La Place in Wijk 03 Bodegraven Zuid

Excellent place to grab a drink or a bite to eat while you are on the road.

Two coffees and a pastry, €17🙈.

Tasty fried egg sandwich and good coffee.

Had a delicious meal, it was very good

I find 4.50 for a ready-made cappuccino from a vending machine very excessive. It is a nice place to work or study though.

Fortunately, another good roadside restaurant on my way along the A12 to the west of the country.

I have rarely encountered such customer-unfriendly people. When asked if there was a choice in bread, white or brown, the answer was: No, then you simply won't get an order from us if you don't want white bread. Fine then.

What a disappointment. We thought we'd grab a nice bite to eat during a long journey. But dried-out chicken leg and tough steak are far from tasty :( Truly a shadow of its former glory, too. Not a single seat without stains!

A bit of mixed feelings.....the food is fine...but with a bit of a struggle...at 10 to 6 on Friday afternoon there are no sandwiches, the soup is gone, the chicken menu is sold out, the salad bar is almost empty, cutlery, plates, trays and soup bowls are a bit wet and dirty......and to top it all off, our menu isn't being prepared, so we have to ask for it again...seems a bit like unmotivated or chaotic atmosphere among the staff......we weren't used to this, very disappointing for such a good chain as La Place.....

Friendly staff, nice renewed interior, good acoustics. The pizza was nothing to write home about, I ordered a Serrona, but got a very flat and burnt Margaret with barely 3 pieces of serrano ham and 4 leaves of rucola. Would come again, but not for pizza.

Toilets are free here, but the food arrangements are different.

The staff here look like they aren't really in the mood. Sparsely topped sandwiches, but that's the case at other branches too. So not surprised. Definitely not sensory-friendly. Hard floor and constant scraping of chairs. High-pitched sounds. Enough to drive you crazy.

I ate a hamburger with fries two weeks ago. The hamburger really wasn't good and the fries were decent. I went again on Saturday and at 7:00 PM a lot of the menu items were no longer available. The steak was edible, but the fried potatoes were like rubber. I won't be eating there again for the time being.

Delicious coffee, friendly staff

A great La Place in a convenient location. I haven't experienced it being extremely busy here yet, so you can always find a nice spot to sit. I have occasionally worked from this La Place on my laptop. The Wi-Fi connection is also excellent here. The staff is nice and friendly. And... I keep coming back for the cream cheese and chive sandwiches.

Stopped at this La Place for a quick lunch to to ear off of the highway. Easily accessible and there is plenty of parking all around. Food: It has the typical La Place food available, I got a classic burger with fries, was made fresh and a heavy portion of fries with it (so much that I could not finish it). Their soups are also okay and tasty. The desert left room for improvement, as it was quite dry and no filling within their tart. Ammenties: They have free bathroom, and it was somewhat clean. They have new Dyson washer/dryer nozzles, so careful when drying your hand after washing it as it blasts the soapy water everywhere. Parking: Plenty of free parking upfront of the place.

Coffee with cheese cubes, sauce rolls were still in the because that kekkerder

Delicious food, really worth going here, super friendly staff and super tasty pizzas, the pizza was perfectly baked

I wasn't expecting a culinary highlight, but the choice was fries and satay. The satay sauce was in a pan with a thick crust already stuck to the sides. I was supposed to have salad, but lettuce was nowhere to be found. The grilled vegetables looked drained, dried out, and above all, unappetizing, so I skipped them. And then you pay almost 20 euros for your plate of food...nope, no luck. I'm happy to pass.

Pffff...no offense to the staff who try, but what a glorious sight this restaurant is. A very poorly maintained parking lot and rotten wooden planks, next to a hotel that appears to be rented by the hour and an adjacent casino...these were already red flags...but I gave it a try anyway. I ended up with chicken satay and fries...but to charge 18.95 for a pathetic, urgent chicken thigh satay and a plate of fries...oh yeah, we were also allowed a salad...no lettuce, just opened and mostly blackened vegetables, some lukewarm potatoes, and a pitiful pile of spinach... I get it, it's not a luxury Michelin-starred restaurant, but for this paltry mess of food, every euro is too much...you'd probably get fresher food at the McDonald's next door. This is definitely the last time I'll try La Place...go to the gas station for a quick bite...same (or not) quality, but much cheaper!

Great lunch. The food is always good at LP. However, it's still a roadside diner. Little atmosphere and, of course, self-service. Nothing wrong with that.

I'm used to a bit more from La Place. Burned out after lunch??

A poorly filled, dry tuna salad sandwich, and a tough ham sandwich. It had probably been drying out and becoming tough all morning.

I just went to the neighbors with the yellow M from the misery. Everything was cold

Two small cappuccinos + two regular slices of apple pie with nuts and a dollop of whipped cream. I was asked to pay €19.50 and suddenly felt a slump. If I'm going to get screwed, I'd like to do it another way.

Large open space with beautiful seating. Delicious fresh sandwiches.

This place is very beautiful, compared to other plazas. We liked it very much. The surroundings are very nice, spacious, airy, and peaceful. It has a fireplace; I find it romantic. There is also a children's play area.

Great rest stop, the Germans could take a leaf out of their book! 😂🥳

The staff is friendly. The food is decent. From the outside, it gives a rather unkempt impression. A bit faded. I had to search for a clean soup bowl and spoon. Yuck.

It was pretty quiet....during 4am..

The quality is very high. We enjoyed the pizza and chicken.

Nice and warm inside and delicious food.

Tasty, healthy food and lots of choices. I would highly recommend La Place if you’re passing by.

Great place for a quick but tasty bite

A super nice and spacious place with old-fashioned service and delicious fresh lunches, etc. It's also beautifully and cozy decorated for the holidays! A great place to enjoy a drink next to the highway. Easy parking right outside, including disabled parking.

One coffee and one cappuccino cost €8.10! And that's for a lukewarm cup/cappuccino. I'll definitely avoid it next time.

Great atmosphere, too bad they weren't stocked. I especially love the dark chocolate milk and the marinated chicken sandwich with bean sprouts. So I opted for the classic hamburger, which was very good. Other reviews complain about the quality of the wok dishes and the vegan options. I think La Place excels at what it stands for. If you want a top-notch wok dish, go to a wok restaurant or takeaway, but you won't have the ambiance of La Place.

Friendly service, the place is not cheap but always good quality food

Good price-quality ratio and also a very nice cashier, she gets a 10 from me

Very pleasant atmosphere, friendly service. A decent breakfast for a reasonable price. And you can taste that the homemade apple fritters are made with love. Definitely use the app; you can easily save up for free coffee or food.

Great team, everything very clean and tidy! Highly recommended for a nice breakfast if you're on the A12.

A large and necessary station for "adults," but without a shower? To...with a place like this

Incredibly friendly people, food, and atmosphere. Warm fireplace...wonderful.

Excellent parking! Everything you need is there: a VIP toilet, water can be found at a gas station, a store is 2.6 km away, you can walk. In general, everything is super!!!

Nice for a stopover with good cuisine.

Where is the shower? 🚿 Can anyone tell me?

Perhaps the best parking in the Netherlands. On weekdays, there are no spaces after 6:00 PM, and on weekends, it's only half full. Showers and toilets are free, and the food in the restaurant and service are top-notch!

I find the prices quite high, soup for €7....

It's getting more and more expensive. I go to McDonald's for coffee. The pea soup is delicious, though.

I got a wok noodles. Wish I did’t. It looked like a teenage student made it. There was barely any vegetables,the noodles were too many or poorly mixed, the broccoli they had on display was probably only for display since I found so little in the dish itself. Next time, get a satè. My partner had that and it looked and tasted good.

You know it's fresh and delicious.

Delicious pea soup and very helpful in bringing my soup to the table because I walk with a stick👍👍👍

There were few vegan options, and when I asked if they'd make a sandwich with hummus and grilled vegetables, they reacted grumpily, saying the hummus was for something else. 🙁 But I got a steak tartare sandwich (vegan) with butter. Hopefully, it was plant-based butter. Not a pleasant experience, and it's a shame they don't consider vegan guests very well.

Great food, nice and quiet place.

Unfortunately, we ate at La Place on Saturday. Expensive for chicken satay (gross) with fries and a salad bar that was half empty for more than a day. My partner had a chicken leg that was so dry it had probably been sitting there all day. We won't be back. It's a shame, as La Place was always good.

Very nice location and very friendly staff

Always fun and tasty to have a breakfast

Just had wok at La Place in Bodegraven. Absolutely delicious! Compliments Omar.

The food is very expensive. Around 7 euros for a baguette and a drink is also around 4 euros. The food is good and everything is well-prepared, but very expensive.

An average diner with very friendly staff. The food is decent, but not exactly cheap.

We had the wok with prawns. Unfortunately, the prawns were few and far between, and the rest was just noodles and carrots. It's a shame there were no vegetables, and the flavor was also lacking. Very pricey for this disappointing meal!

Nothing but praise. Everything was perfect!

The food is good, but I have one comment: I had the noodles with chicken thigh, which contained whole cloves of garlic, and the overall flavor was mostly garlic, which made the dish okay but not great. The soup and bread were fresh and excellent, as were the muffins. The prices are reasonable for the quality, and I can't fault them. The toilet gate is broken, making it easy to walk past, which shouldn't be the case. The hotel appears to be a reception center for the COA (Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers), but we haven't noticed anything of this so far. There is ample parking. The restaurant is nicely decorated with a hair dryer, which creates a more homey atmosphere. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Some additional navigation signs from the A12 exit from The Hague would be nice, but the music in the toilets is good.

Fast internet. Food could be tastier. And prices are different. Anyway, good for a meeting. Business lunch. Peaceful for work. There is also a hotel nearby 🏨

The quality itself is good but not really special

Great place to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea with something tasty! Nice staff.

The food in the display cases all looks well-prepared. It's quite tempting to choose something. We had a veggie burger with fries and a cheeseburger with fries. We were given an alarm, and when it went off, our food was ready. The fries were fresh and well-cooked. The cheeseburger was perfectly cooked and generously topped with lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Then there was some sauce on top. The price is too high. It should definitely be reduced by at least 3 euros. The veggie burger was tasty. It's otherwise quiet, but that's probably also due to the hotel becoming a reception center. All in all, everything is quite expensive. To keep it accessible, the price could be lowered a bit.

Sandwiches were delicious as always.

Cozy restaurant, only had coffee and it tasted very good, highly recommended.

A very cozy restaurant. Unfortunately, the prices remain very high. Delicious coffee!

A terrible experience. From a distance, it looks nice and tasty, but the tables and restrooms are extremely dirty. The food is extremely disappointing. The fries, for example, are soggy and unsalted. The burgers and salads are disappointing and not at all like the pictures. Only the strawberry and raspberry smoothies were really good. The banana and lime smoothie was really disgusting. It looked like it had gone bad. When we pointed this out to the staff, we were told, "It has lime in it, so it's sour," but what we tasted was definitely not lime. We're definitely not McDonald's fans, but we certainly could have had a better meal there.

The food here is fine, just a bit expensive, but then again, so are all LA places. The toilet, which you had to pay for, was extremely filthy; I've never smelled such a foul odor. Half the toilets also didn't have a door handle, so that's a bit of a relief. So, if you really need to pee, don't do it here!

Faded glory... old and dirty. Apple pie was perfectly acceptable.

The meat was burnt around the edges, the salads were almost gone, and what was left didn't look very appetizing anymore. The meat wasn't very tasty either, a bit tough.

Good for a stopover, unfortunately, we have to pay to use the restroom. It's outrageous that visitors who need some useful salts should be able to use it for free. So, we'd rather keep driving from now on.

It's great to be able to choose your own dishes and then pay for them yourself. Great to get it done quickly!

Friendly staff. Good food with more than enough variety.

Everything I ate was delicious! Special thanks to the staff! Very friendly! Everything is just wonderful!

Delicious food, great service, and a clean space! The space is also nice and quiet and very spacious.

The food was very good. A pasta dish with shrimp. The service in the kitchen and at the cash register was friendly. Definitely recommended. For a roadside restaurant, 10 out of 10.

We had a delicious lunch here. Everything looked neat and tidy. We'll definitely be back.

I like the concept and the food is great. But everyone's always just running around with their heads cut off. And the checkout always takes ages. And there aren't nearly as many toppings as there used to be, but they're much more expensive.

It's just not quite right, at least not for us.

After a long drive on July 4th, I wanted to have a quiet meal at La Place. To my great surprise, the wok and pizza bar was already closed at 7:00 PM. Really bizarrely early for a restaurant that was still open. There was literally only a burger and fries to choose from. Man, man, what “service”. As if you were at a gas station along the highway instead of a catering establishment. What made it even weirder: while I was told that the wok was closed, I saw an employee still frying a wok dish. So apparently it is possible, but just not for me? Customer friendliness is hard to find. I won’t be coming back here anytime soon.

We arrived at 19:30. The wok was already closed and we were not allowed to order pizza anymore. The salad bar was half full and the staff really did not feel like making anything else. I had ordered the chicken satay menu and I only got one stick with 1 tablespoon of scraped out peanut sauce. And that for €18.50! Isn't that outrageous? We hoped to end the evening with our team but this was really a disappointment

No consideration for egg allergy in pastries, no cards with allergen in pastries, staff dependent, allergy card, takes too much time, otherwise, good vegan soup.

Disappointing experience, used to be much better Unfortunately, our recent visit was quite disappointing. There are a lot of young staff walking around, but proper management seems to be completely lacking. The food was put on the plates with bare, oil and grease smeared hands and even handed to me like that. Not exactly a fresh sight. There was so much oil on the edge of the plate that I had to go to the toilet to wash my hands. In addition, we had to wait more than 40 minutes for two simple hamburgers with some limp fries. Afterwards it turned out that the hamburger had been ready for at least 10 minutes, while there was no question of a big crowd. The quality was downright mediocre and the prices are no longer in proportion: €1.20 for a small bag of mayonnaise and ketchup is simply ridiculous. Where it used to be a nice place for a sandwich and smoothly, we will now skip dinner here. Hopefully the management will be able to get things back in order soon, because this is a waste of your time and money.

Better than La Place Zoeterwoude Food is good here Unfortunately it has become expensive 2 sandwiches, 1 bowl of soup and 2 chocolate milk € 28, - 😒

Food was good but not much choice. At the cash register that guy is working his ass off and you look around and there are 3 colleagues picking your nose. Delegation could be better there.

Atmospheric restaurant with good quality food and drinks

Really great food and nice staff

Always something tasty and fresh, to eat there or to take away and always something gluten-free

Good food, friendly service, nice place to eat during a break. Clean toilets. Nice area to rest during the journey. Unfortunately, there are no showers for truck drivers. There is free Wi-Fi on the premises.

LaPlace Bodegraven is right on the A12, an ideal place to take a break or meet. Just before Gouda and short distances to Leiden or Delft. The ambiance is a la LaPlace but the atmosphere is not really inviting. Drinks and sandwiches are okay but quite expensive

Sat outside wonderfully. Then you don't realize that you are on the highway and provincial road. Easily accessible from the A12 and N11

The pizzas were gone, the wok had already closed, the salad bar was half full and the staff didn't really feel like doing their best for guests. Last time you will see me here

Delicious lunch. Everything fresh and delicious. Nice restaurant. You can also sit outside.

We ordered 4 pizzas... is it Italian... no, but then I had to go to the Italian if I wanted that. Ate delicious pizzas. And the littlest one was very pleased with the fries. Pricey, yes, but you know that. In any case, we were happy with it.

In my opinion this is a less good place to eat. I had satay, the meat tasted like nothing and the peanut sauce was not even close to peanut sauce. The good; the fries, but hey, that doesn't make a meal. My partner's salmon was also tasteless and typically cut, the fries were also fine, but obviously did not make for a good meal.
