Mauve Restaurant & Bar in Laren

Had to wait a very long time for a cappuccino. There was absolutely no logic in the service and taking the order.

Nice place and cozy terrace in a beautiful location. But it was very busy and there were few staff. A 45-minute wait for a croquette sandwich is really too long.

Cozy terrace, very nice/good service, but you can better eat somewhere else. We had a tenderloin skewer which was transformed by the "chef" into a bar of charcoal and a small bowl of strawberry bavarois is sold as tiramisu, and this for not insignificant amounts....too bad

Had a nice lunch at Mauve. Really impressed with the food, service, and atmosphere. Had the Vol-au-Vent…soooo delicious…comfort food

Awesome place and location - service had a chip on their shoulder but other than that and the waiting for service, it was good

Nice and cozy. Very good service, friendly team.

Great nice terrace, quick friendly service, excellent food and drinks

The terrace is noisy due to all the traffic.

Very busy intersection....you cannot hear each other on the terrace

Delicious sandwich with avocado.

Great food or something to drink

Tasty food, nice lunch menu, fair price. Tuna was served a little too cold, asparagus a little too hard. Service fine.

We had a wonderful time on the terrace. 3-course dinner was great! Very good service, very helpful. Very good atmosphere.

The coziness of a neat pub and the food as in a 3-star restaurant. Very friendly service. We had a nice evening.

A cozy and cute place. I loved their cocktails. A place where you can have a pleasant time 🤍

The food is tasty, the location is nice. As soon as it is sunny and the terrace is full, the crowds cannot cope at all, resulting in long waiting times (even for simple items such as soft drinks).

Very cozy place with good food that is balanced. We enjoyed lunch. The service is friendly and polite. Next time I'll take pictures of the food. To be safe, make a reservation if you want to eat here.

Mediocre, I expected more charm

Size of lunch was disappointing. Quality was okay.

Very awkward service. Waiting to be seated like it's some super busy and posh place. Asked for the lunch menu and never got it. Left after only a mediocre coffee.

We sat here for lunch on a sunny winter day. The terrace is beautiful, cozy and a perfect spot to sit. The food took quite a while to arrive but it was relaxing to sit so not so bad. We had sandwiches which were all tasty but a bit on the smaller side. The steak sandwich was as well made and came with a burger bun which was very good. They also have gluten free bread available but didn’t toast it for the sandwich. We had a gluten free club sandwich which was tasty but seemed smaller than if you had it with normal bread (probably because the gluten free bread is smaller). We also had a cheese toasty. Overall a great spot to come and relax with a chilled lunch. Expect to wait a bit for food when it is busy

Our company's Christmas party was celebrated here. Was great! Nice location and very good atmosphere

Went here for Christmas and despite an expensive breakfast with plenty of salmon served, the coffee was charged (supposed to be included). Decoration could be a little better for such a breakfast. Tip, a little more toast, cherry tomatoes and a slice of cucumber would complete it. Atmosphere is great and service is good. Unfortunately, it has not gotten better but worse in terms of operation and service. Eating with a group and one person forgot to serve the meal. Next, there are fried mussels on the menu, but you get boiled mussels in a plate. Indicate this, but this would have been baked? Furthermore, no sauces or wipes, no clean plate for fries you ordered separately, etc. It was the guest's birthday and despite communication and a heavily ordered dessert, this was not taken up. Even when ordering coffee with apple pie, the coffee is long gone before the cake arrives. Shame

Just tried to have a drink at Mauve on the terrace. First we were sent away from the terrace that turned out to be reserved for a private party and taken a seat on another terrace. Waited here for a while and never saw anyone again to take the order. Just left. Bad turn Mauve

We regularly have lunch here during our visits to Laren. My favorite is the Caesar salad (I eat it without croutons). Deliciously richly filled with chicken, fried bacon and anchovies. Good taste due to the combination of sauce and parmesan cheese. The service is pleasant and, rounded off with a cappuccino, we can enjoy another afternoon. The service is almost always good and in the summer it is nice to relax on the terrace.

Great brasserie, only praise! The steak tartare and the tuna as a 'starter' are both delicious, Mauve's style. The Mauve burger is at least as tasty as the starters, definitely recommended! The cheesecake was slightly less special and would have been better off with a better gelatin layer (I think this has already been removed from the menu) The location, staff, food and atmosphere are all great, we will come back here again.

Busy, cozy. In the summer there is a nice terrace with a view. Good card!

We didn't eat anything. After waiting for a long time, we finally got the menu. We didn't immediately know what we wanted, so service would return. After another half hour of waiting it was enough for us. Have left the restaurant.

Brunch on the terrace heated by a brazier. Dogs are accepted and this is quite rare. The French toast with fresh fruit and orange juice are delicious. I recommend.

Large restaurant. Very busy, but very friendly and fast service. Delicious Oeuf Benedictine.

2 Drank cappuccino with an apple pie. Almost 14 euros. Now say that a total of 10 people work there. Of those 10, no one has ever said; those Cappuccino guys are actually undrinkable. So it comes from a vending machine, not freshly brewed, but you have to pay the full price. Already had three Rennies today. The apple pie is ok, not great but ok. Shame.

Lovely place, tasty food and a cozy atmosphere. Feeling at home. Thank you very much.

After a long wait to get seated, the waitress disappeared and never came back. Probably overwhelmed by the customers. After 10 min waiting at the table to place our order we left.

Nice location. Service could be much better: the customer is forgotten (starts with the fact that it takes a long time to order a drink, the (food/drinks) menu is brought but then no one comes to take the order, the glass is empty and no more questions are asked whether you want anything else, etc.).

After a long time I went to have lunch in my hometown again. Sad to say that the service has plummeted considerably. We had neatly reserved a table on the heated terrace. After waiting for more than 15 minutes, we had to ask a waiter to order some drinks and ask for a menu. After 20 minutes we politely asked if the drinks were coming, an older waiter snapped that it had only been introduced 10 minutes ago. Obviously because they forgot. Continued to wait 40 minutes for a dry club sandwich and carpaccio, drinks still not received. When the waiter saw that the food was being served and there were still no drinks on the table, panic set in and quickly asked another colleague to get our drinks. During the entire lunch we were not asked once if the food tasted good or if we wanted anything to drink. My girlfriend and I have 20+ years of catering experience and were disappointed to say the least and will not be back anytime soon.

After we were sent away at @brink20 because they no longer took orders there (around 3 p.m. on Saturday), we had a nice glass of wine on the terrace and a veggie snack. Really nice here!

Mauve in Laren offers a cozy atmosphere, perfect for a night out. Despite the cold we were able to sit outside thanks to the heaters. The cocktails were delicious and perfectly balanced. A nice place to come back!

The entrance was fantastic and very inviting. A friendly smiling lady took us to our table. The first waiter, clearly very knowledgeable, helped us choose the right wine and left us with the menu. A second waiter came to take the order. He wrote nothing down and that turned out to be a big mistake. No chicken in the otherwise delicious red curry soup, even though we had ordered it. One requested as a main course (so slightly larger/more for a slightly higher price) simply became a starter. The extra portion of fries was not included. After informing the first waiter, who was interested, how it was, he first apologized sincerely and indicated that this would be taken into account when paying. Things went wrong here too. A new calculation had to be made twice, with a difference of almost €15 in the end. Now it is of course not about the money but rather about service and correctness. Too bad, because the restaurant is beautiful and has good quality food and drinks on offer.

Food was almost good, asked how the Bavette should be prepared, said medium was the middle between raw and medium. Otherwise good. Friendly service top!

Always nice to sit there in the sun at the Brink and enjoy a glass of wine and lunch.

Ate on the terrace at the brasserie. Enjoyed the starter (ribeye and salmon from the late summer menu). As a main course we had bavette with duchesse. Deliciously fried meat, but the duchesse were a bit dry and cold. Fortunately, the vegetables were nicely fried again. All in all, I really enjoyed the food. Also the delicacies with coffee. The service was friendly. Didn't have to wait long for drinks and food. The atmosphere on the terrace was pleasant. Very cozy under the large parasol. It was a shame that one cigarette after another was being smoked at a table next to us. Because the terrace is more or less closed off by the parasols and flower boxes, the smoke lingered well. That was very unpleasant. Smoking should not actually be allowed here.

Lovely terrace and very friendly service.

Delicious meal outside on the terrace. Casual atmosphere and pleasant service.

First time eating there. Had a nice seat on the terrace. Food good.. nice staff.

Food a bit poor (lunch) service and the quality of the food is very good.

Place and atmosphere is wonderful. Food took a very long time for lunch which did bring the experience down a bit. Food itself was fine so overall an okay experience. Just a shame it took really long

Nice view of a park, nice staff. Highly recommended for a special occasion. Greetings from Brabant 🤗

Had a drink at Mauve. Lovely place and sunny terrace to sit in the sun. The service is charmingly uncertain and experiencedly jovial. Super combination! One of our favorite spots in the summer!

Whenever I go to the Singer museum I always have lunch at Mauve.

Well done, despite the crowds and thanks to the top staff, fast good service. It's a pity that reservations are heavily used, which meant that some of the necessary spaces were left empty.

There is always room inside or outside. Even if you reserve late. Delicious food for a Sunday dinner.

What an oasis of culinary pleasure, even in the pouring rain after a visit to Breitner in the Singer Museum.

Fantastic historically important place with great coffee and lively cookies.

Having such a nice drink with lovely people, delicious drinks, the sun and on Mauve's terrace, what more could you want?

Went for breakfast. Almost all tables were reserved for lunch, at least 2 hours later. Ordered 2 brown sandwiches, not toasted. Do get toasted bread. Eggs were supposed to be sunny side up but were all broken. We also asked for butter, but we didn't get it. Asked again. The knives were so dull that you couldn't even cut bread with them. We won't do that again anytime soon.

After our visit to the Singer Museum, we settled down on the terrace. Enjoy your stay despite rain and wind. Terrace heating was turned on on request. We opted for the veggie snacks and nachos. They were delicious! Delicious beer, wine and gin and tonic.

What an upturned place. Terrible, you don't feel welcome here at all. You are looked at from head to toe. Never again. And the prices for coffee and tea are unbelievably expensive. Just coffee and tea, you're not drinking gold, are you?

Hospitality really insufficient. No clean dishes Mediocre food. Upon entering, a waitress already sneered that we had to keep walking while her colleague took us to a table. We had to ask for a new napkin, knife and twice a glass because they were not clean, the response from the staff was not nice (check and then put it down without saying anything). Drinks took a long time (even though it wasn't really busy). Then one person's glass was dirty and the other one had to wait. Indicated this twice when it was said that it was coming. When I asked the third time, a slightly older woman came and said that everything would be fine. When I indicated that it had already been requested several times, another person came and indicated that it was now in the system and would arrive after 5 minutes... 5 minutes not achieved... A lot went wrong with our neighbors too. Colleagues also criticized each other and no one provided a suitable solution.

Friendly staff good food nice sitting on the terrace

Quite ok, relatively expensive for very simple food. €13 sandwich, not very spectacular. Large gravy is quite small, but fresh. Location offers varied views, but a lot of traffic so also quite a bit of noise and exhaust fumes. Service decent.

Long wondered what the food would be like here. And of course Laren is on stand, so it will be expensive. Recently received a dinner voucher and decided to learn more about it here. Prices were average, so that wasn't too bad. Atmosphere, food and service were fantastic. So we won't ever go back here.

Had dinner at Mauve tonight. It was quite busy on the terrace, but we were kindly received by a waiter who immediately arranged a table for us. It was cozy, the food was tasty and the service was also excellent. The starter, a scallop ceviche, was very small. I would rather call that an amuse-bouche. But it was part of the two-course seasonal menu of only 29 euros, so we're not complaining. The ribeye main course was a good portion. By the way, the prices were very reasonable for a restaurant in a prosperous village, and this also applies to the drinks.

Great food and a nice wine list

Always excellent service. Good Team. Extra fun during a party with this super team

Standard bistro, fine, nothing special

Busy place with good service and delicious food! Friendly, fast and correct service. We had lunch and it was good portions and tasty. That's okay, because the prices are quite high. But yes, it is also Laren and at a popular point. Since it was raining and cold, we sat inside. Point of improvement, the acoustics, cacophony was amazing 🥴 Oh, and the link here to the menu doesn't work! And on the site it is quite confusing which menu you should go to for the menu, since they apparently have a bar and brasserie!? And by the way, the menu contains different versions of Eggs Benedict, including Classic & 'Florentine' and so on, but the ingredients have been mixed up a bit, they are not the original, so check the ingredients to see what you are ordering 😉

The weather was nice, the terrace was full, so we ate inside. It was 12:45 pm and 3 tables were occupied inside. My sister and I wanted to sit next to each other at a table for 4 (tables pushed together for 2), but the staff told us twice that that was not possible... how many customers do you want to have after 1 p.m.? Food was tasty, atmosphere inside mediocre. Service is good but not special. Lots of attention to the outside.

Centrally located in Laren. Nice restaurant with a large terrace. Nice and smooth service and a good menu

Cozy both inside and outside. Extensive opening hours and options.

Nice location in the heart of Laren.

Cozy restaurant with a clear menu. Excellent price-quality, well-prepared and tasty dishes. Enthusiastic and attentive wait staff.

Lunchtime: The food was tasty but the portions could have been a bit larger. Well, you actually had to hold your stomach to sit down at the table because of the lack of space. One less table would have been nice. It's also a shame that the second glass of wine ordered never arrived.

Delicious lunch with poached egg and salmon. Friendly service. Very warm inside.

Friendly service and wide choice of wines. Enjoy sitting on the terrace under the heaters with a red wine, cheese and olives.

Weather for the outside terrace!

Delicious lunch. Attentive staff.

Food ok but nothing special, price-quality ratio just not good, cocktails really not that tasty, service friendly but unprofessional (e.g. forgetting to bring things, not paying attention after eating, etc.)

Upscale place with good wines & bites. Friendly service.

No judgment about the food because we had a nice drink today and didn't eat.

I only sat outside here, had a drink under a warm heater...beautiful Christmas view of Mauve herself and Laren. Very friendly service and enjoyed it! My kids had dinner there last week and they were also very enthusiastic about everything. So Shappoo!

Brasserie Bar Mauve surpassed all expectations as a charming and inviting brasserie. The ambiance exudes a pleasant atmosphere, setting the stage for an enjoyable dining experience. From the warm service to the satisfying culinary offerings, this place is a true gem. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a delightful and fulfilling brasserie experience.

Lunch gehad. Eggs benedictine. Niet zoals ik gewend ben. Kleine portie. Vriendelijke bediening.

Afgelopen zaterdag, enorm goed gegeten het vlees was van goede kwaliteit! Wij werden goed geholpen door het personeel en er was lekkere wijn!

Gezellige drukke tent midden in Laren. Ben hier voor de tweede keer geweest omdat het goed beviel

Zo druk binnen, zaten we dus buiten. Ondanks de kou en de regen bij de warmte van een paar heaters. Aardig geholpen.

Prima restaurant maar te prijzig voor wat er geserveerd wordt

Eten niets bijzonders...bestel brioche met zalm, krijg met ham. Bediening laat daarnaast te wensen over. Zeker als op een koude novemberdag een van de personeelsleden de deur naast mijn tafel open houdt naar het terras om ook daar te dekken. Als ik hem vriendelijk vraag die deur te sluiten, doet hij daar niet aan mee omdat hij anders 3 meter moet omlopen voor hij weer naar binnen kan. Onbegrijpelijke klantenservice! Sfeer goed, zaak bomvol op vrijdag lunchtijd, sfeer ongeëvenaard. De moeite waard dus, maar ze mogen wel nog wat puntjes op de "i" zetten.

Gezellige sfeer en lekker geluncht! Super vriendelijk personeel.

Prima gegeten, niet uitzonderlijk, maar de sfeer is er wel geweldig! Zeker een aanrader!

Het eten was weer lekker, bediening vriendelijk en enthousiast. Sfeer was goed.

Goede sfeer, prima kaart, lekker eten. Goed bereikbaar.

Heerlijk terras voor een drankje en lunch. Vriendelijk personeel.

Heerlijk terras, genoeg te zien. En fijne sfeer.

Mooi terras, maar wat te chaotisch en middelmatig eten.

De club sandwich was echt super lekker, maar ik had een spa blauw besteld en die is nooit gebracht. Dus helaas twee sterren aftrek voor service. Verder wel echt een leuk restaurant.

Bij toeval op het terras beland. Leuke locatie om een drankje te doen. Uitzicht over een kruispunt en de kerk van Laren. Wel vonden wij de bestelde Bitter Lemon wat duur nl €4,60 per flesje. Verder oke, er werd zelfs een heater aan gedaan omdat een van ons het wat fris vond.

Goede sfeer leuke pittoreske plek vooral buiten op het terras.

Het nieuwe Mauve is helemaal top! Hele goede bediening en heerlijk eten met prima wijnen, aanrader!

Lekker weer voor drankje op terras. Dus over het eten geen opmerkingen, service was goed.

Heerlijk terras voor een koffie of lunch. Top eten ook. Soms wat te weinig bediening maar wel aardig!
