Het Ei van Columbus in Beekbergen en omgeving

What a lovely atmosphere! I might have mentioned when booking that I didn't want to sit near the toilets, but we had a great seat. The atmosphere is truly fantastic! The food was delicious! Absolutely fantastic, and that was true for all four of us. A nice menu, not too fancy, but a signature dish. And for those who really want something simple, there's also satay on the menu. The service was okay to excellent, and it was completely full, so we weren't in a hurry. The friendliness was excellent. The English-speaking staff, along with the Dutch-speaking staff, caused some confusion, but no problems. I'll be back!

We had dinner with four people tonight. The restaurant is very atmospheric and the food was delicious. The service could be a bit sharper, but it was certainly very friendly.

Cozy, cozy restaurant. Be careful in the dark when walking from the parking lot to the entrance.

We came here often because we have a cottage at the bungalow park. It was always great. Only yesterday we had a completely different experience. The food was still excellent, though. There were four of us there. One of our orders hadn't come through correctly. So the other three had already finished their food, and then number four's food arrived. The staff didn't really understand it because they were all foreigners. The guy in charge (I think) said he couldn't do much about it. We did get the last round of drinks on the house, so he handled that pretty well. We're wondering what happened to this place. Maybe a different owner? In short, we went home unhappy.

Incredibly delicious food with fries and salad, and a free sandwich to start. Very friendly staff. It's a shame these young people are judged for not speaking Dutch well. They really try their best, are polite, and friendly. The owner is also very friendly. The restaurant is cozy, highly recommended!

On the way home, I stopped at the Egg of Columbus. Beautifully situated restaurant. Delicious food. The service was very friendly. Highly recommended!

I can't write a review. We couldn't find a parking spot and drove on.

Nice and cozy place to eat. Atmosphere full of friendly staff.

Great service, superb food, friendly staff

The menu on the website isn't always up to date. We had a delicious meal, but it wasn't our first choice.

What a charming and cozy restaurant! From the moment we walked in, we felt instantly welcomed by the friendly staff. The service was fast. The wine was delicious and perfectly paired with the dishes. The kitchen surprised us with flavorful and beautifully presented dishes that were clearly prepared with care. A place where you can truly enjoy a night out, and where we will definitely return. Highly recommended!

We ate here last night with the whole family, it was very tasty and we had a great time!!!!

We had a lovely evening. Friendly staff, delicious food, and a positive atmosphere!

Enjoy it every week. I come back here every week, and that says it all. The staff is incredibly friendly and always up for a friendly chat. You immediately feel welcome, as if you're joining friends. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, the kind of place you'd love to linger. The terrace is especially fantastic on summer days. What a beautiful setting! And the food? Always delicious. Good quality, prepared with care. Highly recommended.

What a super cozy restaurant. The food was delicious! I recommend the steak sambal!! 😍 The service was super friendly and very welcoming! We will definitely be back!!

Highly recommended! What a wonderful place to eat. The carpaccio was truly delicious, perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. And the steak sambal… that's truly my favorite. I order it every time, and it's always fantastic. Cooked perfectly, deliciously spicy, and full of flavor. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy: warm, cozy, and welcoming. The service is friendly, spontaneous, and genuinely interested. You immediately feel welcome. In short: a wonderful evening out, time and time again. I love coming here.

We always liked coming here; it was a very good restaurant. We were here last week and what a disappointment! There were three young people of foreign descent serving. I'm not racist, but when you can't communicate with them properly, I find it rather annoying. The menu was small; the day before, there was a different menu online! There were also no options to change the menu. For example, there was a steak with béarnaise sauce on the menu; we didn't think that was the best choice for steak, so we asked for pepper sauce or mushroom sauce; it wasn't an option. So we ordered satay instead; we got one skewer... And the fries arrived a good 5 minutes later; if you have to wait for them, your meat is already cold. The wine we ordered was supposed to be a Shiraz, at €5.50 per glass. For that price, you expect some good quality; it tasted like cheap table wine. Certainly not a Shiraz. People at the table next to us received a cabbage salad with their meal, which contained at least two handfuls of raisins. They sent it back in disgust, but it was silently taken away, and there was no further response, no other salad or anything. The owner came to ask if everything had been to our liking, and when we said we weren't that enthusiastic, she reacted grumpily and haughtily and quickly walked away from our table. What a shame for this once fantastic restaurant, where we loved to go, even at Christmas, but now we left as quickly as possible, and they won't see us again.

From top restaurant to rock bottom Used to be a top restaurant, now a huge disappointment. Inexperienced staff who barely spoke Dutch, no consideration for allergies ("just pick out the nuts"), and a rude and unsympathetic owner. The Shiraz we ordered tasted like Merlot, but was sharply denied. The dishes are mediocre, and the atmosphere is gone. We skipped dessert, didn't tip, and will never return.

The food was absolutely delicious, but it's a shame the staff wasn't polite and very disinterested, and they didn't dress properly. There were also a lot of fruit flies, perhaps due to the seven tables that weren't cleared. We won't be back, but compliments to the chef(s)—the food was definitely worth 4.5 stars.

Very poor and unfriendly service. Drinks still need to be served, and the food wasn't worth the money. Never again.

Very unfriendly hostess/owner. Not recommended for a party.

Not bad, but not great either. The food was just fine, but not particularly delicious. The service was a bit unfriendly. Long waits even though it wasn't too busy, and there was simply little attention paid to the guests. I wouldn't eat there again anytime soon, but if you're in the area, it's perfectly fine for a one-time visit.

Overall, the food was fine, but there's room for improvement. The carpaccio had far too much Parmesan cheese, which overpowered the flavor. The steak sambal had a very greasy sauce, though the steak was cooked well and tasted good. The fries were good. The mushroom dish was prepared incorrectly, which they pointed out and resolved promptly. The ice cream dessert had melted and was replaced, which was also handled very nicely. Not a highlight tonight, perhaps just a coincidence.

We had a wedding party there. The service was behind the bar. Not handy with 150 guests. The limited snacks were not served logically: if a dish runs out at a table, you have to start the next round at that table!

Were here for family party. Food good.

Het Ei van Columbus ligt in een prachtige omgeving. Het eten was ook van voldoende kwaliteit en het personeel was vriendelijk. Er was echter terwijl wij aan het eten waren ook een bruiloft in een ruimte naast het eetgedeelte, en de deuren daar naar toe waren open. Dit gaf naarmate de avond vorderde veel overlast. Ik ben van mening dat je dit de restaurantgasten niet aan kunt doen. We wilden graag nog wat langer blijven, maar toen de dj van het bruidspaar helemaal losging, zijn we snel vertrokken. Jammer, want we kwamen allemaal van ver.

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere and friendly service. In short, I could not think of anything negative

Delicious food and friendly staff. Unfortunately sometimes a long wait for service, purely due to staff shortages.

Had a great meal at Het Ei van Columbus. We just arrived to grab a bite to eat and without a reservation. Despite the crowds, we were warmly welcomed and a spot was created for us. Then we enjoyed the food. Pleasant staff and delicious food, what more could you want? Recommended!

Warmly welcomed, top location, top service and delicious food.

Due to staff shortages it was only possible to be spoken to in English, broken English. Due to this staff shortage it was also not possible to sit outside on a warm evening 'we do not have service outside'. If you do not raise your hand no one comes to ask if you want to order a new drink or if everything is to your liking. Very unfortunate for such a beautiful location

This is just a very nice restaurant, the food and service is above average! “Steak Sambal” is an absolute must!

Great restaurant in a beautiful location. Varied dishes on the menu. Tasty and a good price-quality ratio.

Quite expensive. First time ever that our family of four spent more than 200 euros. A small downside was that the Pana cotta was cinnamon flavored, instead of the normal caramel. At a fairly classic French restaurant that came as a sad surprise. Everything else was really great! Lovely people, nice atmosphere and delicious food. We saw people with a dog, so they are also welcome.

Delicious food and friendly staff!

Good food, great drinks, adequate service.

Delicious food, enthusiastic service, wine was great, definitely worth eating here.

Delicious food, excellent service!

Very nice restaurant in the middle of the woods. The staff is great and the food is even better than great. We had our wedding day here and it went perfectly thanks to the staff. Unfortunately they no longer serve lunch, otherwise I would have come here more often.

Conviviality through and through, good and tasty food. Friendly staff. Worth repeating.

The only downside: we had to wait quite a while before the menu was brought out. Only saw few waiting staff, that may have something to do with it.

Heerlijk gegeten! Vooraf de carpaccio, gewoon zoals een carpaccio hoort te zijn, en steak tartaar. Dat was een beetje een ikea-ervaring: alle ingrediënten los en assembleer zelf maar. Gelukkig bleven er geen schroefjes over ;) Maar tip: gewoon opdienen zoals de chef vindt dat het hoort. Daarna de biefstuk, prima gebakken en lekker mals, en de boneless ribs. Heerlijk mals, zacht en lekker van smaak. Tempo lag precies goed, ondanks dat het goed vol zat.

For the 3rd time here for dinner.. Very friendly personal! Good food! Dog friendly and children friendly! Pity that Tiramisu was not on the menu, in the rest was everything 5 star!

Cozy and delicious steak. Friendly staff. Some are a little inexperienced, but because of the friendliness it doesn't matter. Delicious food

Beautiful and delicious restaurant to eat at Service is friendly and hospitable

Port sauce with the brisket is recommended!

Top restaurant with good food and nice service. The owners Jeroen and Willemijn are two nice people with an eye for the customer. Something that is sometimes lacking in a massive restaurant. If you want a tasty and enjoyable meal, Columbus' Egg is the right place for you!

great atmospheric restaurant. Delicious dishes and friendly prices. knowledgeable staff. Also possible to throw parties and completely arranged through various packages, highly recommended👌

I got the christmas special, carpaccio as a starter, which was delicious, duck, which sadly was precut, making it dryer than it should've been. And as for dessert i got the "chef special" which cosisted of a dense brownie which was delicious, some vanilla ice cream, and some sort of pudding with a very sour "jam" on top. Overall, it was a nice experience and would recommend going atleast once.

Had a nice evening here with colleagues, we had a very good meal, especially the tastings were delicious, friendly staff and a good atmosphere in the restaurant.

Delicious food, very friendly staff, nice atmosphere. We would love to come back

Van oudsher the place to be for your kippie

Heerlijk gegeten en geholpen door een vriendelijke jongedame in de bediening, er ontbrak echter wat. Daarom vriendelijk gevraagd aan de gastvrouw/eigenaresse of er geen groente bij de sate werd geserveerd. "Bij de Sate komt kroepoek, atjar en uitjes maar er word geen groente bij geserveerd". Friet werd wel geserveerd en ook dat stond niet op de menukaart. Huh? "Bij andere gerechten word wel groente geserveerd". Menu gecheckt maar ook bij deze gerechten geen groente. "Als u dat had gewild had u dat kunnen bestellen". Oh maar dat staat niet op de menu kaart! "Dat kunt u altijd vragen". Wij doen dit al 25 jaar zo en weg was ze de vriendelijke gastvrouw NOT Was daarom de rest van het restaurant leeg?? Heel dit bizar dit.

Reservering zonder reden door restaurant geannuleerd. Met alleen een kort mailtje. Moet je zelf achter aan bellen als je een reden wilt weten...? Belachelijk

Good atmosphere, friendly staff. Everything had been thought of! Delicious food 🤩

Food was very good, but service took ages. They only brought the food menu after bringing the drinks, which already took some time, and I'd say we then waited around 30mins for the food. I believe the kitchen was quite busy and that might have been the reason, but could have mentioned it. Would recommend, but bare in mind that it could take some time...

Super location, I can recommend it to everyone

Delicious food, remarkably friendly service! Unfortunately it is a bit noisy, but that's what happens when the place is full. We will definitely come back again.

Nice meal. Menu of the week. Was just enough.

Had a great wedding. Well cared for, cozy and delicious! Compliments on how it was arranged.

Great location where you will receive a warm welcome. The food and service are great!

Coffee was way too strong and service was not quick during a party

Good steak tartare, well cooked duck breast and nice ambiance

Service and ambience were great, unfortunately the food couldn't keep up. Unfortunately, the food was nothing special, beautifully prepared, but the taste was okay without being brilliant.

Totally speaking. Friendly and good. We had beef tenderloin satay and it was super tasty. Main course and dessert price also good.

We hebben er gisteravond voor de tweede keer gegeten. Alleen al de omgeving is prachtig. Je kunt er zowel buiten als binnen zitten, de sfeer is goed. Zowel de kabeljauw als de eendenborst smaakten heerlijk. Borden mooi opgemaakt, lekkere frietjes erbij, en heerlijke wijnen.

Het restaurant was erg gezellig met een erg goede gastvrouw het eten was echter zeer teleurstellend. Ik had een Thaise salade die bleek te bestaan uit een berg rucola, twee tomaatjes en kipnuggets er was niks Thais aan. De frietjes en het voorgerecht waren ook zeer teleurstellend. Jammer!

Everything great. Luckily we had reserved, everything was fully booked. Therefore the waiting time was a little longer, but that was completely okay. The food was delicious and the wait was definitely worth it. There is a jumping cushion and a large meadow for the kids to run around on. Dogs are very welcome. All in all it was a really nice evening.

We had very nice hours..nice ladies in the service..the mustard soup with pieces of apple..particularly tasty! Starter, main and dessert for a normal price 😊The terrace was completely full...that says enough. Toppers!

Excellent welcome, the waitresses take great care. Furthermore, the meal was excellent, perfect cooking for meats and vegetables. An excellent discovery 👍

The food was delicious! The service was great! Even though the terrace was full, I don't know inside, everyone was helped quickly! Nice music too!

Delicious food! Definitely worth repeating.

Too bad about the main road nearby. We sat outside. Furthermore, great, very cozy inside and top service.

Super cozy restaurant with beautiful terrace. Friendly service and delicious food. We opted for the weekly menu with sukade. We had a great time.

If you want to enjoy exceptionally good food, this is the place to be. As a starter we had a game board and the spicy shrimps. The two of us shared this. What a wonderful sensation of different flavors and snacks. Our main course was the duck breast. Garnished with various vegetables (chicory, beans, carrot, zucchini, pepper). Super tender meat cooked just right. The fries served in a nice bag on stand were delicious. Cappuccino and French Coffee for dessert. There was a beautiful glass with various chocolate treats. The waitresses did an excellent job and were very friendly and attentive. We arrived at half past six (busy time when it comes to serving food) and there were about fifteen tables occupied, three of which were larger groups. Despite this, the various courses were served neatly and on time. There was no sign of any fuss or stress among the ladies. Everything went in a calm and smooth manner. Hats off. This also applies to the cook/owner (and his assistants) and the barmaid/owner. You as an entire team deliver a top performance. It is a joy to experience this, because it is not about the food alone, but the whole thing. And all that in a beautiful setting.

Waited more than an hour for a dry pork tenderloin satay. It was a disappointment

Nice restaurant, good nice service. Delicious food, plenty of choice. Sufficient parking at the restaurant.

Reserved in advance. Together we ordered the truffle pasta as a main course and a crème brûlée and a dame blanche for dessert. No bread or anything like that was served beforehand. The truffle pasta was served with a bag of fries, a very strange combination. The amount of truffle paste was apparently the reason for this. As a chef, you really can't think of a better addition. For example, a nice salad. While waiting for dessert, the cook announced that he had not had time to prepare the crème brûlée. Because there was no other alternative besides ice cream, we also skipped dessert, because otherwise I would have only had dessert. When we got the bill at home, we discovered that €20.95 had been charged for the truffle pasta and not the €18.95 stated on the menu. Therefore, €4.00 too much was charged. The controls seem messy. Columbus' egg was lost here, so no return guarantee for us.

The Egg of Columbus is actually always good. Not a very large menu but enough choice. Fine.

Not an extensive menu, but it is tasty.

We had made a reservation for 6 people on Friday evening, confirmed by The Fork. Upon arrival it turned out that a wedding was taking place. The reception was quite blunt. 'You cannot have made a reservation, you are not welcome. I hope you can find something else, bye There you are... no excuse or alternative. This was the last time.

It was a pleasant, friendly atmosphere. Good food and the house wine (merlot) was surprisingly good.

A really top restaurant. I've been here before and it's always good. Whether outside on the cozy terrace or inside in the romantic atmosphere, it is always good here. Not a super extensive menu, but what is on it is nicely put together and of good quality. If you like walking, there is a beautiful piece of forest across the road with a route of about 5 km. That does work up the appetite

Delicious food, friendly staff.

Wij hadden 1 dag van te voren gereserveerd. Niet wetende dat het restaurant vol zat met een feest en we werden opgepropt in een soort zijvleugel. Tafeltjes stonden heel kort op elkaar en de muziek veel te hard. Bestek moesten we vragen en lang op wachten. Wijn werd niet geserveerd. Friet was te kort afgebakken en niet lekker. Serveerster was behoorlijk onvriendelijk en zeker niet gastvrij. Wij komen nooit meer terug! Wij hebben zeker totaal andere ervaringen gehad in het verleden

Our egg is broken, there was a sign outside saying welcome. But unfortunately they were not open because they had been open on Monday. It's a pity that this is not indicated anywhere, so now we have a fried egg at home

wanted to eat there on Wednesday but were told they were closed because they had already been open on Monday. There was a sign outside that said open Wednesday to Sunday. a pity.

Excellent price and quality for the products they offer. Atmosphere in the restaurant is okay

Friendly staff, nicely decorated and such an atmosphere. I enjoyed the food. Not a bad word to say about it, highly recommended!

Heerlijk gegeten. Er hangt een prettige, warme sfeer en de dames van de bediening zijn stuk voor stuk vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De borden mooi opgemaakt en alles smaakte goed. Een absolute aanrader!

Top location for brunch and dinner

Very nice restaurant with excellent food and very friendly service!

Christmas Eve was delicious and very enjoyable. Price-quality ratio is excellent in my opinion. Starters and main courses were top notch. Dessert, merengue with vanilla ice cream and red fruit, I would have chosen some fresh red fruit if I were the cook. Friendly service. We will definitely come back.

Egg of Columbus, great restaurant. Cozy atmosphere, cozy interior. Friendly service. Good menu with selected dishes. Quality very good. Excellent price/quality. Reservations are required.

Always a varied menu with delicious dishes.

It was a nice party for my parents-in-law and it was very well organized

Delicious food, beautifully prepared, good prices, friendly service and cozy seating, will come more often and will definitely come back

Ambience is promising. Beautiful garden with inviting lights, the decor of the restaurant is also very warm and cozy. When we saw the menu we also became enthusiastic. Beautiful dishes with an eye for the environment, lots of game. That promised something! My husband ordered a venison steak with truffle sauce and I ordered a venison and wild boar stew. We also had starters, which were quite reasonable. The main courses, on the other hand, were very disappointing. The truffle sauce came straight from a jar or bag. There was nothing fresh about that. Very tasteless. The same applied to the red cabbage that was served with the stew, a pot from Hak tastes better. The presentation also left much to be desired. The stew had flopped onto the plate after being heated in the microwave for a long time, given the dried out edges. On top of that a few tasteless balls of mashed potatoes and that was it. The aperol spritz tasted great, but you can't mess up much with it. Except for the wilted sprigs of mint that had been deposited inside. Furthermore, friendly service, nothing to complain about. What was a shame was that our reservation was not recorded, which seemed clumsy. Too bad, in terms of ambience and location it really is a restaurant with potential, but ultimately we come for the food and that was a real disappointment.

Gezellig, gemoedelijk, lekker eten en heerlijke wijn. Alles voor een redelijke prijs. Het wild was echt goed van smaak.

Gezellige eetgelegenheid waar vriendelijk personeel geweldig eten serveert.
