La Stancia Leerdam in Wijk 00 Leerdam

The food was good... not exceptional, just good... the staff were friendly and did their best to get everything done on time, but there was clearly too little staff to handle the crowds... because of the crowds, it took a very long time (almost an hour) for our food to arrive.

We go to Steakhouse regularly, but we don't need to go back to this one. Even the tenderloin wasn't really tender. And the spareribs had a sauce on them that wasn't really my thing.

Tasty, good service and nice atmosphere.

If you want to eat delicious spare ribs, you really have to come here. Watch your fingers so you don't eat them along with the ribs!!

The food took about two hours to arrive.

As usual, fantastic. Highly recommended!

Friendly staff and, of course, delicious food. The unlimited spare ribs are mouthwatering. The fish dishes are highly recommended, even for non-meat eaters!!

Always good meat and friendly service. The only thing is, the music could use some variation.

Delicious spare ribs and friendly staff I've been there for the 3rd time now and once again it was delicious. Highly recommended, especially if you love delicious spare ribs; in my opinion, they are fantastic.

What a FANTASTIC restaurant! The food is exquisite The service is exquisite We were a group of 3 people for a limited spare ribs meal We arrived at 6:00 PM and were received most warmly by the "son-in-law" son. Afterwards, the menu was given to us by the "daughter-in-law" daughter. We had a fantastic time We ate wonderfully Received good advice regarding the La Stancia liqueur 👌 The desserts are very good. Chats and laughter. Simply put, in one word: FANTASTIC!! Highly recommended for anyone who loves a good piece of meat and appreciates good service 👌

Compared to the past, unfortunately a huge step backward… the furniture is heavily worn, food took a long time, atmosphere is nowhere to be found, and the staff is untrained and mostly just hangs around at the bar at the front. The taste of the food is still good. In short, fine for takeout, but the restaurant is a shadow of its former glory.

Never order a starter for multiple people on a platter; you'll pay top price.

The spareribs are perfect. Good value for money....

The food is very good, the staff is simply worthless.

Very tasty food and very friendly staff.

Food fine, we just thought Argentine goulash soup would be thick and hearty; the regular one already is, so the Argentine one would be perfect. Unfortunately, it is more like spicy water with, if you look veeeery hard, 4 mini peas, a strip of bell pepper, and I even found 3 very, very, very small pieces of meat the size of a fingernail (and I chopped those into 3 pieces), so not recommended. The tables are so close together that you are always sitting with your backrest against another backrest. This may seem like a lot of complaining now, but all the other food was perfect, the staff super friendly, and we had a nice evening, so it is definitely recommended to go there (but order a different starter 😀)

A beautiful café with a warm atmosphere. The coffee was excellent and beautifully presented. The staff was attentive and helpful. Everything went smoothly and quickly. I felt very welcome here. Definitely a place to return to.

Delicious food. Cozy Argentinian atmosphere. Friendly owner and nice staff. Hats off!

Cozy atmosphere, excellent service, very attentive staff, and divine food. Really, the food is delicious.

The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. It was just very cold in the restaurant.

Delicious food, friendly staff, a bit chaotic but very friendly. All in all, great food and delicious meat.

Number 1 Super tasty food, nice atmosphere, a 10

It's a top-notch restaurant with delicious spareribs and steak. I recommend everyone to go there!

The food used to be better, the service was usually faster, but now with a group of 15+, so benefit of the doubt.

La Stancia Leerdam The short version: delicious food and very friendly staff. The long version: A restaurant with authentic Argentinian cuisine. Grilled meat, expertly prepared on a wood-fired grill. And very importantly: the plates are perfectly heated! Where else can you find this? Just try it. It's so delicious that it's impossible to explain. The side dishes are also excellent and the portions are more than ample. A true family business. They proudly tell you about the locations and who in the family does what in the business. Hospitable and customer-friendly. If there's one criticism: put up some excellent speakers in such a good restaurant. They really enhance the atmosphere.

A lot of trouble with a large group, normal conversation was no longer possible

Delicious food and super cozy atmosphere, often very busy but the quality of the food and service are excellent

We had a delicious meal, the spare ribs were excellent. This time I had a sirloin steak and was pleasantly surprised. Portions were generous, and the price was reasonable. The service could be a bit more cheerful; we couldn't quite get a handle on them.

Delicious food good, and very tender meat

I've lived in Culemborg for 11 years now, but I only found out about this wonderful restaurant two years ago. The food is truly excellent, and the service is very friendly and kind. Recommended: the ribeye and the tournedos. I love going there, and I regret not having discovered it sooner.

The food is fantastic, the staff is friendly, but it does take a while for the order to arrive. We waited an hour, and then we finally asked where it was. It was quick. We were there during peak hours, and you can also pick it up.

Great service. And delicious food, top-notch meat.

Oh, La Stancia. What could have been. It started so well, being greated by a friendly server, immediately being shown to a table, and having a nice, cold beer brought over. The premises were very nice, too - wooden beams, candles on the tables, latin music in the background. Not too full, on a Wednesday evening, as expected. Having ordered the entrecote, food arrived promptly. So far, a perfect 10/10. But, hang on... aren't the vegetables quite, well, bland? And come to think of it, soggy - watery, even? And, even worse... why does the steak feel so... gelatinous in texture? A steak is really a piece of muscle, with some fat, it should feel firm, almost have a slight bouncyness to its character. This felt more like jelly. How odd. And what is this? It seems to be excreting juices at an alarming rate! Soon, it is sat there limply on my plate, in a pool of its own run-off, like my mate's new puppy who isn't yet quite potty trained. But less cute. Dear reader, I almost wish you could have been there to look into my eyes as the illusion shattered. The look on my face, it must have been priceless. The meat had clearly been frozen, and recently thawed. I mentioned this fact to the server after my meal, my countenance grim. And I do not blame them, poor young thing, defending their employer, for telling me "yes of course, so it doesn't go bad". If nothing else, I cannot fault their honesty! Now, I don't know about you, dear reader, but I am not in the habit of going to restaurants, paying 30 euros for a steak that "has not gone bad". I accept paying a premium, not only for the pleasure of being served, but in no small part to enjoy a culinary experience, a prime cut of meat (other foodstuffs are available), fresh, and cooked to perfection. If I wanted a piece of frozen meat, I would have stayed home and cooked it myself. Or laid next to my wife in the winter. So where does this leave us? A steak restaurant that is happy to charge 30 euros for a frozen cut of meat - indeed, views this as a matter of course. Now, if this is something you agree with, dear reader, far be it for me to tell you to spend your increasingly hard earned currency elsewhere. Enjoy your soggy, bland, meat - which, to be fair, was at least cooked to my specifications. Darling La Stancia. Oh, what could have been. I won't say the evening was a complete disaster. There is plenty good here. We will always have the atmosphere, the drinks, the (admittedly apologist, but otherwise excellent) waitstaff. I just wish you had the decency to be embarrassed about serving frozen food. Oh, well. At least the chips were smashing.

We had dinner here together tonight. We're on vacation, so we looked online to see what restaurants are nearby. This place was great; the food was delicious, and they were very accommodating to my allergies. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and above all, the meat was delicious. It's a shame we don't live nearby, otherwise we would definitely come here more often.

food tastes excellent, very extensive menu, open kitchen and good service

Delicious food, very friendly staff Good atmosphere

Super tender meat, highly recommended

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+ What a wonderful experience at La Stancia in Leerdam! My girlfriend and I went there to eat all-you-can-eat spareribs, and we had a wonderful time. The meat was wonderfully tender and flavorful, perfectly prepared. The service deserves a big compliment: incredibly friendly, hospitable, and attentive to the guests. You immediately feel welcome. The atmosphere in the restaurant is warm and cozy, making you feel right at home. Five stars aren't enough for a restaurant with such lovely people and such fantastic quality. We will definitely be back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ La Stancia is highly recommended! My boyfriend and I enjoyed the unlimited spareribs here, and everything was fantastic. The food was delicious, well-seasoned, and wonderfully fresh. What makes this restaurant extra special for me is the friendly atmosphere of the staff. You can tell they enjoy what they do, and that creates a wonderful atmosphere. Everything feels very welcoming and warm. In short: a cozy place where you'll leave feeling good. I'd love to come back!

Were they the best spare ribs of my life? No (they would have had to fall off the bone more for that). But they were really delicious spare ribs, and the truffle fries that came with them were delicious, too. And the service was really great.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ¡Qué rico! Fantastic Argentinian flavors, cozy atmosphere, and the service was super friendly. We will definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality and the spirited staff. It was wonderful, you'd feel like you were abroad. The meat was so tender and deliciously seasoned, and definitely not stingy. Highly recommended. SEE YOU SOON!

A somewhat dark restaurant where the spareribs are beautifully prepared over the flames. Unlimited, but also available as an appetizer. What a great idea.

Delicious spareribs. The best I have ever eaten.

What a great time we had yesterday! We celebrated a birthday and the ladies from the service immediately made it a party. The birthday girl got fireworks and the whole restaurant sang for her. The food was delicious, especially the steaks, the bavette and the squid. The children were also thought of, the ladies were very sweet. We will definitely come back here! 🥳

Perfect piece of meat... nicely presented... just unbelievable that the sauces come from a packet! The waitress herself said that when we complained about the taste of the mushroom sauce! Ridiculous and a waste for that price.

Great food as always, good and friendly service, good price! We are regular customers!

Delicious spareribs. RECOMMENDED....

Not cheap, but tasty spare ribs, a pity that no vegetables or salad are served with it.

Have eaten here so many times in the past. Recently went to eat spareribs again but it was disappointing. The delicious sweet spareribs of the past were no longer available, unfortunately.

Had a delicious meal with my family, good service, tasty food and the restaurant is nice and warmly decorated Thank you very much for the nice evening ❤️

Today I got 3x unlimited spare ribs, normally very good, but today 6 of the 9 ribs were burned black and unedible.

If you eat unlimited spareribs, the first two will be wonderfully tender and juicy. Then you get spare ribs that are half cooked and have no taste. I hear this from more people, it's a shame!!!!!

The food was excellent and so was the service! Highly recommended!!!!!

Music is loud, asked twice to turn it down

Gegeten met 4 personen. Geen vlotte bediening. Hebben zeker een half uur gezeten voordat we überhaupt ons eerste drankje konden bestellen. Burrata salade was een keiharde bol, nog harder dan gewone mozzarella. Deze teruggestuurd aan verbaasd personeel. Ossenhaas niet zo mals als je mag verwachten en de gamba's waren pap aan de binnenzijde... Door de trage bediening 4 uur binnen gezeten voor 2 gangen. Een aanfluiting. Jammer.

Kom hier al 30 jaar inmiddels. Ik ben steeds weer verbaasd over de continuïteit van de kwaliteit. Die is altijd goed en dr spareribs....Tja, de marinade is to die for!! Lekkere frietjes en verse salade. Die miste ik deze reis bij mn schotel trouwens. Vergeten, kan gebeuren. De eigenaar en vooral ook zijn vrouw en nicht zijn zo lief, echt hartverwarmend!

Delicious food, warm atmosphere and great service. Recommended!

Meat is fantastically tasty. White wine very watery. Quite pricey.

Delicious spareribs. Falling off the bone. Also an option for unlimited spare ribs. The staff are very friendly.

The steak was great...tasty and tender. I don't recommend sauces with meat, I think they come from a bottle. But we had a great evening.

Nice spareribs and nicely priced, nothing wrong with that. Owner is a nice guy.

Nice restaurant, especially the spare ribs are very good, you can pick up and eat there. price in decent, especially for unlimited spareribs

Full evening program which is a shame...it all took a very long time.....because the food is excellent....the music was also very loud which made conversation at the table difficult...and of all the birthday moments, not to mention nice that there was something to it is being done but it was all very noisy..

The restaurant has been exactly the same for 25 years, but the extractor hood has been improved! Atmosphere is fine, old but nice. Food is way too much and covered in sauce but the service is fast!

Nice restaurant! The meat is particularly good, really delicious tender tenderloin! The service is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Delicious dishes and good service

We had a good meal with the team, had a good laugh with the club, and of course helped a lot. Update: again now. Good food and drinks

The ribs are no longer worth 5 stars. I come here on average twice a year to pick up. We all notice that it is less tender than in recent years. I don't know what's causing it, but please keep an eye on it. Taste is good but only with enough sauce on top.

I have now eaten here for the 10th time I think. As always, top service, good atmosphere and delicious food. The best spareribs from the region. Definitely recommended!

Delicious spare ribs, choice of one portion or unlimited. With a great sauce on top. Service very good and extremely friendly. Definitely recommended!

Great food, price wasn't too bad! Staff was friendly, but busy.

Friendly staff. But the food was disappointing, the melon with ham salad had way too much dressing on it, which is not what it should be. And I ordered meat but it wasn't the right one. If something has run out, tell me then I could have ordered something else and not just given some. Also had a table near the toilette, they should put a door in front of it, which is not nice when you look at it yuck!

Heerlijk gegeten. Alleen het ijs met nepslagroom vond ik een aanfluiting. De bediening was vriendelijk en goed. Als het ijs met slagroom beter was geweest zeker 5 sterren.

Super tasty meat and super friendly employees. Definitely recommended to eat here

Good spareribs. Friendly service and reasonably priced.

Great stay here! Fast service and the food was just really good! We will come back more often. Also a tasty dish for vegetarians and vegans.

Expensive but good Dutch prices on Mondays where others have it in Leerdam. Nice steakhouse

What a nice restaurant! Super nice staff and delicious food. Worth driving to Leerdam, which is a very nice town by the way!!!

The food was great. I ordered ribs (item 42), my brother ordered a steak, and the couple who invited us, Bert, ordered ribs and his wife ordered a steak. A few beers, wine; then a delicious dessert and finally Irish coffee. At first we were served by a very nice, beautiful waitress in black jeans, I fell in love with her, when I left she stood behind the bar and waved at me. Reservation of table number 8. Jedzenie rewelacyjne .Zamówiłem żeberka (pozycja 42),brat steka, a małżeństwo co Nas zaprosiło Bert żeberka a jego żona steka. Kilka piw, wino; następnie pyszny deser a na koniec kawa po irlandzku. After początku obsługiwała Nas bardzo miła ładna waiterka w czarnych jeansach zakochałem się w Niej, jak wychodziłem stała za barem i Mi machała. Rezerwacja stolik number 8.

Delicious food. Smooth and friendly service

Delicious steak and spareribs. Yet we tried another starter, to our regret. Meat dishes are really good but the rest less so...

Great food, I'm always amazed at how tasty something can be! Nice staff, hospitable and the chef is also great! We will definitely come back here more often.

Spareribs opgehaald, heel veel bot en weinig vlees,een penetrante varkensvleessmaak,na 3 ribjes alles in de container gegooid,voorlopig niet voor herhaling vatbaar.

Had a pleasant evening with delicious food and friendly service. 100% TOP

Don't eat here with a larger group. We are used to waiting a while since you are eating with a lot of people. But if everything else was okay, I wouldn't have had a problem with that. The waiter walked around wearing a Nike cap and asked me for 50 cents "as a joke" when I asked if this was the toilet, while he was still buttoning his pants & putting on his apron. Main course took more than 1.5 hours to arrive & then she mixed up all the medium and well done steaks. As a result, 2 people had to wait an extra fifteen minutes. When paying, they indicated that we should have said that we wanted the main course right after the starter. They said that large groups often want time to talk and therefore waited on purpose. The food was otherwise fine, just not for us anymore.

Food was bad and was brought by someone with a sour face.

Fast service, very nice people, delicious food!

Very good food and great attentive service

Na 14 jaar weer terug bij La Stancia vanwege een verhuizing. We hadden de onbeperkte spareribs en ik kan met trots zeggen dat dit nog steeds ons nummer 1 spareribs restaurant is! Met afstand!

Delicious starter of lettuce with squid rings, catfish fillet with vegetables and baked potato. Nice cup of coffee. Fine. Friendly waitresses, quick and pleasant.

Erg duur geworden niet meer zo lekker als voorheen

Geweldig restaurant voor het eerst gaan eten echt een aanrader vriendelijke mensen pluim aan de kok en de eigenaar ze laten je echt thuis voelen.

Gezellige sfeer,goede service,en eten is er super.

Begin liep de bediening wat stroef en kortaf later werd het prettiger. Met name is de carpaccio en de spareribs van goede kwaliteit. Er hangt jammer genoeg een nare rioollucht in het restaurant.

De spareribs zijn echt helemaal geweldig!

Pyszny stek i przemiły właściciel

Goeie prijs kwaliteit verhouding.

Was there in August 2022, great as always. Have been coming here for more than 20 years. I moved away but have a place locally and this is a must visit when I come to Leerdam. Excellent food, great owners, nice atmosphere, and good service. Wish they had one in Seattle, WA, US!!

De lekkerste spareribs in de verre omgeving… kom nog steeds vanuit Brabant speciaal voor de ribs…
