Café Ome Ko — Restaurant in Gooise Meren

What a great little man intimate pub with delicious food and a wounderful selection of local beers. This pub sits in a town that was built in or around 953.

The first known reference to Muiden is from 953 when Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor, granted the settlement and its toll rights to Cathedral of Saint Martin, Utrecht. It was called Amuda, meaning "mouth of the (river) A". "A" was the old name for the Vecht river.

In 1122 Muiden was, together with Utrecht, granted some city rights by Emperor Henry V. After the lands around Muiden were given to Count Floris V, he began building Muider Castle at the mouth of the Vecht river. Muiden once again received city rights in 1296.

This pub is about a 5 minute walk to Amsterdam Castle Muiderslot and totally worth a visit either before, for a delicious snack, or after for a more substantial meal. The staff is friendly and everything was great....

We came to the area to visit the winter market at Muidenport but the food stalls had long lines, so ended up walking into town and found this restaurant to grab a bite at.

Two of us decided on a dish called “Winterkabeljouw” which was amazingly delicious! It was cod (beautifully cooked) with a piece of pot lard on a bed of mashed potatoes and leek. The asparagus was crisp and tasted like spring, and a great taste element was also provided by the sun-dried tomatoes. Just was among the best plates I’ve had while living in Amsterdam!

My brother got the Chicken club sandwich and raved about the bacon that was included in this dish.

We also got desserts - Creme Brûlée, Apple Pie and Apple Strudle, which was a great way to close off the meal! The cookie ice-cream with Creme Brûlée was super good!

Totally recommend and hope can come back on a Tuesday dinner for the fish and...

As soon as we asked for a table in English, it was clear we were not really wanted (due to being English/tourists/not local). Got a table, asked for a high chair and got a weird rude response but eventually got one. Got drinks, asked for menus but they never arrived. We got up and collected our own menus, but our orders were never taken despite serving and taking orders from several tables around us and the waiter acknowledging us when we tried to get his attention. We had a 2 year old with us and were hoping to get food. After circa 45 minutes and finishing our drinks we paid for the drinks unhappy and left. Arguably the worst pub experience I have had anywhere in the world, and I have travelled to quite a lot of countries. If you are not local and do not know the pub personally, DO...
