OASE Schellinkhout

Oasis in Westfriesland

Within the Westfriese Omringdijk you will find an oasis of eating and drinking places where you can feast on tasty dishes and drinks from home and abroad. What are you hungry for?

Imagine yourself in the subtropics at beach pavilion De Zoete Zee near Medemblik, beach pavilion Enkhuizen on the IJsselmeer and beach pavilion Oranje Buiten on Markermeer. Laze away with a drink and your feet in the sand or eat a bite on the terrace. Is the weather not cooperating? You can also enjoy the boats on the turbulent water inside. Restaurant Oase is a hidden gem behind the dike in Schellinkhout, located on the Hoornse Hop. A hotspot with design, cocktails and food that will make you lick your fingers!

Pret Kidscafé

Delicious with the kids

  • At IJgenweis eten & drinken in the Streekbos, you’ll have a quiet drink with a view of the kids having fun on the beach, in the lake and the playground. Played out? The menu is there for the whole family.
  • Name a favorite dish with a P. Right! The pancake houses in Avenhorn, Hem and Scharwoude are looking forward to it.
  • An eatery with an indoor sandbox? Yes indeed! At Turf in Hoorn you enjoy lunch while the kids play in the sand, play games or color.
  • Crafts, baking cookies, reading aloud, music and good food? It’s all possible at Pret Kidscafé in Hoorn. What fun!

Behind toy store De Vliegenzwam you will find the tea garden and garden cafe. That’s two birds with one stone!

Taste the Region

A slice of butter-smeared currant muffin, a creamy sheep's milk ice cream or a real West Frisian pager. The region is on the menu of restaurants and eateries, but you can also taste it at fruit farms and farm stores. What makes your mouth water?
