Eetcafé Gulle Graef Hilversum in Centrum

Good food, but such incredibly bad and unfriendly service. We had to wait a long time (more than an hour) even though we were the only ones there. Even for the bill, we had to walk to the bar, standing there with four people serving. They didn't even manage a smile. Next time, we'll just get takeout. What a shame.

Had a delicious meal and friendly service. I understood from the owner that they just introduced a new menu and a revamped kitchen team, and that change is well received. Good quality for a good price and nicely presented dishes. The asparagus and rendang were delicious. Next time I will definitely try their sister restaurant Vieux Hilversum as well.

Very bad. A homemade schnitzel that tasted like nothing. Chicory with ham and cheese was so bitter. And then the dessert; next time I’ll just walk around the corner to Albert Heijn to get a microwave meal with a tub of yogurt. Nice, cozy square, but since the new owner, it’s not what it used to be.

Eating, don't do it if you are hungry. The food is fine, but there is very little you get as a group. I have set the group size to 1 person, because I hope that you will get enough food then🙈, if you come alone.

Lovely, partially covered terrace with cozy seating. Nice, efficient service too!

Good value for money, had a delicious meal👍🏻

Always good food and an extensive beer selection

Friendly service and delicious food.

Had a delicious gluten-free meal! Highly recommended. Beautiful sunny terrace!

The vegetarian cannelloni was truly exquisite. We will be back soon. We had a delicious meal 😍

Spontaneously stayed for dinner on King's Day. Good atmosphere. Great menu. The food was tasty and plentiful. Very friendly staff.

The new owner has done a wonderful job running the inn! The staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. I had a very pleasant dinner here with my parents. The terrace is truly perfect for the sunny days that are coming up now.

Delicious sandwiches in a beautiful location with very friendly service!

Half a meter of spare ribs, worst ribs ever, what a joke, thin, narrow, no meat on them, dark and dry, no garnish, and 1 bowl of fries for 3 people 27.50p.p. How bad.

Had a delicious meal on the sun-drenched terrace, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere

Lovely place to sit, had a delicious meal. Nice service and a very friendly, helpful owner.

Very cozy restaurant, with delicious food and super good service.

Dear fellow members of our amazing Gooise Mattress. The new Graaf van Buren, a world-class establishment. Formerly owner of the missed friend Frank. Yet, two very dedicated people show the courage to invest in the future of Hilversum's most beautiful terrace during difficult times. Great atmosphere, lovely, open-minded people with character; they deserve your attention for their culinary skills. Let us celebrate our royal couple in all freedom and respect for human well-being. I am a very welcome and unseen guest wherever I go. My problem, but give these people what they deserve. Anonymous, yet very well known.

Very nice service and incredibly delicious food!

Delicious food, nice place. Friendly service.

Had a very pleasant meal! It was delicious! Super nice atmosphere! Very busy, but they kept an eye on their guests.

Had a good meal and the overall experience was good. Formerly a loyal customer of Gulle Graef, I wanted to give the new place a chance. They are not (yet) at the level of their predecessor, but give it some time and it might get even better. But it is certainly highly recommended for a meal; we will undoubtedly eat there more often in the future.

What a lovely place, and what a sweet, professional owner. We enjoyed delicious beers on the terrace. Later, we moved inside for a wonderful meal. The carpaccio was excellent, the steak skewers delicious, and the tournedos too. We finished off with a delicious specialty coffee. What delicious food for a good, reasonable price. Lovely people. A top-notch place. We'll definitely be back.

Fantastic birthday lunch. What a festive fountain. Truly a surprise.

I had lunch with a friend. The food was good and the service was excellent. Well done Kick and Elske

Unfortunately, it was really cold at our table. There was a problem with the heater, which made it a bit uncomfortable. There were few other guests. The staff didn't have much to do. We found the waiter a bit too pushy. He kept standing by our table until we had made a choice from the menu. This made us feel a bit embarrassed and slightly uneasy. We told him we needed to look at it, but he returned two minutes later to ask if we had already made up our minds. The food itself was fine. Portions were good for the price. The tomato soup was excellent. The carpaccio was generously topped, but unfortunately, due to the lack of olive oil or perhaps truffle oil, it was a bit dry. There was some pesto on it, but not enough compared to the toppings. The satay was a bit too charred, making it a bit dry in places. The satay sauce was flavorful and nicely spiced. The fries were crispy and at the right temperature. The dessert was excellent! We won't be back anytime soon!

Enjoyed a delicious meal from the menu full of classics. It was hard to choose, but everything was delicious.

Everything was excellent. Delicious food and a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. A bit noisy with larger groups, though.

I ate the entrecote and it was exactly how I wanted it (medium) very tasty

The first visit after (re)opening was great! Warm, cozy, and good service and quality.

Had a wonderful evening 😁!! I had a lovely dinner with my parents at De Nieuwe Graaf. The name and the restaurant have been upgraded; it used to be called De Gulle Graef. It was always delicious, but the restaurant needed some renovations. That's now been done, and everything has improved. Someone always comes by to ask if you want another drink; it's simply perfect. 👌👌 The food is truly amazing, with perfect portions so you don't have to order more. If you haven't been yet, you absolutely must go, because you won't find such delicious food anywhere else!! 😁 One drawback: don't sit next to the swinging door, because there's a good chance you'll get hit in the head by it!! 😁😁

What a sad affair! We went here for dinner because we'd always been big fans of the generous Graef. However, the new Graef was a disappointment. The plates were blandly presented, the food was very poor value for money, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was also lacking. It's a real shame I ordered spare ribs, which cost 29.50. I got a white pancake-like plate with a rib on it, nothing else, no salad, nothing. We also got a small portion of fries that the three of us had to share. Compared to other restaurants in the area, it's much better. You won't see me back at the new Graef anytime soon!

Relaxed cafe. A bite to eat and a beer is perfect on a wintery Thursday evening.

We made a reservation for Christmas Day, but unfortunately, we could only choose from the suggested Christmas menu. The selection wasn't great, and the preparation wasn't great either. We mentioned this on arrival, even at checkout. Not worth repeating.

We had a fantastic meal here! I'll definitely be back! The staff are also really nice and go the extra mile to ensure you have a great evening!

Under new ownership for a month now, but very satisfied. Wide menu selection, lovely atmosphere. Good food, and excellent service. If you're in Hilversum for a bite to eat, you should definitely go here.

During our weekly walk, we arrived at De Nieuwe Graaf. A beautiful restaurant on a romantic square in Hilversum city center. The food, the atmosphere, the location, and the staff are all top-notch! When my dinner companion requested a cortado at the end of dinner, the staff went above and beyond to prepare this coffee version as perfectly as possible. People who love hospitality and the hospitality industry work here! Absolutely top-notch. In short: it was a fantastic evening!

Spontaneously went here for dinner, fantastic what a nice fresh place, the food was great, shrimp cocktail was tasty, vitello T was delicious, hamburger and the shrimp pot everything was good nice wine nice service we will definitely come back

We ate there for the first time yesterday after the renovations. Luckily, much of the decor has stayed the same... the food was still excellent!

Really good old fashioned! Went there with my partner and had a wonderful meal. Spare ribs fall off the bone and have a huge amount of flavour. Steak is great and you get it exactly the way you want it, almost science how exactly it was cooked! Good, neat and cheerful service. Extensive beer and wine menu and just a great evening for a normal price! We will come back here so often!

Op vrijdag 3 januari heerlijk gedineerd. De gerechten waren top maar de reden dat we een review schrijven is aandacht voor de gasten. Zo werd een man die alleen gedineerd had en weg wilde gaan zonder te groeten, vriendelijk goedenavond gewenst. Ook was er veel personeel aan het werk waarbij opviel dat ze bijna allemaal konden tappen. Verder opvallend dat een biertje wat al even op de bar stond, voor het serveren nog even opnieuw werd bij getapt zodat het er weer beter uit zag. Dat doen ze niet overal. De aandacht voor meer van zulke kleine dingen was opvallend. Je ziet dat iedereen zijn best doet om het de gasten naar de zin te maken.

Delicious spareribs eaten and the more generous portion! Great ambiance and extremely friendly staff. Also a good drinks menu. Highly recommended!.

Just a nice little restaurant with an informal atmosphere.

The food and service were super good. Cozy interior and therefore really recommended. We have been coming here for years!!

We had Christmas dinner at the Gulle Graef and even on this particularly busy day everything was as we are used to: good and friendly service, delicious food, etc. Compliments!!

Yesterday we had a delicious meal with our team at Gulle Graef! Everything was perfectly arranged, absolutely enough and delicious! Thanks for everything!

Always tasty dishes and you can determine the size of the portions yourself. Outside there is a large and cozy terrace. Service friendly but not always attentive.

Large restaurant, often offering room for a nice last-minute dinner out. Delicious food, always friendly staff and a great place to spend an evening eating and drinking! Personally, I am always very happy with the loose meat menu, meat boards for 2 or more people with sirloin steak, tournedos and ribeye! The terrace is also nice to sit in the summer.

Everything fine, nothing to complain about.

Delicious food, pleasant atmosphere and good service. Very satisfied with the service we received.

Surprisingly nice dining farm, in the center with a large attractive yard as a terrace, charcoal grilled meat, personal attention and explanation of the history. Very tasty satay!!

Nice place to have something to eat. Food was really good quality. Can be done with two people or with a group.

Always cozy, now quite large and very cozy furnished. Recommended for everyone! Delicious meat and excellent vegetarian options. Also special beer list, not too expensive

I had a nice meal here with my group. A not so large, but varied menu. In addition, a small season ticket, which I really liked. I love game and it was the season for that. Was very tasty. And luckily the wine I chose went well with it. My group didn't really like game, but they also liked their choice from the regular menu. Recommended!

Delicious dinner tonight. We will definitely come back.

Excellent food, nice menu and the service knows how it should be done. Overall very good restaurant.

Quite a lot of sauce with the meat and the dessert was delicious, but also a bit much. It's never good either...

We tried the meat board and it was very tasty. They have local beers from the tap and also an extensive wine menu. Lastly, they know how to make the bill fun! Highly recommended

The food was fine! Tomato soup with basil oil, and excellent chicken thigh sateh. Highly recommended!

Top service from the staff and owners. Nice atmosphere. Everything was arranged down to the last detail, both the event and the menu. Started with Virgin Piña Colada (without alcohol) Deliciously light, combination, carpaccio starter, juicy lamb chops and for dessert, including mini cheesecake, block of tiramisu and scoop of ice cream. All in all very excellent. I did end up with a smudge of elephant paint on my blazer, as a reminder :-) :-) Kind of a design. Thanks everyone

Delicious meal on the terrace with six, a snack beforehand, three courses and fresh mint tea to finish. Large cozy covered terrace, excellent attentive service, just good.

As visitors to Hilversum, my wife and I chose this restaurant because the online menu looked interesting and creative. We were not disappointed. I can honestly say that this was one of the best meals I've had ... ever! While cocktail culture has yet to reach the Netherlands, the pina colada and amaretto sour we started our meal with were both excellent. Our main course was the Chateaubriand steak for two, served over a bed of perfectly roasted veggies on a rough wooden plank. The steak was superb ... tender, juicy, tasty, and exactly medium rare ... nicely paired with a hearty Chilean cabernet sauvignon. For dessert, a decadent chocolate mousse with raspberry ice cream served in small spring-top canning jars. We stumbled back to our Airbnb, very full and very happy!

Geweldige zaak. Vriendelijke service, goed eten en een atmosphere om naar terug te keren. Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar

Nice restaurant! Service was great, very attentive and friendly. The food was great and we enjoyed sitting on the attractive terrace. Will definitely come back soon!

Nice place to eat, tasty menu and grilled vegetables as a side dish is highly recommended. The terrace is very attractive, but it's a shame about the smokers who hang over your meal with a cigarette after their meal.

Tasty food. More than enough. Had a 3 course menu. Good service, but the dessert and coffee took a bit long. Good thing will definitely come back.

One of my favorite eateries in Hilversum. Rustic, cozy and very nice staff.

Always good service, I love it!

Nice and spacious outdoor terrace, you can always find a spot. It was a very good and very good value for money. Come here regularly🙏

Last Tuesday I had dinner here with work. I am lactose intolerant and they handled this wonderfully. They have an allergy card and also double check everything just to be sure. I didn't feel well during dinner and they immediately took action. Everything was checked again and they asked what they could do for me. The staff handled this so professionally. Really nice. Ps. I found out the cause and it was NOT due to eating the Gulle Graef.

Delicious meal outside on the terrace. Price-quality was well balanced, had a nice evening!

Price quality is sufficient. Nice and pleasant service. Customer oriented!

Nice place, good food, nice staff Recommended

Delicious food, good service, nice concept and cozy location.

Super cozy terrace with attentive staff! Food is tasty, especially if you like meat! Fish and vegetarian dishes are limited.

Reservation went smoothly. We were allowed to sit at a table with 9 people, which initially seemed a bit on the small side, but ultimately served well. Service is smooth and friendly and the food and drinks arrived quickly. Quality is excellent, although some dishes (particularly the vegetarian ones) lag behind. However, meat lovers will really appreciate the Gulle Graef. Overall cozy and good cafe with good price/quality ratio.

Nice service! Just a pity that the pork belly was not cooked properly with a crispy crust. Other than that it was fine.

Ordered spare ribs, were delicious, came with potato wedges and lettuce and various sauces.

Great host, beautiful place! Highly recommended.

Delicious food, very friendly service, it was very busy, so it was difficult to understand each other.

Ribeye was amazing. 11 out of 10 😊 To improve: better wine glasses 🍷

The food (1 beer, 1 coke, carpaccio and 1.5 spare ribs) was tasty. Reserved table at 1900. Now at 2100 I am sitting in the toilet with diarrhea. But it was tasty.

Good food, nice sitting outside!

Lots of variety in the menu and deliciously prepared. Service is friendly and helpful.

A very cozy restaurant that I like to visit! The service is very friendly and there is a nice choice on the menu. Food is good, but the quality of fries that you get with your dish is a real downside. Dry and not tasty. As far as we are concerned, they can really adapt them to a different brand and quality. For the rest, we would love to come again!

Sometimes a bit busy and loud, tables could be less wobbly and sticky. Otherwise, friendly service and good food.

Good dishes. Exactly what we expected. Service was neat and good! The atmosphere could be improved a bit by placing tables less close together.

Very nice atmosphere with friendly and professional staff.

Very tasty, nice staff, highly recommended for all the ribs

It was just great. Nothing less nothing more.

A really nice restaurant. Delicious food and great service. Prices are fine. In spring and summer you can sit outside.

Good restaurant, spontaneous service, and super tasty food! To be repeated!

Never before have I eaten such a delicious burger as at Gulle Graef. Large portions. And very friendly service, with a smile.

It was a while ago. But it was delicious again

Enjoyed Christmas dinner. Lots of very friendly staff Delicious food.

Catering as catering should be. Nice atmosphere, good staff and nice menu. Fortunately, there are also a number of tasty special beers on tap. So absolutely recommended.

Always good. Fantastic meat. Top service

Samen met mijn vriend hier uit eten gegaan..maar zowel het voorgerecht als hoofdgerecht was niet lekker. Slechte kwaliteit. En voor die kwaliteit veel en veel te duur

We had a delicious meal here! There is a cozy atmosphere in the restaurant with pleasant service. The menu is surprising with delicious dishes and a choice of different portion sizes. The beer menu has also been expanded with a nice range of non-alcoholic beers. All in all, highly recommended!

Mijn petje af!! Dubbele shift op Kerstdag. Toen we kwamen om 20.00 was niet te merken dat de zaak net bomvol had gezeten. Het eten was voortreffelijk, de bediening was hoffelijk, vrolijk en attent. Het was weer een feestje om te mogen komen eten. Je voelt je zo verwend!
