Eetcafe Het Hert in Naarden

The food was disappointing in terms of value for money. The satay platter was meager and the tournedo was impossible to cut through. The pepper sauce tasted chemical. They did not have 4 dishes listed on the menu. And that on a Saturday. Only the mussels were tasty. We sat in the conservatory and the sound was loud. The voices echoed very badly.

We ate on the terrace with four of us. Very friendly and efficient service. My starter (garlic prawns) was delicious! And the main course, spareribs, were the best I have eaten in a long time. Wonderfully seasoned and the meat fell right off the bone. I hope to have an opportunity to dine at Het Hert again soon!

Cozy eatery with a lovely terrace (at the back). Friendly service and tasty food. Perfect for a pleasant evening out or a delicious lunch, whether for two or a whole group. We love coming here.

Good food with nice garden outdoor sitting. Portion was a bit small.

Lovely pub setting, with friendly staff and great food, recommended!

The food was average. I definitely wouldn't go back to that restaurant because of the staff. Maybe the waitresses were just having a really bad day.

Restaurant in Naarden Vesting, with a large walled terrace. Tasty food, good atmosphere, and excellent service!

We had a good meal, but maybe clean the table before inviting people over.

Had a great experience at Eetcafé Het Hart. The food was excellent and full of flavor. We tried the salmon and the ribs, and both dishes were cooked perfectly. The salmon was fresh and tasty, while the ribs were tender and well-seasoned. We also enjoyed a Texel beer and a Heineken, which paired nicely with the meal. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience, and I would happily visit again. Highly recommended if you’re looking for good food and a relaxed atmosphere.

I ate broodje van de maand and it was ribeye with parmesan and truffle. It was so delicious... 😀 good quaility of lunch 👍🏻

Delicious, no-nonsense food. Service could be a bit quicker. They don't seem to see the work that needs to be done. (Youth?)

Dropped by by chance and enjoyed a meal outside. Nice atmosphere, simple menu, good value for money. Actually, a total rating close to 4.5 stars!

27-05-2026 Enjoyed lunch here with my wife and youngest son. We arrived early and sat inside. The service/waitress was very friendly and attentive. There was also a kind offer for a drink on the house because there was a brief instance of "noise disturbance." Given our schedule, we declined the drink but thanked them nonetheless. The lunch was simply good.

After being turned away from two other restaurants, I finally ended up here for drinks. Received a very warm welcome. Friendly staff! Food and drinks of good quality. Large indoor terrace.

Nice eatery, quick service and tasty food

Cozy restaurant with good service and tasty dishes on the menu.

Nice place, but the acoustics could use a bit more attention. Food is well-seasoned.

We had a delicious game meal with nice company in a great atmosphere and excellent service.

What a fantastic cafe! A highlight of a walk through Naarden Fortress. Delicious food, warm atmosphere, and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Had a lovely and delicious lunch here yesterday! We had the sandwich of the month, with rendang. Mmm! It was so tasty! And lots of meat on it too. The waitresses were very nice and friendly! A great success.

When we went there at 15.30 and at the entrance we were asked if we are there for food or drinks, and we told them for food. We sat, and quite some time later the waitress came. We tried ordering food and she told us that it is not possible, so we left. Thet were pretty rude and they did not say goodbye. The atmosphere was nice.

Top place! The food was delicious and the crew was fantastic. Friendly, fast, and accurate.

Very tasty food, friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.

We arrived too late for lunch and too early for dinner. Unfortunately, the only options were drinks platters or bitterballen. We asked if bread and croquettes were available, since they also had fried bitterballen. Unfortunately, this wasn't possible. A couple at the table behind us had suggested the same thing and were also disappointed. Unfortunately, we only had drinks and went elsewhere for dinner.

The food was delicious. The fries were very dry and the waitress could have been a bit friendlier.

Very nice staff, delicious food, nice atmosphere

A lovely old-fashioned restaurant where time seems to have stood still. 😊 Delicious food and drinks.

Great food and service. Very popular place.

I had a really great stay here, the food was very good and the Service Team super friendly! I will come back soon🫶🥰

All is well, and has been for years.

Very pleasant experience on all levels

Nice and cozy place.. We had a great lunch .

It always feels like coming home with these lovely people. Good food and a friendly atmosphere—you'll feel right at home here! Thank you, and we hope to see you next time.

A lovely, atmospheric spot. Beautiful garden, though the enormous parasols obscure the view of the beautiful facades. A perfectly fine and tasty lunch, though the price-quality ratio might need some careful consideration. But perhaps I should reassess the modern value for money in the hospitality industry. It's still skyrocketing.

Nice stop in Naarden, delicious food.

The food is great especially the burger. The service is nice and fast even for tourists when it is busy. The atmosphere is nice especially at dinner.

Delicious food, surprisingly tasty.

Absolutely fantastic. Cozy courtyard, delicious food. No fuss.

We had a delicious meal. Chicken skewers and spare ribs, both equally delicious. Lovely outside on the terrace, in the late evening sun. Friendly and fast service.

had horrible service and was insanely expensive. staff was rude to me and started a riot.

Great food, but above all, the service is top-notch! There are a few nicely set-up tables along the street, but thankfully it started to rain, so we were able to see the rustic dining room and sit on the covered terrace. Highly recommended

Good service, good food. Nice menu

Enjoyed a delicious meal in a relaxed atmosphere

Delicious Burgundian. We enjoyed fast and friendly service and delicious food.

Food is delicious, staff fantastic!

Always good food, the best onion soup in NL. Good friendly service, nice place to have a bite to eat or a drink

Het hert is niet meer zoals het was Slechte frieten en taaie spareribs. Ze namen het vlees mee. Tafelgenoot bestelt garnalen. Nochal rubberig dus uit de vriezer

A nice drink with a snack was fun!!

Located in the old part of the town, seen from the outside it seems like the usual Dutch bar but inside there is a very large environment with a covered terrace and, for the summer, outdoor tables. It has kitchen where you can eat from hamburger to spareribs and salmon fillet which are delicious. The desserts are also excellent. Very kind staff. If I want to find a small flaw I would say the menu is only in Dutch but the staff is still available to help you.

Terrible overpriced food. We ate mustard watered down in luke warm water and salt (the soup of the day - horrible) and a salad, which was a few leaves of greens and an old piece of cheese on top of one piece of bread. 50€ for that. Shocking. Possibly the worst lunch in my life. Absolutely not recommended sorry.

Really awful food. We ordered 4 different things, not one of them was edible. We were charged 50€ for terrible mustard soup and a piece of old cheese on bread (that was described as salad in the menu). Staff is friendly, but the rest is no good.

A lovely spring day brought us to the fortified town of Naarden. My wife knew a restaurant with a courtyard garden called Het Hert. Found enough space here. Quick response and order delivered.

Kwamen per toeval langs. Een leuk bruin eetcafé met een serre achter. De bediening is informeel en heel vriendelijk. De loempia met geitenkaas is een aanrader. Heerlijke combinatie. De uiensoep is eveneens heerlijk. Rijk gevuld en niet te zout.

While it was freezing outside, we ate here at 20 degrees, very cold... slow service, long waiting times for the food... hardly any other guests. The food was not worth the money, a steak costing 32 euros and very small, 60 grams at most. Slip sole also small, while as an experienced sole eater I am used to better...a starter of 15 euros for tartare, 3 bites, very small, thick veggie burger, fine, but why 2? Perhaps for the turnover 19 euros.. In total we lost 136 euros...phew in an ice cold conservatory and still hungry.. Next time back to Bregje,...always great there..

Had lunch here yesterday and it was delicious! Would highly recommend for lunch after visiting the Fortress Museum - also seems great for large parties if you reserve something in advance!

What a beautiful card. Delicious food. Friendly service and a great atmosphere.

As usual it was lovely and cozy and perfect, we will definitely be back

Had lunch at Het Hert last week and that was fine. Delicious croquettes with tasty brown bread and a little salad. So we thought we would have a nice dinner on February 15, 2025. Was a disappointment. The 2 soles served were paper thin, the bread under the hamburger was not tasty. Poor quality bread. The dessert did not look appealing. Without any imagination. Shame.

We had coffee there, it was fine

Personeel heel aardig. Gezellig bruin eetcafe. Prijs kwaliteit niet in juiste verhouding. 2 superdunne slibtongetjes voor 26,50. Hamburger vlees is goed, broodje slechte kwaliteit. Dessert appelstrudel ziet er niet smakelijk uit. Al met al niet voor herhaling vatbaar.

After playing an escape room via Google, I settled down at this cozy cafe. We were 6 people and were immediately given a friendly welcome. We tasted just about everything on the menu, to the amusement of the staff. The atmosphere was good. The food was delicious, service top notch and atmosphere a big 10. Thank you for a great evening, see you next time😊

Delicious food and friendly service! Extensive dinner, beer and wine list. Definitely worth repeating

In general the correct description is - Too bad - The food is mediocre, the tables are not clean, even the menu is too disgusting to handle. When we were there there was no capable chef in the kitchen. The tenderloin was fried (if it was tenderloin at all) and the carpaccio had a bad taste. Assuming they aren't trying to bottle the customer (and I don't think so), I would look for another butcher. The service was friendly and the coffee was excellent (if you like strong coffee like me) In any case, not worth a visit.

Eaten surf & turf salad for 19.50. Price-quality ratio was hard to find. Both the prawn and the tenderloin were overcooked. In addition, the tenderloin pieces were certainly not tenderloin.

Overcooked. Spare ribs and burger were extremely overcooked, dry and tasted like nothing

Delicious food. Carpaccio, pork tenderloin sateh and ice coffee and amaretto. Everything was excellent.

Jaren geleden voor het laatst in Het Hert gegeten. Vanuit de ervaring van destijds afgelopen zondag weer eens gereserveerd. Wat viel het tegen.Eten was zeer matig. Zelfs het toetje voldeed absoluut niet aan de verwachting.

Gezellig! Cosy ambiance of a true 'Dutch ''brown' Pub with good pub food! (No pics yet ..more to come soon)

Service was good and atmosphere too, but 2 people got food poisoning from the liver. The pork satay was also still pink. The chef probably wanted to cook quickly because it was very busy. The soups (both) were very tasty.

Very unfriendly people. No experience With the servers but the managers. If supplier contact. Had them.

Delicious food and pleasant service.

Food quality is mediocre, Small portions

Wonderful cafe. Attention to the guest. It's buzzing. Know their guests. Food is good. Everything you would expect from an eatery.

Cozy place to sit. We were there for drinks.

Good food, very friendly service, cozy restaurant. I felt very comfortable here.

Cozy brown eatery with committed and enthusiastic service. Recommended for a quick bite.

Beautiful location, dog friendly and delicious lunch (slip soles). We sat in the covered conservatory, and when the weather is nice you can also sit in the large garden at the back. Price/quality is excellent. We'll be back!

Innovative tapas with different flavors

We eat here very regularly and always feel welcome and appreciated. The price-quality ratio and the fantastic service make it a pleasure to eat here.

We walked in spontaneously...nice tent, friendly service and the food was delicious. Highly recommended

For people who have a lot of patience. First wait at the bar because the agreed table was not yet available. Then wait another hour and a half at the table before order and dish are served. Orders are not fulfilled properly at our table or in the surrounding area. Everything is going wrong tonight, is the response from the wait staff. Food was good. Service and kitchen do not have sufficient capacity. We felt sorry for the staff and also for ourselves that our outing ended this way.

We were welcomed , even though we didn't have a reservation. BUT , after that it all went only downhill. It took forever before our order was taken . We had a starters and main course. We did enjoy the starters , but we never got the burgers we've ordered . We were there for 2 hours and we left the place hungry without dinner.

Great tent, great card. The veal liver that I was really looking forward to was undercooked. That is very important for the liver. This one was very small and far too raw. My comment on this resulted in the remark “you should have said that earlier”. A bit weak. No more calf liver in Het Hert for me.

It's slightly on the expensive side,but the vibe is too good... the service was lovely, the staff were so friendly and helpful. The interior of the place is beautiful...

Ooh... That was a bit of fun. Sitting in the garden with the lovely weather. Lunch was really tasty and a nice plate full. I will definitely come back here again.

A cozy place with lots of details inside and a beautiful sunlit terrace at the back. The service was decent. Good selection of beers, including non-alcoholic options, and excellent food. The Niçoise salad was superb, with the tuna perfectly cooked. The sweet potato fries were also great. The burger was excellent. We ordered flatbread for our daughter—she didn’t really appreciate it (not the most child-friendly dish), but we liked it. We weren’t too impressed with the regular fries—they were a bit dry. And the food took quite a while to arrive (though understandable, as there were seven of us). Overall, I highly recommend this place, and we will definitely return.

Pleasant staff and delicious food.

Heerlijk gegeten, vriendelijke bediening. Zeker voor de locatie een keurige prijs voor de kwaliteit. Wij zijn hier om 16.00 begonnen met borrelen en zijn uiteindelijk blijven dineren. Personeel denkt graag mee en is flexibel

Hert is een leuke lokatie, met heel vriendelijke en vrolijke bediening. Eten werd vlot geserveerd. Vond de hoeveelheid patat bij het eten ruim onder de maat. Kregen voor 3 personen een rond schaaltje met daarin alleen maar kleine stukjes patat. Bij de vraag of alles naar wens was, gevraagd of dit de juiste hoeveelheid patat was voor 3 personen waarop bevestigd werd geantwoord (?) En of dit juist was dat wij een schaaltje friet kregen met alleen maar kleine stukjes 1,5 tot 2,5 cm. Ook hier werd bevestigd op geantwoord. Aangegeven hiermee niet akkoord te willen gaan, en na enige tegensputteringen , konden wij toch een ander bakje patat krijgen,gelukkig maar. Het eten was verder helemaal top, en de avond was gezellig. Vind wel dat voor de prijzen die het restaurant rekent, de hoeveelheid eten daar op aangepast zou moeten worden, immers € 23,50 voor een sparerib of €21,50 voor 1 stok saté is best niet voordelig.

Delicious food. Casual cozy atmosphere. With calm customer-friendly service.

On a Friday afternoon without a reservation, we were tipped by friends to have lunch at Het Hert. It was quiet upon arrival, although there were guests eating. And even though we didn't have a reservation, we were more than welcome. The employee was friendly and offered us something to drink and a menu. We ordered two sandwiches and they were good! Carpaccio sandwich was filled and fell over your bread, it was very well filled and my sandwich of the month was tasty and the sandwich was still warm. We had a good lunch here. We liked the price. The atmosphere could use some improvement, but the taste is not inferior. Highly recommended.

Nice atmosphere and delicious food.

Delicious meal with excellent service

Such a beautiful gem in Naarden. Great and kind service, tasty food in big portions!

Super cozy restaurant in the center of Naarden. The food was very tasty and the atmosphere good. Staff very friendly and plenty of parking nearby 😉!

Excellent cafe. Good and simple map. Good quality spring roll goat cheese and satay tenderloin. Cozy atmosphere with attentive service.

Friendly service, tasty food, reasonable prices, in short, a great place to have a nice meal.

Gezellig eetcafé met aardige kaart. Is groot terras achter. Bediening is zeer gastvrij en vrolijk. De zaak is mooi ingericht met een sfeervolle bar.

Cozy cafe with a nice menu. There is a large terrace at the back. Service is very hospitable and cheerful.

Always a pleasant meal at Het Hert In Naarden. I thought the card was very ordinary.
