Set in beautiful park Meijendel (part of the Wassenaar sand dunes) this restaurant is surrounded by nature. Great location with stuff to do for everyone; there are educational trails and activities, natural and man-made climbing obstacles for kids in the monkey bos, trails for walking, running, and cycling, a visitor centre, places to spread out for a picnic, and of course the pannekoeken (pancake) restaurant.
Wassenaar is one rich town but you'll find that people from all over the region visit the park. It's beautiful year round. When we were there there was a live feed of hatching owls in the attic above the visitor center. We visited right after a heavy rain, but it was no issue as the sandy soils of the dunes drain the water super fast. No mud or puddles.
We had drinks and pancakes in the restaurant. The restaurant is very comfortable and good size with indoor (including fireplace) and outdoor seating. Pancakes were definitely not the best (toppings "dumped" on top rather than cooked w the pancake) but came out pretty quick.
