Grand Café / Bistro Heren van Houten in Houten Noord-Oost

We always come here for schnitzel when we're on holiday. It's a real insider tip. Every one of the more than 20 varieties is absolutely delicious.

Delicious food, super fresh, cheerful staff, nice music. Totally happy.

Delicious food, friendly service and good vegetarian food too.

Great place, friendly service with good explanations, and delicious raclette! A wonderful experience!

The schnitzel is amazing! The staff is very friendly. We almost have tried all the different schnitzel here!!!

Nice place cozy and always good!

The food was delicious, the service was excellent, the location is beautiful, and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommended!

Great food, good wine and a nice place to have a pleasant evening!

Super fun, cozy and delicious!👍

A very clean restaurant, with friendly and attentive service. The price-quality ratio is excellent. Highly recommended. See you soon, and thank you for the fantastic evening.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 5/5 – Fantastic experience at Bistro Heren van Houten! I just had a delicious meal at Bistro Heren van Houten, and it was truly fantastic! The spareribs were super tender and practically fell off the bone, and the schnitzel was perfectly cooked – crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Just how it should be! Furthermore, the order was ready on time, and the service was friendly and fast. You can tell they really care about quality and the customer. In short: definitely recommended if you love delicious, well-prepared food. I'll definitely be back! 😄🍽️

What a lovely restaurant, good food and service is important to me and that is top here.

Super tasty food, nice staff and great music😉

Top service and delicious food! Definitely recommended for the Houten area and surroundings!!

For years, it's been a great place for drinks and business meetings. A very extensive menu with a great staff who have gradually become friends. Highly recommended! Delicious schnitzels too.

Had a delicious schnitzel last night! The warm pretzel starter and the potato puffs were also very tasty and original. I'll definitely be back to try the other schnitzels.

Nice and above all honest and sincere place with tasty drinks and food.

We had a wonderful evening; the food was delicious and prepared quickly. The service was perfect and very friendly. Nice music and a cozy atmosphere.

Before you even consider dining here or making a reservation, read the owner's responses to the 1- or 2-star reviews. You've been treated rudely and rudely... Luckily, we've experienced this ourselves :)

If you want authentic German/Austrian food: this is the place. We had excellent flammkuchen, schnitzel and currywurst.

Lovely location on the Rond. We were welcomed by a wonderful host who enthusiastically explained the menu and offered helpful dining suggestions. I chose the bean stew myself, even though I'm certainly not a vegetarian, but it was a truly fantastic meal! The trout looked delicious and was beautifully served.

The steak was delicious. We'll definitely be back.

Delicious food, good service and well organised by Social Deal. We will definitely come back here again.

A fantastic and diverse beer menu. And friendly staff!

Cozy terrace Beautiful location

No cooling inside, smokers on the terrace while you are eating. Steak cooked too long but no crispy crust.

Even grabbed a beer on a warm day on the terrace of the Heeren van Houten. Very nice location and friendly staff.

Super fun and what wonderful service #Jane!

A lot of money for the quality of the food. And had to wait a very long time for the food even though it was quiet!

Had a coffee there. There is one of the few pleasant places in Houten.

Decent portions but the sauces tasted sour. That's how it should be because it didn't make me sick. Chocolates were delicious

Nice place, unfortunately we sat inside, the sun just came out on the terrace when we arrived

Had a three-course meal where the flammkuche and schnitzel were good but sticky toffee pie was dry. Fries are not included as standard on the menu, which is strange. It was busy but that meant we had to wait a very long time (+/-1 hour) for our main course.

Nice meal, Turkish schnitsel. Topping was tasty. Furthermore, good quality and service. Definitely going to eat there again.

What a great experience in Houten, never had such a good schnitzel in the Netherlands! Good wine and beer list. Nice terrace. And finally..... the service 👌🏻 perfect. Had a very nice Saturday afternoon.

This is highly recommended! Very easily accessible by train (within walking distance from the station) or by car. Very friendly and helpful service. Ideal place to meet in the center of the country. Easily accessible from all directions. Delicious food, great menu, great evening.

Good experience and great staff, very friendly

Worst cheesecake ever eaten. As if it had been in the refrigerator for weeks. Dirty chai latte was way too sweet. Sorry, but this was really a waste of money

Very friendly service. Vegetable croquettes were delicious and enjoyed the Burgundian Wienerschnitzel (Swiss and Spanish, see photo). The chocolates with the coffee were a tasty surprise.

Very atmospheric. Were received nicely and had a nice spot by the window. Food was very tasty! Service very friendly. The oriental schnitzel menu was very tasty! I thought it was recommended.

Delicious food at a fair price. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere good. Nice and attractively decorated with quiet music in the background. Highly recommended and worth repeating. You can still order tap water yourself at a fair price.

Very tasty "raclette". Nice decor. Excellent service.

Delicious food. Raclette for three of us and one a delicious schnitzel from the menu.

It is wonderful to have lunch there and have a nice drink

Very friendly, hospitable and thoughtful owner. Very discreet handling of specific dietary requirements.

Delicious food with enthusiastic service. Very nice cold tap beer. We will definitely come back!

Nice place. Raclette is highly recommended

Response to owner: Nice to hear what I would have ordered. It would have been better to just apologize. I would never have ordered pepper sauce, but that's besides the point. I notice that as an owner you are always on the defensive. I advise you to take a good look at your restaurant and kitchen, because we both became very ill last night with stomach complaints. I'd like to stay alive, but I won't be back and I won't recommend it to anyone else. I wish you the best of luck with your restaurant and hope that you will learn from the reactions of your customers. I don't need a response back anymore. I just hope that you will do something about it, even for people who work for you. Original message: Nice place, especially for a drink or a drink, but unfortunately I didn't think the quality of the food was great. Beef steak on the dry side and the sauce was very spicy for mushroom sauce. Friendly staff.

Good food, cozy and nice staff.

Good service and friendly employees, will come here again soon!!!

We had a social deal with my sister and father. And we know: then you don't have to expect a 5-star dinner. But the (presumed) owner was so rude. He was very dismissive of us (because we were on a social deal). He then asked if we wanted bread beforehand (yes, delicious), and if we wanted fries or potato salad with the main course. We also chose. But he didn't mention that it was all extra costs! We still spent an extra 20 euros per person on drinks (ridiculous prices) and side dishes. Still an expensive dinner with little choice on the menu. At the end my father even said something about his blunt way of communicating (he shouted from a distance: WE ARE GOING TO CLOSE!) and he did not react sympathetically to that either. All in all, we will never go here again. Too bad, because the food was quite okay.

The best restaurant in Houten. Cesar's salad was amazing, drinks were also tasty. I really miss this place.

Oops I accidentally wrote a review for another tent. This tent was very nice and we ate and drank well. Prices were fine (so not as stated in my old review) Apologies

Fantastic food and drinks. Will definitely come back.

Friendly people, delicious food. I really suggest to try their schnitzel with garlic sauce

Had dinner here with a friend, we sat inside, the atmosphere was great and the staff were friendly and hospitable. Unfortunately the food was not great, the carpaccio was passable but I have eaten better ones. The steak was drowning in the sauce, I had asked for medium but it seemed mostly well done. The latte was very tasty though.

Such a shame for the operators that the weather was terrible. Great location and good map. So don't forget to have lunch. Q

The coffee and dessert are very tasty

Delicious food here, and really great staff! We will definitely come back soon!

Another delicious meal, nice on the terrace!

Always friendly service and fast

Top restaurant, delicious food and friendly employees

Nice central location in the middle of a square. Very friendly service. Decently priced....

On a rainy afternoon in Houten a nice and atmospheric Grand Café called Heren van Houten. In the middle of “het Rond” on the water with a view of the nice center. Delicious bread and the carpaccio was also a good choice! To be repeated.

Nice place close to Houten station. The food was good, there was also a vegan version of the schnitzel that was very tasty, but it's a bit of a shame that you have to pay extra for it (and unfortunately there was no oat milk). Furthermore, the service was excellent, we had a nice time here!

Nice place for lunch, dinner and everything in between. I had a Wienerwald schnitzel with pepper sauce. Very tasty, especially with the homemade fries. I will definitely come back here🥰. There is also a cool terrace outside on the water. Top Location.

Delicious food, nice service recommended

Delicious raclette done on Valentine's Day. The owner and staff provide personal service and do everything they can to ensure you have a pleasant evening.

Very good restaurant! With good food.

Celebrated our friend's birthday here. She was surprised during dessert with singing and an ice fountain. That was fun. The food here is very good and delicious. The service was also good, we received our drinks regularly. However, the time until we got the starter was a bit long. The time between starter and main course also took a little too long. Those delicious flammkuchen had made us very hungry. Fortunately, dessert and coffee didn't take that long. All in all, we had a nice, pleasant, tasteful evening and especially enjoyed the delicious food. In our opinion, all freshly prepared. A thank you to the staff is also appropriate. Helped correctly and professionally. Definitely worth repeating! If we had to give a grade, this experience would get an 8.5

They have a disabled toilet with a changing table. Very clean. Nice service who knows everything about craft beer. Nice beers, delicious food and very well thought out. We had a compliment and just over an hour and we were allowed 2 sandwiches and a soup with that voucher. I had vegetable soup with brunoise carrot, nice to see, it tasted as it should in my eyes with a pea of ​​celery, carrot, leek and celeriac. Pulled pork and carpaccio sandwich. Very tasty. Nice atmosphere with floral wallpaper and relaxed lounge music. Nice chairs. I think we will go by bike this summer when the terrace opens.

Nice central location in Houten. This is the 3rd time I have been here, but for me it is no longer necessary. I don't feel like a guest here every time. When I go somewhere to eat or drink, I want to feel welcome. Haven't had it here until 3 times.

Delicious food, not expensive, friendly and quick service and ideal location opposite the Cinema. To be repeated.

A fried snitzel that tasted a bit stale. The waiter/owner? Threw the food on the table and physically needed a lot of space between the cramped tables. We had to dive every now and then to avoid being hit by the ATM machine sticking out of his pocket. Towels in the toilet. Inhospitable

Delicious lunch. Friendly service.

Just ate. It was very tasty, good service and a nice cozy tent. And cheap!

Although it was a nice place, on that evening, the food was not worth the money and we felt we were not helped well. It seemed like the occupation couldn't really handle it.

Leuke informele lokatie, voor koffie, drankje of lunch. Mooie biertjes, die maandelijks wijzigen.

Een lunch met 20 personen. Goede organisatie, goede sfeer. Eten kwam tegelijk, smaakte uitstekend.

Lekker gelunched. De uitsmijter is een aanrader. Service is goed.

Hele gezellige medewerkers en erg lekker eten.

Great food, atmosphere and friendly staff. Will be coming again!

Heerlijk buiten geluncht. Tafel wiebelde iets maar dat werd netjes opgelost. Het eten smaakte verrukkelijk, broodje pulled chicken. Voor herhaling vatbaar!

Gezellig gezeten, hoewel het niet druk was. Het menu is redelijk geprijsd en de schnitzel eenvoudig. Echter was het eten van mijn partner zo sterk gekruid dat zij er de hele avond veel last van had!

Leuk om hier een keer te hebben gegeten… aardige bediening.

Heerlijk gegeten, super gezellige sfeer. Zeker een aanrader!

Prima restaurant met voldoende keus op de menukaart. Wij zaten op het terras en dat is wel een pré t.o.v. binnen vind ik qua ambiance. Tegelijkertijd hadden we helaas de pech dat er een privé feest was binnen en daar ging alle aandacht van het personeel naar toe. Met als gevolg dat we heel lang (meer dan een uur, vervolgens nog weer een uur op het dessert) op ons eten hebben moeten wachten. Daar kregen we vervolgens wel excuses voor van de gastheer, maar iets van het huis aanbieden was wel op z’n plaats geweest.

Vriendelijk, attent. Proeverij van flamkuche en schnitzel prima, forel niet bijzonder. Leuk terras.

We kwamen hier voor het eerst en hadden geluk dat het mooi weer was zodat we buiten konden eten. Mooi groot terras en stond gezellig opgesteld. De bediening was redelijk snel ondanks de drukte. Vriendelijk en correct. Het eten, forel, schnitzel en biefstuk waren zeer smaakvol. Compliment aan de kok.

Helemaal prima. Echt een uitstekende schnitzel, ik heb in Oostenrijk echt wel mindere gehad. Niet al te groot - voor de liefhebber kun je eenmaal per week onbeperkt schnitzel eten (ik zou dan denk ik anderhalf tot twee redden). Bijgerechten bescheiden, maar de prijs was ook bescheiden en bijbestellen is geen probleem.

Ik kwam hier voor een snelle lunch. Er was voldoende plaats op het terras en het was goed weer, dus ik besloot buiten te gaan zitten. De bediening merkte mij direct op en een drankje kwam snel. Ook de kaart was snel gebracht. Daar ik weinig tijd had en de bedieningsmedewerker de ga tafels keurig op volgorde van aankomst af ging voor de bestelling, vreesde ik het ergste voor mijn snelle lunch. Dus toen hij bij mij kwam vroeg ik hem of het mogelijk was om mijn lunch snel te serveren. Gelukkig bleek ik een schnitzel te willen eten en kon die, bij navraag, binnen vijf minuten wel op tafel staan. De gok maar gewaagd en goed gegokt! Niet alleen kwam het eten snel, het was nog erg lekker ook. Compliment voor het hele team.

Fantastisch goed eten. Goede en vriendelijke bediening Prachtig mooie plek aan het water midden in de stad Houten Een absolute aanrader.

Heerlijk gegeten en gedronken. Top chefkok. Lekkere biertjes en goede service!

Heerlijk gezeten met vrienden. We komen zeker terug voor de goede bierkaart!

Gezellig buiten eten ook als het wat kil wordt bij een soort kampvuurtje in de tafel.

Ik lees veel klachten over de manager. Ik kan me daar bij aansluiten. Meneer vindt zijn eigen reilen en zeilen belangrijker dan de klant. Ik voelde me geen klant en zal hier niet terugkomen.

Heeeerlijke schnitzels! Aanrader.

Hier kan je heerlijke schnitzel eten. Enthousiaste eigenaar !

Fijne plek om te borrelen en bij te kletsen!

Wij hebben savonds boven een potje pool gespeeld, leuk en rustig omdat er één pool tafel staat mmar het laken is oud en de ballen niet schoon. De huur is dan ook echt veel te hoog. Voor €10 per iur speel je ergens anders op n betere tafel.
