De Roskam in Houten Noord-West

Cozy, tasty menu with a good chef.

Delicious lunch on a charming terrace

We come here often for lunch. Cozy terrace with sun and shady spots.

Delicious food, good atmosphere and great service

We visited this restaurant one evening with a group of friends and had a great time. The food, drinks, and atmosphere were all enjoyable. We paid the bill and even left a tip. The next morning, while splitting the bill, we noticed that we had been charged for two drinks that we never ordered. I went back to the restaurant, and they refunded the money without any issues. However, no one apologized for the mistake, which was disappointing. Overall, it's a nice place with good food and a pleasant atmosphere, but I recommend checking your bill carefully before paying.

We've been to De Roskam a few times and it has always been a solid choice. The food is good, the staff is friendly, and the terrace is a nice place to sit when the weather is good. The atmosphere is relaxed and it's an easy spot for lunch or dinner. It seems to be a popular place in Houten, which matches our experience as well. Nothing overly fancy, but if we're looking for a nice place nearby, De Roskam is definitely one of the places we consider.

Dining with a group of 16 people (of whom) 8 were children during the World Cup. The food was delicious, and they helped decide on the children's menu choices. Afterwards, we watched the World Cup match. The children were given a spot in front of the screen. A very pleasant dining experience!

It is a shame that they are completely unprepared during the Loop door Houten and only have two people working in service, causing you to wait almost an hour for your order. And this while they themselves are part of the event.

The soup was cold; they really should come to the table a second time to ask if everything is to our liking. Otherwise fine.

Had a delicious meal and friendly staff

Cozy place to drink coffee in the morning

Found the service a bit slow. But otherwise fine.

Had a lovely lunch with the family and a gift for the mothers!

Excellent! Young and efficient staff, the mix could be more 50/50, but otherwise an excellent spot!

We had lunch today. We weren't very happy with the price-quality ratio. The brie sandwich wasn't much to write home about, the carpaccio was okay. It's a nice place to sit, but the staff weren't attentive. We weren't very enthusiastic and thought that was quite a shame for 60 euros.

We had a really delicious meal and the coffee was good too. Very friendly staff who were also proactive in thinking along regarding the sometimes complicated vegan requests. Highly recommended!

We were a group of 12 and had reserved De Opkamer well in advance. Unfortunately, we were seated elsewhere, but this did not affect our evening. The food was certainly good and tasty, and the atmosphere was great too—which is something you create yourself, after all. The service was good and friendly. Definitely worth repeating.

The staff reacted very poorly when I got an unknown object/piece of food stuck in my throat. I threw up outside and then decided to leave. The waitress asked if I wanted to take the food with me, not how I was doing. Absolutely no attention. A very bad experience because of this. I will never come back!

Google Maps says it is open until 1:00 AM every day. You arrive after 9:00 PM for a drink (Sunday) and are told that the last round has already been served. You should set your closing time differently then! Because you are making guests come for nothing, it is absurd..

Great location!!! Best restaurant in Houten! Friendly staff Michelin star worthy

We had a lovely meal outside. It was delicious.

Great atmosphere, lots of tasty beers on tap, and a nice menu. Not too big, and something for everyone. High-quality food.

A lovely terrace with a nice view of the square; there's always something to see there, and you can spend the whole afternoon enjoying the sunshine. The staff is friendly and efficient. The facilities are excellent, and the restrooms are bright, fresh, and clean. The restaurant menu isn't particularly extensive or special. The quality of the dishes isn't particularly outstanding either. The guinea fowl wasn't quite cooked through. The hamburger was a bit average. And the supposedly cute little frying baskets the fries are served in are a trend that's thankfully fading but still holds true here. It's such a shame that the fries get cold so quickly this way.

We've been to this restaurant twice now. The food is delicious, and I really appreciate that they always have vegan options on the menu. That's really hard to find in Houten! The menu varied each time, and both times we were able to order a complete vegan meal, from appetizer to main course and dessert. They also have an English menu, which was helpful for my international guests both times. The price is great, the atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is friendly. I recommend it and will definitely go again.

Professional restaurant Delicious food Delicious wine And excellent service Excellent!

Nice tent in an otherwise rather colorless environment.

A beautifully situated restaurant with an excellent menu. Combined with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this establishment is definitely worth a visit.

In the charming old village of Houten. A lovely, modern atmosphere. Delicious lunch dishes. A lovely terrace in the summer.

A pleasant get-together, and the service was excellent. It was a bit chaotic. Some guests were served faster than others. But it's definitely a place I'll return to.

Kitchen closed too early, so we couldn't order a main dish at 8:50.

We were in a small room for a gathering following a funeral. It was fine. It was a lovely, cozy restaurant.

Excellent and atmospheric restaurant! Very nice personal service and delicious food.

Good food, friendly staff and nice location

For years, De Roskam has been the iconic establishment of Houten's historic Old Village. I've been coming here with family since I was young. The most important member, no longer with us, loved coming here for the croquettes. Today, we're happy to keep that tradition alive. The croquettes here are unlike any other.

Cozy place to enjoy a cup of coffee and/or other refreshments and have a chat

A great place to celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary with my wife. Good concept. It's a shame you have to book all three courses in advance. I would have preferred a different dessert; it turned out to be of poorer quality.

A beautiful and delicious classic restaurant. Great for groups or drinks.

There was a pleasant atmosphere

A wonderful dinner with a few colleagues. It wasn't busy when we arrived, but by the time we left, the place was packed. Despite the crowds, the service was, in a word, EXCELLENT. We had a delicious meal, everyone had something different, and everyone was very pleased. We'll definitely be back!

Delicious food, fast and friendly service.

5/5 food, service and atmosphere. Ubelieveable experience. The staff are personable, attentative and create a relaxed atmosphere. The food was amazing!!!!! And again the Service was unbelieveable!!!!! If you visit houten head along. You wont be disappointed!!

Upon entering: "Welcome, thank you." You rarely hear that. The food is good, the service is excellent. The new employee still needs to learn. She's gaining trust, but experienced staff keep an eye on her, assist where needed, and provide explanations. When things get a bit quieter for the service, they stand at the bar, facing the guests. They keep an eye on everything. You rarely see that. In short, a pleasant surprise.

I had a fantastic experience. I can't eat gluten. And they even accommodated that, even with the coffee. I got a chocolate instead of a cookie, for example. Besides that, everything was delicious, and the service was fantastic!

Had a delicious and enjoyable lunch with friends. Cozy atmosphere and friendly service.

The food was great again and it was very pleasant at Roskam. The service was perfect again. See you in a few weeks.

Fantastic food, friendly service. A bit different (quieter) music would have been nice, instead of a beat.

Friendly staff, delicious food, lovely ambiance. My only criticism is the space in the restaurant upstairs/left. It's quite small and overcrowded, making it very noisy and a bit stuffy (both literally and figuratively). The rest of the space is more spacious. Definitely recommended for a cup of coffee or tea, a delicious lunch, or dinner in a pleasant atmosphere!

A nice cozy restaurant with friendly service.

A review is inherently subjective, but I didn't find the food at De Roskam spectacular. It was OK, but certainly nothing more, and therefore not worth the money. The service was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself is cozy, but the acoustics aren't great. As far as I'm concerned, there are better options in the area. Sorry, but this is my personal experience.

We had a wonderful meal at De Roskam. It was a great idea to provide the complete menu selection in advance, so you don't have to delve into the menu again after your main course. The service was fast, and it was also nice that they suggested we wait a bit between the main course and dessert. Generous portions, beautifully presented, and incredibly tasty! It was a very convenient location for our group in the middle of the country, and we'll definitely be eating there again!

Delicious food, friendly staff and a very pleasant atmosphere.

We had a wonderful meal on the sunny terrace. The service was excellent.

Enjoyed lunch at De Roskam for the first time. The service was excellent, absolutely perfect. We had five different dishes, and each one was delicious and the perfect portion size. We'll be back.

Had a fantastic evening at Roskam! Highly recommended.

A well-known restaurant and meeting place for years. I come here regularly. Great menu. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices.

Had coffee before the regional market started in the square. I had to change the wet chairs myself, which was met with annoyance. As a good entrepreneur, you make sure all the tables and chairs are dry after a night of rain and don't scold customers for changing their chairs.

We had a delicious meal, good wine, and it paired well with the dishes. It's a shame the menus themselves looked dirty and the fan in our corner was making quite a racket. When we mentioned the fan, they offered us a different seat in the restaurant.

A cozy restaurant with very friendly staff. We had delicious food. We enjoyed a lovely after-dinner chat. We had to call because we were arriving a bit late, but it wasn't a problem! Personally, I found it a bit too noisy; I could barely hear the staff. We will definitely be back.

Delicious food and great service. Highly recommended!

Enjoy a lovely lunch outside in the sun on Sunday with oysters and a glass of cava as a bonus

Long time staple on the old village in Houten.

Friendly service. Attentive without being pushy. The food was excellent. It would be nice if there were more vegetarian options so there was more choice.

Ik heb hier met mijn gezin geluncht., alles was prima op orde: - personeel vriendelijk, oplettend en behulpzaam; - prettige sfeer; - alles was schoon (incl. toiletten); - muziek werd netjes zacht gezet in de hoek waar wij gingen eten; - het eten was vers en smakelijk; - helaas geen dessert bij lunch, maar wel koffie, die was goed en gebak was vers

Cozy place with a lovely terrace. Had a delicious lunch, great beers, and friendly service!

Had lunch at Roskam. Pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Attentive and polite service. Both the salad on one side and the sandwich on the other were delicious and looked beautiful.

Nice place on the square. Good food and professional staff.

Very nice location, clearly just started. Good decor and service.

Friendly service. The food was mediocre. The price-quality ratio wasn't good. Way too much money for a plate of mostly salad.

The food was excellent, delicious. The atmosphere was good, and the service was also good. I do think it's a bit pricey, though.

Top spot on the beautiful old square!

De Roskam is my favorite restaurant in Houten.

Had a lovely lunch, very cozy terrace and friendly staff

Carpaccio test. De Roskam scored highly with the spelt carpaccio sandwich and the carpaccio salad. Enjoy the sunshine on the terrace!

Had a fantastic meal here for the second time. The yellow beet carpaccio was the absolute highlight of the evening ❤️

Delicious food and very hospitable welcome and service!!

Dropped in here for some coffee while out for a walk.

Pretty ok food. The staff was not in a good mood. Not rude but very short and lacking service thinking which contributed to a slightly worse experience than perhaps others have.

Enjoyed a drink on a busy terrace, where the service was no problem.

Great food, good service and cozy atmosphere. See you soon! :)

Been living in Houten for years but now for the first time at the Roskam. Cozy terrace, friendly and sufficient staff. All 3 of us had a delicious lunch. Will try the dinner soon

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. Although the service was fast, the table was set in a sloppy way. After 45 minutes someone came to tell me that the table I was sitting at was reserved, which felt very unprofessional. As if the other guest was more important than me. When I pointed this out, the waiter laughed in an inappropriate way. Eventually I moved to another table but the person who had reserved didn't even show up. The service was bad there was nothing special about the atmosphere or the food. I will definitely not be coming back here.

Very cozy and delicious food and drinks

Cozy restaurant in the middle of the old village of Houten.

Nice lunch spot with delicious food. We enjoyed the noodle soup (my favorite!), cheese croquettes, farmer's omelette and tosti Italiano - everything tasted great. The service was friendly, neat and proactive. Thanks for the good care, it made our day out complete!

I once gave five stars for the food and five stars for the atmosphere, but... four stars for the service, because during that period someone was employed who, in my opinion, was not very customer friendly. Now that this lady no longer works here, the service also gets a big five stars. What a fantastic and friendly service we (a group of 11 people) received last Friday. In addition, a lot of attention was paid to the dishes. Really beautifully presented and completely in keeping with the group size and the atmosphere, and also really tasty. And that automatically brings us to the last assessment 'atmosphere': well, we were initially responsible for that ourselves and we managed quite well, but they happily joined in. In conclusion: Bennie - and of course all the other employees - thank you very much for this very well-organized evening and it's great that we could still get a table outside with that beautiful weather. Greetings Remko

Delicious snacks at the drinks evening. Many different types of beer from the tap, among other things. The service is very alert and friendly. Had lunch before and it was also really TOP. Nice location and beautiful place. A big thumbs up for the Roskam!!!!

We had to wait 35 minutes for 3 sandwiches. Basket of fries did not get through to the kitchen, but did get through to the service. Recovery attempt for the fries took 14 minutes and was offered without mayo. When we asked for the mayo we got a cup for half a person instead of for 3 people. We usually have better experiences at the Roskam.

It was another wonderful evening at the Roskam. Delicious food on a nice terrace with smooth, service-oriented service. Simply 🔝

Nice place and good food. Nice that they also have a vegan option (in every menu category) and that the main course is also a nice dish, not standard. What I do find really bad is that water is offered by an employee and later you have to pay € 7.75 for 0.7 liters of Chaudfontaine. Downright bizarre! Does the profit really have to be made on water? When you go somewhere to eat and you order a glass of wine and a beer, it is only normal that you get free tap water without having to ask. Unless you order 'still water' yourself of course. Too bad this....

Cozy restaurant in the beautiful center of Houten.

Nice to sit in the beer section

Had a great meal despite the crowds on the square due to the Pentecost festival. The service was still friendly despite the crowds and everything went smoothly. We will definitely come here again.

The quality is good. But you get too little for too much money. For example, you get the sea bass the size of a ladyfinger. They can fill 8 plates (€ 23.95 each) with 1 sea bass. In other words, clearly too expensive for what you get. Very friendly staff and good quality.

With a group of 7 pensioners we were well received and looked after by service-oriented staff. Nice choice of high-quality dishes in a 3-course menu for a very reasonable price these days. They even managed to serve the closing coffee as requested at the same time as the (very nice) dessert, which is almost impossible (just try it). In short, completely fine and highly recommended!

It remains a wonderful place to dine. With a little imagination you can imagine yourself in France. The kitchen is fantastic and the staff is very friendly and attentive

Lovely terrace, tasty lunch and good and friendly service. Great place for lunch in the afternoon.

Cozy place, nice terrace. Service very fast. We felt like we had to leave quickly so that our table was free again. We had a carpaccio with lots of lettuce. Nice that they could serve the dressing separately. Staff very friendly.

Fantastic restaurant, nice location, nice atmospheric center.

We were late and therefore in a bit of a hurry. Luckily we were helped very quickly and the food was delicious. It was extra nice that we could safely store our 6 racing bikes at the back of the hall.

Cozy terrace and very extensive lunch menu with delicious dishes
