Efteling Restaurants

[Floralnomad]

Looking to go next year and wondered if anyone could give me some advice about the food options , particularly if you have experience of gluten free dining . I’ve looked on FB to see if there is a GF group but can’t find one .

Definitely recommend the pancake house for the experience as they have animated pots and pans that create music every once in a while, as well as "magical water" dispensers for a small additional fee. They will do any of the pancake toppings on a gluten free base. We had both savoury and sweet (not gf) and both were good. The only criticism is that the service is a bit slow, and it wasn’t super busy on either occasion that we went.
We also liked Het Witte Paard as it had spacious seating areas, plenty of choice for hot meals, and self-service, so there wasn’t much queuing or waiting time for dishes to come (we had to queue for about ten minutes at Polles Keuken and wait for about twenty minutes until our meals arrived).

Don’t bother with Pinokkio’s - we were very disappointed. Other than that Efteling has the BEST food, although I’m not sure about GF options sorry, apart from remembering that Polles Keuken had options. There are a few new options that look good near Max and Moritz, and a new shop where Danse Macabre is being built. We ran out of time and didn’t get to try the Middle Eastern restaurant by Vogel Rok which I was disappointed about as it looks lovely - lots of fresh food and salads.
If anyone isn’t GF olibollen near the lake and the snack vending machines in Anton Pieke square are must haves every time we go.
There is an Efteling for Brits FB page which is great for questions like this as well.
Enjoy, once you’ve visited once you’ll be hooked

Thank you , I have joined that FB group which has been helpful .
