Eeterij en Tapperij De Smoks in Wijk 01 Zelhem

The food is fantastic. And the service is of the same caliber. And everything in dialect. I like that. Keep it up Top. Been again and still top.

A while ago we had already eaten at restaurant De Smoks, then at a table in the restaurant and the service, atmosphere and food were great! Last night we went for dinner with four people. It was 26° outside, so we first thought of sitting inside, but everyone was sitting outside. First we looked for a spot in the conservatory, but with 26° it was quite subtropical, so we asked to eat outside on the terrace. "No problem, plenty of room, just find a table, we will come to you." So we sat and ate wonderfully on the terrace, were spoiled again and great service and hospitality! A nice and cozy experience, highly recommended!

A surprise in terms of food and atmosphere. Recommended.

Delicious food and the service is excellent!!!!!!!! Come back soon 👍👍👍 And that was the next day 😁😁😁

Neat restaurant, excellent food, nice service and very clean toilets.

We had a delicious high tea with a variety of delicious savory and sweet dishes, great, definitely recommended!! Cooking group Heidehuus

Real culinary food with delicious wine sauce

Delicious food and very pleasant and good service.

Everything on the menu in a beautiful dialect, great

Good food, nice service and cozy.

Delicious flamm kuchen! Cheerful service

great place to reward ourselves after walking a beautiful stretch of the Pieterpad

Fantastic place for a nice meal and drinks! De Smoks has an attractive, cozy atmosphere and an extensive menu with something for everyone. The dishes are deliciously prepared, well-seasoned and beautifully presented. The staff are friendly and attentive, making you feel really welcome. The service is smooth and the portions are generous. In addition, the tap is well maintained, ideal for a nice drink with friends or family. Whether you come for lunch, dinner or just a drink, De Smoks is highly recommended. I will definitely come back here more often!

Friendly atmosphere, tasty affordable food, friendly staff.

Delicious food, I had soup beforehand and it was served in a nice, special way. The main course and dessert were also delicious. Nice service.

Very good food, fresh and tasty, and huge portions. I recommend!

Nice place, but it's a pity that you only get pastries when you've finished your coffee.

It was very tasty again. A small downside was that the sorbet contained canned fruit and not fresh fruit.

As usual, very "gezellig". Nice 'Wegwiezers' (deepfried mushrooms) for a starter. Followed by a very tasty steak, and if you want it blue you'll get it blue ;) My favourite dessert: 'Zuut pötje' (creme brulee)

Cozy tent, delicious apple pie. Actually one of the nicer places in Zelhem.

The server is super friendly! The atmosphere is really not bad!

Superb coffee the best in my trip to the Netherlands thank you very much!

Delicious food, friendly service. It was just great. We were staying in a Landal bungalow nearby and found this restaurant via Google, highly recommended!

Had a delicious high tea with friends in a separate area. Super cozy and beautifully decorated both inside and outside. Beautiful steel containers with Mediterranean plants outside. Food was delicious. Definitely worth coming back again.

Not expensive, good service, you're in the right place here

Good food for a reasonable price, extremely friendly service

Staff are always friendly You can sit there comfortably and comfortably Always good service

We just drank coffee. Service was nice and friendly. Coffee was delicious. Gladly again.

Beautiful location, great smooth and courteous service and affordable food

This restaurant's "competitor" is De Groes, across the street, with a large round terrace in the sun. When eating out, as a customer you always have the choice between (among others) these two restaurants. If you choose De Smoks, you choose delicious food, good side dishes and the food is served very nice and original (nice pans, beautiful plates, planks, etc.), it just looks very nice and fun. I also think the quality of the furnishings is excellent (well-fitting chairs, nice sturdy tables, cozy patio chairs, etc.), a real investment has been made in this. I also think that this restaurant handles the reviews very well and seriously, even the less positive ones (to the extent that there are any...). I think this is very commendable and, in my opinion, says something about the passion for the profession and the drive to be hospitable. to be. The owner is almost always present himself, this strikes me. Friendly employees. Make a reservation, because it's always busy! Good price-quality ratio. The downside I always find here is the cramped space upon entering and paying, the bar with cash register is right in front of the entrance, just irritating. Addition in response to your response: certainly, I understand, you seem to complement each other, hence the quotation marks for competitor (both restaurants are always busy).

After a beautiful stage of the Pieterpad we settled in Zelhem for a well-deserved meal at Eeterij and Tapperij De Smoks. What an atmospheric place! We started with a delicious mustard soup, which was not only tasty, but also served in an original way. The menu made us smile, with dishes written in the local dialect – a nice twist! The food was excellent, the atmosphere was pleasantly busy, and we left the restaurant satisfied and happy. The Smoks is highly recommended after a long day of walking!

Delicious food here, friendly staff with a sense of humor!

Very nice and cozy place to eat or have a drink.

Cozy terrace in the middle of Zelhem. Delicious coffee and friendly service.

What a nice restaurant. Excellent service, deliciously prepared "achterhoeks" food. Very nicely located in Zelhem with a beautiful terrace and beautiful conservatory-like roof. Enjoyed. And a nice place to eat out.

Enjoyed a delicious cup of tea and coffee

From the estate t Sikkeler we went here by bike...in any case a very nice route through the forest...We drank a few delicious local beers (blond) and some excellent wines.... as a starter (on the advice of the amiable host) a tasting for 2 people (bruschetta with tomato onion salsa, fried mushrooms with garlic sauce, sandwich with smoked fish... fresh salad and much more... then for one pork tenderloin tips and pork tenderloin pieces and spare ribs and pork belly for the other.... The host had everything perfectly under control and the service was attentive and very friendly....

Lunch with delicious bread is a complete meal.

Delicious food on the beautiful terrace. Friendly staff and a friendly atmosphere.

The food was delicious and the personal very friendly. You feel comfortable there like at home.

Extremely bad food thanks to a lazy and unimaginative chef.

Delicious mushrooms fried in beer batter with garlic sauce

A nice place to stay. Cappuccino is highly recommended, but you can also enjoy delicious food here.

A pleasant and delicious meal from the lunch menu. Very nice names (achterhoeks) of the food.

Always a fantastic experience and I always come back.

Delicious food and excellent service. Price-quality is good

Had a delicious cappuccino. It looks cozy and the service is friendly.

Today June 20, 2024 we had a delicious meal. Both a main course. Super tasty, had 4 types of meat but everything was perfectly prepared. The covered terrace has also been adapted so that you can sit out of the wind. An entrepreneur who looks ahead. Don't sit still but innovate in the restaurant. Everything has also been renovated during corona times. Nice to see. 2023 Another delicious lunch. To be repeated. Nice service. Location was fine. All amenities looked great.

Very nice reception. Already started when making a reservation. Pleasant service, nice and tasty dishes.

Had a delicious meal yesterday. A casual atmosphere in an accessible ambiance. Also a great card with many possibilities. I ordered a ribeye and my table companion something else. In my opinion the ribeye could be baked a little longer so I asked if that was a possibility. The owner unceremoniously offered to simply offer a new piece of meat and it tasted excellent and well prepared. Add a nice glass of wine and enjoy. What I found entertaining about the menu was that the dishes were on the menu in the dialect. And afterwards: the grand dessert! Also for 1 person. I knew that... wonderful!!! Beautifully laid out, a feast for the eyes. I'd love to go there again... if I'm invited again 😉 when I'm in the area. Spent a few wonderful hours in great company and in one attractive restaurant. Top service. Thank you. Recommended!

Very hospitable and the host is a real catering man. Always welcome

The quality of the food was fine. But the total package was not as agreed in advance. The appointment was a brunch buffet: it was not a buffet. It also took a very long time before we could eat. A small dessert buffet was supposed to be included, but because everything took so long, not everyone was present. We also didn't understand why the waiter asked if we wanted any desserts: wouldn't that automatically be included? An allergy and wishes for some sweet toppings had been forgotten to be taken into account. The price per person had also gone up in the time between making an appointment and brunch itself. It would be nice to let you know in advance. There has indeed been a very thoughtful response to this review! 👍🏻

How lucky that we found a place to eat at the very last minute with a group of 12 people. Surprised that I was called to discuss the starting time because we had an excursion after dinner. Very nice welcome and super cozy setting for our group. The biggest plus for me was the thinking along, the feeling that everything was possible without grumbling and of course the delicious food! We enjoyed it and are very grateful for the great service and the delicious ice cream-to-go.

Although the waitress seemed a bit tired, I found her very attractive The food was also fine by the way

Was a bit disappointing. But was also busy.

Tip from a colleague was great!!

Totally fine! Good food, drinks and flat proat'n!

De Smoks in Zelhem is a charming place in this picturesque village. We were welcomed by a funny menu with nice Achterhoek descriptions, which gave a nice twist to our experience. Although we only had a few drinks, we were impressed by the very friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. We heard that they are setting up a deli and are looking forward to opening in mid-2025, where we can hopefully enjoy delicious vegetables, cheeses, meats and ready-made meals. We will definitely come back!

We had a delicious meal here with a fairly large group. We had a so-called 'preuverije', various small starters, various meat/fish dishes and a varied dessert. All equally tasty and generous portions and lots of choice. The service was very friendly and pleasant. Had a very successful evening

Good food, good price quality ratio.

It is a very cozy and atmospheric restaurant. Renovated to meet today's requirements, including sound-absorbing measures on the ceiling. It is nicely located on the village square with church. The service is very pleasant, attentive and certainly not pushy. The menu is very extensive! The food is just good and nice in quantity. Highly recommended!

Delicious food, very friendly service. And our dog was allowed inside without any problem. So hospitable!!!!

Delicious food, original dishes, friendly service

Been before. Cozy place with lovely staff. The food was a little less this time: potatoes not fully cooked. Unfortunately no time to ask for new ones because we had to move on. Better luck next time!

Delicious food, friendly staff. So nice how they serve the Soup great.

Top location and great service. You will not be short of anything here thanks to these great entrepreneurs.

Look at the stars, that says it all!

Had another delicious Christmas dinner and enjoyed the great atmosphere and hospitable service, which is why we have been coming to Zelhem from the west for years!! Summer and winter!!

We had a delicious meal. The only downside was the waitress who was very quick (almost pushy) when taking the time to make a choice for dessert

Delicious meal with good company

Nice meal. Friendly staff. Cozy restaurant.

Vandaag geluncht met kennis. Hadden ruim 4 jaar bij te praten, dat duurde dus wel even.....Hebben heerlijk gegeten en het gevoel dat we alle tijd hadden. En dat is zo fijn, dat je niet het idee hebt dat je "weg gekeken wordt".Aanrader dus ! Gr. Klaaske.

Heerlijke flamkuchen gegeten en ook het broodje tonijn was erg goed.

Genoten van een arrangement. Personeel is erg vriendelijk en professioneel.

Gisteravond met vrienden gedineerd waarvan een persoon glutenvrij. Keurig geregeld alles glutenvrij. Klasse.

Goed gegeten lekkere lokale producten. Goed vlees. Leuke bediening het nagerecht oet et glaske was erg populair.

Puik gegeten. Vriendelijk personeel.

Hier klopt het allemaal...fijne gemoedelijke sfeer, heerlijke gerechten en uitstekende bediening. Het was een mooie ervaring!

Heerlijk gegeten daar. Bediening is top. Tussen de gangen door was de wachttijd vrij lang, maar dat neem ik ze niet kwalijk want de zaak zat goed vol, dus dat zal daar wel mee te maken hebben. Conclusie: lekker eten en heel goed betaalbaar.

Lekker gegeten, mooie sfeer, vriendelijk personeel.

Super gezellige sfeer, Top bediening, geweldig eten.

Gisteren gegeten en het was echt heerlijk!

Mooie locatie en vriendelijke bedienig

Lekker eten en een goede service. Nieuwe menukaart is top

Heerlijk genieten op een groot terras midden in het centrum van Zelhem. Gastvrijheid is uitmuntend en de kaart om te lachen zo goed verzonnen. Had alleen voor mij iets fout besteld maar het eten over het algemeen goed en veel.

Uitstekend gegeten en vriendelijke bediening. Voor herhaling vatbaar. Herhaling geslaagd, nog steeds prima kaart en goed, lekker gegeten.

Superlekker gegeten!Borden zijn ook prachtig opgemaakt ! Top!

Heerlijk gegeten met een fantastische dialect kaart Service en bediening waren ook ok

Goede bediening en heerlijk eten

Geweldig zo als altijd Heerlijk👍🏻👍🏻😋😋😋

Uitstekend restaurant waar mensen werken die hart voor de zaak hebben. Heerlijk gegeten in zeer goede sfeer. De uitbater is er echt voor de bezoekers en maakt een praatje net iedereen.

Leuke en gezellige zaak. Vriendelijke bediening. Geschikt voor met kinderen. Zowel binnen als buiten een goede gelegenheid om te zitten.

Na een Pieterpadwandeling, hebben mijn pa en ik hier uitstekend gegeten. De gerechten waren zeer smakelijk. De porties waren bovendien erg goed. Helaas vergat de ober onze rekening te brengen nadat wij hierom hadden gevraagd. Toen wij bij de kassa wilden betalen, vertelde de ober ons zo te komen helpen. Na vijf minuten wachten besloot diezelfde ober vervolgens om eerst een andere gast (die op dat moment kwam aanlopen) te helpen met afrekenen. Dat was niet zo netjes. Derhalve een puntje aftrek voor service. Al met al een prima ervaring.

Heerlijk, niet standaard eten in een gezellige sfeer. Niet duur . Een aanrader.

Een heel gezellige en sfeer volle restaurant
