Gasterij Kruisberg B.V. — Restaurant in Heemskerk

Very cute pancake house, absolute kids paradise. Imagine the perfect outdoorsy pancake house, it has a bunch of playgrounds, a sandpit, donkeys, chicken, rabbits, cold beer, hot coffee and large pancakes and that is Kruisberg.

It’s also fun and cosy for couples, with plenty of nooks and a fire outside. When you offer to parents it is always a win if you keep the menu simple and short.

The place is so spacious that kids aren’t fighting over toys or slides and have plenty to explore. The one point of improvement is the quality of the food and drink, as that comes at the expense of catering for the large number of people seated at any given time—this also means it takes a long time to get your order.

But if you’re okay with Douwe Egberts coffee from a Douwe E machine and a pancake that is only slightly bigger than the home made version, you’ll have a great time here. And besides a so-so pancake you get to eat in peace while you’re kids hangout with some massive rabbits is still better than a perfect pancake, either shared or not eaten due to some...

A fun place in the middle of the dunes where kids can play and there is the option to eat and drink something. A 15 minute walk through the woods and dunes from the nearest parking.

The coffee came from a machine, but was okay. The orange juice was freshly squeezed. The pancake was good and the sandwich with salmon was not bad at all with a good amount of salmon on it. The chickens roam freely, and I didn't mind sharing my lettuce. The service ends with ordering inside and if you want anything else you need to hack inside. 2 adults with pancake, salmon sandwich, 2 cappuccino and oranje juiste came to €38 euros. Not bad,...

The place is hard to reach by google, using google maps brings you in the middle of nowhere. The parking lot is approximately 15 to 20 minutes walk from the place. You'll need to walk on a path with a lot of people on bicycles, who are very impatient. There is no sign from the parking lot to the place, you need to figure it out yourself which way to go. The people are not so friendly if you call the for instructions to find the way to that place.

They even hung up the phone and refuse to pick up the phone afterwards.

Food is expensive, quality is poor. The meat of the burger was dry. Fortunately you get ketchup and mayonnaise, fries is an extra € 3,95. Pancake was partly burned. Wouldn't go...
