Delicious food with two great vegetarian options. The children&#39;s menu was extensive and provided more than the standard options. The main courses offered plenty of food and I was disappointed not to have room for dessert as they all sounded delicious too! Definitely recommend this restaurant.

The fork is the number one restaurant in the fishing village. We made reservations early. When we arrived, there was no one in the restaurant. The waiter was very nice and let us choose seats. If it wasn&#39;t so cold, I would have chosen the one with a view of the sea outside. The environment inside is also very nice. I didn&#39;t know from the menu outside that this is a century-old restaurant. Every review online mentioned that the smoked eel was delicious. The fish was absolutely fresh. There was crispy bread underneath. We also ordered scallops with lobster sauce rice. This dish tasted a bit like seafood rice. The lobster sauce was very good. The texture of the rice was exactly the same as what I had in Spain. The fish and chips were average. The price of the drinks was normal. They didn&#39;t increase the price because it was a popular restaurant. I guess it would be more beautiful in the summer.

The staff are nice, was very clean! But the food was bellow our expectation (crispy was not crispy, and chicken was not done good and the beef in curry sauce was not fraged (good taste but gummy)!  Personal i eat mussels and i was satisfied!

Grand Caf&eacute; Restaurant De Dijk, nestled in the charming seaside town of Volendam, offers a dining experience that uniquely captures the essence of its coastal setting. The atmosphere at De Dijk is its standout feature, where the breezy, salty air mixes with a quaint, inviting decor, allowing diners to immerse themselves in the serene vibes of the sea just steps away.While the menu presents a satisfactory selection of dishes that are well-prepared, it somewhat misses the opportunity to fully embrace its maritime locale with a wider variety of seafood options. A few additional dishes celebrating local catches would certainly enhance the culinary experience, aligning it more closely with the restaurant&rsquo;s prime setting by the water.Service at De Dijk, however, is commendable. Staff members are consistently upbeat and attentive, contributing positively to the overall dining atmosphere. Their friendly demeanor and prompt service ensure a pleasant visit for guests looking to enjoy a meal in this picturesque location.Overall, Grand Caf&eacute; Restaurant De Dijk offers a memorable dining experience mainly through its unique setting by the sea and the warm service provided. A slight rethinking of the menu to include more seafood specialties could potentially elevate the establishment to new heights, perfectly complementing the wonderful atmosphere and service.
