If you find yourself in Harderwijk, Netherlands, a visit to the Grand Café Onder Odiezee is an experience not to be missed. Nestled in a unique location, this café offers more than just your typical coffee and bites—here, you dine with a captivating view of dolphins and walruses. Imagine sipping your expertly brewed espresso while these magnificent creatures frolic just beyond your window; it’s a juxtaposition of serenity and wonder that few cafes in the world can provide.

The café boasts a cozy atmosphere, perfect for families, couples, or anyone looking to unwind while enjoying the sights and sounds of the aquatic animals nearby. According to D. Luk, one of the happy visitors, “Coffee, food and their prices are just fine, but you can enjoy it with dolphins and walruses.” This highlights the café's commitment to providing not just a meal but an enchanting environment where guests can truly connect with nature.

Arnoud Tonkes echoed similar sentiments, expressing just how special the experience is: “What a lovely experience to eat while the dolphins swim around.” The curious dolphins, as he noted, seem to enjoy the interaction as much as the guests do, adding an element of playfulness to your dining experience.

Grand Café Onder Odiezee isn’t just about the view; the menu features a selection of comfort foods that cater to a variety of tastes. While some guests, like Marzena Czapska, found the food to be “just okay,” it’s clear from her praise that the overall ambiance and experience make this an appealing destination. Though the food may not steal the spotlight, the café excels in providing a warm and inviting atmosphere that encourages you to linger longer, perhaps with a warm cuppa or a delightful pastry in hand.

If you're a coffee lover, you'll be pleased to know that the espresso served here garners positive remarks, though suggestions like a complimentary glass of water alongside it would elevate the tasting experience even further, as noted by Patryk Kozinski. Such thoughtful touches could enhance an already unique visit, ensuring every sip and bite is savored.

In summary, Grand Café Onder Odiezee is more than just a café; it’s a gateway to a magical experience where culinary simplicity meets majestic marine life. Bring your family, grab a comfortable window seat, and allow yourself to be captivated by the playful dolphins while you enjoy your meal. With great coffee and a delightful ambiance that celebrates the wonders of the natural world, it promises to create memories that are sure to last a lifetime.

Coffee, food and their prices are just fine, but you can enjoy it with dolphins and walruses. Just find a 'window' seat and have fun.

Wat een leuke ervaring om te eten terwijl de dolfijnen rond zwemmen. Je kan ze hier echt goed zien en erg dichtbij. De dolfijnen vinden dit zelf ook leuk volgens mij want ze zijn erg nieuwsgierig.

The espresso was pretty good but would be nice if they would give a glass of water with the espresso to flush any taste left in your mouth so your can fully taste the espresso
