Restaurant d'Ald Wal in Wijk 06 Zuid IJlst

Lovely terrace, too bad you can't get a glass of water with your coffee. You can only order sparkling water or something. Why not a glass of tap water?

The food was not tasty! Prices were overpriced. Service was okay. Good location.

Really good and right on the water

Had a drink and a snack. Enjoying the autumn sun with my granddaughter.

Great little restaurant on the canal. We enjoyed a club sandwich and a Caesar salad for lunch. Both were delicious, and the service was extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommended if you're in Heeg. A lovely location.

"Was everything to your liking, sir?" - No "Good." - Excuse me? I said no. "I didn't hear you." This was the reaction when I got the bill. It illustrates the rest, so to speak. Not the most atmospheric restaurant, despite the location. The food is also best left untouched. The mushroom appetizer was subpar. The main course (burger) was served on a cold bun with what looked like a steak knife, but it was blurry. The constantly open door was an annoyance due to the incoming cold. Advice: buy a door closer.

We were here in September 2025 and had reserved a table. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The restaurant has a beautiful location by the water and is cozy. The food arrived relatively quickly. Three of us had the Boerenschnitzel. You had to hunt for the mushrooms, and it was covered in a thick sauce that tasted like instant gravy. None of us would order this dish again. The two portions of fish and chips were okay.

We ate here with a group of 30 colleagues. Everything was served really quickly. Friendly staff and a charming restaurant! Definitely recommended!

A very cozy and beautiful restaurant with a terrace right on the water. Friendly staff and excellent food. The desserts are highly recommended! The kitchen is also open until 10 p.m. during the week. We will be back.

Excellent and attentive service. Very helpful when something went wrong. The food is excellent.

Delicious food for a reasonable price.

Enjoy a nice meal by the water.

Ordered two coffees and two rolls of bread and then had to pay €20.

A fantastic place, great service, friendly and very attentive. We'd love to come back.

Really nice place. Good food and friendly staff.

Waterfront terrace: lovely boat watching. Tables along the wall offer excellent shelter from the wind. Lots of different beers on tap. Plenty of waitstaff. Not all Dutch, of course, but that's the case everywhere. The menu is all over the place. My chicken burger was excellent. Downside: only one knife.

A very nice restaurant with a very pleasant ambiance and excellent food. It's a perfect place to end a sailing trip.

Good food with prompt, friendly, and flexible service. You can tell they have extensive experience in the hospitality industry and have a great atmosphere.

Soup kitchen food. But where else can you get a good meal in Heeg? Nice place and friendly service.

The food was very good, but there was a difference in the service provided by the waitresses. One of our waitresses was very kind and calm, while our second waitress was very nagging and decided to hand us a dessert menu without asking after the main course. The food was good, but the service could have been better.

We've had several delicious meals! The stew and satay were very tender and flavorful. The desserts were also delicious. The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed. There's a lovely view of the water, where small boats sail by in the season. We'd love to come back!

We recently ate here, but we won't be back. The food showed significant cost-cutting. With our main course, we received no vegetables at all and only one small bowl of salad to share. I read in other reviews that this can be ordered separately; it would have been nice if the waitress had pointed this out to us. They served tasteless fries sauce instead of real mayonnaise. The pepper sauce was clearly made with instant powder and water and was lumpy. The salmon was still far too raw, and by the time it went back into the kitchen, it was taking so long that everyone else had already finished their meal. We even had to ask ourselves where it was! The steak, thankfully, was still delicious. The dessert, "Amazing Stroopwafel," at €8.50, wasn't much to write home about: a factory-made microwaved stroopwafel with two scoops of ice cream and weak whipped cream from a can. That's simply not acceptable for that price. The service was very chaotic: we were forgotten when taking our order and had to repeatedly approach the staff. Throughout the evening, we literally had five different waiters/waitresses, some of whom barely spoke Dutch. We weren't even asked if we wanted a second round of drinks. The atmosphere was further disrupted by a very noisy crowd and several dogs in the small restaurant area. While the restaurant can't really do anything about this, it didn't make the evening any more enjoyable. All in all, you can taste and feel that they've made significant cuts, especially when it comes to the ingredients.

The food quality has unfortunately deteriorated in recent years. The service is good and friendly. The restaurant, with its waterfront terrace, is perfectly situated. It attracts a lot of attention when the boats pass by.

Friendly, efficient service. We had a delicious lunch. We sat by the water, which was lovely.

Easy to fit with the boat. Wonderful way to cool off. Fast service. We had to kill the ducks with the bread. That was a shame. Otherwise, a great tent.

A delightful setting on the canal. Delicious food, and everything moves very quickly. I recommend it.

Very friendly staff and fast service. The waterfront is great and it's easy to dock your boat. The nachos are highly recommended!

Very attentive service and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. Top location!

Good locally sourced food, Delicious wine, nice, pleasant location. I think the portions are quite large. When it's busy, it takes a bit longer, but the quality remains top-notch. I'd love to come back.

No idea what the food tastes like, but you mainly come here for the atmosphere (and for cheap drinks)

Fantastically friendly and hospitable restaurant where we were fortunate enough to be able to refuel around 9 pm.

Great food, nice people serving and not expensive!

What a lovely place to eat! We had lunch here by the water. Friendly, efficient ladies who did a fantastic job despite the crowds. It was fun to watch all the boats go by while eating. And the food was absolutely delicious (the latte macchiato was even very good!).

The food took a very long time and the portion was small. The bread was also very hard. The seating was nice, though, right by the water!

Lovely place on the water with reasonably priced food.

Beautiful terrace, enjoy the food and the busy sailing route

We had fish and chips for lunch. The fish was dry and dark brown, clearly re-fried. Probably leftover from yesterday. Or old oil. Something like that should never have left the kitchen. When we paid, we weren't asked if everything was to our liking, so we just left.

The menu isn't that extensive, but it's right on the water. You can dock your boat right there. The staff is friendly. The food is plentiful. Perhaps a bit overpriced.

Great menu. Delicious food and super service.

A lovely terrace with friendly and nice service and we also had a delicious lunch.

Mediocre espresso, glass of tap water refused to be served with the espresso - only Spa Blauw in a bottle possible... Apple pie was frozen. Nice cookie though! Heeg remains a nice place, but better choose another terrace.

Nice boat watching on the terrace. Friendly service.

Portions eaten here were small. Fries and salad could be ordered, we did but never came. Food is what you can expect from an average cafe. Bad or non-Dutch speaking service, plates were just taken away.

Very friendly service, food is good, only the eel I have eaten was tastier.

Rarely have I eaten so badly in Kibbeling. There was almost no fish and the steak was raw even though I ordered medium. After complaining, nothing came from a sorry.

Delicious food! Great fun staff, the atmosphere was super cozy despite the bad weather. Beautiful place on the water.

Great location, very nice service 👍

Beautiful place with a cozy terrace on the water.

We could dock the boat straight away and go out for dinner. The waitresses were super nice. The food was delicious.

Nice, cozy restaurant with good, imaginative cuisine.

Cozy restaurant with a varying menu

Nice spot to enjoy the sun by the water for a while. Friendly people and quick service! Had a nice lunch while enjoying a tasty Erdinger Weiss.

Unfortunately only a small menu for lunch, nice service and a nice restaurant

Very nice people, good information, just great, that's how it should be

Very nice service, who could also speak German. We had a lot of fun with her. Our dog was immediately given a bowl of fresh water.

Great place, good for our family. Helpful friendly staff and fresh tasty food. Thanks!!

Very nice restaurant. Food excellent. Waiters smart and on point. Highly recommended

This restaurant is not to be missed along the water. Well attended and well organized.

Great cafe to relax and enjoy. Great view!!

We were tipped by a local and certainly didn't regret it. The boat was moored at the jetty and we had a nice meal inside. Prices are good and so is the service.

Delicious food, sea bass and eel. Top dishes. Pleasant and despite the crowds, just time for a chat. Top.

Sparrib has been eaten better. Otherwise great

Well-groomed snacking. When the weather is nice, enjoy it outside and otherwise inside. Food was good and staff did a great job!

Very, very well eaten, friendly service, everything was great, gladly again 👏

Nice restaurant right on the water. You can watch boats go by. Friendly and attentive service. Our burgers were delicious and served quickly. Large selection of beer, as is typical here. Map is exclusively Dutch, but no problem thanks to Google. You can also order in English.

Nice place by the water and plenty of choice on the menu

Excellent snack on good bakery bread in a nice place on the water.

What a beautiful place. You can also sit on the water and inside. Nothing wrong with eating More than enough and delicious Fast and smooth operation. Well worth a visit

De Heeg is a nice village to visit. After a visit to the Belvedere Museum, have lunch in De Heeg. Friendly people and a nice lunch. Recommended. Convivial. It's nice that boats moor at the quay of the restaurant. Atmosphere.

Cozy place on the water with a beautiful view.

Nice atmosphere, located directly on the canal. Very friendly service staff, delicious food.

A nice place, and the staff is nice. But the food isn't great. I had the fish and chips myself, not recommended.

Staff in voluptuous skirts with thongs....wouldn't be appropriate, fried potatoes limp, and bowl of salad without dressing (very cheap)....meat/fish and fries were fine.

Really nice restaurant. Very cozy on the water. And coffee with orange cake

We have been to this restaurant in Heeg/NL several times over the past few years on our boating vacation. Always very satisfied with the service and food. We recommend.

Beautiful terrace on the water. Large portions.

When the weather is nice you can sit along the water where many nice boats pass by in the summer.

A nice restaurant on the water, in the center of Heeg. Friendly service, young people who do their best. The food is good but simple, don't expect anything special. Few vegetables are served with it. I had the schnitzel myself, it was a nice size, simple sauce on it, the meat was very dry. My wife had a stew, it was sufficient, tasted great, but here too the vegetables were missing. The dishes are served with a bowl of fries, apple sauce and (unprepared) lettuce.

Beautiful place on the water! Been coming there for many years. Nice service and delicious food. Too pricey! If we would prefer simpler main courses for a more reasonable price, we would come to eat much more often instead of just having a drink.

Service very poor, a request for a glass of tap water to swallow a pill was refused: "we can only offer spa blue or spa red."

Nice location, super nice staff, but the factory quibble probably came from Iglo. The pale fries were also suboptimal. Snack cart level

Please Stay away from this place! Our experience here was very disappointing. The food was expensive, tasteless and the portion sizes were very small. We left feeling hungry. The service was very poor. My friend got the rice that went with his main course over 10 minutes after the sauce that was meant to go with the rice. Of course the sauce was cold when the rice arrived. Furthermore the waitress did not know what the word "Rice" or "rijst" in Dutch meant. This seems very odd when working at a restaurant. The only pro i can think of is the fact that at least one of our aperol spritz was served in an aperol spritz glass. So to summarise please stay away!

Restaurant where I have eaten in recent years and where I went out as a youth. We arrived last week with the sloop, moored and then had a delicious meal food tasted good and salad was tasty.

The coffee was good, the Oranje Koek came with whipped cream, we were promised cream - that was a shame. The young ministry still needs to get going (probably summer staff).

Fantastically located by the water. Service and food perfect. Prices are reasonable.

It was nice and cozy, good service and a good atmosphere.

Good tent, nice service. The food was great and a nice atmosphere. You can also park with the boat. Definitely recommended in beautiful Friesland.

The food was delicious and there was also a wonderful atmosphere. The clerks were still very nice. The food was delicious. My steak cooked perfectly. If I could give it 6 stars I would. Have a nice meal here Recommended.

Nice little restaurant, was there with my wife. Beautifully located on the water. Food was delicious, reasonably priced, you're on vacation. Service was nice and always very fast. Having fun on the upper floor was a disgrace for older people.

Arrive in Heeg after a beautiful sailing trip. And then have dinner with friends in Heeg at d'Ald Wal. On the water in the evening sun. Nice service, relaxed atmosphere. Delicious dishes at normal prices. This way you will soon have a great Saturday evening in beautiful, rustic Heeg. Two of us took Surf & Turf. Another took a vegetarian menu. I personally went for the Stew. Delicious! It's a wonder my fingers are still on it. We drank the coffee on our own ship. Also nice. I don't have any photos of the food, but these photos show how quickly a person can be satisfied in Heeg.

Travelled to this place for lunch because of the star rating . Very disappointed with food .

Terrace right on the water and perfect for watching the boats go by. Our lunch was also very tasty: a bread with carpaccio and one with a hocked ball.

Great food. Everyone very satisfied. It would be nice if the waitresses would smile too.

Nice terrace to moor for a drink and lunch during a boat trip near Sneek.

Ordered two dishes there. A New York burger and a tomato soup. I can recommend the burger, the soup was ok, it would definitely have been more appealing with a cream topping and fresh herbs. The soup cup was hit on the top edge, something like that no longer belongs on the table. There two fair orders. A New York burger and a tomato soup. I can make the burger aanbevelen, the soup was ok, hey, he will have a delicious meal with a creamy topping and crumbs. The soepkop is on the bovenrand geraakt, zoiets heart niet meer on Tafel.

Beautiful terrace on the water.

The food wasn't great, but the ambiance made up for it!

Great restsurant right on the water. Cozy, great food.

Good restaurant with a changing menu depending on the time of day. The food (Stoofvlees and Kibbeling) was super tasty and sufficient. The beer menu is large. And you can dock all kinds of boats directly on site.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff unfortunately main sources portion rather suits for kids menu
