Rapa Nui

Crime: BBQ chicken sate, salad, corona and Toblerone chocolate mousse

Scene: Rapa Nui Strandtent, Boulevard Barnaart 27, Zandvoort

Investigation: I’m not a fan of beach clubs. Love beaches, but can’t stand sand in my seat and food hahah Anyhow, Rapa Nui is the closest place I can go to by car where I can enjoy beautiful sunsets. The food is ok, the service could be tighter, the music is not really my style (if you don’t sit near the speakers you won’t hear the tunes haha), but the terrace is somehow ideal for beers and wine with the right crowd.

Place to enjoy the sun: Yes! Lovely view of the North Sea and the beach? Yes! The best food? Nah. It’s ‘aight’. Their kitchen serves typical “brown cafe food” like the Dutch version of the chicken sate with peanut sauce, steak frit, salad, freestyle pasta and the famous Dutch ‘borrel happen’. I’ll return soon to upgrade my tan if the weather lets me. Next stop: Timboektoe at Wijk aan Zee with their nice menu :)
