It far and away exceeded my hopes of finding good food in an area we knew little about. I enjoyed a lovely Trappist Beir. It was a wonderful start to the best meal I've had in 20 years of visiting the Nederlands. We shared the Duck Pate (Marbre van eendenbout, eendeniever, pruimenchutney, Aceto balsamico and brioche). It was fantastic. Absolutely Fantastic!!! Then we moved onto the Rump Steak with Frites (Dun gesneden rumpsteak van de houtskool BBQ, huisgemaakte frieten, seizoensgroenten en rodewijnsaus). The steak was excellent. Wonderfully tender with an outstanding sauce. To be totally honest though, the star of the meal though it was all perfect were the Frites. The absolute best frites I've had in all of Europe and the World. So crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Having the skin on set them so far above all the others with that added flavor I love from the skin. The meal is worth traveling 100 miles for. It will be a must go back to place for me on my next visit. Even if I have to rent a car and drive myself.

I cannot believe I have forgotten to review this wonderful restaurant. I came here already over…read morethirty years ago (pfff, no, don't do the math), back when it was only a type of glorified café/restaurant, and our dogs were welcome and would lay under the table while we were enjoying game that was hunted locally (sometimes by my then husband), and delivered from the local butcher shop. They were always respected for their authentic way of cooking foods, prepared with diligence and French finesse. I have not had a bad meal in all the years we have eaten there. They always make you feel special and have a lovely selection of wines and cocktails. This last time we sat next to the window to the kitchen: really fun as an aspiring cook to see how they run it. Plates were lined up and partially prepped. One of the more exclusive places around the Hoge Veluwe that I highly recommend. Enjoy your lunch, dinner or drinks!

I'm American and I have taken vacations at this park on 2 separate occasions, both were very…read moredifferent experiences. *! First time at Miggelenberg (bad experience): -For 2 people, we got a 4 person cabin because it was cheaper than a 2 person one, for whatever reason... -Driving up to our cabin, we noticed that our cabin was extremely close to the road, making my girlfriend and I feel like we had a bit less privacy than we were hoping for on our vacation. Absolutely no front yard, just a tiny spot to park the car in-front of the cabin. -We got into the cabin itself to discover that it was very unclean and had little silverfish bugs everywhere. The floors, counters, table and other surfaces were streaked like they had been lazily wiped off with a cloth soaked in dirty water. -We knew this going into the cabin that the bed in the main bedroom has 2 separate mattresses/box springs. For a couple, this was very uncomfortable to sleep on when we wanted to be close to each other, we kept falling in/laying in the gap between the mattresses. -The kitchen looked as though it could have used some updating and there wasn't a lot of space in the kitchen because of the big table and chairs sat in the middle of the room. There is also a small refrigerator. -For a 4-person cabin, the couch was only big enough to seat 2 people. Not that it mattered to us because it was only the two of us, I just thought it was strange. *! Second time at Miggelenberg (good experience): -We saved up for the luxurious 2-person cabin, for a 2 week stay, it cost over 1,200 euro ($1,595 USD). -Our cabin was off the road and surrounded by a hillside, making my girlfriend and I feel as though we finally had enough privacy. -Upon walking into the cabin, there was an odd smell, like burnt food, but it faded away fairly quickly. -The cabin was a lot cleaner than the first one, but my girlfriend insisted on cleaning everything again anyway because she didn't trust it. -The bed in the bedroom is a HUGE bed, I'm guessing it was a king size, plenty of room for a couple to sleep (and other stuff) comfortably. -Another plus is there is a wall-mounted TV in the bedroom. -Big, comfortable sectional couch. -Nice, updated kitchen area, large refrigerator with plenty of room to move around while you cook. -Toilet and bathroom were combined into one room, like they are in America. *! Overall PRO's of Miggelenberg: -The beautiful, hilly, tree-filled landscape of the park made me feel at home, since where I live in the states is very hilly and tree-filled. -Lots of activities and places to walk/explore. -Has an indoor pool (which we've never used, but it's nice that it's there). -All cabins have access to the internet if you bring your laptop. -Petting zoo. -The restaurant in the park, Timbers, caters to vegetarians by labeling menu items that are vegetarian friendly. -Has a little grocery store in-park that has basic foods and fresh baked breads, rolls and croissants. *! Overall CON's of Miggelenberg: -Internet in the cabins is painfully slow. If you want to upload a video to the internet about your vacation to share with your family and friends, you might be waiting a very long time for it to upload. Average time for my videos to upload were around 200-500+ minutes. -The restaurant in the park, Timbers, was rather expensive. My girlfriend invited her family to come with us to dinner at Timbers and the bill was outrageous. My girlfriend and her mom ordered steaks and both steaks arrived cold. Portion sizes were a bit lacking on the steaks and the schnitzels were kind of puny. The pasta I got, which had the most food out of everyone's, was the cheapest thing on the bill... weird. -Snack bar sadly didn't have vegetarian croquet on the menu, only a small con, but still kinda sucked. -I'm not sure on this because we never did any of the activities in the park, but I read in some other review somewhere that you have to pay to do a lot of the activities in the park. With the price of cabin rentals, you shouldn't have to pay extra for the other stuff, like miniature golf. I can understand bike rentals, but c'mon. -Amusing con, one of the goats in the petting zoo is extremely greedy. If you buy some of the feed to give the animals, he will stand up on the fence and wrap his head around the board and try to lick the feed out of the machine before you have a chance to give any to other goats. Helps to have another person with you to block either side of the machine to get the feed out. Also split the feed up between you and the other person so the poor other goats can have some too because the greedy one will butt the other's out of the way so he can have all of it. We call this goat, Phil the greedy b*st*rd. *! My opinion of Miggelenberg: -I like this park, regardless of my first bad experience there. I will probably continue to vacation here with my girlfriend so we can get away from her parent's house... at least until she gets a place of her own, but until then...

My first review for what we call in the Netherlands a 'snack bar' and I am considering carefully…read morehow many 'stars' do you assign to such a place? Because as far as snack bars go, this one is my preferred location (of the 3 in our village) but that is mostly because they have the nice and sweeter peanut sauce--which I like but does not represent the 'official' version of the Indonesian peanut sauce--it is probably just the kid in me that likes it. So why do I dare to judge? I ate the fried half chicken the other day, as a salute to the Dutch 'vette hap' or fat bite, as us Dutchies call fast food--a much better translation of its content, I cannot help but feel. And if it had been decently fried, I would have given them four stars, but unfortunately the chef cooked it way too long and sometimes it felt like I was chewing on a piece of jerky: way too hard, still a tiny little bit of chicken taste left. Whereas we had requested he fry the french fries longer, and he didn't. Of course, you can always get the old and trustworthy coffee and applepie (from frozen but not bad ;0) and not worry about the food. Maybe this is the way the new chef operates, as I did not recognize him from before, but I hope the old one comes back so I can update this review.
