Bickel Beer in Houten Buitengebied

It is a fine restaurant, nicely decorated. Friendly staff with a smile who come by in between courses to ask if the food tastes good and if everything is to our liking.

We had a fantastic, delicious meal and will definitely be back soon...

We had a 3-course menu and it was very tasty! It was our first time at De Beren, but certainly not the last!

We had a delicious meal. However, the sauces aren't really tasty; it would be better to have just mushroom cream sauce instead of the truffle one, and regular peppercorn cream sauce instead of having those spices in it as well. Two specific flavors that many people don't like. In our case, all three people really didn't like it.

Had a delicious meal for a good price!

We got a table on the upper floor, where you have a nice view of everything going on in the restaurant. It is impressive how the staff manages to make everyone feel at ease. Friendly, attentive, quick to respond, and ....... excellent food and drinks. All in all, definitely worth a return visit!! Sincere compliments.

Too busy/too many kids during autumn holidays and Kruidvat voucher

We received a friendly welcome, had a lovely time, and of course, enjoyed delicious food and drinks. Thanks to the kitchen and serving staff. See you soon 👍

Very cozy restaurant with very friendly service. All dishes were delicious: starter, satay, dessert. And of course, the Kruidvat offer is great. We come regularly and that will continue.

Tasty food, fast service, and very friendly. It was just very warm inside; the heating was on full blast.

We had a delicious meal with 6 people and a tasty dessert; good service and friendly staff.

You wouldn't expect such a wonderfully nice and romantically decorated restaurant in an industrial estate.

go almost every month with the family for the unlimited spare ribs great restaurant, good service and nice and quick, nothing to complain about

We had a delicious meal and the service was pleasant and attentive.

In 1 word: Super. We had a Kruidvat voucher for a 3-course dinner. Just worth a try. We had never been to a Beren restaurant before. With such a voucher, you eat a pre-selected menu. How nice is it then that you could still choose from 5 things for each course? Any extras and drinks are paid for separately. Everything is clearly stated. There can be no misunderstanding about that. Upon request, we were given a different table. This was handled kindly. Top-notch. The service was prompt, very friendly, and helpful. The starter, Gioza's, was simply delicious. The main course too. Satay and spicy chicken. Tasty, tender, spicy where it needed to be spicy. Well-fried fries. Wine a Pinot Grigio. Cool, not too cold. Delicious. Dessert was an elaborate coffee, and an espresso martini (nice and cold). You have to judge a restaurant within its own category. I never give 5 stars for food. Then it has to be a masterpiece. But this restaurant deserves 4 stars. Houten is an accessible restaurant. With simply nice meals and a very nice atmosphere; children play on an inflatable castle in front of the restaurant on the covered square. Parents can eat and drink next to the playground. Those who want peace and quiet can sit inside. Then you won't even hear the children. The restaurant exudes atmosphere and informality. In short, we just had a nice dinner, among a whole lot of people who felt the same way. It was busy. There is no better advertisement. When it is full, it is good.

To be honest, I didn't find the older gentleman very hospitable yesterday. I got the impression he had a dent in his shoulders. But the food was good and the atmosphere was otherwise good.

Oh well, the food is fine, but everything in this restaurant has truly been stripped down. You have to pay extra for everything and the portions are minimal (except for dessert). You used to leave here feeling satisfied... now you’ve just eaten. Otherwise, the service is attentive and friendly, and it remains a child-friendly restaurant.

We had a coupon from Kruidvat, we went to De Beren in Houten, the food was really good and the service friendly 😄 This restaurant is highly recommended.

We had a delicious meal, and the staff were very friendly and helpful! Unfortunately, our car was broken into afterwards.... But there is nothing they can do about that at De Beren. We hope to come back more often, God willing!

The turnover was top-notch again. Schnitzel steak & crispy chicken pieces; everything was perfectly seasoned and the temperature was excellent. However, I do have trouble with such a large schnitzel. Couldn't you offer a choice between a large or a slightly smaller schnitzel so that those with smaller appetites don't have to leave their schnitzel untouched? That is a shame.

We dined here yesterday with a large group of 24 people and look back on a wonderful experience! I had a lot of contact with the owner beforehand. Communication was incredibly smooth, pleasant, and friendly. On-site, all agreements made were also properly honored. Despite the size of our group, orders were taken promptly and dishes were served quickly. Moreover, there was hardly any difference in the time everyone received their food. That requires good organization and cooperation. Hats off! 👏 An extra compliment for Nadia, our waitress. What a star! She remained friendly under all circumstances, was incredibly hospitable, and didn't let herself get flustered. You don't often come across such a combination of professionalism and friendliness anymore. A real asset to the establishment! In short: highly recommended! A well-organized establishment with friendly staff and an eye for the guest. We will definitely be back here again! 😊

Had a delicious meal and such a nice, cozy atmosphere. Great restaurant and great service!

Great! In the shopping center, spacious pitches and a bouncy castle for the kids. Also plenty of room to play for a bit. The food and the service were super!

Had another delicious lunch here, always good and cozy!

John helped us out fantastically. The delicious tender satay with sweet potato fries and a lovely beer is highly recommended.

Nice staff, nicely presented food. The location is difficult to find using navigation if you haven't been there before. Worth a repeat visit!

As always, the food was delicious again. The dishes look well-presented. The staff is always very friendly, with excellent service. Compliments on everything.

We had a delicious meal and were served by a very friendly employee, Angelica. What a fantastic evening! Thanks to her hospitality, keep up the good work, everyone. It started right at the reception; we hadn't reserved, but Die and Fernando did a bit of puzzling, and then we could start enjoying ourselves.

We had a delicious meal and received incredibly good service from the lovely Angelica. I highly recommend eating there.

We had a delicious meal. We both had chicken satay. It was actually a bit too much because we also had a starter and ordered extra salad with the main course. This was also so tasty and complete. Excellent work everyone. I even shouted to the kitchen staff that the food was delicious.

We had a delicious meal. It's a pity there was no lactose-free dessert.

Once again, we had a delicious meal in a cozy atmosphere! And super sweet service!

Here you still get real whipped cream with your apple pie.

Good parking Negative: Upstairs toilet is difficult for me as a disabled person to climb the stairs Staff very polite and friendly, worth repeating

Had a delicious meal, really a great one.

Had a delicious meal. Very friendly staff. Cozy atmosphere. Will definitely come back.

A good kitchen with tasty dishes. An atmospheric restaurant. The staff is welcoming and professional.

We had a fantastic three-course meal!

Good food for little money with the AH promotion: a 3-course dinner for 2 people for €29.95. Good quantity and quality! Only drinks and any extra costs for more expensive dishes are added on, but even then it is still cheap and good.

Well-prepared high tea with excellent service. Definitely recommended!

Very nice location, atmospherically decorated, lots of wood and cozy corners to sit in, despite being busy what you order is on the table quickly, wide choice of starters, main courses and desserts, very good food, the vegetarian satay is really tasty and plentiful... very friendly staff, inside it is very atmospheric, just cozy, relaxed and full of humor Kruidvat promotion, 3 courses for 29 euros amazing, no frills but really good food!

Had a delicious menu via Kruidvat. Pork satay with delicious peanut sauce. Very friendly staff. Nice ambiance with a wide selection.

The food was excellent again. Friendly staff. And a cozy atmosphere. We would love to come back with our children and grandchildren. We always enjoy ourselves at De Beren Houten.

We were a group of 20 adults and 9 children, divided across two long tables. The food was served neatly and simultaneously at each table; the food was delicious, and the service was friendly. The children had a wonderful time playing on and around the bouncy castle. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. A big compliment from us.

We had a delicious meal. The people who work there are all equally nice. We enjoyed ourselves.

You're asking about my ‘Beren experience’? It was truly Bear-good❣️ There were 8 of us to celebrate my son's and my birthdays. It's already special to share the same birthday, but it gets even better when you can truly enjoy De Beren's fantastic menu together! Thanks for the beautiful fireworks 😉

Had a delicious meal, friendly and good service.

We had a really delicious meal! We asked for a slightly quieter spot due to noise and that was no problem at all. So, a great evening 👍

Free parking on the top floor of the building. De Beren's space consists of a ground floor and a mezzanine second floor, creating a large open space. Fortunately, we were not bothered by loud music, as has become the norm in many restaurants; we could easily talk to each other. The food is tasty and the service is friendly. Unfortunately, the decor is industrial, meaning a cozy atmosphere is lacking. Thanks to a Kruidvat promotion, the total cost came down to just under €50 for two.

I had reserved a table outside without realizing it, but a table inside was quickly cleared for us—really great! Very cozy and the food delicious! Chicken satay, Spice Crispy Chicken, and spareribs. Desserts were also tasty: Apple crumble, chocolate lava cake with a scoop of ice cream, and dame blanche. They will be seeing us here more often!

Went out for dinner on Wednesday with the unlimited satay menu, had a delicious meal! The satay was tasty and the portions were good. Friendly staff.

We actually had an unexpectedly delicious meal.

Nice place with friendly waitresses. We enjoyed a High Tea deal here via Kruidvat. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of treats, however, the amount of sweet treats could have been a bit smaller.

We had a great time, with 6 women! Everything was great! For 15 euros pp, AH special offer.

Had a delicious meal for a good price. Cozy place.

Had a delicious high tea! The staff were also very friendly; it was no trouble at all to switch tables due to the bouncy castle inside!

As we are regulars at De Beren, we thoroughly enjoyed High Tea once again, thanks in part to their delicious products, of which a generous and varied selection was made. All of this was served by friendly staff in a cozy setting. We will definitely be back. Top notch everyone👍🏻

A delicious high tea with 2 for the price of 1

Had a delicious meal, no pushy staff

It was quite busy, and there appeared to be fewer staff this evening. We didn't notice anything negative about that and were served quickly and very courteously. We had delicious spareribs; definitely worth repeating.

Very friendly staff. Fast service. Enjoyed a delicious, varied high tea, soup, sweets, and tasty sandwiches. Very attentive; if the tea water ran out, new hot water was provided immediately. Nicely decorated restaurant.

The food was really great! The location in Houten is also very nice. For once again a Beren location where the 🐻 are visible again. Too bad only the socks were already sold out.

The portions are really getting too small. Slices of bread were no bigger than a normal baguette!!!! (lunchtime snack). And once again, a shame (unnecessary) about the many flies!!!!!!

We had a delicious meal, but the beer is very expensive. That is a shame.

The food was amazing and the service lightning fast and very friendly! You do have to be able to tolerate children's noises in the background, but otherwise it really is a fantastic restaurant!

Good food there and the service is also good and they are very friendly Highly recommended

I come here regularly and the service is always perfect. The team here is incredibly nice. Everyone is very attentive and seems to enjoy working there too. The chicken crush burger and the apple crumble are 100% recommended.

Cozy atmosphere, good service, only €6.20 for a glass of wine is on the high side

We thoroughly enjoyed the Saturday offer. We sat upstairs at a round table, which was very cozy.

The satay menu was delicious! Good service. It's a shame the Bear socks were sold out, something to consider perhaps. The promotion runs for the entire month of September!

We enjoyed a delicious high tea at De Beren. The dishes (sweet and savory) were excellent, as were the portions. It was more extensive than I had expected beforehand. The staff was attentive and friendly. A great experience.

I had made a reservation online and asked if we could sit on a corner. This was accommodated perfectly. Delicious meat, beautifully presented plate. Friendly staff.

Good food, cozy atmosphere, friendly service, excellent care

It was busy but cozy on Saturday evening, and we could talk to each other in a normal tone.

Cozy restaurant with friendly staff and good, affordable food

Yeah, the food was fine, it was just that it takes an abnormally long time, that is really scandalous. We've been there a few times already, but every time we had to start over. We wanted to give it another chance, but this was really the very last time. Seriously, it takes so long, it's not normal, just waited three quarters of an hour for dessert!!

The high tea was disappointing; we had expected more homemade snacks than the sweets that were available. The service was good, the staff friendly, and we were given a quiet spot, which was very nice, as was being able to turn the music off for a while. It was nice that they were so thoughtful. An hour was just enough for quality time with my mother.🙏

super cozy restaurant with very friendly staff, delicious food for a good affordable price

The food was delicious and the atmosphere in the restaurant was nice and relaxed. Due to an allergy, the chef even came to ask if everything was okay, with a list of ingredients. Full of praise for the staff in Houten 👍💪

Tasty and good food from satay to spareribs etc. Large cozy restaurant, plenty of seating, bouncy castle for the kids. Large outdoor terrace. Had a tasty meal, the simple atmosphere was a bit disappointing... and I love ice cream!! Concept/menu has been updated. Had a tasty and delicious meal. Highly recommended!! Social Deal promotion

Very nice place. Perfect service, good quality food.

Had a delicious high tea And had a cozy spot by the window Super friendly staff

We had a delicious meal, the service was enthusiastic, but due to a last-minute reservation, we sat outside by the bouncy castle. Without small children, I prefer sitting inside, there is more atmosphere.

We had an incredibly delicious meal, top quality, and a super friendly, warm welcome from arrival to departure.

Easy parking, nice welcome, friendly staff and delicious food.

Had a good meal. As a single person, I was put in a corner. A shame.

Super restaurant, very friendly staff

Very cozy and fun. Good food and a good price. Also suitable for large groups.

It is always a pleasant time at your place. Delicious 3-course menu (truffle croquettes, the satay of course, and a delicious dessert)! Good and extremely friendly service. It is a delight every single time! Highly recommended for everyone.

It was nice again, only the vegetables I got with my pork tenderloin were a bit bland and could use some seasonal changes. It was very quiet, but we still had to wait quite a long time for the drinks.

The high tea was great. I was disappointed that the corndogs were gone. But the chef still had some, and I was able to get them after all 🙂

Had a super experience at De Beren Houten! Enjoyed a well-catered and extensive high tea for two. The food was delicious and the staff outstanding! Very sweet people who take more than good care of you; truly excellent service! By far the best experience I have had at a dining establishment so far. Applause for the team that worked there! I recommend everyone take a look here.

The food was good and the atmosphere was cozy.

Great atmosphere, friendly service, delicious food. We even got warm socks to take home as a gift. What more could a person want? Nothing, right! I say: go to De Beren too, pure enjoyment.

Very friendly staff. The food was excellent. We will definitely come back again.

Always a nice atmosphere and friendly service at De Beren in Houten.

It was a super well-organized high tea

Food is great as always. The staff is always friendly and cheerful.

Great satay, quick bite, just the atmosphere could be a bit better.

We had the High Tea at Kruitvat and everything was amazing; we had a delicious meal. Deke, the waiter, was super friendly! In short, a perfect High Tea.
