Grand Café Fanfare

It has been established for more than 100 years. There is a sign at a small bridge. You can walk along the bridge to a cafe that extends to the center of the lake. Sitting in the cafe, you can enjoy the entire reed marsh and tourists rowing in it. I think it's great to stay there for an afternoon! The waiter who greeted us was the grandson of the founder and joked: you are millionaire.

If you eat late in Giethoorn, you will be hungry. When we arrived in Giethoorn, we followed the public recommendation to find a restaurant to eat grilled pork chops, but we arrived too late and when we walked over, all the restaurants were closed. The whole village was closed. This legendary restaurant closes at 9pm at the latest, so we only ordered cake. We originally wanted to order chocolate cake, after all, girls have a small appetite and will feel fuller, but when they recommended it, they said that they only had something similar to chocolate cake. Unfortunately, we felt a little uncomfortable after eating it! I felt dizzy, nauseous and even wanted to vomit, and then I suddenly remembered that we had arrived in the Netherlands, a country where big ma is legal, so we called the waitress to ask if there was any special addition. The waitress politely said that she didn't know. But the performance was really good, the band of this village was awesome, I think it was a senior choir. It was a real bummer when we went to Yangjiao Village, because we made a mistake in checking the route, and after we got out of the train station, there was no bus in the heavy rain, so we called a taxi and held our hearts. Besides, please make reservations for hotels in Giethoorn at least two months in advance! We booked the hotel late, and although the room was pitifully small, it was still 2000+ RMB per night, okay? They also said that we could have not missed dinner, but we met a few children in the middle, and they were taller than us! He gave us the wrong directions so we went around in circles and had to go back to where he asked for directions and walk in the opposite direction of where he pointed us before we found the restaurant! Please pay attention to your navigation and don’t believe what naughty children say! Children in all countries are the same! Let me talk about the bad service again. I was mainly angry that even though the waiter came to our table ten minutes earlier to take our order, the kitchen was not cleaned up. He just left us there and let us look at the menu by ourselves for twenty minutes without coming to help us order. It was really enough. I didn't even have lunch that day and rushed to eat pork chops after lunch. I was so sad. Grand Café Fanfare# Local specialties
