Spacious restaurant with outside terrace overlooking the harbour. Interior a bit dated but friendly and excellent service.
Favorite Dish: The fish fritters (called Kibbeling) are excellent! Well fried, lightly seasoned with homemade remoulade, good salad and good fries.
The fish soup by comparison was a bit of a disappointment. Too salty because of the smoked salmon (which doesn't belong in a fish soup in my opinion) and much too thick.

What do you eat in a centuries old fishermen's place??? Well, fish of course. Fresh from the sea it's distributed all over the land (and even exported), but here it's fresher then it will be anywhere else! Enough restaurants will offer you the finest fish-dishes one can think of.
Favorite Dish: Recommended is the "IJsselmeer-paling" (= eel) or "Schol" and "Slibtong" (both Northsea-fish. Enjoy your meal.

Urk's connection to the sea was unarguably stronger than most, as the town was formerly an island. The land mass around the island had been reclaimed from the sea, and nowadays one can drive to town...
Just like Schokland Urk used to be an island untill the 1930's. Urk has always been a place for fishers and it still is.
