience. Dirty, already cleared, tables outside. Dirty napkins everywhere on the terrace. Waited for 20 minutes, made eye contact but no reaction. We left again, also no reaction there. It was not full, quite a few staff walking around. Too bad, years ago we had a nice meal. But with these prices you have to provide some kind of service

Remains a pleasant location along the water.

Nice quiet location and surroundings.

Very nice environment and delicious food

The xxl carpaccio plank is to lick your fingers, beautiful place on the water at the regional forest. Friendly staff, really recommended.

It was sunny and asked to put up the parasol. No problem Pleasant staff. Worth repeating!

It was really a surprise. I came from Ranzijn with my old neighbor and thought we could have lunch somewhere. Checking on Google and hoppetee there was the closest option. Nice parking lot and also a great wheelchair-friendly entrance. My neighbor really appreciated that. Nice welcome and what a wonderfully beautiful restaurant with a mighty terrace. The food was classy and the service perfect. I will definitely drive here again from Middenbeemster. Wonderful.

The food was very good. It took quite a while before the food order was taken, but the drinks were taken. It's just a shame that you get that nasty Pepsi mess when you specifically order Coca Cola Zero. I really didn't appreciate that.

while walking the dog, we enjoyed coffee and cake, and the dog received a delicious bowl of drinking water.

Always pleasant, friendly service, always busy, which says something about the quality of the food

Sunday afternoon, lovely sunshine, pleasantly busy, so nice on the terrace. Just after half past four, a waitress came to take the last round, because they close at five! While the terrace and inside were packed. Pay everyone and leave. Incredible! By the way, we weren't feeling well. A few annoying guests were constantly sailing back and forth across the lake. Next time we will go somewhere else!

Had a nice lunch with my grandson. It was fun in IJgenweis, busy with people of all ages. Delicious fries with frikandel 😋. And of course we had a lovely walk and played in the Streekbos. Beautiful weather was a real gift today and the Streekbos is nice and close and a beautiful area to be outside

Nice place, tasty food and friendly staff. It can get too busy so booking is needed. They have a beautiful terrace. Highly recommended for lunch or drinks.

Super cozy restaurant in a beautiful location.

Good catering facility. Excellent parking. Smooth staff. Bouncer was fine. 👌 The view over the water there is beautiful in every season.

Today we wanted to have lunch here, it was very busy but we found an empty table, we had just settled in when an employee informed us that the table had been reserved at 12:30. She quickly put up a reservation sign and we were able to make do with that. She immediately walked away, so we decided to leave as there were no tables available. We will never come back here again, what poor service. Our advice: stay away from here if the weather is nice!

Good restaurant. Only not open in the evening!!

Delicious food, beautiful location. Record reservations clearly! Update 2024. Delicious food, beautiful location. No reservations, it was quite busy, luckily there was room. The chicken burger was very tasty.

Friendly staff. Beautiful view over the water and the Streekbos park. Ideal for recreation.

The warm goat cheese salad was well filled with different complementary flavors. Just the way I like it. I would have liked something smaller and cheaper. Nice place, except when it's busy. Then it's just like a chicken coop. Maybe something can be done with that in terms of acoustics 😊

Delicious lunch Excellent service In a beautiful location

Super tasty food, even for a gluten-free eater like me, the brownie was delicious!! Very friendly staff. It was really nice and a nice location to sit.

Very cozy place. Delicious food and good friendly service.

Nice shop, had to wait a long time for the food, but it was well worth it.

Allws what we took was great, service good and friendly employees

It's just a shame that there is terrible chatter among the staff

I went for a cup of tea and cake, it is lovely to sit outside with a beautiful view.

Cosy, beautiful location, good food.

Delicious food in a beautiful location and pleasant staff

Everything fine but noisy. Some noise reduction would be nice.

Always tasty, cozy, good service

Delicious tapas platter with all kinds of delicacies, highly recommended.

Had a delicious meal and sat outside on the terrace. Very good and neat service.

good food but small portions. the carpaccio bowl was really huge.

Good knowledge of English and super tasty food for a reasonable price. Absolutely recommended!

Amazing steak with a good salad. The place is really beautiful and green. I recommend 👌 👏

Seen a foreign boy inappropriately in the stubborn snack bar before. Anyway, now that I ordered fries, everyone got them before me and quickly turned off the fryer while he was eating fries himself. I got my money back from the girl he worked with, but the boy was extremely unprofessional. No tent to ever spend a cent on again!!!! The restaurant, on the other hand, is super neat and hospitable!

We were served at a table around 13 today, we wanted to sit inside without being taken into account by drafts, we could choose the table, the food and drinks were very good and the service was fast. We come by more often. It is highly recommended, fam sikking

Sitting comfortably in a beautiful place

It is a nice place in a beautiful place with good food. However, a vacuum cleaner could be run through the shop and into the corners more often. And a cloth over the tables.

Dirty terrace Staff seems blind People on the terrace think they are at the campsite

It was fun and the help was good

Sitting comfortably. Nice food...nice place.

Great service, beautiful location and the XXL carpaccio is our favorite!

Cozy and beautiful environment. When the weather is nice it is a beautiful location with boats and swimmers. Very cosy

Food was good, service could be a bit more attentive.

Big party with about 60 people. In the 3 hours I was there... I was offered a drink twice. Even if I go to the bar to ask for a drink, they send me back to my table and say that someone will come by there. It's bloody hot inside, but getting a drink is a big problem!! Don't throw parties here!!

a beautiful and cozy atmosphere on the Waterfront of the regional forest... delicious products... and you can eat here... the service is fast and with a smile with nice ladies

We had to wait for lunch for over an hour, I asked 3 times can I take paracetamol, I'm pregnant! Unfortunately we left without lunch!

A really nice location. Lovely terrace on the water. And also nicely decorated inside. The atmosphere is good. Delicious special coffees and the home-made monchou cake 😋

A nice place to grab a cup of coffee

Nice location, great service, delicious food!

Very on the expensive side, you almost have to be a Rockefeller to eat there

Very good food, steak sandwich was tasty. Nice and red and juicy. Friendly staff.

We had a marvelous lunch here. Staff is great and very helpful when it comes to questions regarding ingredients. The taste of the food is great. (Not a salad fan, but finished also the side salad 😄 which says it all)

Nice location on the water with plenty to see

Upon arrival it was not clear whether we could choose our own place or whether a place would be assigned to us. So we waited a while. Even though several employees saw us, no contact was made with us. Then we asked ourselves if we could sit somewhere. Drinks came quickly, but to order the food we had to get an employee ourselves to order (they were quite busy chatting with each other). When ordering, we indicated that we wanted our daughter's pizza with the starter and her poffertjes with the main course. Unfortunately this didn't work, because the poffertjes came with our starter...... Paying was difficult again, because no one came. We wanted to take some things home with us, so we had to declare it at the bar ourselves and then receive a container in which we had to put it in ourselves. We did not get the idea that the girls wanted to work for their money.

Great restaurant. In a nice location.

Nice location to sit on the terrace when the weather is nice

We came here to celebrate my grandmother's birthday. Made a cup of coffee or tea. Unfortunately, this did not go very smoothly. Family members were spread over two long tables. One table received their coffee or tea quite quickly, the other table had to wait quite a long time for it. In round number 2, a table was even completely skipped with the order. Even after asking several times. Several family members approached the staff to report that something was not going well. When round number 3 was offered, we indicated that round number 2 had not even happened yet. We thought this was very sloppy. Staff indicated that this was due to the equipment... sorry, but you cannot blame the equipment for that. Then start the old-fashioned way with a notepad and a pen?? But no. Later with the snacks things went quite smoothly and things seemed to be going well. All in all mixed feelings.

Nice location, good coffee, tasty food. Quite pricey.

Delicious food, beautifully presented and nice atmosphere

Nice tent back room a bit cramped seating
