This has been a standard go-to place for food for my family since the eighties. They've always been…read moregood for lunch and diner and despite the management change some years ago the food is still very decent. Service is quick and the beer selection is acceptable. Bicycle parking can be tough during the peak season but is no problem anytime but the summer. My personal favorite are the 'bonken' or better known to the rest of the world as baby-back spare ribs.

Wow I am surprised no reviews of Abby's as it is consistently recommended by the staff at the…read moreAmrath as the best location for dining in Alkmaar. Of course this recommendation is specifically why I have avoided Abby's (yes I know makes no sense). But a work colleague loves Abby's..so that is where I ended up.. I should have listened to the staff alot sooner..great spot for a meal. Started off with a Brand UP at the bar as the table for five was cleaned. Sat down and was promptly asked if we wanted a starter (Yes please two mixed starters for the table) and another drink (not yet). The reason I wish I had tried this location earlier was the daily fish special as well as some delicious items on the standard menu card. I went with the swordfish special (Zwaardvis) with tabbouleh salad and was very pleased. Companions had the tuna special (Tonjin) and a pasta and seafood item from the menu card (large pasta shells, swordfish, tuna, mussels and shrimp. I also added a savughion blanc to my meal. Dessert cards were promptly delivered post dinner and we discussed options (well they discussed I had my eye on a Highland Park single malt). They only bump in the otherwise perfect evening was a long delay from menu card delivery and return for our order (maybe 10 minutes). But it was very busy and this delay is so minor when compared to other restaurants I have visited. So Kudos to Abby's and I will certainly return on my next trip!

This experience can be described with one word, WOW! This is the best restaurant experience I've…read morehad in the Netherlands since we got here 3 years ago. If a grade of 5 stars +++ was possible they would get it! The restaurant is located in Hotel Greenside in De Koog (excelent hotell as well, stayed there twice). The staff was tentative, polite and quick, they could not have done a better job! We've ordered a three-course dinner, which they served a little teaser before, a white-asparagus soup with a cracker with serrano ham, very delicious. The starter was a steak-tartar, which they with no problem substituted for a more pregnant-friendly dish for my wife. (I cant exactly remember what the complete dish was, I should have written it down), I am attaching pictures to the review though! Main-course was a lovely cod with new-potatoes and a crab-sause reduction, it was absolutely perfect! Dessert, once again I should have written down exactly what it was, but it was some kind of mango-mouse with ice-cream on crumbles and a cake. If you are on Texel and want a really good restaurant and food experience, you have to visit this restaurant.
