Bij Merel Lunchroom en ontmoetingspunt in Wijk 00 Oirschot

Lunch was incredibly good. Delicious large toasted sandwich. Super tasty salmon focaccia and fresh tomato soup. Everything tasted wonderful.

Coffee, cappuccino, 2 pastries €19.00, I think €6.00 ​​and €6.50 are very expensive

They have the most delicious gluten-free bread here, which they make themselves! 😍

We had a delicious vegetarian high tea! It was very nice that both the chef and the wait staff did their best to surprise us with delicious treats, and they succeeded completely. The tea options were standard picnic bags, but the various courses of treats were absolutely top-notch.

An example for the competition in the local lunch market. The quality and variety leaving the kitchen are of a high standard. Unfortunately, in Oirschot—where the finest meat is for sale at local butchers—I miss the simple steak with bread or fries. Give it a try. We don't need an Amsterdam Loetje for that, do we?

What a surprising place for a delicious lunch. Friendly and attentive service and a delicious lunch! We had the "Surprise Platter" and it was excellent!

Had a delicious lunch with the deluxe snack platter featuring delicious Indonesian snacks! The service was excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed it! Highly recommended!

Delicious food and great service!

Beautiful place with a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The lunch we had was perfectly prepared, surprisingly well-presented, and very tasty! A place Oirschot can be proud of ♥️

It's been a long time since I've had such a delicious lunch. A lovely, spacious lunchroom with a pleasant and inviting decor, offering plenty of seating. Both the owners and staff are fantastic and take excellent care of you. We'll definitely be back!

Today (August 22, 2025) we celebrated a reunion at Bij Merel with 18 former colleagues. Bij Merel arranged everything perfectly. The tables were beautifully set up. We enjoyed a cup of coffee with the Oirschotse poffer (pancake). Afterwards, we enjoyed delicious soup and a wide variety of scrumptious sandwiches. Special arrangements were also made for those with dietary restrictions or allergies. The service was excellent and wonderfully relaxed. Thank you Bij Merel!

Beautiful, large, cozy lunchroom with a delicious menu and super friendly staff

Highly recommended! The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is friendly, and the food is delicious!

Nice restaurant with friendly service.

We cycled from Best to "bij Merel" for lunch during Marthy's vacation. We couldn't decide, so we decided to order a surprise platter. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent and friendly, courtesy of the "bij Merel" team.

Great lunchroom. People with intellectual disabilities help out there, very nice! Delicious food and good service. It's a shame the collaboration with the musical chairs is so minimal, so during the performance.

Great place and lovely people working there.

Super cozy lunchroom, and great service. We had a delicious lunch. Best, Corrianne

Good and fast service, nice terrace. Delicious food at Merel!!

Dropped in for coffee and something tasty. That turned out to be a (large) slice of Canadian apple pie. Very tasty and above all a lot! You no longer have to eat in the evening.

Friendly and cool dishes and chocolate milk with topping, a real gift Spacious toilet Wheelchair accessible

Very much enjoyed the “chef's surprise” in combination with top service😄👏🏻

Enjoyed a delicious iced coffee and an iced chocolate! (and a bowl of water for the dog)

So much love, not only in the people but also in the food. Think one of the most special experiences I've ever had in a Lunchroom. Everything was right! Our thanks are great and we will definitely come back here! Love from Armijn and the gift came from my heart for you.

Nice lunchroom, food was delicious and we were helped well. Called in advance to see if they had room. Reported that there was a child, so she reserved a spot at the play corner. Very thoughtful 👍🏼

Fantastic nice service. They should have them everywhere

I go there every 4 weeks with a friend to drink latte maciato, where you can sit comfortably. staff is friendly toilets are clean

A cozy lunchroom with a delicious menu . Tasty offers every day

Heel erg gezellig, lekker eten en leuke mensen die serveren! Wonderful place with delicious food, and the waiters are so special, sweet, and lovely that I recommend everyone to go there! We love it there!❤️

Super lunchroom, nice staff, delicious food and a nice relaxed atmosphere! I will definitely come back a few more times.

Relaxing atmosphere and good service.

Nice place for lunch. Very modern furnishings (I like), in what used to be part of De Enck. There is also a terrace, but there were a lot of us, so all of us inside in the shade and coolness was nice. Service excellent; Some of the staff have Down syndrome and receive excellent guidance, so that everything runs perfectly. The Burgundian croquettes were very tasty. Recommended!

Today I ate the salad with prawns at 'Bij Merel'. The plate was well filled, colorful and beautifully presented, the flavors were perfectly matched by the chef. The atmosphere is extremely pleasant and the service - by staff with special qualities - was very pleasant. I think it is unnecessary to say that I think 'Bij Merel' is an absolute must.

On the opening day of Bij Merel I dropped in for a cup of coffee. Received a delicious cup with a delicious piece of carrot cake and a glass of whipped cream, a real treat! Later that week I went to lunch with the children, an extensive menu with delicious and surprising dishes. The children had fun at the table with a nice cart with various toys and in the children's corner. A tip for the children: ask for a babycino ☕️🤗

Delicious lunch, nice place and nice surroundings! Good club sandwich, very good price/quality ratio, friendly staff and good atmosphere.

Very tasty bouncer and coffee served in a wooden bowl with a small cake. Looks beautiful and will definitely come back more often!

Delicious food and nice service!

What a beautiful lunchroom in Oirschot, with super nice people who work there. And the food is delicious!! Highly recommended. We will definitely come back.
