A trip to Efteling is an unforgettable experience, but after a day filled with rides, shows, and attractions, you’re bound to get hungry. While Efteling offers a wide variety of delicious meals and snacks, dining at theme parks can sometimes be expensive. Luckily, there are plenty of budget-friendly food and snack options at Efteling that won’t break the bank, allowing you to enjoy the magic without overspending.

Efteling isn’t just a magical theme park filled with enchanting rides and attractions; it’s also a place where you can experience a delicious variety of traditional Dutch food and snacks. From sweet treats to hearty meals, Efteling offers a range of Dutch culinary delights that perfectly complement a day of adventure. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a sit-down meal, here’s a guide to all the typically Dutch food you can enjoy at Efteling.

Efteling theme park opens its gates an hour before the attractions start operating. If Efteling's website indicates that the park opens at 10 AM, guests can actually enter the park at 9 AM. This extra hour not only lets you soak in the serene morning vibes but also offers a perfect opportunity to grab a delightful breakfast at the park’s sole morning hub, Fabula Restaurant. Unlike Disney World, Efteling offers limited breakfast venues, with Fabula being the primary option. Efteling presents a quaint but equally enchanting start to your day, especially if you’re a foodie at heart!

Efteling sells regular pilsner at the parc but it also sells their own specialty beers at the resorts. Efteling has 4 specialty Efteling Beers available at the resorts. Bosrijkse Brouw for Bosrijk, 'Verdiende Loon for Loonse Land and a blond and brown Hotel de Bottle beers at the hotel.

When you are looking for an easy lunch or dinner there are so many places to choose from and there are also a lot of vegan options. Here is a pick of our favorites with things we love to eat when we are in the park. All eating places should have an allergy card available upon request, ensuring you're aware of the items that cater to your dietary needs.
