Tips for affordable food and drinks

5 minutes reading time

In Zandvoort you can eat well (and affordably) during a weekend by the sea. From beach bars to restaurants in the city centre. Perfect for a relaxed and flavourful stay.

Find your accommodation for a weekend in Zandvoort

Zandvoort is a seaside resort in the Netherlands that is perfect for a last-minute weekend getaway from Germany. A weekend in Zandvoort is not complete without good food. Here you combine atmosphere, sea views and flavour. And in spring it’s quieter and often cheaper: enjoy lunch in the sun and dinner with a view of the sea.

My tips for eating & drinking

Bakker Bertram – breakfast & lunch

Croissants op het terras bij Bakker Bertram

Bakker Bertram is a well-known name in Zandvoort. This bakery on the Raadhuisplein serves the most delicious sandwiches and coffee. To eat in or take away. Ideal for breakfast on the beach.

Bakker Bertram – Raadhuisplein 14

Beach Club 10 – Breakfast, lunch & dinner

Beach club tien

One of the most centrally located beach pavilions in Zandvoort and a favourite with Zandvoort locals. Good food at an affordable price and a breathtaking view of the sea. You can’t start or end your day much better.

Beach Club Tien – Boulevard de Favauge 10

Sweet Pearl – Breakfast, snack & lunch

Stroopwafels bij Sweet Pearl Zandvoort

A newcomer to the Zandvoort street scene. Sweet Pearl specialises in traditional Dutch delicacies such as poffertjes and warm stroopwafels. But it also serves barista coffee, matcha and chai. Delicious as a snack, but also for breakfast or lunch

Sweet Pearl – Kerkstraat 6

De Kaashoek – Lunch

Kaashoek Zandvoort

Another well-known name in Zandvoort: De Kaashoek. This special sandwich shop on Haltestraat has been famous for years for its ‘half sticks’ with the most delicious toppings. Also if you are looking for a culinary souvenir!

De Kaashoek – Haltestraat 38

Fritures d’Anvers – Snack bar

Danvers

Perhaps the best fries in the Netherlands. Fritures d’Anvers near the Kerkplein sells at least the best fries in Zandvoort. Traditionally prepared, of course.

Tip: be sure to try the spicy sambal sauce.

Fritures d’Anvers – Kosterstraat 15

Get fish from the fish trolley – snack bar

Viskar op de boulevard

Zandvoort and fish carts are inextricably linked. You will find several stalls scattered along the promenade where you can get the best fresh fish in the country. Just watch out for the seagulls. 🙂

Fish cart – Boulevard

De Zeerover – Lunch & Dinner

De Zeerover

Whether you opt for a pancake with ham, brie, chicken thigh fillet or simply with syrup, the pancakes at De Zeerover are not to be sneezed at. But even if you prefer something other than pancakes, you’ve come to the right place. Affordable indulgence with a sea view.

De Zeerover – Strandweg 1

Schnitzel at the Tiroler Stuberl – dinner

Restaurant Schnitzel & Spies bij Tiroler Stuberl

Schtizel & Spies from Tiroler Stuberl is very popular with German tourists. And rightly so, because here you get high-quality food in good portions at a good price. What more could you want?

Tiroler Stuberl – Haltestraat 56c

Ristorante Andrea – Dinner

Ristorante Andrea

A good pizzeria should not be missing from my tips. And Ristorante Andrea in Church Square is such a good and affordable pizzeria. Let them serve you or take them with you. You can do both.

Ristorante Andrea – Kerkplein 9

Flavour – Dinner

De open keuken van Restaurant Smaak in de Haltestraat in Zandvoort

Another newcomer in Zandvoort: Taste. A restaurant in the heart of Zandvoort where you can enjoy a changing chef’s menu with 4, 5 or 6 courses. You can choose the right wines to go with your meal.

Smaak – Haltestraat 30a

Simply cook for yourself
