Strandpaviljoen 't Zilt in Wijk 00 Harlingen

Great tenderloin with tasty tuna melt and delicious beer. And excellent service. Atjoow

Cozy beach pavilion. Enjoyed a lovely lunch with the family. Friendly service. Highly recommended!

Great location, delicious food and a beautiful view over part of Harlingen and the Wadden Sea.

I've been coming here for years, but there's been a change of staff now, and I have to reacquaint myself with the staff. The atmosphere feels a bit unfamiliar to me. I had a cappuccino with pumpkin spice syrup and fish and chips. I was charged €25.50 for it. The fish was a whole cod in batter. The meat was deliciously juicy, and the batter tasted faintly like oliebollen (Dutch doughnuts), which was a nice touch. The fries were too salty for me, so I only ate a few. The sauces (ravigot and mayo) were delicious, as was the salad with dressing. I brought the dog, and he got a small pot of water. The location is phenomenal; I'll definitely be back.

Beautiful beach restaurant with a great view of the Wadden Sea in front of Harlingen.

Nice cafe on top of the dike, in a beautiful spot on the Wadden Sea. Lovely view of the harbor and the incoming boats. Easily accessible for people with disabilities, but you do have to ignore a traffic sign.

Cozy, great view, friendly service.

Typical beach pavilion. We stopped by for coffee and cake, and the cake was really delicious, but really expensive! The beach was a stinking pile of mud from some kind of work, and therefore not a great view, but I guess it's different in high season.

It's lovely sitting there with a view of the sea. What's less pleasant is the English-only waitress.

Whenever we're back in our hometown of Harlingen, we always find ourselves at 't Zilt. We often enjoy a drink and the view, and the service is always friendly. The menu is a bit limited, and (too) often they can't provide something. What they do serve is good, though the portions are a bit small...but hey...in nice weather, sitting outside at this location is hard to beat...great.

After a walk, we had a drink and a portion of bitterballen. Friendly service. We sat on the terrace with a lovely view of the mudflats.

Nice place to have a drink or a bite to eat, with a variety of seating options and friendly staff. Although I do think the roof is leaking a bit.

Cozy beach pavilion, nice and relaxing with a view.

The location is okay, but the food is terrible.

Beautiful location! It's a shame that while we were seated, the staff were moving tables and chairs. It was uninviting and the kind of noise you'd rather avoid when enjoying a meal out. The food was decent. Not refined. The sauce was sloppy, which overpowered the starter. The salty salad with imitation crab is not recommended.

Just as my sister and I had ordered drinks, they had a glitch in the system, which meant the orders weren't going through. But in the end, we sat down and enjoyed a few beers.

the only beach pavilion in the area. also the only beach in the area

Super friendly and delicious. Dogs are welcome. Even celiacs can eat well here. The staff is very accommodating.

Wonderfully located on the beach. The price is totally reasonable. I felt the service was a bit overwhelmed, as it took a bit longer.

We had a wonderful meal and sat on the terrace. Although the high chairs on the terrace aren't meant for long dinners, as they have a rim on overly large bottoms. The view was of the sea, and everything was delicious (for 4 people, 45 euros per person).

We had a wonderful meal in a beautiful setting with a stunning view of the Wadden Sea. The conservatory and terrace are lovely. We had a wide selection of dishes, including vegetarian options. Original and delicious salads. The service was prompt and attentive (the table was cleared twice, and an empty carafe of water was exchanged for a full one). Excellent value for money. Within walking distance of Harlingen (another great destination). We'll definitely be back!

Dogs are welcome. The atmosphere is relaxed.

The food was fine, but the service was somewhat vague (mentally) absent.

Long wait, poor service, no one comes by for drinks. The food is good but could be much better.

This beach pavilion, 't Zilt, is beautifully situated, overlooking the Wadden Sea and close to Harlingen harbor. A view that many people found hard to resist, considering the crowds. The service is excellent, and we're soon enjoying coffee and pastries. It's excellent. In short, it's highly recommended, and we'll undoubtedly return for dinner, as the view looked fantastic. The Wadden Sea offers a pleasant spot to enjoy the wind, even if the temperature is a bit lower.

It's nice to sit outside for lunch.

How can it suddenly be so bad? We've always had good experiences. New owner? We're going to give it another try; I can hardly believe it.

Beautiful spot on the mudflats! Cozy and atmospheric.

It's strange that you can't order ice cream at three o'clock on a beautiful summer day. Only during dinner. The restrooms could use some attention and hygiene. The smell is awful. It's a shame, a beautiful place, and I'm sure they could make a good living with a little more attention.

Nett gelegenes Lokal direkt am Strand von Harlingen. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich😊. Aperol Spritz für 9,50€ - großes Glas, leider zu wenig Aperol, Prosecco schmeckte stark nach Holz - natürlich Geschmacksache :) außerdem gibt es kleine Snacks, Suppen und andere Gerichte.

Cozy and delicious food and drinks

For years, this has been our regular spot when we go for a weekend walk on the dike: drinks and/or lunch. Unfortunately, for the past few months, we've had the same experience as others here. It takes ages for someone to come and take an order. The staff seems to pretend they don't see you. Once your order (drinks) is taken and you ask for the menu, it also takes a long time to get it. And then you have to order lunch...? When people ask where their order is, it comes across as very clumsy when the staff tells them it's very busy (the terrace wasn't completely full, but a few tables in the new extension and inside the "old section" were occupied). What do you mean, busy? The real problem is: poor coordination, inexperienced staff, and above all, a shortage of staff. A solution could be QR codes on the tables.

The beach pavilion has been renovated and is now partially covered. It looks great.

After sitting for twenty minutes, we approached the waitress and asked if we would like to order drinks and food. The drinks arrived fifteen minutes later, and after an hour, still no food. We asked the waitress how long it would take. She knew what we had ordered, but the order hadn't been received by the kitchen.

Very simple beach pavilion. Beautiful! View of the sea.

Beautiful location, delicious food and friendly staff, definitely recommended.

Terrace packed and yet fast service as previously reported by others, nothing to complain about

We spontaneously stopped for lunch. Lovely, peaceful atmosphere. Simple menu, but excellent. The Tuna Melt sandwich was delicious. Beautiful unobstructed view of the mudflats, accompanied by the sounds of seagulls and other birds. Tip for the owner: invest in more parasols for shade on the terrace. Your guests were having a blast here this afternoon. I was lucky to have one of the few parasols above my table.

I was helped by a very nice young man. He immediately offered me a beer when I entered. Then this boy also came to sit with me to keep me company. It was a very pleasant experience. I will definitely come here more often.

nice tent, beautiful view! recommendable!

As other reviews say: go here for the view. Not when you are hungry or thirsty. Took 45 min until we had a drink and another hour until the food was served. Food was also very poor and way too fatty. Nope, you won't see me here again.

Waited a long time before we could place our order while it was not busy. Then waited even longer but got nothing, the staff walks past you several times without looking up or around. We finally left again

Had a positive experience at this beach pavilion, unparalleled.

We spent the final part of our tour of the Netherlands here. Great service, what more could you want? Thanks to the service.

I got some very tasty and fresh squid rings :) One portion was already too much for me, even though the bowl looked small 😅

Lovely spot high on the dike, with a beautiful view over Harlingen and the mudflats.

Highly recommended. Delicious food. Very friendly staff. Everything was very clean.

Last Saturday I tried to have a drink here... After about 20 minutes I asked one of the staff members if we could order something. The people sitting at our table had arrived earlier and had not been able to place an order either. But anyway, I placed my order and 20 minutes later still nothing! When the couple next to us said that they had ordered 2 cokes more than 20 minutes ago, the waiter said that they had them specially made for them from the factory in America, so some patience was required. That was reason enough for me to leave. And then I read previous comments here and the service here has been terrible for a long time. Too bad, the location is beautiful and should definitely be worth a visit.

Had a great meal at Pentecost weekend and had delicious snacks the day before Beautiful location and good service

Really particularly bad food. Dry old bread as a breadboard with pesto, tapenade and mayonnaise as a dip?! Not to be messed with. 7.50 for three dr Oetker mini pizzas and black fried crispy chicken for the salad. Unbelievable. Service was very friendly but inexperienced. After almost leaving everything in complete (except for the mini pizzas) they didn't ask about the experience anymore.

We were here for lunch in the afternoon. They offered the lunch menu. We went to the new section, where you have a great view of the sea. The tables and benches are fine. And it was easy to get to the spot with two strollers. Unfortunately, everything was sandy. Sticky and dirty. The restrooms were too. Service took a while, even though there were plenty of waiters on site. Annoyed by all this, we ordered sandwiches and a children's portion of kibbeling. We were very surprised, because the food was delicious. We can't explain why the service was so slow. There are parking spaces behind the dike. Accessible only via stairs. From the town, you can also get there on a paved path at ground level.

Nice location, but you have to do a lot to order something to eat or drink and then a lot of patience. Bad communication, there is no logic or anything. And this while they were not full for a long time. For us no second time.

I have never experienced slower service in my life, maybe it would have been faster if I had gone to another restaurant to order. The staff happily walks past me and completely ignores me. I leave

The place is lovely but you have to make a lot of effort to order and then also wait at least half an hour for the drinks. We looked up the menu online because we didn't get it after we asked for it. The service doesn't seem to see the seriousness of the many people waiting and walks around at their leisure. The food was otherwise fine!

A very nice place to unwind. Everyone is very friendly.

Place is beautiful. Staff is more concerned with each other than with the customers.

We just had a drink there. Fresh mint tea and coffee tasted delicious. Friendly staff, good value for money for the location. Great view.

It all looks nice. Cozy furnishings. After fifteen minutes we are asked if we want something to drink. We report that we also want to have lunch. Drinks are brought. We only receive the map after 45 minutes. Eating also takes some time. The food was fine and tasty, but they could do something about the service.

Upon arrival the atmosphere did not feel pleasant. We noticed that other guests had been waiting for their drinks and the opportunity to order for a longer time. Nevertheless, we decided to take a seat and ordered a drink. We also wanted to eat something, but it took a very long time before the waiter came to us. When we finally got a menu we still hadn't received our drink. The slow and disinterested service made us feel unwelcome. Finally we decided to leave.

Heerlijk gegeten op een prachtige plek aan het water! Ze hebben net een nieuw terras aangelegd. Personeel is vriendelijk en het eten de shortrib en de zalm waren super! Voor een strandtent gewoon een goed restaurant met lekker eten!!

excellent food, perfect location but really very slow staff.

Beautiful view of the harbor and the sea. The menu is quite expensive, while the food is not that special either. Service was fine

Nicely located on the dike above the beach. View of the North Sea and delicious food.

The coffee was very good, unfortunately the staff was very rude and unfortunately I couldn't place a food order because I wasn't served.

Delicious food for a fair price and good and friendly service.

Very good food, nice to sit and relax and nice service

Helaas teleurstellend bezoek. De locatie is fraai maar voor de rest moet je niet bij zilt zijn. De bediening is erg druk vooral met zichzelf. Ze staan kletsend aan de bar met rug naar gasten toe, nemen tijd om zelf te gaan eten op spitsuur en zitten uitgebreid aan stamtafel op een laptop terwijl gasten niet bediend worden. Duurt lang voordat je eindelijk de aandacht kunt krijgen. Vervolgens vraag je om menu kaart en die wordt niet gebracht. Weer wachten. Uiteindelijk besteld, thee, taartje en een soep. Nadat we al lang de de thee en mijn man zijn taart op hadden was mijn soep nog niet gekomen. We zijn toen maar opgestapt. Bij afrekenen stond natuurlijk de soep op de bon. We zeiden die is niet gekomen. Oh werd gezegd en zonder verdere excuses of wat dan ook werd de soep eraf getrokken en hebben we betaald. Wat een vreselijke onprofessionele gang van zaken. Als ze geld willen verdienen met deze tent zou ik eerst zorgen om de boel op orde te brengen en wat beter personeel op te leiden. Ons zien ze niet meer terug.

Cozy, nice people and a great location!!

We like to come here from Amsterdam to enjoy the Wadden Sea, the sea, the view and the food. But today, on the terrace, someone was sitting at a table opposite us, watching television on his mobile. Without earphones. 1.5 hours of non-stop football. Of course we had just ordered. The staff was fine with it under the motto that this is everyone's own responsibility. Apparently it is not the staff's responsibility to protect other guests from such inconvenience. Shame.

Nice and cozy beach pavilion. The food was of very good quality. And also enough. Reservations are recommended on a sunny day. Otherwise there is a good chance that there will be no room.

Fantastic, the service was perfect and the food is delicious

I say no, service is sweet but messy. Waited an hour for fish and chips. And the fish was pretty tasteless. The dough had the taste of wet cardboard. The chips were great.

Nope. Not in good order. The order in which food is served is completely random, which means that people (including us) wait hours for food that is too simple. Wine after the meal. We suspect not fresh but frozen fish. Top fries. But that was it. Location provides the 2 stars. Although that is not the tent itself but the sea.

Such a beautiful place but unfortunately on the most beautiful day (many people are walking and want to drink a cup of coffee) they close at 3:30 PM Apologies: we are closing due to crowds 😂 Incomprehensible how people in the catering industry think 😜 They complain about high energy costs, but they don't really care about the cause

The pavilion was closed, but we were able to get some fresh air on the beach

Service friendly. Fantastic view of the sea. However, the smell (somewhat) disturbs the ambience. My tip: Ideal for a midday snack with the children. -- (Small) child-friendliness 4/5 Price-performance ratio 3/5 Feel-good factor 3/5 Accessibility 4/5 Anti-greedflation 3/5 FOMO* factor 4/5 (*Fear of missing out, i.e. you absolutely have to visit this location)

Heerlijk lunchen voor een prima prijs. Een kleine kaart met lekkere gerechten. Wij kozen voor een broodje geitenkaas en een broodje geitenkaas.

Had a nice meal at 't Zilt on the beach of Harlingen. The service was attentive and the meals were well prepared and tasty.

Recommend Salade Zilt and Grutte Pier Tripel beer, delicious and drinkable

It's quite a shame that people now regularly come here if they ask for drinks, they come quickly, but you can wait an hour before they come to you to ask what you want to eat. Happened twice now in 1 week, which is a bit of a shame

Had a nice lunch, the food was tasty and it is a beautiful place.

Small but nice menu, plenty of choice.

Very tasty fish & chips with a lovely view and good service. Recommended!!

Had a coffee and cake here this morning. It is really in a beautiful place. There is plenty of space inside and there is also a beautiful outdoor terrace. The pastries come from the bakery in the village. So very tasty. The staff is very friendly. The dog is also allowed inside, so that's great!

Nice place, easy parking at the bottom of the dike. Nice lunch

A very nice location with the greatest customer unfriendliness! As a guest, you are not seen or greeted when you enter. In the spring of this year, we as guests had to wait at the entrance near a sign that said: "We will be with you shortly". That 'like' lasted 20 minutes and in the meantime you stood in a hall with 15 other guests until, by the grace of God, you were allowed to enter. You are taken to a free table, no free choice. No, this one is free, you can sit there. Choose your own tables...pffft, no way, they decide where you sit. There were two of us, the waitress comes and takes the order: 1 coffee and 1 cappuccino, it didn't get more complicated than that. 5 minutes later another waitress comes and asks: "who is the coffee for?" It turned out to be difficult, why not 1 waitress on a number of tables? When you order food, you can't say "enjoy your meal", when you pay you just have to hope that someone has time to take your money. Last Thursday, I thought the weather was nice so we went to the beach of Harlingen and I thought after 3 disappointing visits...okay, give the benefit of the doubt, something must have changed, everyone has to grow and learn, after all. My partner and I both ordered a croquette with bread...we got 1 plate together with 2 croquettes and 2 rolls. We just placed the plate in the middle. And...of course, because that is apparently policy in this place, we were not asked to 'enjoy your meal'. 2 male/female employees on the work floor and the shack was full, so we did not feel the freedom to ask for a second plate and cutlery. Then we had to wait another 10 minutes at the cash register until someone had time to take our money. After 4 visits to this very customer-unfriendly place that is located in the most beautiful spot in Harlingen (unfortunately) I am certainly an expert on what not to do in the catering industry. Oh yeah, "thanks for visiting" isn't in the job description either. There is still a lot to learn...

Just great! Many thanks to the top staff!

After a lovely walk with the dog, have a coffee on the terrace and enjoy the beautiful mild weather.

Nice place, quick service and delicious food. Recommended!

Friendly service, well organised

Very nicely located on the beach! Food good, prices…..well….but overall good!

Delicious food and enjoyed the view.

Out of the city, out of the hustle and bustle. And the staff is simply wonderful.

I ate here for the first time last Friday. The service was perfect, my dog ​​even got water. The salmon sandwich was delicious. Friendly people and a beautiful place to eat. I will definitely come again.

We have never had such delicious fish and chips. The staff were very attentive and friendly☺️. We'd love to come back.

We come here quite often, in summer but also for a winter walk. The last few times we have sat outside on the terrace and the place is great. Bacchus beer + fish board is our favorite. What greatly affects the stars is the incredibly slow service. When you are seated it takes forever before they come by and when you have finally ordered 2 drinks it takes a very long time before you get them. How difficult is it to bring 2 bottles of beer with 2 glasses? Very irritating!

When a friend orders a salad that looks so tasty that even the ants fly towards it! According to the service, "this ant had flown in from outside" (even though it clearly crawled out of the dish) and taking the dish back was especially not possible, and getting something else was only possible for a fee. Extra protein, shall we say? 🤢 Extra points for the downright fan-tas-tic service and especially engaging in discussions with the customer, in the category "we have no problems with vermin in our kitchen". The Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority will definitely come back here! We don't.

Great service and good location. Unfortunately we didn't eat but there was plenty to choose from!

Nice location, €5 for a 0% beer is normal?!! And after 10 minutes of asking if you still want one, I don't think it's okay

Although it is right by the sea, you can only see the mud because of the low tide. Nevertheless, the view is of course great. The food is good but nothing exceptional. The staff was friendly. However, you had to ask for each card individually in order to be able to view it.
