In de Klaver, a roadside restaurant in Niebert, Netherlands, offers a nostalgic experience with its classic truck stop atmosphere, hearty schnitzels, and welcoming service. Despite a minor inconvenience with the electric car charging point, the restaurant remains a popular destination for travelers seeking a comforting and familiar meal.
Located on Molenweg 2, In de Klaver is open daily and features a charging point in its large parking lot. However, a picnic bench obstructing the charging station, due to a sinkhole in the pavement, raised initial concerns about its usability. Despite the initial confusion, the staff confirmed that the charger was available for use.
The restaurant has been run by the Van de Velde family since 1974, continuing a tradition of hospitality at the location that dates back to 1820. Known for its generous portions, particularly the schnitzels, In de Klaver caters to truck drivers and locals alike. The menu also features vegetarian options.
The interior of In de Klaver is decorated with dark oak furniture, truck-themed memorabilia, and classic touches like Maggi bottles on the tables. The atmosphere is completed by the sounds of ZZ Top and John de Bever playing in the background. The menu offers a variety of schnitzels, including plain, mushroom, stroganoff, hunter’s sauce, and Hawaiian, all served with a choice of side dishes.
