We have stayed in Diever regularly over the last few years and always call in for a family lunch or afternoon snack. Good value and helpful staff with English spoken and help given with the menu. Family freindly with a Terrace to watch the world go by.

Reviewed By TravelingCelt - Groningen, The Netherlands
Dwingerloo has quite a few attractive looking restaurants, but we choose this one due to its location over looking the Brink (which is a bit like a village green). This turned out to be a good choice. Its a pleasant grand cafe, with friendly staff. We had the selection of seafood starters, which turned out to be a good choice. Excellent quality and not expensive.

This is a restaurant with a very cosy feel over it. The lay out is spacious and the furniture feels like home. Staff is friendly and the food is honest and (if possible) from local farmers. The menu is not very big end things tend to be sold out between ordering and serving we experienced. But in Dwingeloo probabely the best place to have diner. Its the kind of place where you dont feel like leaving after you ate desert...and take another drink.

We went to rural Dwingeloo for one night and didn't want to eat at the hotel (see my other review). Riete had one Tripadvisor review, was nearby and has a decent looking website.
The soup for starters was nice. The bread fresh. The Aioli was weird; it looked and tasted suspiciously similar to Calve garlic sauce from a jar. We were a bit indecisive and asked the waitress if the cook could bring us a selection of 9 tapas. They brought out the dishes in sets of three, which was nice, starting with the cold ones. Again the sauces seemed to be coming for the supermarket and not made by the chef. The overall quality was nice though.
The two waitresses were correct, fast (and pretty). Only not really hospitable. A little informal talk would have been welcoming. The atmosphere was good, the (spot)lights were a bit bright.
Price-wise Riete does alright. We paid 80 euro's for three people. Charging (a little) money for tab-water seems a bit demeaning. Be there before 20.00u, or you will be denied service (kitchen closes)!
Overall not bad, but not memorable.

This is a hotel-restaurant in the center of Dwingeloo, opposite the church. I have not slept there but have heard its very good. I visit the restaurant every now and then for either lunch or a snakc or coffee. I think the ambiance is excellent. Inside are many cosy coeners and tables to sit and relax, and outside they have a nice Terrace with tables and chairs but also with nice lounge-benches. Absolutely good foor. I can only recommend this place.

Located so well at the Brink in Dwingeloo the new and upgraded 'De Zaagkoele' does offer a fine range of meals and drinks at several floors at choice in the farm house. A la cart or drinks and snacks are available, well served from a sound kitchen. Vegetarian meals are available as well!!
7. Luning's Restaurant
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 76 reviews
Reviewed By HenkT_11 - Port Stephens, Australia
Luning is a "must" stop when taking a bicycle trip through scenic Drenthe. Right in the middle of Ruinen (on the Brink = "village square") this cafe-restaurant has been there since donkeys years. Always good and friendly service and the cooking is like my mother did: nothing fancy but great taste and nourishing.
The speciality for the passing tourist-cyclist is the "pannekoek": a Dutch dish: flat unraised pancakes of flour, egg and milk. Traditionally the "pannekoek" is served hot and plain but also with a variety of extras: raisins, bacon, mushroom, cheese and a lot more... You always get sugarcane-sirup and or powder sugar (even with the bacon pannekoek that does not taste odd...)
After a pannekoek at Luning's you can sure do another 30 km on your push bike.

Reviewed By MJWoodstock - Inistioge, Ireland
I have been to this restaurant a number of times now but I have to say it gets better each time I am there. The last time I visited they had changed their menu and are now serving real French bistro dishes. The steak I had was utterly amazing and one of the best I have ever eaten. If you love this kind of food go to 't Olde Posthuus because they do it perfectly. The service was great too, the hostess (owner I think) was very friendly and recommended a delicious wine. The menu of the day offered real value for money.
The restaurant itself is so pretty real old Dutch style building right on the edge of a nature reserve, beautiful!

It's recommended to make a reservation. You can not only eat here. Downstaires is an area where you can 'kegelen'. Which is a kind of bowling. The restaurant has a nice cosey atmosphere. There is enough to choose from the menu. The portions are great. Not to much. We really liked the chocolate tart dessert.
Nothing fancy. Just good food and not expensive
