brasserie restaurant winkk in Dongen

The food was delicious. The pork tenderloin and the fries are highly recommended. As is the apple pie for dessert. Mmmmmmmm

Had a lovely meal, view of a beautiful park, not ridiculously busy, and sat outside. The food was top-notch! Nice portions, quality, and delicious flavors 😁 And the dessert with the pineapple? Chili and pineapple are good friends 👌

We had a delicious meal and pleasant service.

Friendly service, tasty food, and the prices are reasonable too; we have been here several times already, which says something.

Had a delicious meal, good service and very friendly

Excellent food and drink again, that's why I keep coming back when working in the area. Priced very reasonably as well.

On August 18, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, we celebrated Dad's 100th birthday in a wonderful atmosphere at Villa Kakelbont. All the children had a great time playing in the park, and family, friends, and acquaintances enjoyed a pleasant drink together. Afterwards, the 6 families had a hot meal before all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren, tired but satisfied, began their journey home.

We were staying at the hotel and spontaneously decided to have dinner there. We didn't have high expectations and were pleasantly surprised. The staff was incredibly friendly. Everything was very quick and perfectly fine. The price was right.

Nice brasserie, atmospherically decorated. But because it was a lovely summer evening, we enjoyed sitting outside on the terrace. Delicious food and friendly service. Highly recommended if you are in the area!

Had a delicious meal at Villa Kakelbont, and reasonable prices, worth repeating!!!

Had a good meal, good atmosphere, worth repeating.

We had a delicious meal and, very important to me, the chef handled gluten-free food very well!! I didn't have any issues at all! The house wine, a Merlot, was perfect; the wine had a beautiful red/purple color! In short, we enjoyed ourselves!

First visit and can highly recommend the restaurant. Top quality Ingredients and very tasty. Very reasonably priced. We Will try the lunch menu next

Great location, delicious food, good service

We had a delicious meal at a cozy location with excellent service. There is something for everyone. My pork tenderloin medallions were just right, wonderfully tender and a generous portion. The vegetables were also very tasty. More than good value for money.

Atmospheric brasserie where you can enjoy delicious food both outside and inside. Friendly staff and good prices.

Delicious food. Super beautiful place

Had a bad meal. We had a small chicken thigh skewer with a lot of fat, drizzled with 3 drops of peanut sauce. Very bad. My dessert was Eton mess with a small piece of meringue, 1 chopped strawberry, and a whole lot of thin whipped cream from a spray can which, according to the menu, should have been cream. Also very bad. I lodged a complaint but received absolutely no response. No answer is even given. Unbelievable!! We have been here before, but it is getting worse and worse. We won't be coming back, what a shame.

We had a very delicious meal. Good prices, generous portions and tasty flavor, and they take gluten-free diets and potential cross-contamination into account very well. The gluten-free bread was delicious.

Great place , fair prices . Really nice view .

Had a lovely lunch on the terrace under the trees.

This is a nice place to eat delicious and affordable food, highly recommended.

We were regular customers under the previous owner. Beautifully renovated interior and a nicely executed and well-implemented concept. However, there are a lot of tables/seats…. Very friendly service, although the staff did come to the table multiple times with the same question. Also, the dishes came out of the kitchen a bit slowly, even though it wasn't full, but we were here during Pentecost and the restaurant had only been open for 10 days, so we won't complain about that. They run a sharing concept, but the “main courses” like a hamburger or a salmon steak are difficult to share. A cheese board as a starter was shareable, but 6 slices of cheese for €12 is a bit stingy, especially since it is aimed at the masses. The “main courses” of salmon and steak were prepared exceptionally well, but vegetables and fries have to be ordered separately. The fries were great, but all in all, it still ends up being a pricey “medium-sized” main course. A tip is to serve the dishes in smaller portions/bowls/plates so that shared dining is actually possible. We will come back at a later stage.

Cozy terrace with friendly service. It is also very cozy inside.

We had dinner for two last night. The food and drinks were perfectly fine!

Had a delicious meal for a reasonable price. The service was super friendly. We will definitely come back here!

Yesterday, on Easter Monday, we had lunch with children and grandchildren. Beautiful brasserie, a warm welcome, and delicious food. Everyone thought it was great!

We were here today for Easter brunch and enjoyed it immensely! The buffet was very extensive with a wide selection, and everything we tasted was truly delicious. Additionally, everything was perfectly organized: the dishes were continuously replenished and everything looked well-presented. It was our first time here, but certainly not our last. We have already taken a look at the menu and would love to return soon for dinner!

Eaten here for the first time; nice, atmospheric decor, friendly service, and the food was excellent and affordable. Highly recommended.

Hello, we are here. March 23, 2026. Be there for dinner and the food was super, very tasty, the service good, the atmosphere excellent, highly recommended, top notch. Kind regards, Marion

We had a fantastic dinner. The cuisine was sublime. And the service certainly deserves praise. Friendly, homey, and very professional. We love this, thank you.

On the evening of March 7, 2026, we had dinner at Brasserie Kakelbont. Despite the restaurant being a bit understaffed, we were surprised by the food and the friendly service. The young lady serving was fantastic! Because it was "empty," the atmosphere wasn't ideal, but the service and food definitely made up for it. We ordered a starter and a main course. For the starter, I had the tomato soup with meatballs (delicious) and my husband the bruschetta. It was a bit disappointing; it came with a warm baguette, not toast. My husband had the Bonte Burger for the main course, and I had the chicken thigh skewer with pineapple. For the side dish, we chose truffle mayonnaise and Parmesan-covered fries, and regular fries. We had a delicious meal!

We enjoyed a delicious and extensive breakfast to start our day of Efteling adventures with a full stomach. And, importantly in these times, Brasserie Kakelbont also takes care to minimize food waste. Definitely worth a visit!

Pleasant atmosphere. But the lunch was ordinary and not very good.

Some time ago, we booked a table here to round off our holiday. It's a charming building and the location is beautiful, with the park bordering the terrace. Upon arrival, only two tables were occupied, one inside and one outside. We sat outside because there was a noisy group inside. After ordering, it took at least 30 minutes, plus another request, before we received our drinks and our first bread board, which was missing its herb butter. It wasn't brought back, despite asking twice. People who came in after our order had already received their food before we had our bread board and drinks on the table. Even when we ordered a second bread board and requested extra herb butter, we didn't receive it. After another half-hour wait, we received our starter, by which time we had already been sitting there for an hour. After the table was cleared, we waited over an hour for our main courses, asking several times where our food was. During this time, we saw several people arrive, order, and receive their meals. We never saw the third bread platter we ordered after the starter. The main courses certainly weren't brought to the table immediately from the kitchen, as they were lukewarm. The lettuce/salad still had sand in it, so it hadn't been (properly) washed. We returned with the lukewarm fries, but the new fries weren't cooked properly, and some were still cold inside. The excuse was that there weren't enough staff. Even then, the solution isn't to randomly make a few people wait while serving others promptly. So, after the main course, we left, and my husband reiterated our complaints when paying. The solution was that we didn't have to pay for our drinks and bread platter. Up to this point, it was worth 3 stars to me. Despite the long waits, the food was good, and there's not much you can do about noisy guests. But while my husband was paying, I was waiting by the side entrance and, to my surprise, saw two people emerge from the kitchen to quietly sit in the smoking area, smoking! The excuse for the long wait was a shortage of staff! All in all, the whole experience isn't even worth one star. We repeatedly mentioned that something was missing, was taking too long, or was lukewarm instead of hot. A few times, the answer was that someone would come to us, for example, to take our drink orders, but that only happened once, and then the drinks never arrived. The one star is for the significant discount we received on the bill, but it will be a long time before we return.

The food is delicious! The staff is friendly!

It's hard to believe it wasn't packed on a Saturday afternoon. My goodness, we had a delicious meal/lunch. And we don't say that often. My husband had the house-smoked salmon on bread, and I had the chicken with bacon strips. The price-quality ratio is above average. Where else can you get so much for under €10.00? With two drinks per person and these dishes each, we spent less than €35.00. Definitely worth coming back and highly recommended.

Great business, nice atmosphere, food was great, nothing to complain about, will definitely buy again

Enjoyed a lovely meal. Beautiful restaurant, delicious food at affordable prices. Friendly service.

Delicious food for a great price with very friendly service.

Delicious oat cappuccino and nice atmosphere

Nice and cozy atmosphere! The coffee was delicious.

We had a delicious meal. The atmosphere was great and the service was friendly. Excellent.

Delicious lunch dishes, also dinner (until 9 p.m.). Friendly service in a peaceful atmosphere, next to a beautiful park.

There's a lack of information and knowledge about allergens. When we asked for an allergen card, we were given a folder with items not listed on the menu, and when ordering, it wasn't clear whether the gluten-free requirement was properly communicated. We weren't asked if everything was to our liking or if we wanted to order anything else (other tables were). When we paid, we were expected to leave a tip, but unfortunately, we didn't think it was worth it.

Extensive lunch menu. We opted for the 12-hour fish special, which turned out to be a good choice. A downside is the slow service. One person, with over 30 guests, is not enough.

A really nice brasserie with affordable prices and delicious food. Highly recommended.

Great atmospheric brasserie and both the food and service are top notch

We ate here for my father-in-law's 100th birthday. Yesterday, we mentioned that we were coming with 19 people, and yet they set the table for 18. It took forever to get our food, and one side of the table had already finished eating before the other had even had anything to eat. It took us 4.5 hours for two courses. Unfortunately, the food wasn't great. It was simple and nothing special. I had the salmon salad, and it was swimming in oil. It's a shame because the interior is very nice, and you can sit on a lovely terrace if you like. It's fine for drinks, but I wouldn't recommend it for dinner.

Good and cozy and friendly service

I had an unpleasant experience when I ate here for the first time recently. The food wasn't cooked through, it was tasteless, and it took far too long to arrive. I also found the situation very unprofessional. I've heard a lot of complaints from others about this place, and I completely understand their opinions. It's not worth the effort or your money.

Simple but attractive menu, and the conservatory area offers a lovely view of the park. Friendly service and delicious food.

We were staying at the Hotel "de Villa" and came here for dinner. The quality was good, but there was very little on the plates. No salad garnish, no side dishes – nothing. 3 iced teas, 1 rump steak, 1 pork fillet medallions, 1 apple pie with cream and ice cream: just under €60. Yes, it was tasty – but the portions were very tiny. Even though the rump steak had a lot of meat, it weighed 120 grams.

A varied menu with some game for Elma, meat, fish, and vegetarian. Friendly service and a cozy, colorful interior. Excellent value for money!

Cozy interior. We sat partly outside and partly on the large terrace. The service was very friendly and attentive. The lunch looked good and tasted great. I would have preferred some firmer bread with the fish sandwich instead of "cotton bread." The espresso was delicious.

Great place. Beautiful location next to the park. Friendly people.

Ate at Brasserie Kakelbont for the first time. I had a great meal, the gambas were good, and the grilled vegetables were also great. I could choose the side dishes myself, which is nice because you don't get standard fries on your plate. The staff was friendly and pleasant. I had a wonderful evening, and will definitely come back.

Great food, super friendly (certainly Angelique) have been living in Dongen for years and have never been inside. Well that is going to change. I would say try it out it is fantastic.

tonight we had a great time at Brasserie Kakelbont, a real gem in Dongen, very nicely decorated and delicious dishes for a fair price. and definitely worth repeating We will definitely come back

Apple pie from the freezer and heated in the microwave.

Great cozy establishment. Delicious food and good staff

In the evening on May 3, 2025, we had a bite to eat at Brasserie Kakelbont. To be very honest, this was not our first choice for a bite to eat, but last minute it was the only one that had room this evening. And quite honestly, even though the place was not well stocked, I was still surprised by the food and the friendliness of the service. A bit direct here and there and perhaps awkward, but that did not detract from the good service. Especially the young man serving was great! The style is different than normal and Kakelbont naturally comes from Pippi Longstocking and this is also reflected in the interior, a nice touch! Because it was ''empty'', the atmosphere was not optimal, but the service and food certainly made up for this. We went for a main course and a dessert. The main course I chose was the Bonte Burger and my table companion went for the Kangaroo. As a side dish (you must order this separately) we chose truffle mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese-covered fries. To be honest, we both didn't regret our choice, because it tasted delicious! Kangaroo was tender and delicious and the burger was well filled and just fit in your mouth. The fries also tasted great. After such a main course we opted for a small dessert, so we chose the sorbet. This was just 2 scoops of ice cream with some fruit. This was also tasty. In short, a delicious meal, nice company in a positively decorated Brasserie!

The loud and publicly audible complaint from the staff that they cannot work if they have to go outside via the pedestrian door instead of the fire door says it all. Little passion for the profession and just as little compassion for elderly people who do not want to be in the draft. People got up and sat elsewhere because the staff did not understand the feedback, which is a shame because the location is beautifully located. Ultimately it's about how you are treated and that determines the atmosphere. The asparagus soup was substandard, too watery, little taste and with only a few tiny asparagus cubes of 3mm. The salmon and hamburger were good except for the onion rings, which looked like plastic. The homemade apple pie made up for a lot and was really tasty.

Delicious food and excellent service

What a nice tent. Highly recommended if you are here. We enjoy the colorful sandwich and the colorful fish and the delicious fries with gingerbread herbs

As a hotel guest you will get a good breakfast here and you can enjoy an excellent meal here. This combined with the friendly staff makes a visit here a pleasant experience.

booeeee bad thing.. balls tent!!!!!

Not so friendly staff, not a 2nd time

Nice decor, attractive. Good concept and tasty food. Recommended

Delicious food, great service and a cozy atmosphere

Surprisingly delicious food. The food looked excellent and served with a smile. Grilled Caesar salad is highly recommended. We will definitely come back here.

Nice lunch. Nice place and pleasant service

What a nice place to eat this is! A very surprising and friendly priced menu, delicious food, good wine (also zero) and cheerful and service-oriented service. We say: we would love to come back here!

A hidden gem (for us) in Dongen! Tonight we had dinner at Brasserie Kakelbont for the first time since we lived in Dongen and what a party it was. We have a delicious 3-course menu and the tomato soup with meatballs is definitely recommended! In addition, it is clearly noticeable that the meat comes from the local butcher because it was of excellent quality! We will definitely come by more often :) Also a plus: the dog was allowed to come along!

What a wonderful experience in Dongen The atmosphere/ambiance... the friendly host... and the delicious food... and the pleasant atmosphere make for a pleasant experience... And the menu has something for everyone... and where can you find a vlaflip on the menu... absolutely no pancake house atmosphere... but a chic brasserie....

Beautiful and cozy building, completely in the Christmas spirit. Very friendly service and delicious food. With the highlight being an old-fashioned delicious custard lip

Simply a beautiful location where an enthusiastic owner and staff do their best to make the guests happy. All in all, an address where you can enjoy your coffee, lunch or dinner in a relaxed, informal manner. Also the option to stay in to book an overnight stay at the hotel...I'd say just try it once...

Food was bad Tuna salad was white in color Egg salad had a bad taste

The food was delicious, there was nothing to complain about, but the temperature in the restaurant was cold and that did not make the environment pleasant to have a drink, for example.

Had a delicious meal with my son. Friendly service, nice and attractive location. Highly recommended and the price-quality ratio is really excellent!

Delicious food and super friendly staff, highly recommended!

Very cozy restaurant. Nice appearance. Only we won't be back. Had to wait a very long time to order. You are politely asked how the steak should be. Medium rare. It was like the sole of a shoe. The rest have already finished their food and 1 man is eating alone. Orders new fries. Not received after 15 minutes. Choco Villa kakebont consists of ears, coffee beans and old chocolates. Said we won't come back. No sorry, or annoying. Very unfortunate

Went there tonight, it has a nice atmospheric appearance. Food was also very tasty and staff very friendly. Until about 9pm then... It wasn't busy (Monday evening) so didn't the heating have to be turned on? It was even colder inside than outside ☃️. At 8:30 PM it was neatly announced that we could not order anything after 9:00 PM. A bit strange, since the website states that they are open until 11 p.m. But nothing else was said. At exactly 9 p.m. the bill was placed on the table without us asking for it. We were also not asked if we wanted to pay/leave. Then at 9.15 pm someone starts mopping the floor very furiously and the music is turned off (in the hope that we would leave?). Only then will someone come to us to say that they want to close this way. Then say this when you put the bill on the table! AND DO NOT PUT ON THE WEBSITE THAT YOU ARE OPEN UNTIL 11:00 PM! This is nice and hospitable... 🤔☃️🤣.

My husband and I dinner tonight there and we enjoy very much our dishes. Everything was excellent:super service, ambience; and what a nice surprise to find out we were attended by owner himself. Interesting place to visit as historic and beautiful mansion and also is a boutique hotel with beautiful 14 rooms. Success!!!!

Had a delicious meal at Brasserie Kakelbont on Friday, August 30. There is a wide choice of starters and main courses. We had the salmon fillet grilled on charcoal and the prawns. Highly recommended. And finally the tasty grilled pineapple. The service is friendly and hospitable. The dishes are low priced. Inside, the restaurant is tastefully and warmly decorated. Outside there is a terrace located next to a beautiful park. Brasserie Kakelbont is highly recommended. We will definitely come back.

Fun for the whole family and good food.

Very nice brasserie, nice lunch on the terrace, very friendly staff! Super colorful decor.

Had a nice meal tonight, but no atmosphere. Staff did not know what was wanted. Too bad that in Dongen

Nice dishes. Big enough, so less waste. No separate lunch or dinner menu. You simply order what you like and when you like it. It is wonderful to sit in the sun on the terrace

I had already heard that it is not really good, but I always wanted to try it out for myself. Well, it's true, lobster soup without lobster so just some broth, I was supposed to get a plate with 2 pieces of Dorado fish, but it turned out to be only 1 SMALL piece of 5 cm and that cost € 13.50 A hamburger for €18.50 with a diameter of no more than 6 cm and so on. If you want a second glass of wine, they come with the bottle because they are too lame to rinse. Sorry if I sound harsh, but the price per tapa is many times higher than normal. There is another tapa restaurant in the region where you can eat ALL EVENING for half the price They really can't keep this up, too expensive for far too little food

Price-quality ratio must be better. I had a veggie burger. Was a small burger on a small bun, without decoration, but 14 euros. The chicken thigh skewer was also on the pricey side for only 1 skewer with literally tasteless prawn crackers for 13.75. You had to order fries separately. The food itself was tasty, but relatively expensive for what you get. The All Day concept where you can share dishes is not clear enough. When you order something you will receive a clearly laid out plate for one person. It is also not clear whether all dishes on the menu are now included, because everything is served as a single dish (with corresponding price).

After having eaten at the old Winkk business a few times, we now wanted to try the new Brasserie Kakelbont business with the new concept. You can sit on the terrace, really relaxed. It wasn't that busy, there were 4 tables on a sunny Sunday. It turned out very nice inside. They have nice beers on the menu and tap. I had the homemade ice tea which unfortunately was not very tasty. It was as if the lemons were not good, very sour, so I added some sugar, but that didn't really help. I didn't drink it all either. My husband had an Opener beer which is from a Dongen brewery and later a draft beer. The idea of ​​small dishes that you can share is a nice idea. But I find the amounts for some main courses expensive compared to what you get. For example, with a hamburger sandwich, sharing is difficult and if you want fries with it it becomes quite pricey, but the ribeye is a lot cheaper. We had a br sandwich with cheese and fried egg, br sandwich with grilled chicken and I had a white sandwich, the Bonte sandwich. The mainly white bread was not fresh and very dry and falling apart. The toppings were good, but it was a shame that the bread was so dry. This is easily remedied by buying bread from the bakery in your own village, which are very good, and baking these loaves on the day itself so that it is not dry and gets a nice hard crust. This was factory bread and really not tasty. I reported it about the bread and ice tea and hope they do something about it. We will definitely come back and I hope they listen to their guests and the other reviews and do a few things differently. Then it will surely become a top business.

Nothing has changed in the atmosphere that was there with the previous owner. It is simply a beautiful building in a beautiful location. But the hamburger I got for lunch really didn't taste like anything. Even if it was angus meat, it is still a hamburger. And it was raw and therefore cold on a soggy bun. You had to find the lettuce, there were exactly 2 small slices of pickle on it and a dollop of sauce. That sauce was the only tasty thing about the whole thing. And all for a cool 16.50 euros. At McDonald's you get even more value for your money. There are certainly some cafeterias in Dongen that can prepare a much tastier hamburger for half the price. Moreover, it took a very long time to get our food even though it was not really busy. They won't see us again

I actually think the concept is worthless If you don't want to leave the table hungry, you will spend about 40 euros per person, which I think is quite pricey. For lunch.

Had lunch with some friends, had to wait a very long time for the dishes and it was not overly busy. Soup was not really warm, salad is quite small. There will probably be start-up problems, but hopefully they will work on this

An incredibly delicious meal, which is easy with this wonderfully surprising menu. Friendly staff and nice coffee. We will definitely come back, greetings

An unclear concept and dishes that are small in size and in price match a larger quantity. Some dishes are also difficult to share and it takes a long time before dishes are served.

Super happy with the arrival of Brasserie Kakelbont in Dongen! The beautiful appearance of the building, the warm colors and trendy decor create a nice atmosphere for a nice bite to eat! Varied menu, great prices and friendly staff! Great, congratulations on your beautiful Brasserie 👌🏻👏🏻🥂

We were very excited about a new eatery in Dongen. But what a mockery this is. I understand that there may be start-up problems, but there are still many points that are wrong. A burger for almost 18 euros, which turns out to be a small burger on a soggy soft bun without even a pinneke fries. That's a lot of money for little food. What also bothered me was that a lot of it was not available. Proudly put on the menu that you have Homemade Lemonade but don't have the ingredients for it. I asked for a glass of tap water for medicine, but they don't do that because only water from an expensive filtered tap water for which you pay big money. While according to my knowledge it is mandatory to serve tap water when asked. Service not friendly either. I hope that they will soon start working and purchasing better and think about their prices, otherwise I don't think it will have a long life by Dongense standards. The business and corporate identity look great, but in the end you won't make any money with it.

Super tasty dishes with products from the region and a very good concept to share. With plenty of choice of cold or warm starters and charcoal-grilled meat, fish or vegetarian dishes. Very hospitable and friendly service Angelique, you are great! The atmosphere inside is fantastic and outside on the terrace is also recommended, located next to a beautiful park. Nice prices and certainly worth more than 5 stars, especially with the opening discount!
