Whether enjoying the sunset from the terrace or coffee in the morning by the sea, BijBlauw is an idyllic and peaceful retreat in the heart of the city.

Breakfast

BijBlauw, a hotel without inclusive breakfast, but fear not as their restaurant overlooking the sea is worth a visit. Some guests found the breakfast expensive, while others found it to be delicious. However, a few mentioned it was not worth the price due to small portions, limited choices on the menu and inconsistency with the quality of the food. Despite this, guests enjoyed the option to order à la carte breakfast on the beautiful terrace. The restaurant is also a great spot for dinner. Some minor complaints included smoking allowed in the restaurant and a lack of clarity from the staff on whether orange juice was included in breakfast. The breakfast started quite late at 10 am, which some guests found inconvenient for guests wanting to start their day early. Despite a few unpleasant experiences, many guests raved about the fantastic and delicious breakfast offered at BijBlauw.

Overall, BijBlauw's restaurant is a must-try for a tasty and enjoyable night out.
