Restaurant De Zwarte Haan

Found this place by happy accident while touring around Friesland. The location right by the sea is beautiful and the patio and garden are a perfect place to have a meal. They have some tables on the grass, which is perfect if you bring your dogs. Food and drinks were really good also, especially the iced coffee. Would love to visit again the next time I'm in the area.

Nice place, nice staff, unfortunately the food was bland, poorly seasoned, children's food (fish and chips) on the verge of burning, my son refused to eat it. The salads were good and well seasoned, the main dish (for all 4 adults) was even more disappointing.The duck breast was rare, although the medium was ordered, tasteless cranberry sauce. The fish should have been 500g, it wasn't even raw 😉 it was well seasoned, unfortunately it came to the table cold. The steak with mushrooms and bacon was also poorly done, without a pinch of sauce, it smelled burnt (which was probably the fault of the missing sauce 😉, it was probably the one that got burnt in the pan.) the bacon was not even baked, rather reheated (I had the steak twice on table and it was pretty terrible in both cases) Despite the fact that we had a reservation, we waited more than an hour for our food. Or a restaurant in such a place, with such a rating, we expected significantly more.We have traveled almost all over the world, including for culinary experiences, but this is one of the bad ones. So unfortunately I can only recommend salad and coffee.

Took a while for the food give the there was only 3 other tables. But the coffee was nice. The burger wasn't the best tasted like those wheat filled cheap burgers not real meat. Chips were ok but nothing to celebrate. But the bacon pancake was fantastic really well done. Bacon done to perfection. Bonus points for a gluten free options for desert which was very nice.
