Restaurant Columbia in Wijk 07 Cadzand

The pizza was delicious, and the service was okay. They weren't aware of online reservations at the restaurant, but they somehow managed to squeeze us in with eight people! Thank you.

Delicious food. Friendly service. Plenty of choices. Easy online booking on the website.

Pizza no taste at all, calzone vegetables stewed flat😔 1x and never again.

Very good and reasonably priced. Warm and quiet atmosphere. Very friendly waiter who takes his time 😉

Mr. Arek, the waiter doesn't hesitate to put people down based on their appearance, calling them "too fat," I quote, when he's frustrated. He'd better brush up on his manners and not allow himself to say such things on social media while showing off where he works. That's not very smart, Mr. Arek. I wouldn't recommend coming to the establishment where you work and risk running into you. My apologies to the owner, but I hope he learns his lesson.

We had kibbeling (fried fish pieces) with fries and salad. Food was well prepared and moderately priced. Service was fast. Clean toilets too which I consider a big plus.

Great food, great atmosphere! (But be careful with the pizza Tonno, because if you eat tuna, you're participating in a mass extinction 😉)

Too cold...too loud...too bad service...the waitress is a passenger in his own body! He doesn't notice anything (empty glasses, waving hands, and missing food).

Today I had another cup of coffee and a slice of apple pie, with whipped cream, of course (the price isn't listed on the menu). It was delicious, but I was charged €22.82. After inquiring, it turned out we were charged €2.50 for a dollop of whipped cream. Outrageous.

Nice restaurant, but unfortunately, the food wasn't very tasty. All three of us ate fish...it was fried and roasted for too long, making everything very dry. The mashed potatoes were completely tasteless. Perhaps we would have been better off with pizza and the like. We wouldn't go back to the restaurant.

Yes, I've been coming to Cadzand-Bad on and off for over 40 years. Apart from chip shops and a Chinese restaurant, there weren't any. This restaurant is a real asset to Cadzand-Bad. Seating is both indoors and out, highchairs are provided, delicious food, and friendly service is a must. Definitely give it a try!

We ate here on our last day of vacation. The calzone was excellent, and the accompanying menus were also large and very tasty. The service was also very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend the Columbia restaurant.

We had pizza, and it was delicious. A bonus for me is that they also serve gluten-free pizza (just the way pizza should be).

We had pizza pepperoni and pizza scampi. We were both very satisfied. The pizza pepperoni was nicely spicy.

The restaurant is located on the tourist mile Boulevard de Wielingen in Cadzand-Bad. Nevertheless, the ambiance is pleasant, clean, and pleasantly decorated. The staff is very friendly, accommodating to requests without any complications, and the service is attentive and quick. The portions are generous, the pizzas and pasta dishes so large you can't finish them, and all for a reasonable price, especially given the location! When in season, I recommend the plain mussels with fries. Excellent quality, a huge pot per person, carefully selected by the chef; not a single closed mussel in the 1.5 kg of mussels per person! So it's best to skip the starter. The other typical dishes, from cheese croquettes to kipplings, are fresh, plentiful, and good. We were here three times in one week! I definitely recommend the restaurant.

Food was fine but we are still waiting for dessert.

The food was certainly the worst I've ever been served. It's outrageous!

Very nice and friendly staff, excellent food, fast service and nice ambience to enjoy

Average restaurant. The food was rather bland and boring.

We were there for a birthday party with over 10 people, and the staff set up a few tables especially for us. They also brought us a gift, and the staff sang for the birthday boy. The pizza I had was also very good.

We've eaten there a few times. The main courses are very good. I had a waffle. It wasn't fresh and the edges were rock hard. When the waitress came to ask if it was good, nothing was done about it. When we went to pay and I mentioned it again, I was told I should have mentioned it sooner. It's a shame they didn't have another solution. This could have been more customer-friendly.

Large, delicious pizzas with extremely friendly service at fair prices! ...I'd gladly go back anytime! 🍕

Food is very good and the atmosphere is good too! But my drink was forgotten twice

The food was surprisingly good, definitely better than we expected. It's obviously not a 5-star restaurant, but rather a pizzeria in a tourist area, and both the taste and size of the dishes were definitely decent. There's always room, as there are plenty of tables available both inside and outside. Our two dogs were also no problem and were allowed into the covered outdoor area. There's also a dog water bowl in front of the restaurant.

We ate here during our vacation. The service was excellent. The food was rather average. We ordered without mushrooms, but the calzone still came with mushrooms. The salad had no dressing and was very small. 5 stars, however, for the staff. They were very accommodating and friendly. Let's just say it was okay overall.

A wide selection of pancakes and frikandel (fried pastries) is available until 5 p.m., as well as a broad evening menu. Prices could be slightly lower for a tearoom. The presentation and quality of the food here are not what you'd expect—almost too good and not to be expected for a tearoom. I was all the more pleasantly surprised. The staff is friendly and accommodating to special requests—even setting up a table for 10 at short notice was no problem.

I visited Restaurant Columbia to pick up a classic Pizza Margherita for takeaway. I called ahead to make sure it would be ready upon arrival, though I still had to wait a few minutes, which wasn’t a problem for me personally. The staff were rather reserved and didn’t engage much. The payment process was quiet, and after being asked to take a seat, the pizza was placed on my table without further communication. The pizza itself was very good, as expected from a Margherita and the portion size was fair for the price of 11 euros. One thing I would have appreciated is if the pizza had been pre-sliced for takeaway. Since we planned to eat it at the beach, it would have made things a bit easier. That said, we still managed just fine. Overall, a solid experience with good food, though a bit more friendliness and small touches could make the service feel more welcoming.

We waited almost two hours for the food. It was delicious, but what the service messes up, the kitchen can't fix. We had small children with us, and they got really stubborn.

We had to wait two hours for our food. Apparently, we were forgotten, because tables that arrived later got their food earlier. It can happen, but unfortunately, it wasn't handled well on-site. No information was provided after complaining, let alone an apology. Unfortunately, not recommended for families with children, but the food itself was okay.

Reserved a table for 6:30 PM and got dinner around 8:20 PM. Very long wait with small children. The food was delicious.

Great food and very friendly staff

It used to be one of our favorite restaurants, but it's gone downhill a lot. Serving a baguette as a starter at a pizzeria isn't acceptable. Then using the same bread, topping it with Parmesan cheese, and serving a kind of tomato pesto in a bowl is very unusual. The 4 Formaggi pizza wasn't cooked all the way through, so there was raw dough in the middle. No longer recommended, unfortunately!

To round off our vacation, the four of us made a reservation at Restaurant Columbia. The food was decent, nothing more, nothing less, but the waitress was remarkably disinterested and had no idea what was available in terms of dish availability. While paying the €200 bill, she walked away, and stayed away, leaving my wife waiting. No tip, no recommendation.

The best noodles around, the chicken in them is super delicious!!

Yesterday, I went out for dinner for the first time with my very young daughter. The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the staff were very friendly. We had a wonderful time. Fantastic!

We went to this Italian restaurant last night – it was just before closing time, but we were still warmly welcomed and even got three dishes 🍽️. A big compliment for that! Unfortunately, the Greek salad wasn't quite what we had imagined 😢 – we were expecting a bit more. But the rest of the dishes were very good and lovingly prepared. The service was consistently friendly and attentive. The prices are a bit high, but quite reasonable for the late hour and the quality 💰. All in all, a lovely evening! 🐚

My travel group and I visited this pizzeria yesterday, and I'd like to share my joy. 😃😃The food was really good – the pizza crust was nice and crispy and the toppings were fresh. 👍🏻👍🏻The friendly service is particularly worth mentioning. The wait was also pleasantly short, so we didn't stay hungry for long. 😝😝All in all, a very pleasant evening that we would gladly repeat. Thank you for the great service.😃👍🏻👍🏻

Delicious pizza and great service

We had a great meal there, but the service was just doing its thing. No ears for the guests at all or listening to their wishes. Walking onto the terrace with an order from two different tables and then letting the guests take the food from your arm… We had just finished our starter and they thought we were asking for the bill. Fine, but if you pay a little attention to your guest you know that there was still a main course and a dessert coming. Too bad, because it is certainly not cheap! If you let the service staff walk around correctly you have a super nice business!

Pizza is really delicious, reference class Italy

Pizza Scampi: Not enough salt, garlic... crust too pale Pizza Salami: Not enough salt, crust too pale Pizza Ham: Not enough salt, crust too pale Greek Salad: Tastes like it has no seasoning, no balsamic vinegar, and the leaves are huge. We wouldn't eat here again

It was deliciously good food We enjoyed the hospitality

The pizza was okay, a typical tourist pizza, nothing great. The service was mediocre and felt rather lackluster. Our waiter broke a glass today, and he only swept up the shards with considerable delay and only moderate enthusiasm and meticulousness. The time between ordering and serving was surprisingly short. Overall, okay.

We ate at the Columbia restaurant for the first time today. We had "Brood Smeersels" for the two of us beforehand. The portion was already very generous for two people. The dips were really delicious, and the bread was very good. For our main course, we had Pizza Calzone and Pizza Mediterrane. The quality was very good, just like the starter. The value for money is absolutely perfect for the top location near the beach with its high quality. The service was very friendly, attentive, and they even spoke to us in German. About the ambiance: we sat outside on the terrace; the tables were all clean, beautifully, and simply set. Salt, pepper, and a very good chili oil were provided at the table. The interior is even prettier, with a very lovingly and detailed dining room that is visually absolutely impressive. We would love to come back to try the menu again.

Pizza was good… the rest was rather mediocre… the service was polite but nonexistent…

We all had pizzas and were very satisfied

Cozy terrace, highly recommended.

We picked up delicious thin-crust pizzas and it was great that we could place an order for 9 pizzas and pick them up half an hour later. At home, the pizza tasted best after another 3 minutes in the oven

We had breakfast here for my birthday. That's called a luxury breakfast for €19.50. Upon arrival, the first question was whether we wanted coffee because that was not part of breakfast. When breakfast arrived the rolls were warm but apparently from the previous day because as soon as they cooled down they were impossible to get through. The only thing that was really tasty about breakfast was the boiled egg. What a mockery. If you go there for coffee with apple pie (the previous day), apple pie costs €5.50, if you want whipped cream with it, it costs €8.00 and that is of course not on the menu. €2.50 for 2 tablespoons of whipped cream.

The staff was friendly and the atmosphere is great. We sat outside under the canopy (in the glass cage). Temperature was pleasant even though it was 12 degrees outside. The food was mediocre. Pizza was okay but not more than that (stagioni and formaggi). The kids' food, fish fingers and chicken nuggets, was fine. The dessert, ice cream, was not good. Lots of crystals in the ice. The price of the food is normal for the place. Eating for four people, main and dessert with drinks was 120 euros including tip. Fine for once, but not worth repeating.

The food was ready quickly, but it didn't taste good. A place that specializes in pizza on the menu should be able to serve a decent pizza. We didn't have a decent pizza, my evening is now over...

Very tasty and right on the market square

Best pizza I ever had, hands down!

We had reserved there - but since we were there relatively early in the evening, there were still a lot of tables available - later it got very full... We ate pizza, very tasty... Price okay, nice service...

Been here for the second time within a week. The food is great, especially the pizza. Service was quick and friendly. Even the food was served quickly. All in all a top restaurant that is worth a visit

Service was friendly, but spoke very poor Dutch. It was therefore a challenge to get everything right for our large group. Additional questions had to be answered by a different waiter each time. Starter was simple, but tasty (scampi in garlic). Main course was very tasty (filet mignot with pepper cream sauce). Dessert was moelleux with ice cream. Everyone's moelleux was cold or lukewarm. They warmed it up extra (including the ice cream that was on the plate... that was a bit of a strange thought 😅). Apart from the dessert, everything was tasty and we were helped correctly.

Had a great meal here yesterday. Steak was well cooked, although I expected more from a "Devil steak" in terms of taste. Management did their best because I had the feeling that there were a few new ones running around. As a tip, be a bit more active instead of always chatting at the bar.

The food was tasty. The terrace was very cold. And the service was a bit chaotic.

Stirring cartridge. Very friendly service. We had Carlzone ordered perfect!

The ambience promises more than the service and food actually deliver. A pizza marinara topped with tuna, mussels and 2 mini shrimps on a tasteless, dry pizza base is a disgrace and not worth the money.

Not tasty pizza. Way too greasy, way too expensive for the poor quality.

🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞If you think you can walk past this restaurant unnoticed...you are wrong😂. The short-legged, fast, slightly pushy, BUT super friendly host at the entrance "talks" everyone in😂. And it works. In No Time it is busy, both on the outdoor terrace and inside the restaurant 😀. Very extensive menu and extremely friendly, hospitable service. They are really concerned to make the guests happy in all ways and give everyone a "warm welcome feeling". Beautifully decorated dining room. Lots of attention to detail and quiet music in the background. You will also be warmly welcomed for a cup of coffee👍. It is possible to pick up a meal. Price-quality ratio is excellent! After a friendly greeting from the staff, a "Goodbye" for the temperamental host😉We will definitely come and enjoy this excellent cuisine again!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Nice restaurant with tourist prices, but we already knew that.

Really recommended, delicious and top service, prices corresponding for the Netherlands

Simply very good value in a nice and cozy setting.

Delicious food for a fair price. Staff is very friendly. Steak/entrecote is recommended. Good quality meat

I have had a delicious meal several times before in the afternoon, but yesterday afternoon it was much less! My wife's pancake was "elastic" and fell like a block on the stomach, uneaten. I got brown syrup over my waffle as "hot chocolate sauce". Very unfortunate!

Very tasty gypsy schnitzel and chicken fillet pasta in cream sauce. Luckily we didn't have to make a reservation, nice service

The food still ok. There is still a lot of work to be done on the service. We will not be returning there for a while.

We were there to eat. Because of the dogs we were on the terrace. The next day we went back and were very rudely asked to leave the terrace immediately because it was closed. All the tables were set and the lady's tone was underground. We then left without eating there.

Super cozy and a nice atmosphere, also very good and tasty food

Had a delicious meal with my children and grandchildren, the food was excellent, no one was short of anything, the ice cream was also a treat. I think the atmosphere could be a bit better in terms of decoration, but that is personal. Friendly staff too, no regrets.

Tasty food, fast and friendly service

Tasty pizza Capri for a reasonable price, however... the orange lighting makes the food look much less tasty. The eye was disappointed during the meal.

It's a really nice restaurant and there are even vegan options 👍

Like so many people, the food on the covered terrace didn't taste particularly good. The service needed training and even mixed up the food under the tables.

delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere, knowledgeable staff

Then I thought to myself, given the numerous negative reviews, you should do that to yourself. The week in Cadzand Bad was a dream, but now there has to be some disappointment. And indeed I was disappointed: I can NOT confirm ANY of the bad reviews. The pizzas were really good, the service was remarkably friendly, the food came quickly and at the same time for everyone. And price-wise? Guys... the whole region lives almost exclusively from tourism, and the Netherlands has never been famous for being a cheapie when it comes to gastronomy. Seriously: good food at an average price for Holland in a nice atmosphere with good service. So a worthy end to a wonderful week of vacation.

Very warm welcome, very hospitable and delicious food. The grilled salmon was perfectly prepared.

The food is quite good, but the selection of pizzas, for example, is nothing special. The prices are quite high, but this is probably due to the location. The atmosphere right there is really nice. The waiters advertise the restaurant quite aggressively if you walk past the restaurant in the evening and just look around.

Friendly, dedicated service, food took longer for 7 people but everything was fresh. The best pizza around.

Pizza very tasty, very friendly staff, even if the restaurant is busy and they have a lot to do, children are very welcome, even with a larger group (8 people) you can spontaneously have the opportunity to eat in the restaurant without a reservation after a short waiting time , as free tables for 2 people will then be rearranged. And the food comes reasonably quickly, even if the restaurant and the winter garden in front of it are busy! Always my pleasure

Food was freshly made and tasted excellent. Pizza is a decent portion. Mussels were also very good.

Delicious pizzas! Only the draft beer was served lukewarm, which is a shame. Very friendly staff who work hard.

Super friendly. Prices are of course based on tourism, but here you get something for your money and it tastes really good. Thanks again!

Great restaurant for tourists with really good service The food and ambience are simple and good

Unfriendly staff, all of them (5 employees), stood idle and people on the terrace were not helped. A number of guests were rightly leaving. We stayed for a drink, it took a very long time, we didn't look at you. They didn't come by so I walked inside to pay, not friendly there either and when paying he took my cell phone out of my hands and placed it against the PIN device, bizarre. No goodbyes or goodbyes yet. Would definitely go for another tent next time next to or opposite! Poor communication, not hospitable, not friendly and a lot of grumbling among themselves. waste was not removed from the table before we arrived.

I ate a sandwich for 17 euros and it was so bad that I almost threw up.

It's not the food. Price/quality top. Delicious ribeye +/- 300gr with herb butter and fries for less than 30 euros. Steak with pepper sauce delicious and also at a competitive price. What made it less pleasant is that we arrived around 1945, we got our first drink half an hour later and our food around 2115. Due to being too busy? Too many tables... it's not the staff's fault because they fly around and always with a smile.

3 portions of mussels, 1 pizza and 1 lasagna... after 1.5 hours the mussels arrived on the table and a few minutes later the lasagna. There was no pizza... the lasagna was bone dry and therefore inedible. We canceled the pizza 2 hours after ordering. The mussels were edible, but not seasoned at all and little to no vegetables. Definitely not recommended... they will certainly not see us here again and if I can recommend something to everyone who reads this... go to the neighbors Suddenly they come and take away the lasagna, disappear into the kitchen with it and 10 minutes later they come back with the same lasagna only covered with tomato sauce... I had to accept the fact that the lasagna leaves were completely rubber. Consequently, I thanked him and stood firm that I was not going to eat something like that.

Restaurant Columbia is an unexpected gem in Cadzand! Very good pizza served by very friendly staff!

We eat here every year, either on site or to take away. The pizza tastes simply delicious and is worth every cent ;) The service is very friendly, always ready with a smile. Our favorite pizzeria on vacation!

TURIST TRAP!!!!! We were shown to a table without asking, ordered and waited 1.5 hours for our order. The price-performance ratio is NOT there. The price is overpriced for the service we received. Simply OUTRAGEOUS!!!!

1:30 waiting for the food and still only got the starter after 1 hour. Probably the worst service I have ever experienced. As of this review I still haven't received my pizza

Delicious food, very enthusiastic and friendly manager

We went here on our last night in Cadzand Bad and had a wonderful stay at this Italian restaurant. The pizza was very good and the waiters even better. Very friendly and efficient service, the kids even got a big surprise ice cream with a fountain on top! I would come back 😊

Very pleasant experience. We came late and they still let us dine and provided the best service regardless. Pizza was delicious and they were so nice to our kids!

Best pizza in Cadzand Bad, super tasty!! Exceptionally nice and courteous service and very child-friendly! It couldn't be better! Thank you! 👍👍👍👍👍

We were very happy with our selection. The conditions were nice.

Very nice service and various different dishes. We were there with our little boys and were also very welcome. Our children really wanted a pannekoeken and the calzone pizza was baked like a fish. I've never seen her like that before. Great idea. Beautiful outdoor seating with a roof similar to a winter garden. Located in the middle of the market square. Everything perfect!
