"Have known this place for forever (it's been here for 40 years). I normally don't go to Dutch restaurants but took my Spanish friend here to experience the chicken sate. As usual it was really good. The staff is so friendly and relaxed, always in for a small chat with the customers. Quality of the food is really consistent and the location at the seafront is fantastic. If you're looking to eat some Dutch food, this is the place to go!"
