De Smaeckkamer in Vondelkwartier

It was a disastrous experience. The food, the atmosphere, and the service were all extremely disappointing. I don't understand why.

The food is very bad and the service is terrible. Unfortunately, we do not recommend it.

Dinner at this restaurant was perfect from start to finish. The welcome was warm and professional, and the decor exuded class without being aloof. The menu offered a wonderful selection of dishes, each fresh and creatively composed. I chose a vegetarian dish that was so well prepared that even meat lovers would be impressed. The service was professional and knowledgeable about the ingredients and preparations. The wines paired perfectly with each dish and completed the evening. The atmosphere was calm and stylish, ideal for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. The desserts were surprising and delightfully light. Everything about this experience demonstrated craftsmanship and a passion for gastronomy.

Well, nice place, good service, but the food was very mediocre. On our first attempt, we were given cold fish that had been sitting on the bar under the lamp for 10 minutes. We promptly received a new one, which was okay. My Black Angus burger was really tough and dry. A thick lump of meat that was gray on the inside, that's all I can say. We won't be back.

Delicious high tea, compliments 👌🏻

We didn't find the service we're used to. Speed, etc. The €30 snack platter was a real disgrace. A meager platter. The child had a good time, though.

We were there with work and found it a bit cold in the room. Not surprising in an old building, it was nice for a while, and the service was polite and helpful. I think I expected a bit more in terms of value for money, but it's hard to explain why. The seating was great, the food was delicious... but not that wow feeling or anything...

Very nice and beautiful shop with a delicious menu and very child-friendly

We had a great meal and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. A must for anyone who wants to enjoy peace and quiet.

Very nice and very child-friendly (which was a requirement for me). We forgot our sunglasses, and the waitress even came running after us to give them back. The service and food are excellent, and the location is beautiful.

No restaurant? But a beautiful dining area.

It's located in a beautiful castle in a park. There's outdoor seating on the park side. Good coffee and friendly staff.

We had a wonderful meal last night! Any suggestions? The price could be a bit lower for certain dishes. The price-quality ratio could be a bit better sometimes. That's all! Friendly service too! Keep up the good work! We'll definitely be back! Xxx

Nice location, good service and flexible

It was definitely worth it, I will definitely come here more often

Really nice place and super good service, even in peak season! €7 for a non-alcoholic craft beer is a bit pricey in my opinion.

We had a wonderful afternoon with the family! Everyone enjoyed it!

For group 8 camp we needed fries to pick up. When I called there was a moment of silence because this is of course not a snack bar. But they immediately thought along! We were helped very friendly and the home-made FRIES (because it is not a snack bar) were delicious!

Great food on a cozy terrace right on the canal. Attentive and friendly staff. Fair prices. Lunch, dinner, or just for a drink.

For our four-year anniversary, we chose to have dinner at De Smaeckkamer, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. From the moment we entered, it was clear that this restaurant values ​​hospitality, refinement and culinary perfection. We chose the chef’s surprise menu option, which took us on a carefully constructed taste journey. The starter, consisting of three refined snacks, was particularly impressive. Each component had a distinct but balanced taste, with the perfectly matching wines taking it to an even higher level. The ambiance is excellent: quiet, stylish and with attention to detail. What was particularly striking was that all etiquette was maintained down to the last detail, without it feeling impersonal. On the contrary, the service deserves a special mention – professional, attentive and with genuine involvement. There was also special attention for our occasion, which made the dinner even more personal and memorable. *De Smaeckkamer* impressively combines fine dining with warmth and hospitality. An absolute must for anyone looking for a refined culinary experience. Reserved under the name: van Eekelen.

For two years now there have been nettles in the playground.. the children's legs were completely covered in it.. I have already touched this several times, but no one has responded.. the gardener was supposed to remove it.. unfortunately nothing has been removed yet.. nettles at the tunnel by the slide and the house.. the owner probably doesn't have children himself.. had crying toddlers all morning.. and thanks again!

Spontaneous lunch with my parents, was fun...but also super tasty and a lot. My father and I had a club sandwich, we enjoyed it.

As a wedding photographer from Haarlem I visit many locations, especially in North Holland. Carline and Arjen will get married on May 30, 2025 in the large garden of the Smaeckkamer in Beverwijk. Everything was excellently arranged by a top location in North Holland. Extra compliments for the kitchen and the service. They were fast, very friendly (unfortunately I sometimes experience it differently), helpful and professional.

Along the GR5 and we had AI search for fries. We came out here and felt guilty but ate a delicious bowl of fries and also an ice cream.

When the weather is nice, you can sit on the terrace...

There was only 1 vegetarian option for lunch on the menu (or an 'uitsmijter', but I can make that at home too). Very meat-oriented unfortunately. 'Choice' was quickly made and this vegetarian tasting was really delicious, especially the soup. A nice full and tasty plate of food.

Dessert didn't taste like anything.

You just have to try it once. Cozy appearance, nice atmosphere and good food

Always nice to be here. The service is top notch, the location is beautiful and the food is really tasty and good. All in all, it remains a pleasure to have lunch, drinks and dinner here! We have been coming here for a while and despite staff rotation (which is usual of course) they are all friendly and a perfect fit for this child-friendly restaurant (we have also really seen Kian grow! 😊👌🏽) As a note for parents: The Smaeckkamer is not a childcare center, you must always keep an eye on your child and correct them if they are in a public place. Especially because there are also staff working hard. - toilets upstairs via the stairs and neatly separated for men/women - disabled people are allowed downstairs - not a big PP, but always doable and not paid. You can also park in the area - also very fun to throw/attend a party. - quality/quantity is neat. All in all, we really enjoy coming here. We hope to see you again soon!

Great restaurant. Pancakes for the kids are great. Were a bit small for our children, really child size. Pasta bolognese tasty, ravioli a bit salty but very tasty and halibut also tasty. Good fries. It was nice that we had a table with a view of the playground. Food came pretty quickly

Excellent dishes for a good price, nice terrace location

Nice to sit, especially with kids

Hier geweest voor een kaasfondue. Was lekker. Veel keuze aan dips met frietjes erbij. Bediening was aardig en snel. Ik zou persoonlijk wel meer brood erbij doen.

We had a lovely lunch here on the terrace. Nice view of the park. The food was very tasty and not too expensive.

What a cozy and atmospheric place! We had a delicious meal here with a group of 13 (!). Great service and, above all, delicious food! The preliminary tasting is recommended (see photo). As a main course (unfortunately forgot to take a photo) I had the Halibut; a nice soft white fish with forest mushroom ravioli😋😋

Cheese fondue at the Smaeckkamer! What a beautiful place to eat. Cheese fondue is only delicious in winter! Variation for dipping could be a little more extensive in my experience. It was fine otherwise. The cheese fondue itself was really great! Nice staff! All in all a very successful evening. And be sure to go to the toilet upstairs... you can admire the building a bit...

Fantastic place. Nice people, lovely food. We always enjoy our experience here.

Atmospheric place where you can also sit outside. The lunch made in the open kitchen was excellent. Nice staff.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch....beautiful accommodation, beautiful weather, cozy terrace, good and friendly service

nice service. Burger was great.

Leuke omgeving. Mooi pand. Tafels erg breed. Veel ruimte voor servies, maar het betekent ook dat je snel op afstand van elkaar zit. Voor mij niet fijn qua geluid en verstaanbaarheid. Kaart is ergens vreemd. Moeilijk kiezen. Heilbot was goed bereid en toch was combinatie met ravioli met righty’s ( dacht ik…), paddenstoelen met amandelen niet de combinatie. Voorgerecht de “plank met hapjes van de chef” werd door ons allen met een onvoldoende beoordeeld. Vreemde smaken en fors aan de prijs. Helaas. Hopelijk een andere keer beter.

Nice restaurant in a beautiful place. Nice staff and tasty food. Great for children too, there are coloring pages and lots of toys inside. Outside there is a beautiful play area with various play equipment.

Delicious cappuccino with tasty apple pie.

Aangeschoven met het gezin voor de lunch op zondag middag. Was gezellig druk en er heerste een prettige sfeer. Lunch menu prima en heerlijk gegeten en vriendelijk en snelle bediening. Enige minpuntje was dat wij in een kamer zaten met een peuter speelhoek met dus spelende kleuters en peuters. Volgende keer kies ik wel voor een andere plek in het restaurant zonder de spelende kinderen. Wellicht een puntje voor het management.😉

The food is unworthy of De Smackkamer. Dealing with the problems ,not .

Enjoy eating, drinking and sitting without any worries. Lovingly cared for by the enthusiastic service, what passed from the kitchen looked tip-top. In short, keep it up and hopefully see you soon!

Very nice and informal. But very good quality. Had a nice evening.

Awesome place. Beautiful old building. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere

I'll start with why it's not 5 stars. Because the venison steak is really incredibly tasty. But pricey for the small piece you get. Furthermore... I think it's a really great place to enjoy a delicious meal with children! Super exciting playground with a lot to discover. There are also plenty of games and colors available inside! You really feel welcome with children! And the dog is also welcome! Beautiful building, friendly service and delicious (but pricey) food. We will definitely come back here again!

Very cozy place with very nice staff. So far we have only had lunch there and had coffee and cake and that was fine. Would love to come there.

Nice location to celebrate a party. Nice atmosphere with staff where nothing is too much trouble. Plus when the weather is nice, you can sit in the backyard.

Had a nice meal today. Had a delicious Angus burger.

Nice place to be, children can play in the playground, and you can supervise the terrace yourself. Food is good and the service friendly

Cozy restaurant in a beautiful location on the edge of Beverwijk.

Delicious breakfast! Very nice service! Always happy again!

Nice restaurant with good service, very child-friendly. My wife's salmon salad was fine, my hamburger clearly spoiled, smelly. Brought back to the kitchen, didn't want to get sick. No response from the chef, had the waiter apologize. Scandalous behavior of a chef/kitchen staff!

Lovely restaurant with great outdoor space. We went back again for apple pie as it was so good 😁

Delicious food, nice menu, nice service

Top location, super service, friendly, can't say anything other than a big 10

Nice Place, everyone is gentle and everything we eat were very good! Bravi!

Heerlik! Quick service. Friendly.

08/16/24 This day we had a wedding ceremony and party, arranged by Smaeckkamer, we had a fantastic day, a bit chaotic, but the service was very friendly and helpful, Thank you for this beautiful unique day, greetings Welting-Koning family

Beautiful atmospheric space in a historic building. Also plenty of outdoor space. Tasty High tea served by friendly service. Please indicate in advance that this concerns a high tea when booking. 1 minus; In my opinion, the truffles had no real cream filling, it seemed more like fondant. Too bad because real cream truffles are like an 'angel on your tongue' (old-fashioned expression). Who still knows? 'It's like an angel peeing on your tongue'.

Children can enjoy playing in a nice, beautiful playground. Service is not that fast, but very friendly. Food is delicious.

Nice enclosed playground for the little ones, fast and friendly service!

A delicious lunch on a sunny Saturday; flatbread with smoked salmon and the tasting with a soup, shrimp croquette sandwich and a smoked salmon sandwich. Flatbread was very generously topped with salad and smoked salmon, roasted broad beans as a garnish, very tasty! Delicious elderflower lemonade. Cozy spot on the terrace near the playground, it was a nice afternoon!

Enjoyed a delicious lunch in a cozy environment. Friendly staff.

Heel slecht eten. Ik had zijlende biefstuk besteld maat het was taai! Mijn broer had een angus burger en die was tegen bedorven aan. We moesten ook lang wachten terwijl et bijna geen klanten waren. Vorig jaar was ik met m'n moeder voor koffie met appelgebak en deze was rauw. Na een klacht bij de ober kwam hij terug met het verhaal dat de appeltaart 70 min in de oven had gestaan. Ik wees hem op de diverse tafeltjes waar iedereen z'n appeltaart had laten staan maar verder werd er niets mee gedaan. Nu werd ik uitgenodigd voor m'n broer z'n verjaardag. Ik wilde uit respect voor hem niet meteen klagen over de biefstuk maar uiteindelijk vond niemand het lekker en waren de hamburger tegen bedorven aan. De juffrouw vd bediening wilde ons tegemoet komen met koffie met appeltaart. Nou daar hebben we voor bedankt. Als je 22 euro moet betalen voor een hamburger mag je toch wel een goede verwachten. Conclusie; ik ga hier nooit meer heen.

After a visit to the museum there, we settled down at the brasserie for lunch. Nice varied lunch menu, quick service, cozy outdoor seating.

Nice restaurant with beautiful terrace. Tasty food and friendly service. Recommended!

So nice to come here. Top service, delicious food and the kids will have a great time in the beautiful playground or playroom. We love coming here!

Dear gentleman, employee of the bar who welcomes the customers with the beautiful curls. You can certainly be a bit friendly to your guests. We were turned away because you were fully booked. Understandably no problem. We just wanted something to drink, and ordering at the bar would not have been a problem for us and then going to the playground with our drink because we came purely for the children and then we would go there. The children then walked around the back to the play area. And we met a very hospitable lady, even though she also said it was fully booked, she came up with a solution. So it can happen that way. In the end we didn't even stay there for half an hour.

Had a delicious meal at the Smaeckkamer. Well-cooked steak prepared with love. No fuss just good food less is more! We will definitely come back here💯

I won't be eating here again anytime soon. Very expensive for what you get. Starter was very sour. Some fish in it but it was almost invisible. And very little 😩 for what you paid for it. Main course was okay. If you want a side dish, pay extra for it, while the main course is already €29. costs😩This is really going to be crazy in the meantime. And then the dessert. €12. per person. A tasting from the chef. That was nothing. Small fruits on your plate for so much money. Also a lot of trouble from a wedding in terms of music and draft in the restaurant because the door kept opening. No, never again for me. Hope that they will think about this. Nowadays it is not so much fun to eat out anymore.

Great lunch and friendly staff. Also a beautiful location. Greetings Family. Rabbers

Super fun to go with small kids, food was good, only starters could have used some bread, not everything went well but it was resolved, excellent service

Great spot with fabulous garden view.

I thought De Smaeckkamer was non-smoking, but not so. This is the second time I've been there and people smoke there and the staff doesn't say anything about it. Everything is allowed. And it bothers you on the entire terrace! This is better arranged at Johanneshof (partly smoke-free). There is still some distance between the smoking and non-smoking areas. But this terrace is a bit too small for that. A spot outside the terrace would be ideal, where it wouldn't bother you as a non-smoker. Hopefully something will be done with it, but I'll go somewhere else for now!

Very nice and friendly staff and good food

Nice location with nice staff with slightly overpriced prices.

I don't think any further explanation is necessary. Great

This last week I went there wishing the Proverij with carpaccio but they changed the menu and added paprika soup. I'm allergic to pepper and paprika I had to choose another dish, I really would like to have the previous proverij.

Cozy eatery. Very friendly service. Tasty food, good price/quality ratio

Very friendly service (despite a full restaurant and terrace). Delicious lunch with nice 'non-standard' choices, the tasting is recommended. Made with care and attention.

Leuke ambiance, heerlijk terras. Vriendelijk personeel en bovenal lekker eten. Voorgerecht met appel en geitenkaascreme en spekjes echt heerlijk. En grand dessert verrukkelijk. De vis in hoofdgerecht had misschien iets royaler mogen zijn. Was kort op de huid gebakken dus heerlijk mals.

Super nice place! Nice playground right on the terrace, good coffee, good food and very friendly staff! Tip! Petting zoo practically around the corner

A really great place with delicious breakfast and good coffee.

The place is beautiful and the workers are nice. The food is generous and the prices are very moderate

Delicious food, cozy seating, a gem hidden in Beverwijk. Definitely go there Go there, you won't be disappointed👍

Fast, friendly service. Nice atmosphere. Choice for every taste.

Super tasty food! Main course steak. Dessert of rhubarb compote. Good atmosphere and service

Atmospheric setting with enough entertainment to keep little ones occupied. Great coffee and lush cake. Not tried the food yet.

Good food, very nice service, very good chefs and a very nice atmosphere. It is precisely the variety, great ideas every time and a good menu that adapts to the season with various tastings that makes this place truly unique. There is also a super nice team working together, friendly staff to the guests and they are certainly open to a pleasant conversation. In short, this is a truly unique place to enjoy again and again.

We had a nice breakfast there. There is also a lot of attention for small children.

Very tasty, very cozy, pleasant service, nice atmosphere. If I had to mention one downside, it would be the trek because of the old building, but it is precisely the building that makes it attractive. So absolutely recommended.

What a very nice and good restaurant. I have lactose intolerance and had a wonderful High Tea there today and had a very tasty and good meal for the first time. Thank you. 👍🏻👍🏻😘😘

Cozy atmosphere, the dog immediately got a bowl of water, friendly staff!

Very noisy. Sometimes difficult to follow a conversation at your own table when it is busy.

Beautiful stately building. For children there is a play corner inside and a playground outside. The inside looks neat and you will receive friendly service. The food was also good, although the prices were on the high side.

Very cosy And excellent service With very tasty food
