De Grachthof
A family-run restaurant by the main canal that also rents boats, with a south-facing terrace overlooking passing boats.
Family-run, the business began as a farm and was renovated into today's restaurant in 2006. It also rents small boats, electric silent boats and canoes. Located on the main canal in the village center, its south-facing terrace overlooks passing tour boats and is one of the village's most popular terraces. The menu is extensive, with a signature Spanish tapas platter served with a glass of wine, along with flambéed pancakes, barbecue ribs, burgers and a daily seasonal dish. Meals cost about 25-35 euros per person, and there is a free parking lot. Opening hours change with the season, and the official site notes some weekday closures.
