The food was delicious , they have vegetarian options (2 on the menu and 1 proposition of the day). The service was fast and absolutely friendly. There is a nice terrace with view on the lake, but the inside is also very cosy. Our dog was more than welcome and immediately got a bowl of water. I absolutely recommend the place :). It is preferable to reserve a table though.

Just had a three courses meal there and I have nothing but great things to say about the place! The…read moreplace is cozy with a nice terrace. The dishes were well presented with a great taste. Top notch quality for 27,50 per menu (with some additional costs on certain dishes though do keep in mind!) Definitely recommended if you are in Hilversum!

From the owner: De Eend met terras aan het water!…read more De Eend is een sfeervol restaurant met een grote serre en een groot terras gelegen aan de Vuntusplas te Loosdrecht. De Eend wordt geroemd om zijn uitstekende keuken en om de gezellige en gastvrije sfeer.Op het moment dat U uw auto verlaat en naar De Eend toeloopt merkt U meteen dat deze locatie anders is dan U van menig restaurant zou verwachten. De combinatie van restaurant, zoetwater-visserij, jachthaven en botenbouw is natuurlijk niet zo snel gevonden. Eenmaal binnen wordt U omarmd door de warme en gastvrije sfeer van het interieur. Een ongedwongen sfeer van stijlvol, klassiek met een snufje Eend.

We stopped in here for lunch, after walking around the castle in the morning. This restaurant is a…read moreshort 15 min walk from the castle. There's plenty of seating inside, and outside, and it's seat yourself wherever you like. Our server was great, and provided us lunch menus in English. I also pulled up the 'drink' menu, and translated it into English (they have some fun beer snacks including bitterballen). I started with a tripel, and opted for the onion soup for lunch (and some bitterballen). The onion soup was very flavorful, with plenty of onions, and a nice piece of bread, with plenty of cheese on top. The bitterballen were very tasty, and exactly as I remember them - crispy on the outside with a meat mouse inside - delicious (particularly with a beer). We really enjoyed our stop here!

Well. We got married here. That might say enough. But lets begin at the beginning. This restaurant…read moreis situated in the idyllic town of Haarzuilens. It's quite like an open-aired museum: all the homes are retained in a sort of medieval style and the town wants to keep it this way. It's our own little Stars Hollow, for the Gilmore Girl fans out there. It's very near the castle (Ter Haar) and actually build in the same timespan. It used to be the gathering place for the town's leaders. Lots of history to the place for sure. The staff is very friendly and consistent. Some places have new staff all the time. 't Wapen has a senior staff that is always around and it's such a pleasure when they get to know you and remember you. The food is of good quality. They don't offer a lot of vegetarian options, but their pancakes rock and you will certainly get a bit portion of whatever you decide to order. It's a great place for families as well, old or young. For our wedding, we found out they used the upper part of the building for ceremonies and dinner parties (among others). We took a look in their ceremonial room and knight room and new it was the perfect place for our tiny, intimate wedding. We requested a completely vegetarian dinner menu (three courses with three options) and they altered a couple dishes to provide this for us. They accommodated our needs perfectly and we could leave everything to the experienced staff (they had more experience with weddings then we did, anyhow!) Overal the staff was so friendly and helpful and they made our big day into a wonderful, cozy and unforgettable pleasant experience. So yes, this place has a special place in our hearts. It might not be the best of reviews because, hey, not everyone plans to wed here, but I'd still love to share our experience. If you are in the neighborhood, add a walk through the castle's garden and the town and come here for lunch, dinner or a drink. On a beautiful spring day, I'm sure you will not be disappointed.

The restaurant itself is in in a nice location and the waiting staff are nice enough. The food is…read moreOK, but a bit overpriced for the quality however the Front of House, Maître d' is basically rude and has zero customer service skills. He seems to think he has a position of power and is arrogant and rude to the guests. It is a shame that whoever owns the restaurant probably doesn't realise that he is putting paying customers off visiting the restaurant. We will think twice about going again. Perhaps he needs some training on how to treat customers as he basically has no hospitality skills whatsoever.
