Wir sind Deutsche und sprechen auch deutsch. Wir kommen seit vielen Jahren hierhin. Es gibt auch viele deutsche Stammgäste. Von Diskriminierung kann überhaupt keine Rede sein. Sehr nette Besitzer, mit denen man sich auch immer unterhalten kann. Getränke sind nicht überteuert. Die Lage direkt am Hafen ist sehr schön. Immer einen Besuch wert.

Wer immer hier diesen Diskriminierungsblödsinn von sich gibt, sollte mal sein Verhalten hinterfragen. Wie komme ich dazu in die Niederlande zu fahren und mir einer absoluten Selbstverständlichkeit Deutsch zu sprechen? Ich bin seit Jahren Gast im Boukanier, sag die Tageszeit in der Landessprache, bestell mein Getränk in der Landessprache, dann wird oft mit mir deutsch gesprochen, was ich gar nicht möchte, aber egal, man ist immer nett und freundlich.

Nette Bar mit interessanter Atmosphäre. Das Personal ist nett- und hilfsbereit. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist gut.

Gezellig klein bruin café, super gastvrije eigenaar, terras met uitzicht op de haven en 8 bieren van de tap. Er werd nog even "spieker gesloan" door de plaatselijke jeugd. Boven is er ook nog een gezellige caféruimte met uitzicht op de haven.
