IKEA Restaurant Eindhoven in Wijk 00 Son

I really don't know what to think of it. The concept seems to have run its course. Just a handful of student workers, it seems. No trays, no soup bowls... The salmon was dried out because they don't use plastic wrap anymore. Luckily, I found 3 cheese croquettes under one of those warming racks, because the rest, except for the fries, looked terrible... Maybe IKEA should consider renting the space out to McDonald's or something. Dirty tables and a genuine canteen atmosphere don't make anyone happy.

I have eaten here several times already. Dinners, snacks, or just a quick chicken sandwich, like today. Always tasty, hygienic, fast, and affordable.

A croissant with jam costs €1, a single croissant costs €1.50. The grumpy ladies at the checkout are unhelpful and 'almost freak out' (their own words) if you start a discussion about this. Because I don't want jam. Apparently, they don't understand how customer service works.

Super slow. Why they never put more people serving during the pik hour ?

Just a handy little something to eat and good coffee

You used to be able to enjoy a delicious meal here. Nine times out of ten, the item you're trying to order is gone. Only meatballs are still available. There's no free cake on your birthday. The apple pie, then, isn't in the running. So, back out of the checkout line...a tip: make it clear. A €1 breakfast is a €1 cheese sandwich with two cucumber slices. So, all in all, not great anymore.

Great hotel Nice pool on the 6th floor with a lounge area. Breakfast is very extensive. The sea is within walking distance.

The food was good, but one man had to serve with such a long wait! There should have been at least two! Otherwise, everything was fine!

It like a McD, but better and healthier

While the food is decent, the management clearly believes that good things come only to those who wait—and wait, and wait. They’ve masterfully engineered a system where, no matter the crowd size, only one person is ever permitted to serve the pre-made food. It’s a level of dedication to artificial scarcity that you just have to admire, even while your lunch hour disappears.

Portions are relatively small, but delicious. Prices are very low. Plenty of seating.

What used to be fun to grab a bite to eat at Ikea, is now a different story. The changes they're making are very bad, yet again aimed at making more money (as if they don't do that enough). Changes aren't always better! Some of the guests who suggest these changes should be fired!

I really like this Ikea store; the food is always delicious and great value for money.

A great place for good quality meals at a very reasonable price.

It looks like fake food. And only having to pay by card is so annoying. The credit card was broken, and then you tell the staff, and the first thing they say is, "But I'm not going to clean that up." So people walk around the restaurant with pee under their feet. Sorry Ikea, shame on you for how disgusting it is. I didn't eat anything else right away. And my son was done with it halfway through. After I mentioned the toilet, he said, "Yes, two of the men's toilets were broken too." He just walked out. Yuck, yuck.

A typical Ikea restaurant, so decent food for a low price. Small portions, no table service.

If you think you're having a hard time at home, you should definitely come here! The warm ambiance of a bare operating room truly exudes the atmosphere of a Swedish restaurant. It's packed daily with expats, elderly people with e-bikes, and men dragged along by their wives. You can see the will to live slowly ebbing from people's bodies. The coffee and pastries are excellent, by the way.

Very loud, but overall good They make u pay extra for milk or oatmilk in coffee now!

The price is reasonable, but you shouldn't expect culinary masterpieces.

To get a sandwich, you have to stand in the same line as the people who want a hot meal. So you stand in line for half an hour, while you can just grab the sandwich right away (if you can reach it).

Everything was disgusting and stale. The sugar-free drinks were also truly disgusting.

Ikea is cutting back more and more. Only 2 types of tea left, green and black from their own brand. Coffee, cappuccino with oat milk... This is not what I call tasty. The food: I had chicken satay today. But the satay sauce was peanut-free??? What does that taste like? Well, not like satay. Not really gross, but not really tasty either. Would I choose it again? No. The chicken was seasoned but not marinated. Generous portions, though. Had enough to eat. Salad was tasty and reasonably priced. A real shame about the satay sauce. So, no 8 anywhere.

Delicious meatballs and sauce, same as in Turkey. Just okay.

The food really wasn't good, chicken satay? Maybe, but I do know that cardboard is more tender. Never again, and expensive too.

The food is delicious and the price is reasonable. The wait time is reasonable. Unfortunately, many of the pastries, salads, sandwiches, etc. (pre-prepared, ready-to-go refrigerated items) are often gone by lunchtime. The meatballs with fries and sauce are fantastic!

The bun was a bit tough as if it had been reheated twice. The salmon was tasty.

Food cold, staff grumpy and really no atmosphere.

Two satay dishes for the price of one. Good deal.

Simple but fine, a quick bite to get you going again

Let's have a coffee. The menu has been the same for years.

Standard restaurant, friendly service

Go to Duiven, this restaurant is just bad on the busier days.

Horrible. A 45-minute wait because of some discount promotion.

There was a promotion: money spent at the restaurant would be discounted on your IKEA purchases. Sounds good, but beware! The restaurant closes more than half an hour before the indicated time. When I tried to go, they gave me the excuse that there was a line – when there wasn't one at all. Very poor and misleading service!

Changed to 1 star. They re supposed to open until the 17:30 but when we came there at 17:15 we were rejected. Let this be a lesson for you guys out there reading this review. They can change the restaurant closing time whenever they want.

Delicious breakfast for a good price

The barcode for coffee only worked at one machine. It took 15 minutes to get a cup of coffee. It's gotten expensive, and the quality has deteriorated compared to previous years. The dining room wasn't very clean either. And two-thirds of the women's restroom stalls were out of toilet paper.

Limited options, same boiled food since ages. nothing new or exciting. just a filler on a busy shopping day

The vegetarian food was delicious. It's a shame there's no halal meat. The price is very reasonable, and the combination of food and shopping is great.

Expensive food with few options

What a life, a children's menu with a bottle of beer. 5 stars

I ate meatballs, then hazelnut cake. Delicious, filling food.

It's a nice restaurant, a bit noisy in the front but nice and quiet in the back. It could also be the daytime, because on Sundays it gets very busy and there's a long line in front of the restaurant.

Food did not meat the expectations...

Hell on earth. Screaming children. People laughing excessively loudly. A food selection that doesn't exactly make me happy in a dull space. The cashier was friendly and attentive, though.

We were there in a long line around 7:00 PM, and at 7:15 PM it was our turn! Back then, there was only one choice: meatballs and veggie meatballs, both tasteless! With fries and peas... It was more like a stomach-filler than a proper meal!

Very nice and fresh breakfast...

Delicious meatballs and the service was also great

Coffee ok. Little taste left in some dishes so we don't try it anymore

Stood in line for 20 minutes to get food

Good to eat. Lots of space to sit. For big and small. Also for disabled people well available.

Becoming less and less. Quality and choice.

Enjoyed a delicious apple pie with whipped cream, luckily it wasn't very busy so we could have a quiet chat.

There was little choice in hot meals

We regularly go for a nice lunch at Ikea with the kids. You can have a very nice lunch for less than ten euros per person. Really worth it in combination with some nice shopping.

Eating at Ikea has something of a cult for many. Good marketing. In fact, it's a limited menu, a reasonable price and little atmosphere.

Too bad, in the display case were discolored salmon dishes, not covered and open front.. Everyone can "sit on" it and cough over it. Little choice for those who have to/want to pay attention to their health. Meals with meatballs only with 5 or 12 pieces.. This is a real shame.. After all, a visit to Ikea also includes a nice and tasty Healthy dinner..😏🫢

The place is great, but the time waiting in line at the restaurant is longer than at the attractions in the Efteling

Good, reasonable meal on a Friday night.

Nice coffee. And the sandwich was also great

Tasty, sufficient and not expensive

Tasty food that you will get quickly. Fast service and clean.

Food is good. Service a little less the last time we were there. For example, it took a very long time for the coffee machine to be repaired. And of course it is a very large space, so not very cozy

Food kept warm, and not much choice

So busy that the hot fries were cold by the time we got through the checkout. Too bad, we won't be doing that again.

I celebrated my uncle's birthday here, as he turned 88. The atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was perfect. The food was delicious, a three-course lunch menu. It was a treat for all taste buds. Fantastic.

The transition to almost exclusively vegetarian hasn't been a success for me. I miss the meat, but aside from the Swedish meatballs, there's nothing meat-based on the menu. Fries are also off the menu, only if you specifically ask. The good times are over...😭😭😭😭

Highly recommended. Simple but good.

The food is okay, nice for occasional visits. I find the atmosphere rather clinical since the renovation. It used to be more atmospheric. I hope they'll do something about it. It's no longer comfortable. It's also noticeable in the number of visitors. Before, you were lucky to find a seat, but now there's more than enough. It's possible that more tables and chairs have been added, but that doesn't make it any more inviting.

Delicious and affordable food, always a spot available, and a great alternative to Hema. A regular, weekly cup of coffee and a waffle... yummy!

We go to the Vega side way too often, you felt like you were a normal eating person and you were no longer welcome

Always busy. Too bad the Lipton the coffee is always good.

Exactly IKEA quality and price okay

We had a delicious breakfast Neat, sufficient and for a nice price 👍👍

Reasonable space and map; for young and old. Always busy 'populated'. Take your time.......

Ate delicious Swedish meatballs.

Great for a quick sandwich, salad and a free coffee

Of course you shouldn't expect the best here. But doing everything wrong with an order is quite clever

Food is really becoming less and less, at first we thought it would be nice to have a bite to eat there, but after today we really don't anymore, Loud, tasteless and service far below par

Always a good experience.. There's something for everyone especially when you go with toddlers. The plantaardig balls and the new vega tortellini pasta is yumm!

Ikea is just nice to stroll through quietly. Even if you don't need anything. So yesterday I bought two wooden boxes. Easy to put back together again. Like most Ikea products. Spacious car park, but can be busy on days off. But we usually go on weekdays. The food is also good, but it is less than before. The prices for the food are also a bit too expensive (for what you get). But Ikea remains a great department store with plenty of necessities. We like to keep coming there.

The food was good, service excellent, toilet clean, it was fine

Just when you visit IKEA. Nice cup of coffee.

Always a pleasant meal for an attractive price

Bit too busy, when we were there, on Friday evening not enough serving staff

It's a great pity that the stools at the high tables no longer have a backrest. This after the furniture was renewed. Why?

Self service, comfort and fast food

Simple but economical breakfast. It looks clean You have coffee refill

It seems like the food is getting worse by the week. Ham on the bone now on sale...sorry sir, it's gone... Then salmon...fits in a hollow molar, beans drip right off your plate and before you get to your seat you've already finished your fries...

It's not what it once was, miss the satay for example.

Food always disappoints me, it seems tasty but not for me. Staff very helpful

Great breakfast and great service in the store too!!

You can have a nice breakfast here and good coffee

Really, in one word, terrible. Not to eat. Large room with lots of light bahbah

Unfortunately I had bad experience twice in row , vegetarian options are poor and often there is either no vegetarian food or it’s last bits which looks like ready to be thrown away

Dry omelette, Ikea breakfast was not really tasty, but it was nice to be there with my daughters, nice restaurant

There were no prices for the products. When I asked she went and got it

Not a tour de force, but okay for once....

Relax with a nice cup of coffee or tea and delicious food for a reasonable price.

Many services are being eliminated.
