10. Hotel Cafe Restaurant van der Meer
Reviewed By Salty
On a Wednesday evening in October this restaurant only had a few patrons. It was after 7pm and most people in this region tend to eat earlier so perhaps this was the explanation for this. The wait service was good and the waiter spoke good English. We opted for typical Friesian and Dutch meals and we were not disappointed with either the quality or size of serves. The prices were reasonable. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone visiting Dokkum. Meal for 2 with pre-dinner drinks and wine cost around 70 euro. This restaurant and hotel is situated adjacent to the bridge on the Zuidergracht so I recommend a window table to take advantage of this pleasant view. You really know that you are eating in the Netherlands when you look out onto a scene such as this.

We verblijven een paar dagen in een B&B in Dokkum en omdat onze dochter van bijna 5 maanden lekker in haar bedje lag te slapen besloten we om tapas af te halen.We hebben lekker zitten smikkelen van de smaakvolle hapjes. Echt een aanrader! En ook nog eens voor een prima prijsje.

We dined here with a couple around 8:00 pm and sat along the canal. The restaurant provides heated tubes for comfort when the sun goes down. The atmosphere is casual. There is a good amount of staff. Organization of services is good and can use some improvement. There were some mix ups with delivery of wines because of the number of staff waiting on our table. The food was excellent. The shrimp starter was one of the best I have had. The seasonings were amazing. The ceasar salad was a Completely different spin on Caesar with bacon and tomatoes in it. The main courses of the sea bass was great and the pork schnitzel was very tender with perfect vegetables. Serving sizes were ample. Bathrooms are clean. An overall terrific experience in the gorgeous town.

On a Tuesday evening we found this restaurant around one third full. The service was good, the waiter offering good suggestions. We opted for the set Frysk (Friesian) menu which cost a reasonable 23.50 euro. This offered 3 or 4 small serve selections of each course. This turned out to be quite filling and we were very satisfied at the end of the evening.The atmosphere was such that we ended up in a round table discussion with 2 other tables of diners which made for a most enjoyable interesting and entertaining night. To top it off the restaurant offered all of us a complementary glass of Beerenburg, a typical Fries drink similar to Jenever.I recommend this restaurant if you are looking for reasonably priced food with an enjoyable atmosphere.

Picture perfect position on the Grootdiep Canal right in the centre of Dokkum. Service is efficient and staff have a good command of English. Meals are reasonably priced and we opted for the Friesian set menu at 23.50 euro. If the weather is fine do not miss the opportunity to eat outside overlooking the canal.Recommended.

Excellent pizza restaurant in the centre of Dokkum.The owner doesn't fully trust his financial advisors at the Rabobank: Their statistics say that most pizza restaurants in the Netherlands improve turnover for up to six years then go into a steady and terminal decline. However his turnover has grown steadily for over 20 years and shows no signs of slowing down ... And why is that ? Attention to detail â he keeps old favourites but adds new recipes when he comes across something amazing elsewhere, stays involved in every aspect of his business and chats to the customers to check theyâre happy. On a Friday evening (late night shopping in Dokkum) the restaurant was full with a mix of locals and tourists. Recommendation: Any pizza ! Portions are generous.Service quick (despite full restaurant) and excellent.Decor eclectic. Small mid-range wine selection. Coffee (espresso) was weak the last time we went.You may get a table without reservation but then be prepared to wait a while â¦. make a reservation in advance to avoid the problem.

The decor and the location are great and service very friendly. We were a party of 5 and 3 of us ordered Club Sandwich. We agreed that it was nice and fresh, but could have done with some dressing as it was very dry. Dear Fritsez2018,Thanks for your lovely review.We took care of the dressing of the club sandwiches.

We walked around Dokkum quite hungry. I wanted a hamburger because I live in Germany where the burgers are horrid. In the Netherlands they are really becoming a gourmet burger competitor with the US. So we kept walking around looking for a place and walked by this cute little restaurant a few times. We wanted outdoor seating in the shade (it was quite hot that day). Well I found a table in the shade and we ordered their burger with the "baked" potato which is actually like a roasted potato in the states. They were crisp and absolutely delicious. The burger was amazing. The spices were quite unusual but they were so good. It was a perfect lunch and we were so impressed with the staff as well. It is really a cute place and we will definitely stop back there the next time we are in Dokkum.

We enjoyed a nice lunch and were very kindly and efficient treated. It is centrally located and offers a nice view to the colorful comings and goings of people. Visit this place because it is attractive for a small city live observation but dont go there for the toilet which is definitly outdated and to small.The other toilet was out of order. Thats why you had to go to the old one downstairs. Guests normaly dont use that one. The real guest toilet is upstairs en new!
