House of Bird Diemerbos in Buitengebied

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “On August 18th, we celebrated our daughter's wedding at House of Bird in Diemen. What a fantastic day it turned out to be! Everything was perfectly arranged, thanks in part to Mrs. Theresia, who guided us with such care, dedication, and attention to detail. The service and the entire team were also fantastic: friendly, professional, and always with a smile. The venue itself is beautiful—surrounded by nature, with a relaxed yet festive atmosphere. It was truly the perfect place to celebrate such a special day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a wedding or party venue!”

Had lunch outside. It was a pain that you had to use a QR code for everything with your phone. The food was good. The tables, etc., could have been a bit cleaner.

Went for a super fun run together with loopleip podcast and a delicious beer 🍺 afterwards

Unfortunately this is not anymore what it used to be. I loved going there for a few years. It’s now overpriced and the food seems to be less of quality. The nachos are a joke. 13€ for a plate full of chips and enough cheese (barely melted) for only 5 of them…. Also not enough sauce for the total amount of nachos. The peppers are not jalapeño anymore too. Where was the spicy. The place is still very nice to see though. But unfortunately for me. It was the last time there. Could be okay if the prices weren’t that high.

You order via a QR code. Minimal contact with staff.

Great for beer and snacks, but not really a restaurant. On cold rainy days it's awesome to sit inside with hot chocolate and some cake, and in the summer the terrace is where everyone wants to be, and it's huge. The staff is really nice. It's dog friendly and kid friendly and friendly in general. Awesome spot.

Cozy atmosphere. Delicious lemonade.

A culinary surprise! The dishes were refined and full of flavor, presented with attention to detail. The service was friendly and professional, and the atmosphere warm and inviting. A place you'll happily return to.

The staff is young and inexperienced. The food is truly excellent.

Today we had lunch at House of Bird for the first time. We were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful location near the parking lot. Outside, there were plenty of different seating options in the sun and shade. The food was delicious, and we'd definitely come back for that. What really bothered us was the large number of dogs running around freely on the terrace, surrounded by small children. Dogs pee on everything, poles, and tables. We even saw a dog lying on the table. It's far from hygienic, and the staff just stands there and watches (literally). If you can't stand cigarette smoke, you might want to avoid this place, as people smoke like crazy and have no consideration for others. In short: a nice place, good food, but very unsociable customers.

We both had the beef burger but were very disappointed. Could taste it was a frozen burger and the bun was so-so. Really expensive for a burger too (22€), expected something better for that price. Beers and fries were good. Had the Flammkuchen and bread and dips before and these are good too.

Nice, peaceful and calm atmosphere. We really liked the place, wonderful to chill and relax.

The food was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was cozy and relaxed. Definitely a place I would like to return to!

Super fun, and we enjoyed eating outside on the terrace.

Lunch in an enchanted forest... with bonus wedding Haus of Bird in Diemen feels like you’ve wandered into a Pinterest board. Think twinkly fairy lights, cozy wooden corners, and forest vibes that whisper, “you’re about to eat something magical.” We came for lunch and left with full bellies and a front-row seat to someone’s wedding. Yep, while we were debating who got the last bite of flammkuchen with burrata and coppa di parma, someone said “I do” a few meters away. Talk about dinner and a show. Food highlights: 🥑 Avocado with salmon – because we’re classy like that. 🔥 Flammkuchen with burrata & coppa di parma – basically a delicious edible Instagram filter. 🥚 The gluten-free bread with egg and bacon – bless them for catering to our gluten-avoiding friend. 🇳🇱 And of course, the iconic 12-uurtje – for the indecisive Dutchie in all of us. It was lightly raining, which only added to the enchanted woodland fantasy. The whole place felt like a scene from a romantic comedy where we were the quirky side characters who showed up for lunch and accidentally became part of the love story. Would 100% return. Next time, we’ll dress up. You never know when you’ll crash another wedding.

Lovely place but beware: the kitchen closes at 20h...so if you make a reservation at 7:30 order quickly! It was a pity but the place is absolutely fantastic.

Nice and cool and friendly service

Jammer, lunch & eten is altijd heerlijk maar koffie met citroenttaart ( oud en muffig) en worteltaart zo droog voor de bijna 5,- pst Dat valt erg tegen. Ik hoop dat jullie deze verbeteren, nu zeker niet aan te raden.

Excellent place to go eat or have a cereal outdoors

Lovely setting and great food. Loved thier beer filled chocolates.

Good staff Good salad Portion of coffee was small and strange And coffee in the glass !!!

A cozy and unique café near the forest where everything is made of wood, giving a truly peaceful vibe. The interior is warm and thoughtfully designed with wooden details. Around the café, there’s a great trail for walking and biking, and even the bike parking is made of wood, perfectly matching the environment. There’s also an outdoor play area for kids, making it a great spot for families. The drinks and food are delicious and fresh. Definitely try this café if you’re looking for a calm and fragrant place close to nature.”

Nice atmosphere and beautiful place.

Food is ordered via QR code. You don't have to wait long for your food. The price reflects the quality of the food. Unfortunately, spa rood is very limited. Keep that in mind.

Great location but drinks and food are way too expensive! Almost 4 euros for tap water with a slice of cucumber and lime. And almost 10 euros for a poor white baguette ham/cheese toast 🙈

We came here via bites and stairs but it looks like a really nice place. Facilities for children and parties and in the evening a wide range of original draft beer. Hernia that I don't exactly live nearby, but otherwise I would definitely come back here more often

Order and pay via QR code. Very busy. Food is fresh, not special and quite expensive. Too few staff, so tables remain with leftovers for too long. Weekend with nice weather there is no more room. On a second visit on Wednesday afternoon lunchtime it was pleasantly busy and sufficient staff and the tables clean. Smooth service.

Before we converted our registered partnership into a real marriage, we were looking for a special place to celebrate this with family and friends. Nowadays there is so much choice, but luckily there are sites that give you nice suggestions based on your wishes. That's how we ended up at House of Bird Diemerbos and it appealed to us immediately! Beautiful place, accessible, varied cuisine, free and spacious parking. It ticked all our boxes. After our request, we met with event planner Theresia on location and we immediately clicked. We had initially chosen the breeding ground xl but she suggested choosing the aviary because this would better suit our wishes. We wanted to have a drink with some snacks beforehand and then a 3-course meal. In the run-up to our special day, we were able to arrange everything perfectly and there was always room for adjustments on both sides. Beforehand, we went for a walk in the beautiful surroundings ourselves. There are three walking routes of 3, 6 and 10 km. We chose the 10 km and ended it by trying one of our menu choices with a nice beer from their own brewery, which actually only confirmed our choice for this location. The party day itself was perfect, we and our guests were welcomed at the beautiful aviary with a non-alcoholic welcome drink (Roze Bunker lemonade). Theresia herself was also there to welcome us and was also busy with everything that did not go completely smoothly. For example, the tap in the green bus did not work for a moment, but that was solved perfectly. The bite plates and the 3-course menu were delicious and more than enough. Although the afternoon was sunny, it did get a bit chilly towards the evening, which unfortunately could not be absorbed by the terrace heaters, luckily we all brought a coat. All our guests were pleasantly surprised by this beautiful location and, just like us, enjoyed it immensely. Theresia and all the employees of House of Bird Diemerbos made our day unforgettable! We will definitely come back again for a delicious home-brewed beer, a bite to eat or to the next event!

I went here with my grandson to do the bird route. A not too long walking trail has been set out for children to find hidden metal birds and write them down on a map. Educational and exciting! Afterwards an ice cream and a bit of playing in the (small) playground. Nice atmosphere. A gem in the Diemerbos.

Good venue for small company events

Lovely spot for an after-work drink.

Cosy child-friendly place to enjoy a bite or drink inside or outside. Order via a QR code on tables, then fast service and delicious dishes, not to be missed after a trip to the petting zoo or the Diemerbos.

A great get-away in the Diemerbos. It is on the junction of a couple of walking paths hence usually a nice place to stop by for a drink or a quite bite. Atmosphere is great and when it is open there is also a chance to observe filled birds in the upper floor indoors. It may be a little bit overpriced especially for some specific items on the menu. Service is usually fast and good. Attended a couple of times for kinderfeests over there and it seems a good alternative for birthday parties and so. Recommended.

Cozy room of the Bird brewery. 20 different Bird beers on tap! Lovely terrace in the shade!

Nice place where you can eat well

Nice place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Nice concept with birds and a brewery. Beers are good. Ordering is done via a QR code, which makes it less personal. Burger very tasty, but portions are small. Prices are on the high side.

Nice place and nice garden. Great for kids.

Wonderful place to stay, both in summer and winter. The food is ok. I mainly come for a drink.

Nice bar/cafeteria located in an ideal environment surrounded by nature. Notably, they have their own beer, we liked it. Pretty good food, excellent service. A highly recommended place to have a drink or eat after walking, it is also pet-friendly and the dogs there are delighted.

Delicious beers from our own brewery…. And food….

Nice place to relax. Especially when the weather is nice, it is an ideal location for young families, for example. Play entertainment. Finding allowed. The steak and dessert were delicious!

It was okay, unfortunately there was a quiz that was too loud, I couldn't eat well that loud!!!

Nice place to sit in beautiful surroundings. Outside is a beautiful garden with all kinds of play equipment You can order via QR, and that's fine

Top spot in the Diemerbos. Plenty of free parking. Inside it can sometimes be a bit reverberant when it's busy. Nice big terrace outside. Dogs are welcome both inside and on the terrace. The flammkuchen are very tasty and the Bresola sandwich is really delicious. You can order on the terrace with a QR code. The prices have increased considerably. An ordinary ham cheese sandwich costs EUR 9.25. The service has familiar faces and is experienced. The terrace is currently being renovated, hopefully even more space to enjoy!

Been there many times and never disappoints. Friendly, casual service. Food is great. And the location is definitely recommended when the weather is nice. Also nice for a drink after a walk.

Place and food are good. Service and hygiene not. Drinks come from different bars, so some of the group has something to drink and others don't. That's the concept. Employees touch everything with their bare hands without applying any form of hygiene in between. Think of ginger, phones, cookies, mint, coffee. One drink was thrown down quite a bit, which came across as a bit threatening.

One of Amsterdam’s hidden gems—discovered by accident on a run. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and served with great hospitality in a fantastic location. My partner even said he had the best latte here ever!

Nice location, there were few staff that day so service was a bit slow.

Lovely spot for a walk in nature and a drink (and bitterballen) afterward.

Can't give more than 3 stars due to the long wait (30 minutes) to get the order. The dishes are fine and well presented, but the experience was tainted by the long waiting periods. Prices in alignment with Dutch standards. Someone will need to explain why a Cola of 20 cl is charged at 3.40 euros.

Great place to have a drink and something to eat. Attentive staff.

Perfection, heaven on earth, surrounded by beautiful nature ✨️

Nice location, good atmosphere, 🙊

They are in a beautiful location and you can enjoy a drink there. The interior is not as atmospheric as a Mac Donalds, which could really have been better. Had dinner on Sunday, but that was once and never again. 20 euros for a fish salad with bread. Besides the sandwich that came with it, 60% of the salad consisted of pieces of toasted bread. Also lettuce and a few pieces of fried fish and a scoop of tuna salad from a container, I think. My dining companion had a flammkuchen that was dripping with fat. We were asked 4 times what we thought and we were honest. I've never said I didn't like the food before, but I couldn't lie now. They didn't do much with it. A waiter said the prices were way too high but it was because of the expensive location. Well, that's fair.

Lovely place to have a drink. And the flammkuchen is highly recommended.

Nice little restaurant with a casual atmosphere. Good food and nice homemade lemonade, not too expensive. Outside a forest where people walk their dog.

No nonsense, nice 'outside' Amsterdam Good place for training

A bit noisy when busy, but otherwise very pleasant and tasty.

Lovely place, nice location, but unfortunately the food is really consistently not good. The vegetarian rendang was lukewarm, the soup extremely salty, the burger very poor for that price... I really hope it will get better...

For my company OMNIAFFECT I facilitated an all-day training here in Het Brouwlab. A nice, accessible atmosphere, very cooperative and hospitable staff and a delicious lunch. Everything was right. Thank you! Highly recommended.

What a bad experience. We got there on a Sunday so it was quite busy. The location is nice but food and drinks terrible! A hot chocolate for 4.50 from a bag diluted with water I think. Coffee just like ditch water. The flammkuche was thin, but the toppings were even thinner. Pieces of salmon and what was supposed to be a burrata were 3! small pieces of mozzarella. 16.50 each. Tables were dirty. Service did their best, but I think it was severely understaffed. I'll never come here again!

Nice place, and tasty bitterballen!

Cozy cafe/restaurant for lunch, a coffee, a beer from our own brewery and much more.

Always pleasant, good coffee, friendly staff.

Nice place, good service. Children can play outside in a sandbox with a fence around it and enjoy wandering around.

A very nice place! But too bad they have wine glasses. I completely understand it more for the beers, but it would be nice if they had wine glasses!

Can be busy. Lots of dogs. I also brought my dog ​​with me and first went for a walk in the Diemerbos

Restocafe inside Diemerbos, surrounded by clean nature, birds & walk pathes. Service, available games and menu choices & friendly staf, tempting us 5o come again.

Super nice place near the forest. Often very busy on weekends. And quite expensive. I find this piece of brownie for 5 euros absurd

Not well enough organized for the size of the group.

Finish off with something tasty after your walk in the Diemerbos at House of Bird

Simple dishes but good quality. Service is fast and friendly. Super cozy atmosphere!

Nice quiet place in Diemerbos. Relax after a walk and have lunch!

Had lunch today. Flammkuche eggplant and a tapas board. Flammkuche wafer thin and sparsely topped. More than €12 is really not worth it. Unlike last time, the tapas board was served on a saucer, a glass of olives, only 4 small slices of meat and 1 filled slice of baguette instead of 2 last time. This cost €8.75. Except for one of the staff, they were grumpy and did not really intend to take the order, it took quite some effort to find someone willing. For the money charged, some service, friendliness and a little more food on your plate doesn't seem too much to ask. The windows could also use a rag for some time. I have seen that the response to negative reviews is systematically "I will pass on the feedback and we will work on it." That has still not led to improvements. All hot air. We won't be coming anymore.

Used to be a really nice place, but lost to their success. Waiting an hour (without exaggerating) for a drink, super grumpy staff (I assume due to crowds).

Nice place for a children's party

I tried only a couple of snacks in terms of food but everything was freshly done, tasty and with a lot of flavor. Coffee was also very good, nice to have a coffee to go and a walk in nature. Great place for a break or friends meet-up, will visit again for sure! Apple tart and cappuccino are a must try! Around 8EUR. Sadly the place is so popular that it is hard to find a seat to stay outside in the sun, maybe some extra tables or smaller tables for lower number of people.

Food was great. Service could have been better. Location wonderful.

What a disappointment on our special day (registered partnership). Fireworks were placed on the cake in advance to make it more festive, but they were forgotten. When we made the reservation it was indicated that in addition to the pastries we would probably also want to stay for lunch. That was no problem when booking. Once at the table, however, we were turned away after 1.5 hours because 'there was another reservation with a large group so our table was needed'. Apple pie was served way too cold. Finally, the service was really substandard. Orders (with only drinks) were not accepted correctly or the wrong drinks were on the table. There were also some things wrong on the receipt. It's a shame that hospitality is lacking in which you go the extra mile for your guests, especially if you know what someone is there for. Too bad, but we will not return after several attempts.

Amazing beers, great atmosphere! I'm a regular visitor and I'm looking forward to come again!

This is the place to be for the special beers!!!

We were in the new teepee tent for a children's birthday. Well taken care of despite the crowds in the restaurant

Nice for a quick fam catchup. Love the qr codes, and speed of delivery. Even in busy times the speed is top notch!

We had a delicious meal. We wanted to take a walk but it was too dark. The kids had a great time playing. We sat in a very nice spot upstairs. You can also grab binoculars and go bird watching. The terrace was super large but beautiful. We had the classic burger. The burger was delicious but not fully cooked.

good food and lots of beers - all with the same taste :)

I would strongly discourage anyone from eating here. I ordered a Bulgur salad with pomegranate seeds. Salad tasted of nothing and there were no pomegranate seeds in it, which I thought would make it more tasty. So I asked again. I received old seeds stuck together in a container that were super sour. And that for 14.50. My friend ordered the sandwich of the week. That turned out to be 2 crackers with a piece of salmon on top. So small that it was gone in 2 bites. And they dare to charge 11.50 for that. Staff laughed along when we laughed about the cracker. But this really was 'sandwich of the week' and 'yes, it's a bit crazy'.

Unfortunately, what a poor experience today. The 'sandwich of the day' was a cracker with salmon for €11.50. Then you expect lunch, but this was more like cocktail toast. My girlfriend's bulgur salad was tasteless and the pomegranate seeds were missing. These were brought after a request, but unfortunately they were old and inedible. Well good: The food came quickly and the service was friendly. less: barking dog on the terrace. No nice view from the terrace. Not a nice playground Not worth repeating

Location and atmosphere is good. Service was a little behind. Nice forest walk possible.

A bit pricey but quite ok. Update: Went again today with two nice dogs. Unfortunately I couldn't order outside with the QR, so I went inside at half past six. After half an hour (after a lot of waving) someone finally came to me to say that I can't order anything because they close after six o'clock. Waited half an hour for Jan with the long .......... This makes me sad

Nice location, service with a smile and delicious food, thank you very much!

Had lunch, it was tasty. Quite very busy for a drizzly Monday. Price/quality: a bit too expensive...

Good beer and yesterday we ate a 3-course surprise menu. That was just fine. Remains a super good place.

Beautiful lodge-like style & home-brewed beer. Dogs are welcome inside and the terrace in particular is very large and wooded

Went here yesterday for a birthday. Nice private outdoor area plus an indoor area. Convenient ordering system by using a joint QR code and fast operation.

We held our wedding here. The atmosphere was magical, everyone enjoyed it. The staff was super helpful.

Delicious lunch and coffee and great place in nature!

Wonderful to spend a summer day on the terrace with tasty beers. Be sure to take your dog with you for a nice walk through the Diemerbos!

We sat outside, had a nice meal and drinks. Definitely worth repeating!

Wat een slecht eten hier, bedroevend. De zalm (flamkuchen) moest je echt gaan zoeken. Na klagen kwam men met 3 kleine stukjes zalm, ze mochten niet meer geven van de directie, heel erg slecht. Ook de uitsmijter was bedroevend. Je moest voor de avocado 2,50 bijbetalen, gewoon belachelijk. Al met al heel slecht, hier nooit meer naar toe, geen aanrader. Ook de prijzen zijn veel te hoog voor wat je krijgt.

What a nice place with delicious affordable food. Recommended.
