Beach Pavillion Storm aan zee — Restaurant in Den Helder

A total disappointment… but with a great view

My partner and I went to this place really excited to try it, but unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing from the start. We had to wait 1 hour and 45 minutes for the food to arrive. In fact, we were about to leave the parking lot when my partner asked why it was taking so long—and just then, the food finally came out.

We ordered loaded fries, crispy chicken, sweet and spicy ribs, and pesto bread. Sadly, none of it was fresh. Everything tasted old, like it had been reheated several times. The only thing that was somewhat decent was the crispy chicken.

Then we ordered avocado sushi, gyozas, enchiladas, and a burger. The sushi was nothing special—just rice with a tiny bit of avocado inside. The gyozas didn’t taste good, the burger was raw in the middle, and the enchiladas were greasy.

The plating didn’t help either. It looked like the chef had given up—cheap supermarket chips and a few random veggies thrown on the plate to add some “green.”

The only redeeming quality was the amazing view, which truly is beautiful. But honestly, it’s not worth the long wait or the poor...

A review to any fellow vegan, the food technically is really good but make sure your order is understood!

We ordered vegan Kroketten (I was very happy they had that option!!) an were very surprised how original they tasted. Later my uncle got them as well, and they were completely different, tasted like mushrooms and vegetables (but good!). Anyways as we told the waitress about the obviously non-vegan Kroketten we were told off and that they‘ve just changed the oil or something (you’d call that gaslighting I guess ._.). On top of that I’ve ordered the veggie bowl in vegan, the only change was no mayo. This was checked twice with the kitchen if that’s possible and long story short, I got the bowl with mayo… the chef waitress only told me i‘d get a free drink the next time… I was really happy about a strand café with lots of vegan and vegetarian options but really disappointed in the end about the response to a mistake that can definitely happen. They could’ve...

The restaurant was ok, in my opinion it was trying to look expensive / fancy while it wasn't. The food was nice, and the hot chocolate was brought to our table quite fast and tasted good. I think the service could of been a bit faster but they were nice enough. I really think they should of stuck to the basics with the presentation of things to be honest, instead of a simple white plate the food was brought on either a wooden plank or a plastic plate with some or other design that was supposed to make it look like wood, which made the plates seem very cheap. Overall I would recommend this place to eat at, but they should really get rid of all the...
