I went here for a meal today, very cozy and relaxing, ideal for a stopover. By car or bicycle, you have to walk 15 minutes for public transport from Duinrell. The toilets were very clean for both men and women.

A lovely place at the bottom of the dune near Wassenaarseslag. I've been here for years. It was closed for a while, but now it's open again under a new owner. The friendly, helpful, and attentive ladies helped me with a delicious croquette sandwich. A pleasant and convenient stop during my bike ride.

Yesterday evening we wanted to have a nice meal with our family (2 adults, 2 kids) and Grandpa and Grandma. When we arrived at 18:15 we sat down and looked at the menu to see what we wanted to order. After waiting for 15 minutes, no one from the service had come yet, so I went inside to order myself (I thought), then I was told that the kitchen was closed... at 6:30 while it says that the kitchen would be open until 7 o'clock. Very strange and very unfortunate. So really NOT recommended!!!

After an afternoon in Duinrell we thought we would have a quick bite to eat here before heading home. The children ordered a croquette and a frikandel with fries, which were as you would expect. The Klip burger my wife ordered was okay, but not much more than that. I ordered a dish of hot meat (at a price of €15, about the most expensive on the menu), the amount of meat was really minimal and the meat itself was dry and lukewarm in temperature. Definitely not recommended. A bit of conviviality/personality in the reception/service remained absent and there was no way to say goodbye or anything when leaving (of course we did this when walking out). Unfortunately, but not worth repeating as far as we are concerned.
