Overview

Located at Rietpolderweg 13, 2266 BM in Leidschendam, Netherlands, Waterfront Vlietland is a charming restaurant that offers a truly memorable dining experience. It’s a great spot for both locals and tourists who want to enjoy delicious meals while soaking in a breathtaking view of the water. As soon as you step in, the peaceful ambiance and relaxed atmosphere make you feel right at home.

One of the standout features of Waterfront Vlietland is its remarkable location. The restaurant sits right by the water, offering diners the chance to enjoy a meal with a beautiful, serene view. Whether you're looking for a spot to have a quiet dinner or you want to celebrate a special occasion, this location is ideal. The restaurant’s terrace is especially popular on warm days, where you can sit outside and watch the boats glide by while savoring your meal.

The menu at Waterfront Vlietland is a perfect blend of traditional Dutch dishes and international favorites, prepared with a fresh, modern twist. It’s not just about the food; it’s about the experience. Each dish is carefully crafted using high-quality ingredients that not only highlight the flavors but also make for a visually stunning presentation. From the delicious seafood dishes to the satisfying meat options, there is something for everyone. One dish that frequently stands out is their grilled fish platter, a customer favorite, known for its perfectly cooked fish and delightful seasonings.

As someone who’s dined at Waterfront Vlietland on several occasions, I can attest to the fact that the restaurant has consistently maintained high standards of food quality and service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, which adds to the overall experience. On my recent visit, I was pleasantly surprised by the chef’s special, a beautifully prepared rib-eye steak that was cooked just the way I requested. It was tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the accompanying sides.

In terms of ambiance, Waterfront Vlietland doesn't disappoint. The interior is stylish, yet warm and inviting. The wooden furniture and soft lighting create a cozy, relaxed vibe, perfect for unwinding after a busy day. Whether you're here for a casual lunch with friends or a romantic dinner date, the setting is always just right.

The restaurant’s attention to detail extends to its drinks menu, which features a variety of wines, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages. The wine list is carefully curated, offering a selection of both local and international wines that pair beautifully with the dishes on offer. For cocktail lovers, the bartenders are skilled at crafting refreshing drinks that complement the overall dining experience. I’ve tried several cocktails here, and each one has been expertly made, with balanced flavors and a refreshing twist.

When it comes to service, Waterfront Vlietland excels. The waitstaff is friendly and efficient, ensuring that your dining experience is seamless. On a busy evening, they still manage to maintain a personal touch, making sure each guest feels valued. I’ve never had to wait long for a table, and the food always arrives promptly, whether it’s a busy dinner rush or a quiet afternoon.

The restaurant also offers a great selection of desserts to end your meal on a sweet note. I highly recommend trying their signature cheesecake - it’s creamy, decadent, and simply delicious. Paired with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, it’s the perfect way to round off your meal.

Waterfront Vlietland is more than just a place to eat; it’s a place to experience. With its scenic location, top-notch service, and mouthwatering menu, it’s clear why this restaurant has earned a loyal following.

Wow, what a find. Was looking for somewhere to eat on our way to Rotterdam before getting the ferry on our way back home. Excellent food, wonderful service and all in a beautiful location.

The restaurant is situated along and extended into the Vlietland lake, with a magnificent view over the water and sailing boats. It’s a perfect spot to enjoy the beautiful sunset on the terrace. The portion of food is small but of high-quality.

We were looking for a quick and affordable dinner near the freeway and we found it here, with a marvellous view! Really nice waterfront seating (pun intended), good selection of drinks, and a somewhat limited but more than fine dinner menu. Just some fries and animal protein, well prepared and tasty, but could have used more veggies. I only got a tiny amount of coleslaw with my chicken skewers, and the coleslaw did not impress. Nevertheless, value for money was great and staff was friendly and in a good mood. The latter is quite hard to find at these huge and busy kind of restaurants near beaches or lakes, so kudos for this place.

Was here for a work function (party of 12). The service was good, the food was exceptional, and the atmosphere was lovely. Cocktails were a very reasonable price and were delicious.

Ambiente is excellent, as long as no hedonist juveniles or twens walk or boat around with their boom boxes and get on everybody's nerves. Superb cakes!!!!!
