Restaurant Dune Zandvoort Dune aan de duinrand

Dune aan de Duinrand

Take a breathtaking walk through the Amsterdam water supply dunes. Get off the paths, watch the deer up close, wander through the dunes and find the bunkers hidden there. The water supply dunes on the southern edge of Zandvoort are beautiful and varied. It is an area where you can easily walk for several hours. And afterwards you can relax in the Dune aan de Duinrand, at the entrance to the area on the Zandvoortselaan. In addition to the pancake speciality, the restaurant has an extensive menu. So you’re spoilt for choice!

Ristorante Andrea

Ristorante Andrea

All parents will agree. If you ask them what their child would like to eat, one of the three P’s of the children’s diet quickly comes up: pancakes, pizza or chips. Not always healthy, but almost always a success. And for the best pizzas in Zandvoort, go to Ristorante Andrea. In this Italian restaurant on the cosy Kerkplein in the centre of Zandvoort, the dishes are prepared the way “di mama” would do it. With fresh food and lots of love. And you can taste it. Because not only the pizzas are ‘delizioso’; the ‘zuppe’, ‘insalata’ and (anti-)pasta are also delicious!

Restaurant Zeerover Zandvoort De Zeerover

De Zeerover

Like Dune aan de Duinrand, De Zeerover also specialises in pancakes. The difference lies in the location. Where you visit Dune after a walk in the dunes, you go to De Zeerover after a day at the beach. The restaurant is located on the Badhuisplein on the promenade, so you can eat your pancakes with a view of the sea. And not just any pancakes, because they come in all shapes and sizes: from a simple one to a Captain Hook, with bacon and brie, among other things, or a Koos Kombuis, filled with savoury chicken and a fresh salad.

The San Remo ice cream parlour in the Kerkstraat is a real classic with a large selection of artisan scoop ice cream. It tastes good enough to eat.

When you say ice cream, you also say Luciano. This popular ice cream parlour in Schoolstraat is known for its fresh, artisanal ice creams and has a surprising selection every day.
