Café d'Ouwe Tak in Blaricum

With the new owner, d'Ouwe Tak is back to being the way a village pub should be!

Just out of the ordinary during the week, a little pub crawl in picturesque Blaricum. We are warmly welcomed at De Ouwe Tak for (just) a cup of coffee and tea. Not much has changed since the takeover, by the looks of it. Cozy!

Thank you very much, the food was delicious and the staff was nice.😊😊

Fine place to eat, tasty menu, and friendly staff. It's a shame they wouldn't accept my gift card for the restaurant because there is a different owner now. The gift card clearly said 'Café d'Ouwe Tak'. A bit childish.

Cozy place and excellent food! It's a shame that the ice cream on the dessert crystallized, presumably due to refreezing.

Delicious food, the same good quality for years!

Cozy, good food, not expensive, ate with 2 people.

Ate at 'de tak' again after years; Jacquliene is still there and the food is as delicious as ever! A rediscovery!

Had spare ribs, good portion. Service friendly, great atmosphere.

Delicious food, just like the old days, highly recommended!

Yes! New management 💥. Everything is better, the staff is cheerful, the food is at least as tasty, and it's just the same atmosphere as before. The café looks clean and fresh. The beer is just slightly cooler than before. So, well done!

We are already familiar with this place. Recently (2 months ago), the restaurant changed owners. The new owner also owns Moeke Spijkstea, also from Blaricum. The staff was retained and the menu has become even better. Pleasant staff, good service, and delicious food. We will definitely be back.

Great location. Easy parking. Good food.

Just nice 👍 You can also watch the football matches here.

Had a delicious meal. Always pleasant service and a relaxed atmosphere.

Back at our ‘old’ Café d’Ouwe Tak again last night 💛 And what a party it was! The new menu feels completely familiar again, exactly as we left it at the end of 2022. Even the placemat, the candle, and that fresh flower on the table are back – love it! 🌸🕯️ There were six of us and everyone was enthusiastic – from the bread board with homemade herb butter on the house to the main course, everything was top-notch! And packed to boot 🔥 Ouwe Tak 2.0 is back in town – and how! 🙌

We had a delicious, old-fashioned meal for a very reasonable price. Delicious onion soup, sole, snails, and pork tenderloin satay. It's great that the new owner has restored the Tak's old-fashioned quality. We'll be back soon!

After waiting for over 25 minutes, we asked at the bar if we could order something. We managed to get two main courses. The starter was forgotten, but that happens. After the main course, we tried several times to order dessert and coffee. After 15 minutes, we gave up and paid the bill at the bar. Maybe we'll try again in a few years.

Absolutely fantastic, everything is perfect. It's a farmhouse converted into a pub and restaurant. It's always cozy and not noisy, despite the presence of children and dogs, who are welcome and well-behaved. Friendly staff and delicious food. Always good.

Nice café. The seating arrangement at the bar is a bit odd, but the service is excellent. The Amstel beer flows freely, and the atmosphere is excellent.

The atmosphere is super cozy here, especially during the Christmas season. The service was good. I had the burger, and it was excellent. It is a bit on the expensive side, at least the €23.50 burger. In other restaurants, it costs €16-20. But hey, I'm only a student.

Another delicious meal for a great price! Lovely atmosphere!

Cozy restaurant, just around the corner for me. Delicious tournedos, but ordering is a bit messy. Delicious beers and wines.

I've had several delicious meals at De Ouwe Tak in the past. The atmosphere was always good, though it was busy, which is a good sign. However, since they took over, I haven't been back until tonight. What a disappointment... I paid €25.50 for a worthless "fried" schnitzel made with what I considered fake meat. €4 for a small bowl of mushroom sauce, and the fries that came with it barely had any color. Honestly, if I'd gone to the snack bar and ordered a schnitzel with fries, I would have had a better meal for much less money than here. My companion opted for a steak, and honestly, I didn't try it myself, but the texture of the steak didn't exactly invite me to. I also didn't think the atmosphere was great. The "old branch" atmosphere was nowhere to be found. They won't be seeing me again, and now I understand why it was so quiet. Tip of the day... if you want a good meal in a nice atmosphere, skip this 'restaurant'.

Great food! Relaxed traditional Dutch pub with really good food!! A bit pricey for a traditional Dutch pub, but it's Blaricum, haha. Had a great evening :)

We had a better experience than a few months ago. They've changed the menu and, I believe, hired a different chef. It's almost like old times again. The food was delicious.

A cozy place to enjoy a drink and/or a bite to eat. A lovely village atmosphere with all the trimmings. And excellent food. Fantastic!

What a lovely café-restaurant! Authentic in every way. First of all, the service: fast, friendly, and attentive. A great menu with delicious dishes. We went for the calf's liver, which was excellent. We had a fantastic evening. Hanneke and Wim.

An authentic dark brown cafe where you can enjoy a delicious meal and the open atmosphere

You have to call or fetch service yourself. Soggy fries, little cheese fondue for the price, and the spareribs too! The salad was small. It's a shame, but I'll only go there for drinks and a bitterbal from now on.

Keeping such an old-fashioned cafe alive and vibrant is simply an art. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is magical! Thank you!

Cozy, top kitchen, top service.

Super fun during the Bkaricum Fair

What a fantastic place! Especially in the evenings, you can have a nice get-together and a drink. Highly recommended!

We were a group of seven, including my 87-year-old mother, whose birthday we were celebrating (July 17, 2025, we already had a reservation). We arrived at 5:45 PM, and drinks arrived promptly. At 6:45 PM, we had to ask for a menu ourselves. The menu turned out to be a "small menu," which was a disappointment, as the online menu was much more extensive. We ordered starters and main courses around 6:55 PM. Meanwhile, people arrived after us and were able to pay for their food before we received our starters. At 7:40 PM, we asked where the starter was and that we were hungry. Only then was we told there was only one cook. Finally, at 7:50 PM (after 2 hours!!), the starter arrived. It tasted great. At 8:40 PM, the main course finally arrived, again after having to ask for it ourselves. Some of us didn't finish it completely, as we were already beyond hungry. Such a shame. Finally, at 9:25 PM, I got up again to find someone to share my money with. We felt invisible and ignored the entire evening. It's a shame they didn't even offer a cup of coffee or anything. This wasn't how we envisioned celebrating my mother's 87th birthday. I'll never come back here.

Ben wel vaker in de Oude Tak geweest en dan was het eten altijd bovengemiddeld. Deze keer was het eigenlijk zeer, zeer(!) matig. Heb er spijt van dat ik net mijn buitenlandse vrienden niet naar dat andere Blaricumse eetcafé gegaan ben (Moeke Spijkstra). Het zal heel lang duren voordat ik het nog eens ga proberen bij de Oude Tak. Afknapper!

Vriendelijk personeel. We kwamen voor de kalfslever maar helaas. Uitgedunde kaart met weinig gerechten. Van armoede een trio van koude vis gegeten, paar stukjes forel, paar stukjes gerookte zalm, wat rivierkreeftjes, geroosterd brood, 18,75 euro! Slechte kwaliteit-prijsverhouding.

PLEASE NOTE...UPDATE Cozy pub in the Gooi region where you can also enjoy delicious food. This was the review from two years ago. Unfortunately, everything has changed since then. Long waits for the menu. Long waits for drinks. The quality of the food is truly abysmal. The formerly delicious snails were practically inedible. The selection is much more limited than before. The new owner is quickly ruining this once fantastic establishment. A real shame and very disappointing. I really hope they wake up in time, Because otherwise, it will be the end of the story in no time, and it will become the dilapidated Tak, which would be a real shame.

Tegenvallend, menukaart vergeleken met vorige week drastisch ingekrompen. Weinig keuze zowel in hoofdgerecht als nagerecht. Geen biefstuk op de kaart, wat een tegenvaller. Ook geen kalfslever ( bij navraag vanwege vakantie !!!!!!!!). Voorlopig geen bezoek meer bij dit restaurant. Waarom gooi je de tent niet dicht als je niet aan bepaalde voorwaarden kunt voldoen ? Dit is slechte reclame. Afsluitend : kwaliteit eten prima.

Heerlijk gegeten met zijn vieren op lekker druk terras. Bediening was top en heel vriendelijk. Ook parkeren vlakbij restaurant.

Delicious food, great service-oriented team. Beautiful location.

We had made a reservation for 7:15 PM and were shown to our table. Drink orders were taken and arrived quickly afterward. The sandwich we requested also arrived shortly after. However, 45 minutes had passed before we received our menu. Finally, we asked for the menu ourselves (sorry, but this is way too long). It took at least 20 minutes for our order to be taken; we were almost ready to leave. Another 20 minutes later, our starter arrived. It was delicious. It had been half an hour before the table was cleared, and we sat for quite a while with dirty plates. It had reached the point where we almost left. At 9:30 PM, we finally received our main course, which was again excellent. We regularly visited the old branch, partly because of the friendly atmosphere, the attentive staff, and the food, which was excellent value for money. Unfortunately, we didn't experience this last time. The price has really gone up considerably: €25.50 for a schnitzel? Seriously? I was shocked by the bill. It's a real shame that a successful café/restaurant has deteriorated so much. I understand that it was busy due to a party at the OBB. It would have been nice if they had let us know that it might take a little longer. Then we could have made our own choice. The reservation email stated the end time was 9:15 PM. Personally, I don't like this; it didn't work out, and that wasn't our fault. We're very sorry for this experience. To be honest, I won't be back anytime soon, unfortunately.

Harde houten oude stoeltjes, biefstuk zoon was bedorven en stonk biefstuk van mijn man héél taai. Mijn zalm was okay. Voorafje was goed.

Always had a nice and tasty meal here for a normal price. Today I ate entrecote that I can make at home with better quality, broccoli and cauliflower overcooked, price went up considerably! Not my restaurant anymore!

Local pub, regulars' table at the entrance, some visitors at the bar belonging to the furniture, wooden tables in the heritage, with a cozy appearance, gin from the fridge or from the freezer, hand poured, which is becoming a rarity, outside a few tables in the sun and parking almost in front of the door, and very friendly service, so all in all a nice place

Super nice place to eat and drink inside or outside in a relaxed atmosphere.

Excellent café restaurant. Lots of atmosphere and perfect service from the ladies. Not pretentious like Moeke. We haven't dined there yet, will come. Our favorite place in Blaricum!

We like to stop here for a drink and a bite to eat. Lovely, friendly people and delicious food and drinks. Thanks for this.

Had dinner with friends for the first time after the takeover. What a disappointment! Not much has changed in the interior, only the billiards are gone. The friendly, experienced service is nowhere to be seen. The service that is currently running there is inexperienced and insecure. And...not very accommodating. Cleaning the place while you are still dining, it was around 10 p.m. and the opening time on Saturday is 1 a.m. Had to walk to the bar myself to order something. The food was okay, raw steak when ordered medium, asparagus soup with egg and ham where the egg was missing and the ham was sliced ​​so paper thin and cooked that the taste was completely gone, fries that had been fried again making them tough, etc. The table was not cleared and the cutlery was forgotten for every course. The atmosphere in the new 'Old Branch' is gone. There was a soul in the 'old' Ouwe Branch and it has completely disappeared. Very unfortunate!!

It really is a wonderful café, first have a drink at the bar and then enjoy the tasty dishes. You will be surprised every week with new dishes outside the menu.

What a nice atmosphere here in this super cozy cafe. Delicious food and drinks for a great price. There were four of us and we had two dogs with us, no problem, that's fine. We will definitely eat here more often.

Always delicious food and great service at Ouwe Tak

In the past I ate at least once a month. Went there twice after the takeover and it was a disappointment. Quality of food was much less. The hospitality of staff was also disappointing.

The old branch is no longer what it used to be. Went there last night with 8 people. We were really looking forward to it, had not been there for 3 years due to circumstances, but had previously left regularly and always happy and very satisfied. We were looking forward to it. But what a deception... - All dishes were cold or lukewarm, both starters and main courses. - snails were also lukewarm, and after it was returned (warmed up), the accompanying sandwiches were gone. - all dishes so much smaller portions (but the same or higher price) - the fish pot was a vegetable pot: not a piece of fish to be seen! and mealy tasteless sauce full of carrot and broccoli. - Spare ribs have little taste, but nice tender meat. There was hardly any difference between the spicy and sweet. What a minimal portion. Where have the old branch options gone!? - Ordered 2x tenderloin: medium, were also cold and raw on the inside, returned and then we got back a completely well-done dry piece of meat - prawns were gone (half empty restaurant on Friday evening?) - instead of a steak, one of us got a mixed grill. Followed by the rest of the table I wanted to wait, but because the food was already so lukewarm, that was not an option. We all took turns eating because of that. - wine was delicious but the empty bottle was not replaced, empty glasses were not taken away. - We had to ask for water twice - breadboard (empty) was not removed from the table. - no spoons with the fries (the tasty thick fries have been replaced by small bowls of thin salt-free fries), so place the fries on your plate with your hands. - garlic gravy with the tenderloin was really super salty and not real garlic gravy, it was gravy with some raw pressed garlic on top. - Requested gravy separately in a bowl, we were not served meat in the gravy. very friendly staff, it was all eventually resolved financially by the (understaffed?) staff. No coffee, paid and left. Sorry old branch, we won't be coming anymore.

Our first visit to this restaurant, and probably our last. The chicken was uncooked and the French fries were rock hard. Avoid food poisoning and eat elsewhere.

Celebrated my mother's birthday with a group. I ordered sweet spare ribs, they were well cooked but had no taste. If you eat this you should get dirty hands and a dirty mouth. The fries were so hard you couldn't get them on your fork. What a disappointment this was.

Jammer dat het keukenpersoneel zo onbeschoft is om pal naast een vol terras smerige sigaren te roken. Als je er iets van zegt, krijg je een antwoord waar de honden geen brood van lusten. We hebben snel de drankjes afgerekend en zijn maar ergens anders gaan eten.

We had a delicious meal at d'Ouwe Tak again tonight. A cozy restaurant with good quality food. Always a holiday feeling when we sit down. Portions are large and that is a big plus in our opinion. We come here regularly and will be your guests again soon. Thanks again! Edit March 2025 - unfortunately the Ouwe branch deteriorated after the takeover. Portions are smaller and prices higher. I also miss the old atmosphere. Unfortunately, it is no longer a go-to restaurant for us.

Had an excellent meal tonight at Café d'Ouwe Tak. Just old-fashioned good like the previous times I ate there. Casual atmosphere..nice to eat at your leisure at d'Ouwe Tak. Reservations are recommended these days.

Never again! Waited 45 minutes for appetizers that never arrived! The staff didn't say it wasn't coming anymore and was very unfriendly.

Unfortunately never again... I wanted to have something to eat but that was no longer possible due to the crowds. We were allowed to sit outside. We sat outside and the waitress told us that we could only order some snacks outside. No problem, we did this then. Then after 50 minutes we still had no snacks. We asked about this at the bar and were told “no, that won't work anymore because it is too busy”. Too bad they hadn't said this half an hour earlier. Waitress was also not nice or customer friendly. Very unfortunate.

Tja, laatste bezoek was vóór de overname. Nu na bijna een uur moesten we zelf om de kaart vragen... voorgerecht uiensoep een zielig pannetje met een bodem superzoute soep iets raws bovenop. na de helft niet verder gegeten. Na een lange tijd het hoofdgerecht op zich prima. presentatie fantasieloos. Dunne friet vork erin en het spatte uit elkaar. Je besteld friet geen chips. 4 personen 2 salades? Jammer dat het zo enorm is teruggevallen. Van top naar twijfelachtig.

What a nice thing this is! We often cycle past here in the summer and say to each other, 'We should have lunch here sometime'. It was now dinner. We had schnitzel, tuna, diamond tenderloin and ox hair tips with a not too strong red Malbec. The vanilla ice cream with hot chocolate (dame blanche) was the icing on the cake for me. Beautifully prepared and everything tasted great. The atmosphere is friendly and you immediately feel at ease. And last but not least, the employees are very friendly and cheerful. Cheers! :-)

Real old pub/diner. Including local visitors and super friendly service. Since 1961. Deliciously simple and good food. Recommended.

Slecht! prijskwaliteit droevig! Smakeloos, kleine portie’s Zeker niet meer voor herhaling! Duidelijk de liefde en de passsie die in het eten werd gestoken is verdwenen en ook zeker de kwaliteit van de producten. Begon al met het broodplankje waar is het smakelijke brood gebleven met de lekkere smeersels! Wij kwamen er regelmatig maar dit was de laatste keer!

Ate here for the second time in a short time, food was good. But the service/attention was no longer what we are used to in the past. Little attention for the guests, which is a shame.

A wonderful cafe where the atmosphere of an old brown cafe is really palpable. Management thinks along with everything. Food is always very good and generous! Had a nice atmospheric evening again

Nice cozy Cafe Restaurant. Excellent price quality.

Very cozy tent. Great atmosphere. Onion soup is great. We had to wait a long time before we could order, but I think this was a coincidence or a misunderstanding between the staff. What was negative is that we received 1 very small bowl of "salad" with 6 people. That was the only vegetable that came with it. They can still make a big step in that area. Furthermore, absolutely recommended.

Soak up the atmosphere of a brown pub, where you can also enjoy delicious food!

Very unfortunate. Have eaten at the Ouwe Tak for years with complete satisfaction. There has been a sharp decline since the takeover. For us it is about closing and shutting down.

Great restaurant. Lots of choice in meat (carpaccio in advance, 8 main courses of meat ranging from satay, tenderloin, specialty steak stroganoff) and coupe of farm boys (with ice cream from De Hoop). Also fish and vegetarian dishes. And 5 types of beer on tap (including Brugse Zot, Texels, Texels bok, etc.). In short, enjoy!

Old Tak is no longer what it used to be. Food less, was not warm. It says grilled tuna with stir-fried vegetables!! Well, that was barely 1 tablespoon of stir-fried vegetables. Steak strips straight into a bowl with drippings on the side. Nothing else, no vegetables. Too bad I always enjoyed going to the old Branch, but now that it is in new hands it was the last time.

Disappointing, it's not what it used to be.

Wauw wat is het duur geworden! Een broodje met boter € 7,50 belachelijk! Het eten was lang niet zo goed als voorheen en veel duurder. De porties waren veel kleiner, bijv 5 kleine stukjes ossenhaas, nog geen 100 gram. Jammer, toch wel een afknapper, wij gaan volgende keer naar een ander restaurant.

Helaas, kan beter worden omgedoopt naar de Ouwe Vrek. Minimale porties van mindere kwaliteit en een spectaculaire prijsverhoging. Kwamen hier altijd graag en vaak maar dat is helaas voorbij. Einde van een leuk tijdperk! Dit gaat de nieuwe eigenaar niet redden met dit beleid.

We first had a drink here on the terrace with my daughter and had a drink. Small terrace but cozy. Then to our reserved table inside. It is necessary to make a reservation because it seems to always be full here. I understand why. It is a typical old cafe with all the trimmings. You immediately feel at ease and the entire environment exudes coziness. Sufficient choice on the menu. Not haut cuisine, but that wouldn't fit here either. In addition, a number of choices next to the menu. We opted for the sirloin steak and fried liver with the accompanying grilled vegetables, salad and fried potatoes accompanied by a nice glass of wine. Even though all tables were occupied, the service was smooth and friendly. Grab a cup of coffee and happily settle down after a few pleasant hours. Excellent price/quality ratio. My daughter comes here often. You have to know because it is somewhat remote outside the center of Blaricum. A great place that I will definitely visit more often and that I can recommend to anyone who enjoys fun and good food and drinks.

Always pleasant and friendly, good food and drinks. We're going to miss you (off to Spain)

Wat slecht is dit geworden na de overname, slechts 4 tafels bezet, zeer matige kaart, friet is ook bittere armoede en ook nog een betalen voor een extra schaaltje. Houten borden is zeer onhygiënisch geen leuke opmaak etc. We komen 3-4 per jaar met een groep van 8-10 personen, vandaag was de laatste keer, niemand van groep vond het nog leuk. Jammer dat het management zich alleen richt op geld verdienen, dus geen lokale leveranciers meer allemaal groothandel spul, maar wel hoge prijzen

We are lucky to have such a delicious cafe right around the corner. You come away completely satisfied every time. Great food, very friendly hardworking staff. And the atmosphere is unique 👍🏻👍🏻 Update: It's starting to get very pricey lately. Since the takeover, Amsterdam prices have been charged and you can feel that in your stomach...

Always good and tasty food at café d'Ouwe Tak...!

Vanaf juni 2024 niet meer bij de Ouwe Tak gegeten. Kan me bij de andere beoordelingen aansluiten dat de kwaliteit prijs en portie verhouding zeer bedroevend is. De prijs is te hoog voor een eet café het zijn restaurant prijzen. At er samen met mijn man 2x in de week komen er nu niet meer. Personeel is gastvrij vooral Jacqueline lopen het vuur uit de sloffen. Jammer ouwe Tak

Always delicious!! Always fun!! Update September 2024... too bad we came there often... there is nothing left of it. The atmosphere is no longer there, empty tables, expensive, small portions and very dirty chicken nuggets for children 🤢

It's definitely an old branch Opening times are different than on the site

A pleasant dining experience and a welcoming ambiance.

Old and new 'Gooiers' come together at Café d'Ouwe Tak at Eemnesserweg 13 in Blaricum. Nice meal outside. Good service. Great card!

It's a shame that a cozy cafe where we have been regular customers for over 40 years has now been reduced to a commercial revenue model by the new owner. We understand that everything has become more expensive, but here both the menu and the prices have become a reflection of commerce and profiteering. May run well for a while, but ultimately will not do the new owner any good. Marc and Margreet van den Berg

Great little bar and restaurant with excellent service and food

Zwaar teleurgesteld. Altijd heel grote fan van d’ouwe tak maar na vanavond niet meer. Er was een nieuwe kaart, flinke prijsverhoging en slechts 2 Vega opties. De geitenkaas salade was waterig en had verder geen ingrediënten dus smakeloos. Daarbij de vleesgerechten op houten borden, staat leuk maar verre van hygiënisch. 1 kommetje friet voor 2 en 1 klein bakje salade. Ontzettend jammer want het personeel en met name bij ons de geliefde Jacqueline werken zo keihard en altijd vriendelijk en hartelijk. Vind het pijnlijk dat deze toptent na overname zo helemaal zijn glans verliest. Hoop dat ze tot inzicht komen want wij zijn voor nu daar echt uitgegeten.

Trouwe fan van De Oude Tak en bijbehorend personeel. Personeel nog steeds helemaal top maar prijs/kwaliteit zwaar achteruit gegaan na overname door nieuwe eigenaar. Voor vier personen kregen we één mini soepkommetje friet en één mini soepkommetje salade met één half gekookt eitje, terwijl op de kaart staat dat alle hoodgerechten vergezeld gaan met friet en salade. Biefstuk en ossehaasountjes werden in een bakje zonder garnering geserveerd, zodat het vechten werd om het kommetje salade. Volgens personeel onderdeel van ‘het beleid’. Daarnaast ondanks melding van noten allergie toch kletskop koekje met pinda in ijs gekregen, terwijl de (pas aangenomen) serveester bleef volhouden dat het geen noten/pinda’s bevatte. De ervaren serveerster was fantastisch maar de rest is helaas zwaar onder de maat.

Altijd een grote fan van de ouwe tak geweest. Onlangs weer eens met vriendinnen daar gegeten. Helaas niet de ouwe tak zoals we die kenden en waardeerden. Prijs flink gestegen en wat ik het liefste bestelde (biefstuk stroganoff en varkenshaas sateh) niet meer op de nieuwe menukaart. Een heel klein schaaltje friet voor 4 personen. Wil je meer dan betaal je voor nog zo een heel klein schaaltje 5,50 euro. Groente apart bijbestellen kost 6.50 per persoon. Serveersters zoals vanouds kundig, snel en vriendelijk. Eigenaar gemaild, na 2 weken geen enkele reactie. Voor ons geen volgende keer bij de ouwe tak, zo jammer!

Wij aten al jaren naar volle tevredenheid bij de Ouwe Tak. Sinds de overname is het restaurant erg achteruit gegaan Eerst denk je: ach ik verbeeld het mij maar ook door waarnemingen en reacties van kennissen, vrienden en van mijzelf moet ik concluderen dat het allemaal een stuk minder is geworden. Een aantal vrienden heeft de Oude Tak de rug toegekeerd en wensen er niet meer te eten. Ze vinden het te slecht. Allereerst wil ik zeggen dat het personeel zich het vuur uit die sloffen loopt en altijd zeer correct en vriendelijk is. Maar de kwaliteit van de gerechten is sterk achteruit gegaan. Ik weet dat er een wisseling van vleesleverancier is geweest en dat was om te janken. Nu is er een betere leverancier maar niet zo’n goede als voorheen. De schnitzel is nu ook niet meer wat het was en/of niet goed gebakken. De gebakken lever is van mindere, zeg maar gerust slechte kwaliteit en in hoeveelheid gehalveerd. Er wordt geen salade meer bij een gerecht geserveerd, na de salade werd het een rauwkost bol, toen werd het een rauwkostbolletje, ook weg en afhankelijk van het gerecht wisselt het of er nog een plukje groen bij zit. De Hollandse garnalencocktail is van de kaart maar bestelde we al langere tijd niet meer. Het bleek het overgrote deel avocado te zijn (getver) met wat garnaaltjes er boven op. Voor gebakken aardappeltjes moet nu 4,75 betaald worden en dat is op zich niet zo erg maar de hoeveelheid die men dan geserveerd krijgt stop je bij wijze van spreken in je holle kies. We waren een keer met vijf personen en bestelde gerechten waar friet bij geserveerd werd, er werd 1 bak(je) friet neergezet en we zaten de friet uit elkaars mond te kijken. Uiteraard hebben wij subtiel het e.e.a. aan het bediendend personeel laten merken, zij doen hun uiterste best maar zijn ook gebonden aan de opdrachten die ze mee krijgen. Los van het feit dat de grootte van sommige gerechten verminderd is, is het ook merkbaar welke kok er in de keuken staat. Een kok maakt of breekt je bedrijf. Wij weten ook dat je je klacht meteen moet melden maar als je op uitnodiging of met vrienden zit te eten wil je avond niet verpesten door je bord naar de keuken terug te sturen of op dat moment te gaan klagen. Bovenstaand bericht naar de OuweTak gestuurd met een teleurstellend antwoord. “Zij herkende het wisselende kwaliteitsniveau maar zijn een ander soort organisatie. Het zoals hun dat noemen “veel voor weinig” is niet voor hun van toepassing en gaan op korte termijn meer dingen veranderen zodat het voor de klanten duidelijk is dat zaken anders zijn geworden. “ Dus gezien hun reactie gaat de kwaliteit nog meer achteruit. En hebben wij het gehad met de Ouwe Tak. Heel jamner!!

it was very nice and the food was delicious.

Nice to have a drink there, but also to to eat. It was my birthday and I got an ice cream with a confetti horn in it.

Delicious food, nice atmosphere. Make a reservation.

We have been coming to the Oude Tak for at least 20 years, but yesterday 20/06/2024 we found the food a bit less. Iceberg lettuce goat cheese salad too finely chopped. Hardly any greens/salad with the satay We wondered if there might be another chef in the kitchen! Portions smaller and prices increased.Meat on wooden plate not hygienic. Shame

There were rumors that things had calmed down a bit after the takeover. However, we did not notice much of this ourselves. It was old-fashioned fun again and the food is still very good.

Very cozy and the food is really good

Met een gezelschap van 6 hier voor het eerst gegeten. Gezellig, ouderwets gezellig. Vriendelijke bediening. Niet geforceerd. Er werd oa gekozen voor slakken , courgettesoep met zalm en zuurkoolkroketjes ( erg lekker) vooraf en geitekaassalade, entrecote, spare ribs en kabeljouw als hoofdgerecht. Iedereen was tevreden. Persoonlijk zit ik hier meer op mijn gemak dan bij Moeke Spijkstra, maar dat is uiteraard persoonlijk. In ieder geval een prima ervaring

Ate here for the first time with a group of 6. Cozy, old-fashioned cozy. Friendly service. Not forced. The choice was snails, zucchini soup with salmon and sauerkraut croquettes (very tasty) as a starter and goat cheese salad, sirloin steak, spare ribs and cod as a main course. Everyone was satisfied. Personally, I am more comfortable here than with Moeke Spijkstra, but that is of course personal. In any case, an excellent experience
