We were here with family members aunt M. and Frank on the final day of the Four Days' Marches, 18 July 2008. Also present were Frank's walking mate Wil and her family. I borrowed this picture from the website of the restaurant.
Favorite Dish: Some nice cool beer - König Ludwig Weissbier, a Bavarian brand apparently - mineral water, and Schnitzel. Jennie and I paid 15 euro each. We returned on 9 May 2009, and on that occasion I had a three course menu, the main course being chicken with honey thyme sauce, salad and french fries.
We returned to the scene in July 2009, July 2010, July 2011 and again in July 2012, on the last day of the Four Day's Marches and dined with the same friends over and over again (for those of you who've seen the movie, it has become a sort of 'Groundhog Day'-event).

This Italian/Greek restaurant was an extremely pleasant surprise, although we could have known since their motto is "good, cosy and cheap". How many restaurants actually live up to such a motto??
The prices are VERY reasonable (I would indeed almost say cheap) and the food is VERY good (and a lot!).
Waiters were fast and friendly. Nice atmosphere.
I unfortunately was so satisfied that I forgot to take a picture...so I stole a picture of a dish from their website :-)
Highly recommended!
If you have a look at their website, note that they also have a restaurant in Utrecht.

At the pancake boat you can eat "unlimited" pancakes during e.g. a 1 hour trip on the river Waal.
At the buffet you can get natural, apple or bacon pancakes, to which you can add your topping of choice (e.g. cheese, eggs, sweets etc).
"Unlimited pancakes" sounds better than it is, since you have to wait for the pancakes to be baked, and in our case the kitchen closed before the end of the trip.
And the combination of mild sea-sickness, beer and a few pancakes is also not exactly appetite-stimulating :-)
I could only eat three pancakes and my girlfriend who really loves pancakes managed to eat four of them...
However, the 1 hour boat-trip is included, although there is not too much to see along this part of the Waal river.
The hold of the ship is filled with balls, like a swimming pool with water. The kids can play here and after the trip they even let some adults in :-)
Departure times and prices 2012:
Wednesday and Saturday: 16.30 to 17.30 and 18.00 to 19.00
From July 8 to August 20 also on Thursday and Friday.
Adults € 15,00
Children (3-12 years) € 10,00
They also do longer cruises; Check the website for up-to-date information.

Great sphere, service and delicious food! They often serve most delicious French fries ever together with your main dish. Very very good quality food, for reasonable prices. Not only for dining, but also for lunch (they've got amazing sandwiches)
Favorite Dish: everything, nom nom..
Antwerps Stoofvlees is rather good (beer based stew), or Vlaamse Reus, or Flemish Waffles.

We had a small dinner party at Turkish restaurant De Serre on 8 April 2010. Here you can see me with my Peter, my Turkish teacher and fellow students.

This restaurant situated in front of the famous river, facing the famous bridge.
Good night view and easy to go for a round river tour.
Favorite Dish: We like the fish menu, as well the grilled mix-meat.
The fish was fresh, and the grilled mix meat was fantastic.

Well, it just has to be done, doesn't it? Having had a pleasant evening in de Nieuwe Maan, in which more than a few beers were consumed, the good old kebab shop beckoned. It was on the direct route from the pub to my hotel, it was whatever time in the early hours and whilst some temptations CAN be cast aside, I do find myself often lured by the seductiveness of a decent kebab.
This is as good as it gets. Friendly serving guy, a couple of hot chillies and though it wasn't quite as greasy as my personal preference it wasn't a bad kebab at all! You can eat in, take away or sit out on the covered little terrace all for the same price.
I can't remember what it cost but I'm sure it must have been on the inexpensive side.
