De Smaeckkamer in Vondelkwartier

Very helpful staff, delicious food and amazing vibe in a beautiful building. Thank you for being so kind!

Feels very restless. The service was okay but veeeery slow. As in; we had to call them to get our first round of drinks. And we also had to ask for the dinner menu.

No-nonsense political environment

Cozy, atmospheric, child-friendly.

Children can play there to their heart's content.

Beautiful building! Very atmospheric.

Nice place with children, however, the playground is full of stinging nettles, which resulted in a crying child covered in bumps. A playground with stinging nettles? Just remove them. The food is okay though. The service is otherwise friendly and they come by often enough. Also called for a spot in the shade because of babies, children, and pregnant women. They said on the phone that this would be fine. In the end, we were sitting in the full sun...

Service is slow; there were four of us, but the dishes came in batches of three☹️ Not to mention the dessert. It was served without cutlery, the ice cream was soggy and thawed, so we had it sent back. 5 minutes later, the same melted spheres with cutlery. The food is okay, but the service is a -10. I am never going there again.

Fascinating place. The red berries sparkling water was delicious. The falafel burger patty not so much. Staff super kind, but we almost left because there is only a very limited menu available on the tables. They do have a real menu. You just need to ask for it. Staff kindly charged my phone while we ate.

Excellent restaurant in a nice location with friendly staff.

We sat outside on the terrace, which was lovely, while our daughter was happily playing in the playground.

Filthy terrace Dirty floor and wooden tables that are impossible to keep clean

Nice little restaurant, they care a lot about their guests and take allergies and allergens into perfect account. Definitely recommended.

Beautiful, well-maintained location. Nice menu and extremely helpful and hospitable staff!

Had a delicious meal. Nice, spacious terrace.

I haven't eaten yet, but I'm definitely going to eat.

A nice location combined with friendly staff makes this an excellent place to spend a few hours.

Lovely place for lunch, beautiful terrace, friendly service, so we will gladly come back.

Nice location, beautiful authentic interior, and lovely outdoor terrace and garden. Delicious snacks and good service

Had a nice lunch during the bike ride. Very friendly service.

Great food. Nice location, free parking, adjusted the (very great) burger for allergy. With the other dish there was no adjustment done, so we switched plates :( Unfortunately there were 2 groups on the terrace. It was too loud, less attention for the smaller tables. I would have wanted to know this when making the reservation.

Always great here! Good service, tasty food, and the kids can run around freely too.

On a hot day you can sit outside in the shade. There's a playground for children. Zucchini soup, delicious.

De Smaeckkamer is a really pleasant place with a warm and cozy atmosphere the setting feels relaxed and welcoming and makes it easy to enjoy your time the staff is friendly and attentive and even when it gets busy they stay kind and helpful overall a great experience and definitely worth a visit

First eat and then walk in the adjacent forest.

We arrived at the restaurant at 4:05 PM wanting to eat. We were told that dinner wasn't served until 5:00 PM and that they only had small snacks (only fried food). So we ordered snacks. At 4:30 PM, we saw burgers and salads being carried to another table. When we inquired, we were told that the items had been ordered from the lunch menu before 4:00 PM. We then asked if we could order something from the dinner menu, but this was refused. I then saw that our snacks were carried to another table and left there for two minutes before they realized it was the wrong table. I have never experienced anything like this or such a lack of customer service. I absolutely cannot recommend this restaurant.

We had dinner at De Smaekkamer tonight; lunch is always delicious and dinner was delicious too. The atmosphere is good and cozy. The service wasn't very good. Very slow, everything took a very long time, and by the second drink I had to go and ask for the menus myself. Also, with new drinks, the staff frequently didn't take away the old empty bottles. This was a bit of a downside; the toilets were clean, but there was no soap or toilet paper. Hopefully, this will be different when we come next time. The food, however, was superb!

Great location. Dishes were tasty, but not exceptional! The service is friendly, but could be a bit more proactive. All in all, a great choice for a place to eat with children.

Delicious food, it's a shame the staff is a bit stressed and unwelcoming. It used to be better. At these prices, in addition to good food, I expect a welcoming attitude from the staff.

Just enjoyed a delicious lunch in a pleasant setting. The staff is exceptionally friendly and hospitable.

Great menu, good food, plenty of gluten-free options, and nice service! Just needs good fries or Friethoes and the picture is complete.

I had a very disappointing experience today at De Smaeckkamer in Beverwijk. We were not given a seat inside and were sent outside, which is fine in itself. We then ordered drinks and wanted to order lunch afterwards, but we were told that lunch outside is not possible. What makes this even more frustrating is that there were two tables sitting next to us that *were* having lunch outside. According to the staff, that was “a small mistake,” but subsequently, no effort was made to resolve this fairly or make an exception. I mentioned that I am breastfeeding and was really hungry, but there was absolutely no understanding for that. According to them, there was no room inside either, so we were essentially stuck: allowed to order drinks, but unable to get any food. This feels very unreasonable and unfriendly to customers. Mistakes can happen, but how you resolve them makes all the difference, and unfortunately, that went completely wrong here!!!

Pleasant location and authentic building. Friendly staff.

I did not have lunch there but great hospitality and wonderful vibe. It also smells so good. Quick stop unfortunately

Excellent as always, and they also try to accommodate allergens as best as possible. This is very helpful.

I was eating with my family but I ordered 3 fries with mayo but there was green stuff in the mayo and it tasted a bit like ketchup and it was very disgusting and I had to puke and the employees looked very angry and he gave me 2 punches on my head I have bruises

Beautiful location with plenty of walking areas around it, so you can enjoy a delicious lunch with the dog or children!

A charming restaurant with delicious dishes. It's perfect for families with young children, but also for a cozy evening for two.

Nice, cozy and relaxed atmosphere with a surprising menu.

Had a wonderful evening. Friendly staff, a menu with everything you need, and a super nice location. I'll definitely be back!

Wonderful place to eat. Cozy living room atmosphere. The High Wine and High Beer are highly recommended!

This restaurant is a real disaster. The staff is disinterested and seems constantly stressed, the food arrives cold and sloppy, and tastes awful. When I got the bill, there was a 44% VAT charge on the food, plus a mandatory 5% tip. Unacceptable and completely not worth the money. Absolutely not recommended.

We came here recently with friends and it was such a cozy and nice place 😊 The staff was very kind and the food was truly high quality. I really enjoyed it. I’ll gladly come back soon Highly recommend 👍🏻👍🏻

Top-notch! I can't say otherwise. From the starter, through the main course, to the dessert. Great attention has been paid to everything; everything has diverse flavors and is perfectly coordinated. You don't just 'go out for dinner' here; it is an experience. Excellent service, which also explained what we were served. Parking is available right in front of the door in the parking lot. It is certainly a 45-minute drive for us, but we will definitely be back.

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

Mom/grandma spoiled with a high tea. It was very tasty, and a real plus is that the service is super sweet to kids! There was an extensive children's menu for my grandson. Highly recommended for a visit with kids!

What a lovely, cozy place in Beverwijk! Excellent service!

Beautiful and cozy place to have lunch. We had a delicious meal and the children had a great time! Super service!

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

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

The 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 one fresh and creatively composed. I chose a vegetarian dish that was prepared so well that even meat lovers would be impressed. The service was professional and knowledgeable about the ingredients and preparation methods. The wines paired perfectly with every dish and completed the evening. The atmosphere was quiet and stylish, ideal for a romantic dinner or a special moment. The desserts were surprising and delightfully light. Everything about this experience testified to craftsmanship and passion for gastronomy.

Well, nice place, okay service, but very mediocre food. On our first attempt, we were served cold fish that had been sitting under the lamp on the bar for 10 minutes. We received a fresh portion, which was fine. My Black Angus burger was truly tough and dry. A thick hunk of meat that was grey on the inside. That’s all I can say about it. No repeat visit for us.

We didn't find what we're used to from the service. Speed, etc. The 30 euro charcuterie board! was a real joke. A meager board. The child did enjoy themselves though.

Delicious high tea, compliments 👌🏻

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

We had a delicious meal and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to relax and unwind.

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

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

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!

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
