Het Hart van Vlaardingen in Centrum

Left after 15 minutes, no help was given and too much noise, you couldn't hear each other

The apple pie was ice cold...the cheesecake tasteless...the truffle chocolate cake was exquisite. The coffee was good.

Enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere immensely: we will definitely come back again!

Today was my last time. I met up with a friend who was already there with her coffee, and we sat at her table. The (few) staff walked by without attending to us. Five or six minutes later, a couple sat down at the next table, and a waitress came to serve them within a minute. We were left standing next to them with nothing... We waited another five minutes, and in the end, we paid for our friend's coffee. The person who came to collect payment didn't even seem to notice that the rest of us hadn't ordered anything, and that was that. We continued eating and drinking for another two hours at a nearby place, where we received excellent service. Like I said... never again.

Upon arrival, no mention was made of closing time. We were directed to a spot on one side of the bar because the other side was being prepared for Christmas dinner. Understandable, but the four ladies were only focused on setting tables and not on customers. When they did check on us, it was like, "When are you leaving? We have to set that table too." My advice for Christmas is to close at 4 p.m. so you have plenty of time to set the tables, but this time I felt ignored. We often enjoy coming here, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case this time.

Beautiful place, friendly staff who also have a sense of humor. I go there regularly.

Nice atmosphere inside, cozy. We had the Bavette, Risotto with bavette and spare ribs. The bavette was of pretty good quality, cooked as asked. Not super tender but ok so I’d give it a 7.5. The spare ribs same grade, very nicely marinated. The risotto (forrest mushrooms) was not good….. period. In the sense that it was just flavorless, a little mushroom taste. So grade 5 . We made a comment about it for the chef to know. The staff in the end took some drinks of our bill. Not necessary but a very friendly gesture. I do hope they fix this dish. Deserts were ok, we would do the dame Blanche more traditional. Grade 7. If we could give 3.5 stars overall we would have, but now we wanted to err to the lower side. All in all a pretty good restaurant with nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

A lovely restaurant with a warm atmosphere. Fast service! We had a delicious lunch.

Cozy restaurant, very friendly staff, though pricey. As far as I'm concerned, the classic method of blanching is fine.

We had a baby shower high tea here, which was very well taken care of.

I had a lovely lunch here with former colleagues. As always, the food was delicious and friendly. The service was excellent.

Friendly service. But the food wasn't what I expected.

The food here is great! Especially the spare ribs.

We had a lovely lunch, the service was friendly, but the wine was quite expensive. A small glass of Malbec for €6.25!

High tea was okay, but I wouldn't go back for it. It's also not very easy to get to, as the entrance isn't wheelchair accessible.

We had the midday snack, the croque de luxe, a coke, and mint tea. We were charged €37.50 (including tip) for this. I'm very sorry, but I'm increasingly amazed by the prices in restaurants. It's truly bizarre what you pay for a small brown sandwich with carpaccio, a similar sandwich with croquette, and a small cup of bell pepper soup. And a grilled cheese sandwich with some tomato and herbs in between, oh, and not to forget a coke and mint tea.

Crowded and noisy... The table we were offered didn't meet our expectations, we weren't offered a menu, and we were left to our own devices. I decided against it, and we left after a long wait...

Cozy, semi-covered area. Lower than the streets in the neighborhood. Lots of different shops. Pleasant atmosphere.

Cozy place, in the middle of Vlaardingen, nice staff, good dishes

Very cozy restaurant. A nice menu with both standard and surprising dishes. Friendly staff!

Nice, friendly service, food was very good.

Het Hart remains a wonderful spot in Vlaardingen for a cozy lunch or a late-night drink on the lovely terrace. Centrally located in the town center, it's easily accessible by public transport, and offers ample (paid) parking nearby. The menu offers plenty of variety, and the food is excellent! There are seating areas with heaters on the terrace, making it a great place to relax later in the evening. The staff is friendly and helpful, though they can sometimes get busy chatting with guests in the evenings. This may mean a slightly longer wait, but that shouldn't spoil the fun!

The menu changes, which is a shame because favorite dishes disappear. Most of the staff are attentive and friendly, except for one rather overly smart woman.

Enjoy a drink and a guilty pleasure snack platter outside on the terrace. Friendly staff.

It was fine, only everything takes a bit longer than average.

Lovely outdoor terrace with hospitable and friendly service, beautiful view, lovely place to relax

Cozy place with friendly staff.

We had a delicious meal, and the spicy flatbread with the chili shrimp is a real bonus! We didn't have to wait too long: the appetizer and main course arrived in a good hour and a half, even though it was busy! The service was excellent, and they checked in with us neither too often nor too little. A great experience!

Lunch was delicious, service was quick, excellent, friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere. A top location, highly recommended. Best regards, H.J.

Cozy location. Good food and friendly staff. I go there regularly. Enjoy a nice beer on the terrace. I was surprised when my Affligem Blond on tap suddenly came in a regular beer glass. It was a 20cl beer glass, and it was neatly placed on top. The week before, they served the same beer in a goblet glass. That's how it should be to enjoy something (capacity between 25 and 30cl). The price was the same, though. A perfect example of shrinkflation. A 20% price increase!!!! It's a shame, isn't it? (I called. The response was even more depressing. That's just how it goes.)

Fine, nothing special. Standard menu, and sometimes you have to ask for drinks yourself.

Ordered several starters and sushi and shared them. The food was good, but the service was very disappointing. Some dishes were no longer available, orders that go wrong or take too long.

There is not much choice in terms of non meat option...the vegetarian risotto was full of oil and flavourless which was so disappointing ...it's a nice looking place and the staff were friendly enough...

Good and cozy atmosphere. My wife and I went for breakfast via social deals and this was really great delicious. Also the service is super relaxed, which makes the atmosphere also relaxed. We will definitely go there again

Only had a drink, but super friendly staff. Saw some nice plates of food passing by. Definitely come back to eat

Good food, service is fast and friendly.

Visit to Het Hart van Vlaardingen was downright bad. Food Tasteless, lukewarm and seemed more like reheated than freshly prepared. Service Staff was disinterested and rude. They hardly looked after the guests. Atmosphere: Unsociable, messy and without atmosphere. It felt like you were not welcome. This was a real waste of my time and money. Absolutely not recommended.

Very disappointing. Bad food, slow and unfriendly service.

Just good food, great atmosphere and nice chat. Just good!

Delicious, well-prepared high tea. More than enough to eat and delicious! Good price/quality ratio.

Very good staff, and they do a great job in terms of food and drinks.

Known by many names, now a different owner, nice decor, different menus, nice service, nice lunch.

Best burger 🍔 😋 around for sure Cool place

Value for money. Nice breakfast. I didn't even get all that much.

Cozy tent along the road. Enjoy the terrace. Food is delicious and atmosphere is cozy. Top staff.

My table companion has lactose intolerance and this was dealt with very well. Kudos to the staff! The staff are also very friendly and the food was delicious. I had fresh tuna salad and it tasted great too. That is not the case everywhere. So great! Thank you

presentation of 2 croquettes with bread is really sad. then better go to the snack bar!

I ordered a sandwich avocado with salmon, When i took my last bite i saw a little worm. I told the staff and they did nothing about it. I didn’t even ask for something new, just told them to check it so other people wouldn’t get sick. I also wanted my money back but that also didn’t happen. Very sad about that, because i loved to go to this place.

Cozy furnishings. Excellent food, quick service.

Super fun and delicious food!! and very sweet, nice service!

The food was mediocre. Meat was little for what you had to pay for it. The food was also lukewarm for 2 companions. We did eat it because the taste was good. This was passed on. We were 6 people. The dish the three of us had chosen did not come with fries. Because we wanted fries with it, it cost €4.50 per portion The other 3 people had fries with their dish, even though those dishes were much cheaper. Weird system this!! Either there are fries with every dish, or you have to pay for the fries with every dish. Service was super friendly and a nice atmosphere. This afternoon we wanted to have a drink on the terrace. Found a table but there was still food leftovers on the table. Apparently no cloth is wiped over the table when removing the dishes. Point of attention!!! It took a while before we got the attention of the waitresses (while it wasn't busy) they walked straight past you. Also a Points of Attention! The rest went smoothly.

Great atmosphere and food neat and tasty. Interior very dark, toilets clean, very loud music. Price mid.

Good food whatever time you come in.

Nice tent. Coincidentally on the way and we still had to eat. Later we found out that it was cheaper to use the fork. Friendly staff

We enjoyed our Sunday lunch here, a very good sandwich and coffee.

Het Hart van Vlaardingen is a very cozy restaurant with very cheerful, pleasant and knowledgeable staff. The food is varied, there is something for everyone and it is all equally tasty. Definitely recommended to eat once!

It is an ideal place to have a drink. A cozy atmosphere and the 🍹 was very delicious. In addition to the patatas bravas, which had little in the way of bravas. But considering that I don't like the original patatas bravas, they were delicious. The only downside was that it was a little busy and they forgot the potatoes the first time I ordered them. But the staff is very friendly

Delicious lunch, beautiful place

Cozy restaurant with a very friendly waiter, sweet to our children, food was good. Would love to come back here.

Delicious "adapted" meal due to allergies. Wasn't a problem. I will definitely come back here, highly recommended

Ate here last night, I found it a bit disappointing, the spot where we sat, in the middle of the shop, right at the door when you enter, in winter there is always cold air coming in and people standing directly behind you. I don't think this place is suitable! We went for share dinning, but that wasn't there at all, or couldn't be found on the menu, so you each ordered one main course and we could divide it ourselves, each with our own plate or change plates..., but that's what share dinning is like. In my opinion not. Chose the spareribs but there was very little meat in them and the fries were cold. This is a bit of a shame. I wouldn't choose the restaurant for dinner again. Don't miss out for a drink because the cocktails were beautifully served! We saw it at the others.

Lunch was nothing special. Soup was lukewarm and more salad like carpaccio on the sandwich.

Excellent lunch with very friendly staff. Open kitchen where people work hard and neatly! Compliments and definitely worth repeating.

Had a really nice afternoon! Celebrated our birthday with my best friends. They even put up balloons. What a beautiful place, delicious food and super friendly staff. High tea is highly recommended (and so are the cocktails haha) thanks!

Friendly welcome and excellent service. I will definitely come back.

Nice atmosphere and vibe, quick in service

The welcome was very friendly and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. The only minor downside was that the controls were not completely coordinated; forgot an order. Nevertheless, the food was really good and delicious in taste. Definitely recommended if you are in the area! It definitely makes it worth it.

An average of 4.1 is too low for this top restaurant! Very attractive restaurant, richly decorated, with good service and above all delicious food! The satay is highly recommended. Nice music too. A place to sit for a long time and come back again!

Delicious high tea Well cared for Super friendly service

Delicious for lunch. I like coming there. I personally don't like dinner. Maybe another chef? No idea.

I recommend that you check your bills as they will show what you did not order.

delicious food and perfect service. Was with a friend who has to eat gluten-free, but it was perfectly arranged and checked with the chefs and adjustments were made where possible.

Cozy and beautiful place in the center of Vlaardingen. Good and friendly service. Now sitting inside, but when the weather is nice you can also sit outside on the terrace.

I maybe just had bad luck, but bland fish, undercooked couscous and a very salty sauce. My friends did like their food, the dessert was very nice!

We thought we would have a pleasant evening with good food on the occasion of two birthdays. It was not exactly a warm welcome because people immediately complained about the fact that we came in with 13 instead of 12 people. This could cause major problems for the kitchen for the lady in question, as they had purchased for 12 people. Is it special that a kitchen depends on 1 extra person? And why did you buy it for 12 people? We didn't have a pre-discussed menu? Then we were helped the entire evening by a waitress with a ponytail and a long face who clearly wanted us to leave as quickly as possible. We were hardly asked if we wanted something to drink and when she came it was “do you need anything?”. A boy who helped us did his best and remained friendly. In short, it put a damper on the evening and we left after paying a bill of no less than €700! We will never come here again!

I just spontaneously walked in here on a Sunday afternoon and took a seat on the heated terrace outside. Very friendly service and very accommodating. We saw bread with beef croquettes on the menu, but we really fancied fries too. Our waitress said no problem, I'll just serve the croquettes with fries. Simply TOP and what delicious croquettes too! Excellent wine served with it, all in all very satisfied with both the friendly service and the food!

Very cozy grand café, friendly service and excellent food. We enjoyed it with the whole family.

Overall a very nice establishment. Enjoyed the breakfast multiple times already. They offer vegan options as well.

Bad service, way too expensive. We left hungry because the waiter didn't think it was necessary to help us any further. It's that my friend had the courtesy to pay for the overpriced drink, but if you ignore me twice when I beckon you. Can you kiss my ass for me! What a place to cry about!!

We ordered lemonade when we wanted to order food, my girlfriend called the waiter 3 times, they see it but turn their heads away and they don't come, rude behavior when people want to order something and the staff does not respond, but when paying € Asking 7.50 euros for 2 x lemonade, he knew what it cost and just said something. IN SHORT, 1 BIG PLEA I WOULD GIVE THE SERVICE A REFRESHER COURSE IN PEOPLE'S BIDS.. REPORT FIGURE A VERY THICK 1 BUNCH OF BUNCHES

We had a delicious meal here on the terrace outside. Nice friendly service.

07.09 sat outside on the terrace, good balance between sun and shade. In terms of maintenance and cleaning, the terrace could be improved slightly, bird droppings on the sofa and dirty parasols and tiles. The service was good! Young, friendly and helpful, no long wait at all to order. Neat attention to the guest. In terms of food, perhaps a little more balance, risotto is a lot and the steak is minimal. The overall picture is good, very satisfied guest!

Delicious food and a nice atmosphere here

Food is generally tasty! Only last time the hamburger was still completely red on the inside. The service is much worse in the evening than during the day, you are simply not asked a second time if you want a drink. Not even if your glasses have been empty for half an hour and you're trying to get your attention. Missed opportunity as far as I'm concerned. The service is much better at lunch!

The food (chicken satay with fries & salad) was disappointing, the satay sauce was dry and the salad was very little e.g. Friendly staff & good location

Lovely restaurant for a well tasting diner. Friendly staff. Menu options for vegetarian choices are minimal. Had a mistake made in my order but after mentioning it they quickly corrected the order.

It feels like coming home every time. What great service and a super nice atmosphere. Compliments to the kitchen again!! Delicious and see you soon

Beautiful terrace, delicious fresh mint tea, friendly help

For a birthday with 4 people, we had dinner at Hart van Vlaardingen. Nice restaurant, good cozy atmosphere. Service was fine. We had the bavette. Was delicious meat, well cooked. Dorade and diamond hare was also very tasty. Prices are in good proportion. In short, you can eat well and deliciously here.

Come there regularly for a drink.

Nice terrace, good food, good service and the staff is always very nice.

It takes time until you get your food. The breakfast was kind of okay but expensive according to what I paid. The place is cozy

Nice place and from what I've heard it has become even better than it already was in recent years. If it is busy you have to wait a while until something is served. However, this is the case in many restaurants these days.

11-06-2024 This evening I tried the high cocktail with a friend. What a success this was. We had three courses, each course with a different cocktail and a different flavor package. I myself have a nut allergy and this has been fully taken into account. Really highly recommended. If you want to have a nice evening with friends or your loved one and enjoy yourself, then you should definitely do this!! 🍸 M

The best restaurant in Vlaardingen! The food is delicious and decently priced, service is friendly and the restaurant looks and feels chic and cozy. We can highly recommend the ribs and burger, they're fantastic!

Always nice at Het Hart.. friendly service and good food. Haven't had any bad experiences here.

If you order food you have to order your fries separately and if you order a beer you get the wrong glass. The service is reasonable, but if you order fish you need a fish knife and not an ordinary knife. All in all it's overpriced for what you get.

My partner politely asked for an extra bag of sweets with his coffee. The waitress threw 7 on the table with a grumpy face. What a service… There goes your tip.

Had dinner at Hart van Vlaardingen with a group of 8 people. The food was great and the staff are the best I have ever seen in the catering industry. All equally nice, friendly and helpful. Great service! Other restaurants can really follow this example. I will definitely come back here again!

Nice place, not busy. Had some drinks. Bar employee knew about cocktails.
