    Amazing fresh food, nice vibe, good quality for money. For the first timers, there are no waiters. You have to enter through "ingang", grab a tray and order your food, pay at the "kassa", find a table and enjoy! You also have to take your utensils to a designated area before leaving.

    Great location for going on walks. But I ordered a large flat white, which is a cappuccino without bubbles. They gave me a small one, for 3.50, which I questioned. She said there's only the small size for flat whites. A small cappuccino costs 2.50 and a small flat white costs 3.50. So an extra euro for what? Less air?! OK thanks for the reply La Place, I didn't realize it's a double shot, so that's fine then! Coffee was good thanks!

    The location is convenient to my home. The setting is excellent, especially for individuals walking a long distance or taking a lengthy journey. You can stop here for a drink without leaving the road or the great outdoors. However, I am apprehensive that most customers do not clear their tables after eating here. The place must be short on staff because dirty plates are everywhere when you sit down. As a result, it leaves one with an unpleasant sensation. Management, in my opinion, ought to investigate. Because it has a ripple effect on how satisfied consumers like me are with the service.

    This is a self-service restaurant in the middle of a natural park. Great place to have a long walk to and then take a break and have a coffee. They also give you a random discount coupon (and sometimes a coupon for free coffee) if you scan your customer card in the app on your visit.

    Feb 2023 New buffet for the pastries, much bigger ;-) and added a saladbar. Remains a nice place to visit especially since the cows are now there in the bag yard ;-) Older A nice place to visit. Good quality, really nice pastry ;-) and focaccia's remain good. The flow with the cash desk and coffee is a little strange and there can be a line for the coffee ...

    Welcoming staff, quite yound and warm. Concerning the food, it's well presented and quality is fair, good value. I can't judge the place (for I had take-away), but I spotted nice tables and a terrace. The place seems adapted to people with motion disabilities (parking, large doors).

    vegan burger option was just what i needed. brioche bun isn’t vegan so ask for it on pita bread. but the avocado mash burger with the vegan patty was about €8,5

  • 4/5 Carole C. 4 years ago on Google • 44 reviews
    Nice, clean restaurant with a good variety. Lots of soups, salads, smoothies, etc to choose from. I didn't try their pastas but they looked good. Their seasonal selection for autumn was quite tasty. I'd eat here again.

  • 4/5 PJ H. 4 months ago on Google • 37 reviews
    The new system for waiting for your coffe or drinks takes a lot of time when it's a little busy. We timed some customers and they have to wait for almost 9 minutes into a row to get there drinks.

  • 4/5 Aristides G. 2 months ago on Google • 18 reviews New
    Great place to have a quick warm lunch or coffee for very reasonable prices. Also very good deal on breakfast. Sitting is very casual and the food area is free flow (you chose and put on tray and pay at Central register. In winter months the green pea soup with/without worst and bacon on rye is definitely recommended.

  • 1/5 Seven Y. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Ice coffee tasted like cold water with a little bit of coffee in it. The employee indicated that this is the intention. Really wonder if they tasted it themselves, because I really don't believe that a restaurant owner wants to sell a small glass of cold water with a little coffee flavor for 4 euros. Unfortunately it is not like it used to be. (Original) Ijs koffie smaakte als koud water met een klein beetje koffie er in. De medewerker gaf aan dat dat de bedoeling is. Vraag me echt af of ze het zelf geproefd hebben, want ik geloof echt niet dat een restauranthouder een klein glaasje koud water met een beetje koffie smaak voor 4 euro wilt verkopen. Het is niet meer zoals vroeger helaas.

  • 2/5 Linda N. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Small piece of steak and pizza queued. Therefore not eaten together. Friendly staff. (Original) Klein stukje biefstuk en pizza stond in de rij. Daardoor niet gezamenlijk gegeten. Wel vriendelijk personeel.

  • 3/5 Rob K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Bit chaotic staff in the kitchen. Orders are criss-crossed and things are often forgotten. Food is good but it is not a well-oiled machine in the kitchen. (Original) Beetje chaotisch personeel in de keuken. Bestellingen lopen kriskras door elkaar heen en er worden vaak dingen vergeten. Eten is goed maar het is geen geoliede machine in de keuken.

    (Translated by Google) Nice location, busy, easily accessible. But incredibly pricey for the quality. Well eaten by the way. (Original) Leuke locatie, druk, goed bereikbaar. Maar ontzettend prijzig voor de kwaliteit. Wel prima gegeten overigens.

  • 4/5 Sten von K. 3 years ago on Google
    Liked the food and good value at that price but service was quite slow. 1 cashier at lunch rush is not enough....

    (Translated by Google) Delicious dishes! Also nice to take a break here during a cycling / walking tour. (Original) Heerlijke gerechten! Ook fijn om hier even pauze te nemen tijdens een fiets/wandeltocht.

  • 1/5 Arie van D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very bad ... It was not possible to choose pastries ... only one kind in stock ... Left disappointed. (Original) Zéér slecht... Het was niet mogelijk gebak te kiezen... slechts één soort voorradig... Zijn teleurgesteld weggegaan.

  • 3/5 David Van der h. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Had a nice meal here, they hadn't asked for a bouncer once. So the pizza boy (tinted young man) made a pizza. Slightly different from normal, so I thought that was a 10+ for customer friendliness. It is also difficult to keep the meter and a half around the checkout area. People are too close to each other. Here's another downside; Dogs are welcome and allowed, they have their own entrance, which is behind. Now that we have entered there at the MAIN entrance, walkers with their dogs go the same entrance. Personally I think this is NOT possible, due to hygiene. The animals walk by as much as the food. There is an employee at the entrance (for the contact forms) and he does not say anything about it .. there are clear signs that animals are not allowed near the kitchen / buffet. Love dogs, but they have to stay far away from my food. So that did ruin the appetite. Furthermore, a beautiful la place in a beautiful walking location. (Original) Lekker gegeten hier, een keertje om een uitsmijter gevraagd, hadden ze niet. Dus heeft de pizza boy (getinte jongeman) een pizza gemaakt. Iets anders dan normaal, dus dat vond ik wel een 10+ voor het klantvriendelijkheid. Verder is het wel lastig om de anderhalve meter te bewaren rond het kassa gedeelte. Men staat veel te dicht op elkaar. Hier nog een minpunt; Honden zijn welkom en toegestaan, deze hebben een eigen ingang, en dat is achter. Nu wij daar bij de HOOFD ingang naar binnen zijn gegaan, gaan wandelaars met hun hond de zelfde ingang. Persoonlijk vind ik dit NIET kunnen, ivm met hygiëne. De dieren lopen zo langs als het eten. Er staat een medewerker bij de ingang (voor de contact formulieren) en die zegt er helemaal niks over.. er staan duidelijk borden aangegeven dat dieren niet in de buurt van de keuken/buffet mogen komen. Ben gek op honden, maar ze moeten vér van me eten vandaan blijven. Dus dat verpeste wel de eetlust. Verder een mooie la place op een prachtige wandel locatie.

  • 3/5 Angelique P. 1 year ago on Google
    It is, to me, not what it used to be. But then, it is on the side of the road for when you are travelling, I suppose. Not much food on offer. I took a light salad, was ok but if you are a sandwhich eater for lunch then there was not too much on offer. And neither was the hot food. All in all, for a quick coffee or bite to eat, fine. The surroundings are nice though, it is a fave walking track for people, with, or without dogs.

  • 4/5 peter Soors d A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Pleasant service (Original) Prettige bediening

  • 4/5 Lynne T. 2 years ago on Google
    Very clean and nice. Very spacious so you're not packed right next to strangers. Soup isn't kept hot, but it is warm - just that it'll cool down if you don't drink it first. An area for kids to play is available right in the middle of the place - so if you're looking for complete peace and quiet maybe this isn't the place for that.

  • 1/5 Judith B. 6 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    If the staff's idea of hospitality is to 'teach' me to say good afternoon ('we always start with that'), I don't feel welcome at all. The restrooms were out of toiletseat cleaner and handsoap. Not a great experience.

  • 3/5 Ruben T. 9 months ago on Google
    Seems to be popular with the locals, I think the food is just ok. But it's nice and busy ("gezellig") most of the times I've been here.

  • 5/5 Felipe U. 4 years ago on Google
    Good variety of salads, noodles, sandwiches and bakeries. Offers gluten free and vegan foods. Fair price, good service.

  • 5/5 Sea b. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, just a couple of choises regarding the food. Which is excellent, because they're all nice meals. Some you can take to go, or even get a plastic wrapped delicious pizza to prepare for yourself at home. I had ordered french fries + Chicken thigh skewers! Very nice!

  • 4/5 Rafael P. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place to chill while having breakfast or lunch dutch style

  • 4/5 Robin J. 11 months ago on Google
    Great location for combining walk and nice tasteful food with limited choice. The interior and exterior with terrace could use an update which suits the area with more quality and style than it has now. And do show people directions for payment and coffee take out. New customers are always looking for which way to go.

  • 2/5 Yoav H. 1 year ago on Google
    We came with 2 little kids for lunch. Ordered 2 small salads, 2 small pastas, 1 pizza and 2 fruit cups. No drinks - 60 euros!! What a shock. So unreasonable for a self service place and no return for your money. Very disappointing

  • 4/5 Bruno Armindo Esteves M. 1 year ago on Google
    A restaurant you can always count on. Fresh food with good taste. A bit expensive but trustworthy.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice that they were open while we waited for our bus in the cold. Is pricey, but that's la place. Very nice hot chocolate (Original) Heel fijn dat ze open waren terwijl wij in de kou op onze bus wachtten. Is prijzig, maar dat is la place nou eenmaal. Hele lekkere warme chocolademelk

  • 4/5 Edmar R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Pick-up is only possible due to Corona. There is a good range of the usual Lapland range. (Original) Door Corona is alleen afhalen mogelijk. Er is een goed assortiment van het gebruikelijke Lapland assortiment.

    (Translated by Google) Delicious Thai soup to warm up and an Italian sandwich to strengthen. Despite the rain made a beautiful walk on the heath. (Original) Heerlijke Thaise soep om op te warmen en een Italiaans broodje om aan te sterken. Ondanks de regen een prachtige wandeling over de hei gemaakt.

  • 4/5 Silent D. 4 years ago on Google
    Good presentation of fresh food, comfortable interior. Little bit short on staff so, quite long waiting lines.

  • 3/5 Peggy Pinelo M. 4 years ago on Google
    I love the cakes, breakfast and the location. I don't like the logistics such as narrow navigation with a tray. There is no space to put the tray while you grab food. The lines are chaotic and you can't put your tray anywhere while waiting. The whole concept of displaying the food without covering it up I don't get. It only attracts flies.

  • 2/5 G M. 4 years ago on Google
    We went with two hours before they shut and they literally had no food. We got pizza as it was one of the few things left but we couldn't get all the toppings because they didn't have many left. The pizza was okay just very disappointing. Another major note is there were flies everywhere. Landing on the food such as cakes and other deserts meaning customers were getting food which was just very grim. I would strongly advise avoiding this place, there are much better places to go

  • 4/5 Tim C. 4 years ago on Google
    Basic La Place cafeteria, great stopping point before exploring the countryside. Pretty busy, and some people can't park for toffee

  • 2/5 FrankG77 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I am just not a fan of the concept. Sandwiches expensive, limited choice, self service etc .. But the pricing of a full service restaurant ... As far as I am concerned, this concept may disappear. (Original) Ik ben gewoon geen fan van het concept. Broodjes duur, beperkte keuze, self service etc.. Maar wel de prijsstelling van een full service restaurant... Wat mij betreft mag dit concept verdwijnen.

  • 4/5 anita a. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Glad it was open. Unfortunately, the corresponding parking spaces at the charging station are a bit small, and the extension of the terrace makes it difficult to keep tidy. But the sandwiches are the saving grace, delicious. (Original) Blij dat het.open was. Helaas zijn de bijbehorende parkeerplaatsen bij de laadpaal wat.klein, en door de uitbreiding van het terras is dat.lastig om netjes te houden. Maar de broodjes zijn de.goedmaker , heerlijk.

  • 2/5 B G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Always been a fan of La Place but in recent years the only thing that has been adjusted is the price (higher) and the range (more limited). The marinated chicken sandwiches used to be delicious (4, -) and now a flute of fatty ham (5, -). Serve your own salad in a mini bowl .. (4,75) I don't feel like Jumbo's acquisitions improved La Place. Many other sandwich shops offer a better sandwich / drink for less and you can just sit there. (Bartje, Backwerk, ..) (Original) Altijd een fan geweest van La Place maar laatste jaren is eigenlijk het enige dat is aangepast is de prijs (hoger) en het assortiment (beperkter). Vroeger heerlijk de broodjes gemarineerde kip (4,-) en nu een flûte vette ham (5,-). Zelf een salade opscheppen in een mini bakje.. (4,75) Ik heb niet het gevoel dat de overnamen door Jumbo La Place heeft verbeterd. Veel andere broodjes zaken bieden een beter broodje/drankje voor minder en daar kun je ook gewoon gaan zitten. (Bartje, Backwerk, ..)

  • 1/5 Wendy W. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place before the renovation. But now the food car is parked next to the road not clear where the line is... So when a car needs too pass you lose your spot in the line. Other costumers don't care about covid 19 or who was first? Do not go! Comeback when renovation is over will change it to 5 star raiting

    (Translated by Google) Thank you for being open for a delicious coffee to go after a long walk on the heath. Tip: lower the heating within a few degrees. (Original) Fijn dat jullie open zijn voor een heerlijk koffie to go na een lange wandeling over de hei. Tip: zet de verwarming binnen wat graadjes lager.

    (Translated by Google) After more than 20km on our hiking route, just bought a nice hot chocolate milk, it was a bad disappointment .. Not tasty. Too bad, so we continue our walking tour. (Original) Na ruim 20km op onze wandelroute even een lekkere warme chocomelk gehaald, viel vies tegen.. Niet lekker. Jammer, dus maar weer door met onze wandeltocht.
