Vriendelijk café, bruincafé, biljart café, frituurzaak en pleisterplaats voor toeristen. Maar ook geschikt voor bruiloften en partijen. De bediening was super vriendelijk en toegankelijk. Vroeger had men in Borculo een radiomuseum, dat is weg, maar hier staan nog ruim 100 oude radio's. Leuk om te zien. Er zijn wandel en fietstochten waar je hier eindigt. Voor weinig geld zijn deze inclusief koffie of lunch.

De boerenfriet die we laatst hebben besteld was een lekkere boerenfriet beter dan de boerenfriet van cafetaria hier in Dtc. In zulke dorpjes weten ze tenminste wat patat bakken is. En het is een uitnodigende plek om heen te gaan als je er aan komt/langs komt.

Dit hert overigens de Hoeksteen. Het is een restaurant met cafetaria en ijssalon. Ik had hier een kerstlunch, heel goed verzorgd, keuze uit tomaten of mosterdsoep, diverse broodjes, waaronder zalm, brie, filet american, gezond en als toetje, cheesecake of een soesje. Echt de moeite waard, echt lekker, sfeervol aangekleed en fijn personeel
