ריכוז מסעדות אפטלינג
Efteling has been upgrading its eating establishments over the past few years, not only improving the layout and theming (some are mindbogglingly beautiful) but also adding more variety of food. Unfortunately, exquisite Micheline-star food is not Efteling's strong point so if you're a connoisseur then you'd better move along. As a result the food is generally considered reasonable (for a theme park) but relatively simple. And don't worry, everywhere you go special children's menus are standard.
The restaurants itself are popular and often crowded even on quieter days, so reservation is advised (when possible). You can reserve in advance by calling the Efteling information, ☎ +31 41 65 37 777. 9.00 - 21.00. edit It's also possible to make a reservation at the Guest Services Desk near the entrance.
During quieter days some restaurants might stay closed or have shorter opening times. This is most often the case with both
self-service and take-away.
If you can try the typical snack food such as Dutch fries at the Smulpaap and the Dutch "snack wall" vending machines that give you a warm snack when money is inserted. And although smoking is allowed in open air, tobacco is not sold inside the park.
The Netherlands are expensive when it come to food compared to neighbouring countries. Prices in the Efteling are comparable to other parks in the region. However, in contrast to many other theme parks bringing your own food is perfectly allowed.
