The place

Kinderdijk's own café is in the visitor centre, beside the entrance, with a terrace over the water from which you can see the first row of windmills and the polder. The menu is short and a midday one: freshly made sandwiches, drinks and snacks, with local products. It has high chairs for children.

Beside the river Lek there is also a kiosk with artisan ice cream, sandwiches, hot dogs and oven-baked biscuits, and at the Blokweer windmill, a stand for drinks and ice creams.

Practical details

It opens with the site: in November and December, from 10:30 to 16:00. Dogs may not enter the café, though they may go in the rest of Kinderdijk. For a longer meal, go back to Rotterdam: the WaterShuttle drops you at the foot of the Erasmus Bridge.

What to order: a sandwich on the terrace over the water, looking at the first row of windmills.
