Gastrobar Wendy

In the centre of beautiful Rijen you will find this informal, friendly coffee house and lunchroom. With the Boswachterij Dorst woods, the Chaam woods and the woods of Surae just around the proverbial corner, Gastrobar Wendy is very popular among those exploring the beautiful green surrounding area. It is ideal for taking a break during a bicycle ride for some rest, good coffee (of high quality and can be traced to the farmer) or a glorious lunch. Visitors, remarkably diverse, enjoy the more than charming ambiance; it is a place where people get together and enjoy a lunch that is always freshly prepared.

•    Ideal stopover while exploring the green setting;
•    Closely connected with a chocolate confectionery shop: even more enjoyment!
•    Close to Gilze-Rijen Air Base.

In addition to the proximity of many hiking and cycle routes and the top attraction The Efteling theme park, guests are very enthusiastic about the nearby airport. Gilze-Rijen Air Base is only one kilometre away. You can make an appointment to visit the Traditiekamer or the Tradition Room, which is where the aviation historical cultural heritage of the region is collected, managed and presented.

A tip for conscious eaters: Gastrobar Wendy has many options for vegetarians and vegans, as attested to by this entry in the guestbook: “A good place with a good atmosphere! Amazing people and charming ambiance. And plenty of choice for vegans too! A delicious vegan tropical avocado burger with mango sauce, fries with vegan mayo, non-dairy milk for making all kinds of coffees and chai latte. And the cherry on top was all kinds of delicious vegan cakes! I’m a fan!?” 

Gastrobar Wendy is also closely connected with the chocolate confectionery shop Everything Sweet. All the delicious food served by the lunchroom is also available for takeaway. Or you can surprise your loved one with a delicious sweet present!

Due in part to the “very nice service” and good price-quality ratio, Gastrobar Wendy as a coffee house was crowned by Restaurant Guru as ‘Best in the City’.
