The only bar/restaurant in Oudendijk itself. The place has just changed owners and reopened in September 2019. It has a nice outside terrace overlooking the water. Although the menu is small, the food is good. Also good for having a drink with a snack of a coffee with homemade pie!

The 20th Century. A period in which our parents sat surrounded by orange and brown wallpaper around a fondue set, listening to ‘Dancing Queen’ by ABBA. In contrast, our grandparents decorated their living rooms with lace doilies and rubber plants. The Museum of the 20th Century (Het Museum van de 20e Eeuw) in Hoorn shows how daily life looked in the last century through hundreds of items. https://www.museumhoorn.nl/pg-5548-7-7390/pagina/english.html#!section
