Paviljoen Nijstad in Wijk 62 Industrie- en verspreide gebieden

Delicious food. Fast service. Dogs were allowed in the conservatory.

A top-notch spot with good quality food and excellent service. Highly recommended for a party or meeting, for example.

Delicious food, beautiful location, friendly staff

Nice restaurant. The meat wasn't properly prepared for every order.

A useless opportunity when you're with a dog. You can either sit outside in the cold or leave.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch in a cozy environment

Had my wedding there. The service and friendliness of the staff were excellent. The restrooms were clean and fresh. The food (buffet) was also very extensive and very good!

Always nice to sit here for a drink and/or a bite to eat. Beautiful location. Friendly staff. Beautiful view of the water.

A fantastic evening! After a mix-up about where we would be seated, we were given a great spot in the conservatory with our group. The service was friendly and excellent. The food was superb and more than enough (a 3-course shared meal). Highly recommended!

Vegetarians are not allowed to participate in the shared dinner. They have to eat from the menu. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I went twice this week, once for dinner and once for lunch. Both times I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the ambiance. This is a true gem along the A28.

Had a delicious meal at this busy restaurant. Extensive menu. Something for everyone. Friendly staff. Clean restrooms. Plenty of parking. Reservations recommended. We'll definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed the spareribs and the burger. We were in a bit of a hurry, so it was nice to be noticed. When everything was on our table, we thought, "Phew, how are we ever going to finish this?" Despite being very hungry, we had to leave a lot behind. I don't know about other guests, but if a lot of food gets thrown away, you might consider reducing the portions or asking for their preferences. We had fries, potato wedges, and mashed potatoes. Too much for us, but it was delicious. Good service and a pleasant atmosphere.

After more than 10 years, the first reunion of our former photography group. We ordered the shared lunch. I thought it was fantastic! More than enough for everyone! I especially enjoyed the tomato soup, the croquette, and the mini hamburger. We also got a great spot along the wall, in a long line. It was my first time there. Born and raised in HGV but moved out. I'd only been there during the "suckhole" era. I think it's fun to sit with you all year round. Thanks, I think our whole group enjoyed it.

Super delicious food. As always!

A great location, beautifully situated on a lake with a small beach. We had a retirement party here. Everything was perfectly organized, and the service was excellent.

Had a shared lunch for 7 people. Very surprising and super delicious... A cozy spot... Definitely worth repeating!!!

We wanted to have dinner at Paviljoen Nijstad this evening after a positive lunch experience. Once we arrived, we were able to order a drink and were asked if we'd like to see the menu. We wanted to see the menu because we wanted to eat something. However, it turned out to be difficult to bring a menu. The waitress came by with two menus, but we didn't receive them. They came by frequently afterward, but we weren't given any attention. After half an hour, we finally reported that we still hadn't received a menu from someone else. The menus were brought promptly. They said they would speak to the waitress about it. After this, we waited another long time, and the waitress came by again, smiling slightly but not asking any questions. No apology was forthcoming, after waiting almost 45 minutes. We made good use of our free table by making a reservation elsewhere. We'd just arrived at Van der Valk, where they certainly know how to treat guests. So, if you want good food and good service, don't go to Nijstad and choose a good place like Van der Valk.

Excellent! Lovely place to eat!

Beautiful location, very friendly service and excellent food

Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed at a beautiful location and quickly received the menu. After five minutes, someone came to our table, but the staff kept pushing us until we made a choice. After ordering, the rib-eye arrived first, ordered medium-rare but served medium-well. There were no steak knives, making it difficult to cut. The burgers arrived five minutes later, and they were very meager at €21. Meanwhile, our glasses sat empty for almost half an hour before we were asked if we wanted anything else to drink. The table was cleared, we weren't asked if we wanted dessert, and the manager practically shouted throughout the restaurant... on several occasions... high prices, low quantity.

Fantastic spot for lunch with a view! The shared lunch is highly recommended!

Beautiful location to relax and that next to the highway

For a staff outing, we were placed in a hideous attic. The game was terrible and the staff member didn't execute it well. Drinks were only provided after we specifically requested them. Absolutely not fun.

Very nice place. Very friendly service. Delicious food.

Enjoyed a delicious snack platter outside, overlooking the water. It was more of a meal, so I was quite full afterward. The staff was super friendly and attentive (including a water bowl for the dog). You'll want to return to a place like this!

We enjoyed delicious coffee and lunch there; the toasted sandwiches were perfect. We went again this week for dinner, and everything was excellent again.

Beautiful location, nice menu with affordable prices.

Unfortunately, another disappointing experience. Shortly after coffee, we ordered a salmon toasted sandwich. We waited a little over half an hour because there were two other people at another table. Perhaps they couldn't handle the pressure. We asked one of the waiters if the order had gone through. "Yes, it had," he said, "but he would check anyway." Fifteen minutes later, the same waiter came back to tell us, "Sorry, the kitchen doesn't open until 11:00." He didn't ask if we'd like anything else. He walked away. To our surprise, just before we were about to leave—this was also at least 15 to 20 minutes after the waiter's message—someone arrived with two salmon toasted sandwiches. It wasn't even close to 11:00, so why now? We were already prepared to leave and told them the kitchen wouldn't open until 11:00, so we didn't know any better. This young man, who was supposed to inquire, walked away with the toasted sandwiches, and we never saw him again. When we were paying, we mentioned this to the cashier. The only empathy we heard was her saying she would take care of the two young waiters. There was absolutely no customer-engaging attitude. She then continued with her work, as two more guests had arrived in the meantime. I find it very disappointing, and also typical, that no apology was offered, for example, "We'll pay for one cup of coffee," or a discount on the final price, or "We'll do better on your next visit." The cashier listened but didn't hear us. A missed opportunity!

You see that there's no investment in training there. Serving is still a bit of a challenge for most people.

Beautiful place, delicious food. Excellent service.

Despite the crowds, excellent service. Excellent food and drinks at reasonable prices. Pay at the cash register.

Great place! Very friendly staff.

Heel gezellig restaurant en fantastisch gegeten

Great place with fantastic food. Even vegan-friendly.

A delicious shared lunch, super tasty and lots of it. The staff was also super friendly.

What a wonderful place to enjoy a delicious meal! - Great location - Good service - Delicious food - Affordable

Everything is perfect here: a beautiful location, friendly and helpful service, and excellent, tasty food with an extensive menu. It's also great that there's a smoke-free terrace.

Beautiful waterfront location, a wonderfully extensive menu with delicious food, and superb service! After the drinks platter, you won't need to go out for dinner again ;) Highly recommended for a fun day with friends, family, colleagues, or just for drinks.

After visiting several wedding venues, we chose Paviljoen Nijstad for our wedding. A beautiful setting on a small beach, the ceremony on a jetty in the water, and the option to dine both indoors and outdoors. This suited us perfectly, as opposed to perhaps a more classic venue like a small castle or just a hall. The support and input during the preliminary process were excellent. Our contact person was always easily accessible and responded proactively by phone and/or email. This allowed us to come to a good set of agreements, and the contact person also provided excellent guidance in making choices and advising us on what to do and what not to do. This was incredibly helpful, as we obviously didn't have much experience with weddings :) They also gave us plenty of room to incorporate our own wishes. For example, they allowed us to hire a fresh pizza maker, have a band perform, and arrange other entertainment on the day itself. They also allowed us to further customize the venue to our liking with the help of their own stylist. On the day itself, the support and service from Paviljoen Nijstad were truly outstanding. Glasses were constantly full, empties were removed efficiently, and snacks and other items were frequently passed around. Both the delicious food and other treats were plentiful. The band and DJ's technology seamlessly integrated with Paviljoen Nijstad's, resulting in a perfect party. All in all, a great preparation and an excellent day itself. We highly recommend Paviljoen Nijstad for your wedding.

Great place, beautiful location with delicious food and friendly service. One small point for improvement: more attention to the tables. Food is neatly served and the staff is friendly, but they don't ask if you'd like another drink or if everything is to your liking. It was also a very busy evening, and it was wonderful to see how the staff worked together like a well-oiled machine. If the staff felt more responsible for their own tables, the experience would be absolutely fantastic.

A beautiful establishment with a view of the water. We had a delicious lunch there and would definitely recommend it.

Beautiful location with delicious food

Cozy place for lunch or dinner, friendly staff

This is truly a destination you'll want to revisit. Situated on a beautiful lake with woods for shade and numerous sandy beaches for children. It's also an ideal destination for children, whether it's on the beach, in the water, enjoying fries or ice cream, and so on. The ice cream sorbet was delicious and served in a special bowl, not a sorbet glass—a real change of pace, fantastic. The surroundings are so beautiful that you have to swallow twice to realize it's actually there.

Very good food, friendly and alert staff and fast service

Food was not great, and had to wait an hour for the main course. Skipped dessert as we were already waiting for 2 hours. Cannot recommend for vegetarians

It was still quiet, although confusing, we were not allowed to enter the terrace via the beach.

What an embarrassing place, everything is fake, kitsch, bad service, and completely uninspired

Very nice location. Excellent and very clean ambiance. Friendly and professional staff, both serving and receiving (read: other). Free parking, plenty of space. Wheelchair accessible. Reasonably priced, with a wide selection of menus and snacks. A waterfront terrace is also available.

Nice place to sit. Friendly service. Good value for money.

Thinking about visiting Paviljoen Nijstad? Don't hesitate, just do it! You're guaranteed to be served high-quality food. Don't worry, there's plenty on your plate! Reason for 1 star less for Service: It was still quiet, and the service was actually a bit on the fast side. A little more time between them would have been nice.

We sat outside with the dog. Lovely by the water. Delicious coffee, wonderful pastries. Friendly service.

5 Stars – A Perfect Lunch Stop with a View! We were on our way back to catch the ferry and found this place thanks to a quick Google search and we’re so glad we did! 😁👍🏼 The decor is contemporary and plush, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We were lucky to get a table by the window, which offered a stunning view over the lake, absolutely beautiful and a lovely backdrop for our meal. The restaurant was clearly popular and buzzing with people, always a good sign. The lunch menu was varied, well-priced and had something for everyone. Two of us shared the lunch platter for two, it was delicious, generous, and clearly a favorite, as we saw lots of other tables ordering it too. The platter for four was an absolute showstopper about a meter long! Service was friendly and efficient, and our food came out quickly, even during a busy lunch rush. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and left very satisfied. Highly recommended for anyone passing through or in the area a great find! 👌🏼

Delicious food! Especially the shared lunch and dinner platter. Highly recommended!

A nice cozy place on the water.

Beautiful location, easy parking, good food, excellent service. Definitely coming back. Top!

Delicious food under the setting sun

I thought the garden was beautifully landscaped and maintained. We had a lovely spot inside. The food was very good and delicious. The atmosphere was pleasant.

The three of us shared a lunch for two. And we still had some leftovers. But we could take the rest home.

Delicious and huge portions, very kind and helpful personnel. Highly recommended!

Mooie omgeving, fijne sfeer, heerlijke sharing lunch, welke ook meer dan voldoende was. Ook lekkere verse echte jus d’orange . We hadden een heerlijke middag en zaten daar echt op ons gemak op het flink volle terras. Heel erg fijn was het ontvangst en vooral de enorm fijne bediening. Dit maakte het helemaal af. ( dank je, Fokke ).

Besides a slightly long waiting time, it's a really great place!

Super nice neat and modern place, food was good view was beautiful.

Beautiful location Super friendly staff Food very mediocre. Greasy fried schnitzel, "homemade" monchou tasted like flavorless whipped cream

Tafel buiten gereserveerd en hadden we een heerlijke plek in de schaduw. Bediening aardig en attent. Ondanks de drukte snelle service. Het is was lekker.

The ambiance is something different, pure beach feeling. The food is delicious, even the leather is ready-made, and the sauce on the chicken could be lighter. The burgers taste good and are recommended. It's definitely worth a visit.

Excellent food. Friendly and fast service.

Wij hebben bij Paviljoen Nijstad een babyshower gehad voor onze vriendin met een shared lunch. Van ter voren goed contact gehad over de mogelijkheden en het eten was super! Er werd fijn meegedacht en zo is het een onvergetelijke middag geworden!

A half-hour drive from where we live, we discovered Paviljoen Nijstad. What a wonderful place to spend time, with something for everyone: play, swim, take a lovely walk, and enjoy fantastic food in the restaurant while enjoying the beautiful view. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful waterfront location with ample gluten-free options at a reasonable price. For lunch, we had a roast beef sandwich and a chicken sandwich. The sandwiches are generously filled, and the service is very fast and attentive.

I've had lunch here several times and will be back many more times. Excellent service, friendly staff, and most importantly... delicious food!!

Lovely spot by the water. Beautifully designed. Plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. The food isn't particularly special for the price. There are gluten-free options, and the bread from the freezer is warmed up, but it's better than nothing. The place gets extra points. There are even tables with swings outside. Friendly and attentive staff.

Beautiful location and delicious food and of course good service.

Friendly and efficient service. Delicious food. The Nijstad fries were a tasty surprise!

What a fantastic place, that Paviljoen Nijstad! I'm truly impressed. The atmosphere is perfect: modern, yet incredibly cozy, making you feel right at home. The service is excellent; they're quick, friendly, and have an eye for detail. And the food... it's truly delicious! Every dish we tried was delicious. In short, an absolute must if you're looking for a place where everything is perfect: atmosphere, service, and fantastic food!

Just had lunch at this beautiful spot by the water; you feel like you're in a beach bar. 😁 So beautiful location, delicious food, friendly and efficient staff. Don't ask how much it cost because I was treated. All in all, a wonderful experience. ☀️

This is a really great place to go. The location on the beach is lovely, and the decor is beautiful. There's comfortable seating both inside and out. The food is delicious. The service is fast and friendly... Hats off! Many restaurants and cafes could learn from this.

The meat was delicious, but there was a major drawback. We booked at 6:30, and the main course arrived around nine. Fifteen minutes after the meat had been gone, they still brought the side dishes. One star for the friendly service. One time, never again. Luckily, you don't have to pay for parking per hour.

De "uiterlijkheden" zijn prima. Aan het water, mooi uitzicht, hippe tent, genoeg personeel die "volgens het boekje" functioneren. (Op)gemaakte sfeer, best lawaaierig en het eten is "zo zo". Zo zijn de hoeveelheden (sharing diner) best veel en komen snel achter elkaar, het hoofdgerecht bestaat uit grote "hompen" (weinig smaakvol) vlees. Prima hoeveelheden voor opgroeiende pubers die zonder te proeven alles naar binnen "schrokken", maar voor de gemiddelde volwassene mag het wat ons betreft iets minder en vooral verfijnder zijn. Een mooi bedacht concept maar niet voor de fijnproever die een avondje gezellig willen eten. We komen er vast nog een keer, voor een drankje of zo.

Food was great and they thought along with dietary requirements. Service was personal and also thought along with us. Beautiful surroundings. Too bad about the noise button in the toilet. That's why no 5 stars.

For a nice beach vibe this is recommended especially because you are in Drenthe😀 Food is just good. We had shared Dinner. Tasty and sufficient. Young guys working, one is faster than the other but hey, that's the age/experience. More than sufficient and we will definitely go there again. Great prices for what you get and for the good beach vibe.

Good food. Reservations are required. Busy place at Pentecost 2025

Very friendly staff and a great chef.

Nice cozy sweer, beautiful decor and theme. Helpful staff very friendly, definitely recommended.

Beautiful location. Atmospheric decor. We had a table outside on the terrace with a view of the water. Wonderful!

Really fantastic, what a lovely restaurant. Fantastic staff, good atmosphere and it runs like a train, everything is so well coordinated. Neat and tidy, friendly and delicious food, highly recommended.

Here you can eat well, and a cozy place

Enjoyed a teambuilding outing immensely. Very hospitable and friendly staff. The luxurious buffet was delicious.

Bad first experience Steak cold/raw. Bad service

Had a nice meal here and it tasted great. Service was perfect.

On a beautiful summer evening it was scorching hot both inside and outside.

Always good here! Very nice location, beautiful decor, friendly staff and very good food!

Delicious lunch! Sharing lunch is highly recommended!

Good food for a reasonable price. Reservations are essential during the weekend

Sat for 15 minutes. Staff doesn't look at you, just walk past you. No help, can't order a drink either. No Nijstad for us again.

Had a great meal here. Spareribs and rib-eye are top quality. Friendly and fast service.

Advance reservation is required. Very tasty food, nice service!

Relaxed hangout in a fantastic spot on the water. Friendly, attentive, hip (Jake Paul! You here?) staff. Despite the fact that it was packed, the food was on the table quickly. Surprising menu. We had the shared lunch for 2 people and it was very extensive: croquette sandwich, cup of soup, hamburger sandwich, satay and various sweets. Perfect! Will come back for dinner soon.

In one word fantastic!! The location, the food, the staff. Top chef!!! I haven't eaten so well in a long time. We had shared dining. For the first time we ate steak that was very tender! (I normally never eat steak) This restaurant is really recommended!!!
