Restaurant & snackbar Noordduinen in Landelijk gebied Katwijk

Whenever we're in the neighborhood, we always pop over. Nice beach bar.

Bad service, had to wait a very long time for our food and meat was defrosted from the microwave. Too bad, I'm used to more from the Bears. We eventually got our money back and ate elsewhere.

A delightful spot for those who love good, generous food. At Cairo, the sheer variety is immediately apparent. From shawarma, kebab, and chicken shashlik to various mixed platters and grilled dishes. There is also plenty of choice for those who prefer something else. The dishes are clearly and extensively described, and the portions are generous. What stands out most to me is the combination of flavor, quality, and the relaxed atmosphere. No unnecessary fuss, just good food, the kind you would expect from a good grill restaurant. The different types of meat and spices provide a nice variety, and the combination with salad, fries, and sauces makes the meal complete. Moreover, the prices are reasonable for what you get. The various mixed platters are particularly interesting if you want to try multiple flavors. A place where you can easily walk in for a quick meal, but where you can also enjoy a full meal. I would love to come back here.

We got married here, and everything was arranged perfectly from start to finish. The entire day unfolded in a relaxed manner and exactly as we had hoped. The venue was beautifully prepared, and the drinks and snacks were also excellently taken care of down to the smallest detail. The atmosphere, the location, and the hospitality made it complete. You can leave the organization to the team with peace of mind; they think along with you and ensure that you don't have to worry about anything. That gave us the space to fully enjoy our wedding day. We have nothing but praise for 't Wantveld. Highly recommended!

Normally, I am not someone who immediately writes a bad review after an unpleasant experience. But I did give my experience at Willy Noord last weekend some thought, and I would like to share it. I was delayed a bit due to a closed road to Katwijk. My girlfriend was already sitting on the terrace and had already ordered a glass of wine for me. I arrived with two children and our dog. One of the children needed to pee and ran inside, after which our dog unfortunately ran after her. That was absolutely not the intention. I immediately went after her to catch her and resolve the situation. I fully understand that a staff member might say: “The dog is not allowed inside.” That is perfectly fine, I get that. But the way this staff member lashed out at me, in front of my children, was something I really did not like. He was shouting through the restaurant, and I spoke to him about it: you are of course allowed to say something about it, but it can also be done in a normal way. After all, it was clear that I was trying to resolve the situation immediately. I then walked back to my table with the dog. For me, that was the end of it. To my surprise, the employee came after me to tap his finger on the house rules on the door again, quite disparagingly, to point out to me that dogs are not allowed inside. I indicated once again that it was absolutely not my intention for the dog to run inside and that I had just arrived. Then I was also told: “You haven't just arrived at all, because your wine is already there.” With that, I was accused of lying as well, even though my girlfriend, who was already sitting at the table, had ordered that wine for me. To be honest, that was the last straw. The rule that dogs are not allowed inside is perfectly clear to me. It is the way you are addressed as a customer that matters to me. Especially when you are trying to resolve an unintended situation yourself, I simply expect normal and friendly communication. If you are considering going to a beach bar with your dog, I would not choose Willy Noord based on this experience. It is a shame, because the location is of course beautiful.
