De nieuwe Hommel in Wijk 00 Beek en Donk

The restaurant has a beautiful location on the canal. The outdoor terrace is very pleasant and green. The steak was delicious and came on the owner's recommendation. We enjoyed our lunch there; the staff was very friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for refined food and excellent service.

Great restaurant. Good service with friendly staff. The food was very tasty. Perhaps the menu could be a bit more extensive.

Delicious carpaccio and cod fillet! Cozy restaurant with comfortable seating. A bit on the expensive side, though.

We let the chef surprise us and opted for the four-course menu. The food was exquisite and exceptionally flavorful. I enjoyed every bite. The chef was also very friendly and took the time to explain what he had prepared while serving. I would definitely return.

We had the four-course surprise menu, which we thoroughly enjoyed, sitting outside under the grapes. At the table, the chef explained the menu; it was absolutely delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

It's a pity that there are sometimes so few people

What do you recommend about Restaurant De Nieuwe Hommel? I recommend everyone not to wait too long to have a bite to eat here. The appetizer, main course, and dessert were all delicious and beautifully and expertly presented. Hey, team at Restaurant De Nieuwe Hommel, thanks for the great service, and we'll definitely be back.

Delicious food, friendly and warm service. We were late due to circumstances, but they kept the restaurant open so we could still eat. That's what I call hospitality.

Friendly staff, hygienic 10/10, and super delicious food! Definitely recommended.

Highly recommended for lunch; they offer something different. Fresh ingredients. The chef makes everything himself. The staff is also super friendly.

Delicious food and drinks. Recommended!

Had a super tasty lunch on the terrace! Tastiest sandwich in a long time, everything fresh and of very good quality! Definitely recommended to eat here. We will definitely go back soon 😊

Today I went to eat with my two sisters and mother, and I can only say one thing: wow. Upon arrival, there was ample parking space. Inside, it was immediately noticeable how much attention had been paid to the aesthetics of the interior. Even before we had eaten anything, I felt spoiled. The furniture was in excellent condition and exuded not only luxury, but also cleanliness. The service (and the chef!) understand that people don't just come to eat - it's about the whole experience. And that was great! Warm plates, spacious tables, comfortable seats... everything had been thought of. The menu is easy to read and - certainly not unimportant - clear and concise. The prices we paid were also very normal, which made the experience even more pleasant. What also struck me was how well the service keeps an overview - in a positive way. You never have to wait long, but they are not pushy either. You have the feeling that everything goes automatically. It's great to see that such a young team understands so well that hospitality goes beyond just the plate of food. My compliments! Until next time!

Super tasty chicken salad eaten, and a very nice new owner. I will definitely recommend it!

Super tasty food and good service!

My sister and I have lunch here regularly and are always very satisfied. We are both vegetarian and choose a delicious fresh sandwich with top hummus and a large mountain of roasted vegetables with nuts and dates. The wine list is fantastic. The price/quality ratio is excellent. The service and the owner are very friendly and attentive. Chapeau!

The three of us had dinner. We had a delicious meal. The chef cooked really well. The food was great and great!! 👍 The atmosphere was good and the owner and the chef came by to chat. We would love to come back.

New owner since December '24. French, Italian, European cuisine.

New owner for a few months now and worth a visit.

Finally this super nice restaurant has found an owner who really makes something beautiful of it. Too bad the old reviews are now lowering the score... These people deserve a chance. Food, service and ambulance are comparable to the quality we used to know in the kastanjehof, raymart and gertrudahoeve. Try it!

Had a delicious meal in Beek en Donk.

Very tasty food, a real taste explosion of dishes! We took the 4-course surprise menu, very surprised and enjoyed the dinner.

Food was great, price, quality very good. Beautiful, well-kept, atmospheric business. Great service 👌 We were early for lunch so it wasn't busy, which was a shame (and on a Tuesday). Really recommended!! Good luck with the business 🍀 You'll see us again!

Today we ended our holiday with a lunch at Restaurant de Hommel. Delicious, cozy and friendly staff. We would love to come back. #worthwhile

Mother's Day 2025 enjoyed a 3-course surprise menu on the terrace with matching liqueur per course. Beautiful fish dishes with surprising flavor combinations. We will definitely come back here again.

We had been planning to visit this restaurant for a long time, especially since it has been under new ownership for several months. Very pleasantly surprised, not only by the delicious cuisine and how the dishes are served (they are just paintings, I was apparently so impressed by them that I forgot to take a photo 🤣), but certainly also by the personal attention of the owner himself. A very endearing personality who more than deserves it, we have already planned the next visit!

Very tasty food. Surprising and distinct taste. Staff very friendly. Prices of the individual dishes do indeed seem a bit high, but the menu is well priced. Unfortunately it was very quiet, this restaurant deserves more visitors!!

Curious about the new owner and what the food would be like. Nice welcome, friendly staff and good atmosphere. The food tasted very good and was prepared with love. We will definitely come back again!

I have never eaten such a delicious hummus sandwich! We will definitely come back here again for dinner.

What a surprisingly good restaurant. Food that is fresh and so delicious. Friendly and hospitable service and they were happy to accommodate a gluten-free order. Highly recommended!

Have a coke with cake on the terrace. Then I don't expect to spend 10.45 per piece of apple pie!!! (And a little bit too) Service only spoke English. Overall a bad experience

Update 2025: Things are very bad after the takeover. Prices for something tasty with coffee are ridiculous. Went on Saturday April 12, 2025 around 11:30 am. No one to be seen. Sat on the terrace for 10 minutes, no one comes to help. Went in, called 4 times. Called into the kitchen and knocked twice loudly and walked to the back and called there. Everything was open but there was no one to be seen. The next bankruptcy is on its way. 2019: Great restaurant. Very nice point near the canal on the edge of Beek en Donk. Lunch menu varies with good prices. Definitely recommended to visit. TIP: Great stopover if you are cycling.

It was early in the day, on our way to Limburg (weekend away) with the family and we were hungry so we thought we'd go to DE HOMMEL (we had been here years ago!! But I think it is a new owner because it was very attractive and tidy (not at the time:)) we were the only ones so we got our food quickly!! Friendly service, delicious food!! Definitely recommended!! Until next time, kind regards W van Dijk

Delicious food. Friendly service.

Very tasty food, the salmon and stuffed eggplant were both superb. Pannacotta for dessert is also great, but I ate too much😄

Delicious four-course menu. Surprisingly good. New owner since December. Definitely recommended for a nice meal. However, as a tip I would expand the menu a bit more. And definitely promote more in the area. To breathe new life into the business. Because once again the food was very top!!

We had a delicious meal here! The surprise menu is highly recommended. The ingredients come from our own kitchen. The staff is super friendly!

Recently taken over by new owner. Today was Valentine's Day. My partner and I opted for the 4-course surprise menu. What a wonderful experience. The food was 12/10 points. The chef comes to your table and explains what you are being served. You notice that the chef likes to experiment with food. The service was perfect, I recommend everyone to eat here. Keep it up, a great concept can arise here. In my opinion the price is on the low side for what you get. If I had had to pay 20 - 40 euros more, this would certainly not have been a problem. I can see another Michelin star coming here.

Friendly service and delicious food. Compliments to the chef!

The new bumblebee is much better than its predecessor. Only a few months in, but......great. An excellent chef, delicious dishes.....worth a next visit.

Wonderful lunch with two friends

Delicious dinner. Exquisite dishes. Recommended!

Delicious food, great service and friendliness are on the menu here 👍

Had a fantastic dinner. Forget the old owner and meet the new enthusiastic team. Valuable addition to the local catering industry. Feel free to give it a try.

We had a delicious meal, fresh, beautifully prepared, friendly service and good explanation about the food.

Delicious food, friendly service.

Delicious food, friendly people

Delicious dinner! Friendly customer-oriented service. Highly recommended! You'll come back here.

We had a delicious Surprise Menu here! Recommended!

Super tasty food! Very friendly service and a top chef. Thanks for the nice evening!

We had a delicious meal here tonight with our family. The children loved the spaghetti on the children's menu and the children's dessert, and the rest of the food was also very good. Delicious meat and perfectly cooked. Highly recommended to go, and we will definitely come back here.

Delicious food. Chef surprised us with a 3 course menu and we enjoyed it! Perfect combination of dishes, vegetables and delicious refined taste sensations.

Well, just visited the bumblebee. Ordered a cup of coffee and cappuccino. Coffee was not that strong, I asked if it could be a stronger cup. Great service, a new head. Highly recommended chicken with saffron sauce and something with avocado hom made, great flavors. Keep it up, we'll be back

What a surprise since the new owner has been in it for almost a month now. We had a delicious lunch there, ending with a delicious dessert. It is again highly recommended.

After an afternoon of shopping, we stopped at De Hommel. A beautiful, atmospheric restaurant with quiet background music, beautifully decorated for the time of year. The staff is incredibly friendly and hospitable. The menu has something for everyone; meat, fish, vegetarian and also a children's menu is available. There are also snacks and nachos on the menu, so this location is also suitable for a good drink. We had tomato soup, stuffed zucchini, vegan pasta and sea bass. Delicious dishes, tastefully served, also a feast for the eyes. The dishes were explained by the chef. The passion for catering is palpable. We had no room left for dessert. We wish Amir and his team every success.

Had a nice evening in a beautiful, atmospheric restaurant with delicious food and an introduction to the owner/chef. Definitely worth repeating!

An unforgettable experience at Restaurant De Hommel I recently visited Restaurant De Hommel, and I can say with certainty that it was one of the best culinary experiences ever. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcome. The staff exudes genuine friendliness and hospitality; they were not only polite, but also really interested in our wishes and experiences. And then the food… what a pleasure! Every dish was prepared with so much care and passion that you could taste it. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was a feast for the eyes. It was clear that high-quality ingredients and a lot of love are used here. Whether you come for a pleasant evening with friends or a special occasion, De Hommel is highly recommended. The warm welcome, the excellent cuisine and the pleasant atmosphere make it a place where I will definitely return. I recommend it to anyone looking for a place where eating becomes an experience. Restaurant De Hommel gets a big 10 from me!

Today we were wonderfully surprised by the 3-course surprise menu! Wow, what quality food plus good service, we will definitely come back here again.

Boxing Day dinner at De Hommel. We thought it was a great experience with the new owner / chef. The food was delicious and the service was very helpful and attentive. The atmosphere was very pleasant, partly due to the quiet music in the background. In short, a great asset for Laarbeek. We will also try lunch soon.

Yesterday we had lunch at the Honmel with a friend. We both had a carpaccio sandwich. Delicious lunch. Spoke to new owner and also chef. Very friendly and neat man who also wants to know if the customers are satisfied. Advised us to definitely come for dinner in the evening and be surprised. If we are ever looking for a restaurant for the evening, we will definitely go here again.

A week after the reopening. Was very good quality. Nice atmosphere and personal attention. We will definitely go back here

My girlfriend and I went to this restaurant for the first time. The atmosphere is peaceful and beautiful, and the food has excellent taste. We also had a warm conversation with the new owner of the restaurant, Mr. Amir.

Yesterday we had a delicious meal at the bumblebee. Quite coincidentally, a few days after the reopening. We received a friendly welcome and were given a nice central table. What immediately stood out was the quiet atmosphere and that the other guests were nicely distributed throughout the restaurant so that you were still sitting quite privately. We opted for the 4-course surprise menu and what a surprise that was. Beautiful explanations for each dish from the chef himself and he did this with the same passion as he cooks. As a starter, stuffed zucchini with rice and vegetarian minced meat. Then a chickpea soup. As a main course, fried sea bass with warm vegetables. Then a delicious dessert that I can only describe as heavenly. We ate things that we would never have chosen ourselves, but we enjoyed them. It may seem a bit over-enthusiastic as I describe it, but this is also how we experienced it. Normally I rarely give 5 stars for everything, but if it had been possible to give more stars I would have done so. Thank you Amir and his team for this great experience, good luck and keep it up.

Delicious dinner tonight. (53rd wedding anniversary) Renewed acquaintance with the Hommel. New owner and new menu. Very friendly welcome in a cozy environment. Definitely worth repeating. We would love to come back.

Delicious lunch in a delicious spicy chicken sandwich, very friendly service by chef and new owner Amir. In short: highly recommended.

No communication through reservations. Emailed 4 times, got nothing back. Booking then cancelled

We did the social deal, Price-quality definitely recommended Nice staff good wine All in all, definitely worth it for a fun evening👍🏼

Nice tent to look at, otherwise not great. Food is mediocre, service is slow.

Taken the 4-course menu. Everything was very tasty, chicken and spareribs super tender.

Went with my family, very good service and delicious food!! Nice environment.

Very nice restaurant, had a nice meal there yesterday evening with family. Such a beautiful place, such beautiful surroundings. Nice staff. Eect great. Had a BBQ

Delicious food at De Nieuwe Hommel! I recently had the pleasure of dining at De Nieuwe Hommel and it was a very positive experience. The main course, a large piece of spare ribs, was excellently prepared. The spareribs were wonderfully tender, well seasoned and the portion was generous, making it a real feast. For dessert I chose the Mix Hommel, an assortment of different cakes. Each cake was a taste sensation in itself and the variety made the dessert particularly attractive. It was clear that a lot of care and attention had gone into the preparation of the desserts. The atmosphere in the restaurant was pleasant and the service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The ambiance was cozy and contributed to a pleasant dining experience. All in all, De Nieuwe Hommel offers a tasty and enjoyable experience. It's an excellent choice for dinner and I can definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal in a pleasant setting.

Ended up here unexpectedly from the campsite. Very warm welcome by enthusiastic employee. Good explanation about Persian cuisine and very tasty food. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately, our visit to this restaurant did not meet expectations. The carpaccio looked brownish and had a somewhat old taste, which was not particularly appealing. The steak, ragout, salmon and scampi were more reminiscent of supermarket products than freshly prepared dishes; It was also very disappointing in terms of taste. The price-quality ratio was far off. As for the service, it was neutral, but the atmosphere was completely lacking. Half of the restaurant was dark, and without background music we could literally hear the conversations of the other two tables, which didn't improve the overall experience. After paying, I saw "barbershop" on my statements, very strange since the company is a restaurant called "De Nieuwe Hommel". Thank you for your response, but we are not from Social Deals. We came to have a nice dinner. Strange that you suddenly start talking about that?

Excellent walking package. Afterwards we had a delicious satay with fries.

Booked via Social Deal and the price-quality ratio was good. We were both very pleased with the soup, it was delicious! The dessert also surprised us, it was tasty and beautifully prepared. To be honest, the main course was not quite restaurant quality (carpaccio sandwich and chicken satay), but it fit perfectly within the price-quality ratio! In addition, the service was friendly and we had a wonderful time sitting outside!

The atmosphere, we were the only ones in the restaurant, but it was also early in the afternoon

nice cappuccino and nice atmosphere

The food was tasty. Only for the chef's surprise of 15 euros I expect more than a grilled chicken roll.

Went for dinner today with the 3 of us. We had the 4 course menu and it was more than enough. Food looked and tasted good. It was quiet, but that made it all go very quickly. As soon as we finished a hallway, the plates were removed and within a short time the next one arrived. The gentleman who helped us was also friendly. This was our first time but we will definitely come back again.

Never again!! We've gone from a good restaurant to something like this. Went in mid-June after Father's Day The host did not invite and was standing in the restaurant with dirty, worn-out sneakers/shoes. We were able to enjoy it by making calls on the loudspeaker or watching videos behind the bar. The lunch was very bad, to start with the vegetable soup was really hard to eat, the schnitzel couldn't have been worse, it wasn't completely fried in the frying fat, so the fries, which had become tough, were reasonable but not great. €18 paid via Social deal was way too much. I found out that they had an offer for lunch for €17.95, so I immediately felt ripped off They were allowed to keep the dessert, so I didn't even start!! Received it from my son and daughter for Father's Day, but I took them to the city room the next day and did it again. By the way, the city room is highly recommended!!

Apart from the Christmas music (it is now mid-March), cozy, hospitable, delicious soup and ditto sandwich.

Delicious lunch, very friendly staff and a lovely place to sit. Highly recommended

Cycle far around! Price above average, quality well below average. After taking 2 bites, we are not fussy eaters, we stopped. This was too bad for words. We paid promptly and told the waiter what we thought. He offered us a free dessert, but we kindly declined.

Beautiful location, sit outside under the veranda covered with grape bushes. Delicious Persian food, friendly staff. Until next time!

Excellent food and good wine. Spare ribs were excellent. We received ice water with the wine as a courtesy Enjoyed eating outside in the shade. Owner was very friendly. We were allowed to choose coffee for dessert Instead of the dessert on the menu. Unfortunately they didn't have decaf coffee. The 4-course dinner is definitely recommended.

Mediocre, the staff did not look very neat, after serving they went outside to smoke and remove the greenery from between the tiles. So smoke even after serving.

The food was top notch and very good service, very neat and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Nice restaurant, nice location to eat. Beautiful terrace with a nice and cozy atmosphere, definitely recommended! I was here with my family, there was also very good service and the staff was very friendly. Everyone was satisfied and the meat was very good! I will definitely come back here, definitely recommended!

I had a delicious meal here, and it is also a beautiful location. Good staff and a good atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Really nice place, delicious food and a nice seat. Nice terrace too, will definitely come back here

Really nice restaurant Top place to eat with family Especially mixed grill and Persian food

Good food, good atmosphere, great service!! We will definitely come back

We knocked at 12:00. The door was still closed, but it was open from 10:00. Staff came to open it quickly so we could take a seat. Unfortunately no latte machiato on the menu. And the coffee could only be paid for in exact form (no change). The cheeseburger looked good. The tuna salad was a bit meager and the bouncer was dripping green with grease. The mushrooms didn't look too appetizing either (canned) The cutlery was also in strange bags that were closed with tape. All this detracted a bit from the experience as with the previous owner. Unfortunately no more repeats for us.

Definitely recommended, beautiful view, tasty food, people full of passion and respect. again definitely recommended

Received 4 dishes within an hour. Not a restaurant for extensive and pleasant dining. That used to be different!

It was a delicious meal, the beautiful people who work here, highly recommended

I've been there a few times, pretty friendly staff and good food

Very nice restaurant, beautiful terrace. Really tasty food, we will definitely come back.

Had lunch here with social deal. Delicious food. Even due to private circumstances, the date can be moved. Friendly staff. Would go back there again.
