MENTA in Wijk 00: Valkenburg

Traditional Greek restaurant. Dishes as you would expect from a Greek restaurant. Friendly service, definitely worth it.

The staff is nice and sweet and the food is delicious 🤤 😋

First of all, the waiter is the best. Super friendly, making special kids cocktails, offering the better beer. The food was good but the kitchen too slow. It was too busy for the poor waiter and the kitchen obviously could not manage. Thats too bad because this restaurant could have gotten 5 stars from me, but because the under staffing they get 4.

Went here for dinner and couldn't use my American Express card but the owner was very accommodating and friendly and figured out a way to help me get it to work. He also gave me free a free drink and kept me company till I got my food.... Food is delicious and authentic, would definitely recommend if you want good food and great service. Better atmosphere and quality than the restaurants down the street

Really lovely food, very tasteful and carefully prepared. The owner is a very kind and cheerful, passionate chef and that really adds to the experience. We enjoyed the pasta with mushrooms (Orzo) very much: fresh ingredients and the best cheese on top and the "cherry on the cake" must have been this delicious balance of flavours. What more can you ask for? Greek food with Italian precision. The restaurants' ambience is relaxing and cozy: cheerful soft, Greek music in the background and an owner who likes to make his guests truly happy. His authenticity and dedication and the food really did ❤️☺️ Some minor, improvements could only be softer chairs (but we sat on it for hours, so that's maybe the exception) and a little faster service, though, we really give this a 9,5 out of 10 which is great! Well done! Hopefully till next time☀️ Kind regards, S.

Food was good. Host very friendly. And does his utmost. Also recommends the "own" products, such as their local drink. Is tasty with the note of honey in it.

Amazing and try the Gerovassiliou wine! Thats a winner!

Michalis is a super chef and his restaurant was a good surprise! I recommend try it!

Niet normaal hoe vriendelijk en hoe goed en lekker bereid, laat je van alles proeven, verteld alles wat je wil weten, maar dringt zich absoluut niet op, jammer dat hij in Valkenburg zit en niet dichter bij ons. Ik denk dat liefde, passie en kunde voor het Griekse eten hier echt samen komen. Absoluut naar toe !!!

The food was great. The atmosphere amazing. Service exceptional. Highly recommend

Amazing Greek food, authentic taste and top quality of ingredients. The chef and owner of the restaurant is super friendly and explained passionately each dish. Good luck!

Walk through the busy street and go to MENTA! Really worth it. Very tasty food (the tzaziki with pita, eggplant, kolokithokeftedes) and for a very good price. And what fantastic sweet service. The owner really wants to please you and recommends his best products. So much passion for really good food!

Delicious food. Top service and excellent hospitality. As you are used to in Greece! Gyros were great.. Pita Gyros as well. Makes you feel like you're on holiday again!

Now for the 2nd time and just as delicious as the first time. Friendly staff and price-quality is excellent. I will definitely come back here.

Best Greek food we have had! Delicious and amazing service

Very good food, and very good service. 100% recommended.

The owner is incredibly sweet, enthusiastic and genuinely cares for his guests. I rarely see this in the Netherlands, but here you can really feel it. Delicious food also, will definitely come back! ❤️

The food and service was great! Authentic greek food🇬🇷

The service was exceptional. The food was excellent. You can tell Michael, the owner, goes above and beyond in every way. This is a man that truly loves what he does and he loves his customers. The experience isn’t just the good food, it’s the warmth of hospitality and the immediate care you feel you’re under once you get there. Not as polished or buttoned down as some of the other local establishments in town, but that adds to its charm in my opinion. It why you need to come and experience this place for yourself. It’s a personal experience. This is a unique and engaging experience between the owner, his passions for food, and you.

Cena deliziosa e ambiente accogliente super consigliato per i sapori greci autentici che sanno esprimere in ogni piatto

A super nice and enthusiastic host who is happy to share his knowledge and passion if you show interest. The plates are well filled and the truffle orzo and pita gyros are recommended!

Thank you for everything Michael…

We were almost the only guests this evening. Owner was super enthusiastic. He has only had the case since December. Still need to gain some experience. Forgot to clear serving spoons from the salad and table and it wasn't even busy yet. But his enthusiasm made up for everything. Gave tips for drinks and food. Consumptions not too expensive. Delicious dishes and tasty Reiki appetizer. Received pita bread for free and also a cheesecake. In short, a delicious meal at a great price. Nicely decorated. In our opinion, highly recommended.

The best food I've had in a looong time! Delicious and made with love. The owner is really welcoming and kind.

Wonderful food and extremely kind and accommodating staff!

Delicious food and friendly staff

Delicious food, ever since the new owner took over the food has been even better. The meat is so tender, juice ans well spiced, the tzatziki is to die for, they even make their own mayonaise to go with their great fries! The saltiness of the fries could be a little less, but that might be my personal preference. 10/10, you won't be disappointed if you choose to eat here.

Had an excellent greek dinner at Menta during our trip in Valkenburg. Everything was delicious and personnel very helpful and nice. Thank you!

Authentic food and super friendly owner. The atmosphere is warm and relaxing. It was a great evening!

I recently spent a business weekend in Valkenburg and sought out a restaurant suitable for solo dining. To my delight, I had a thoroughly enjoyable evening: the starter, main course, and dessert were all exquisite. Special recognition goes to the owner, whose passion for his craft is evident in his dedication to offering quality products. I also had the opportunity to sample various Greek beverages. I will undoubtedly return and I really recommend you this restaurant.

As a Greek I highly encourage you to visit this amazing restaurant! To begin with ,they serve dishes made from fresh products. The chef has a great taste and the selection of the dishes is based on the traditional Greek cuisine but with an elegant way of executing and serving! Their selection of wines and tsipouro is great ! If you are vegetarian, vegan or pesceterian you have a variety of choices equally delicious to the regular cuisine. Don't hesitate to ask the chef for suggestions ,he is willing and happy to explain everything! Last but not least, the music and the decoration are of great taste and represent the artistic side of a nice Greek restaurant!

Friendly staff Delicious food, would love to come back again.

You can taste the passion and love that goes into the food. Very friendly owner who is very open about his passion. He also let me taste his favorite wine. Highly recommended!

Whatever I ordered was really tasty and well thought out. Definitely going to be my hangout!

Very good, just starting, with passion

We absolutely enjoyed our visit to Menta. The food was very tasty and the service was great, you will be completely pampered here! We will definitely come back :-).

We just stopped here because of the good reviews...It's really the case that it's hospitable and super delicious...We felt so comfortable from the first minute...The innkeeper has a heart of a person... .just everyone there...

Super enthusiastic owner who explains in detail about the food that is prepared. You've got to love this. Vegan options limited but tasty.

Delicious food, very hospitable! The new owner is a man with a passion for his profession, Ευχαριστώ!

We were there for the first time after the change of ownership, on New Year's Eve, very friendly and courteous owner and service, nice and cozy "tavern atmosphere", food very tasty, also a recommendation to try gyros with vegetables (very tasty ), you can be surprised...we will come back.

I booked a table here for New Year's Eve. The food was very good. The staff doesn't speak Dutch, but that didn't bother me as long as the service didn't suffer.

The food alone is incredible. We got the mixed grill for 2 and it was a lot of food. The service was good when we were the only ones in there but as a few tables started to fill up we had to wait over 25 minutes for a box for our leftovers, and that was also without paying... If you're not in a rush and you want some delicious Greek food, you'd have a better experience but there is surely no arguing about the fact that the quality of the food itself is great here.

Great host! Visited on a Monday evening so it was very quiet. The portions were ample and tasty. Very child friendly. By the way, it is under new ownership since December 2024.

Great food. Great host. The service was a little slow but it was understandable as they were low on staff and it was a reallly busy xmas week. The host ensured to compensate with a few desserts and drinks thereby showing his mindfulness for customer satisfaction. All in all a great experience

Great Greek restaurant owner with his heart in the right place. He chooses his own ingredients and likes to let his guests taste everything.

De gastheer is een ware entertainer met veel enthousiasme en overtuiging legt de verschillende gerechten uit. De gastvrijheid spat er vanaf. De gerechten zijn authentiek Grieks, wat je snel doet wegdromen naar Griekenland. Je krijgt zeker voldoende voor je geld. De moeite waard als je van de Griekse keuken houdt.

The best greek restaraurant in Netherlands! Really good freshly made food and amazing service! Every meal and time spent worth it! Whole family loved it! 😋❤️🤩

Ordered, upon delivery: well the fries weren't even pre-fried yet, we still had to finish frying them. Unappetizing cheese on burger. And not at all what you would expect for 83 euros! Never again. Never again.

Menta is a lovely Greek restaurant that’s perfect for any occasion! The food was super delicious we finished every plate, and the service was warm and attentive. The kind owner and cozy atmosphere made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

The meat here is really great. The service couldn't be better, everything was well explained and we received a complimentary drink. They are very passionate about their culture and food here.

Cozy place, very polite staff. He knows how to advise, also offering typical tastings of the country of origin.

Really delicious food and the Greek drinks were delicious The service is really friendly and helpful, which is rare The atmosphere could be a little more cozy by reducing the lighting and music a little All in all, we come from Zeeland but would travel 2 hours for this restaurant

A very nice and cosy restaurant! The owner Michael is very polite, professional and passionate about his job! He describes us all the ingredients and the procedure to make the dishes! We really suggest it!

Friendly staff. Good food and drinks.

Amazing place super food super nice service sweet owner the food has much taste

Very tasty food, good atmosphere, good service. I was entertained by a drink with an explanation of the origin while waiting for the food. Gives a real Greek atmosphere.

The service deserves more than 5 stars.

Only got drinks. Very welcoming, great service and very enjoyable. Made us try different things and explained recipes. I would love to come back here.

Great coffee, real Greek coffee! Waiters know their food and drinks and are willing to explain about the quality of the Greek kitchen! Great experience and servicen

Super tasty! Highly recommended, Greek but special and slightly different. New owners are super friendly and make it a party! We are fans.

The food was absolutely delicious!! Having lived in Greece, it was really top-notch and authentic. I recommend trying a mix of different starters and dips, and Michael (the owner) really puts all his love into all of the food. The staff has great hospitality, and the overall restaurant has a wonderful vibe.

We only had a coffee, but we were still served like queens and kings. Very warm, absolutely authentic, great coffee. We felt like we were in Greece. THANKS!

Ordered via home delivery. Mixed grill p.p. €22.00 Food really delicious, tender and crispy. No salad and very few gyros and fries. In terms of price and quantity below arrow!

We ordered the menta grill for 2, fired mushrooms and tigania. When it was delivered it was a whole other order, so i called the restaurant to explain the situation, the owner explained thuisbezorgd did not change his menu so orders come through wrong. He asked me what i would like from the menu and he would provide it, so i said surpise me, 25 minutes later he was at my door, and explained he brought us chicken with rice and some amazing sauce, home made cheese croquettes like with also some amazing sauce, and a awesome dessert. Then he said it was 30 euro, we did not discuss that, on the phone it sounded like he would bring it no charge, he understood and it was misscommunication and he said its a gift from me is okay. We wanted to take the time to write this review in hopes the owner sees it to. We wish you all the best, we thank you very much for the amazing food, service and the great solution to the food mix up, we hope thuisbezorgd will compensate you for your great efforts. If you read this review, please visit them and support this lovely family buiseniss

A very nice restaurant, great food, good taste, warm service, nice decoration. Recommend!

After a long day of walking we had a delicious meal here! The food was very tasty and freshly prepared. We were helped very friendly and quickly, and the prices were good. Definitely recommended!

We had a very nice meal on the terrace of this Greek restaurant, which is located in a quieter place in Valkenburg. Really good quality of the meat from the Mixed Grill and the rice was very tasty, as was the salad. Friendly, English-speaking Greek service. Highly recommended to visit this new restaurant

The food is great, very authentic and full of flavor. The ice cream is Greek and it's full of flavor, highly recommended. The service is also great, both r chef and the waiter were very friendly.

A little off the beaten track, but quiet, very friendly service and very good food at reasonable prices. We'll definitely come back.

Really nice place. Already repeat customers. Feta rolls were delicious, and the Greek wine was even better! Service very friendly and very accommodating to allergies.

Hands down the best Greek restaurant I have ate at ever. Food was delicious, server was helpful and nice, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming.

Booked via home-ordered; friendly staff who offered a drink before waiting. Enjoyed the delicious food at home.

Everyone here is very helpful and very, very friendly. However, points are deducted because of the waiting time. There were only 3 tables occupied and we had to wait about 50 minutes for the starter. The food was good, but nothing exceptional. We would still come back 👍

It was a great experience from the moment we entered to, the time we left. Demitre was amazing and the chef really out did himself. My husband was super impressed. 👌

Heerlijk gegeten. Kwaliteit goed eten en ook nog een vegetarische/ veganistische mogelijkheden. Super lief en net personeel. Ik kom hier zeker terug. Echt een aanrader.

We had a delicious vegetarian meal with all starters and bread. The rose was also delicious. There was a lovely breeze outside on a muggy day. We enjoyed!

Really tasty, real Greek food. Real Greek music. Doing!

The food was really tasty😍 the service and the ambience were also excellent. We would like to come again!!!!!

Great restaurant, excellent service and excellent food. Definitely going back.

No vegetables, salad or garnish. Only rice (couldn't choose fries as the menu indicated). Had rice and three skewers. Smelled very much of smoke inside. Staff is friendly.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Restaurant run by family and you can feel that they do it with passion. Amazing food freshly cooked, very authentic. Great wine recommended by the owner. Beautiful interior and very clean place. Fantastic atmosphere, very friendly staff . Highly recommend.

Beautiful atmosphere, friendly environment and delicious food. Excellent service, I highly recommend it.

Delicious dinner March 23, 2024 in the evening. Delicious dishes, friendly service, good prices. And the chef really does his best to give you the best food. TIP: the gyros are delicious! And if you book online and it doesn't work, just call! We would love to come back again.

Heerlijk gegeten voor een goede prijs. Erg lekkere gerechten. De kok doet echt zijn best om je een top avond te bezorgen. Vriendelijk personeel!

Amazing hospitality and food. Cozy place with absolutely delicious meals that make's you want to come back many times :)

Absolutely fabulous place. We did not expect much, just wanted to eat some greek food though we vere struck with surprisingly welcoming attitude and absolutely delicious food. Honestly, there is no better restaurant in The Netherlands, I would come here every week if only I lived closer. I would go to Valkenburg again JUST for this restaurant. Thank you! 11/10 :)))

Hebben voorgerecht gegeten was ok. Daarna hoofdgerecht mix grill. Dit was gewoon vettig vlees en echt niet lekker. We hebben de helft laten staan.

Fat drips from the meat Either it is burnt or undercooked Draft beer on Saturday evening during the Christmas period Staff is very annoying, absent-minded and the friendliness is on holiday I think I could even get a draft beer at the snack point Never again

Produits frais et bons Accueil chaleureux malgré l’heure tardive à 22h Personnel sympathique et souriant On a très bien mangé et plein de saveurs très bon rapport qualité prix Encore merci 🙏

Wonderful place to eat. You really get into the Greek mood, the food, the music and the staff really give you the Greek feeling. Definitely recommended, the location is not large but very attractive.

Had to wait 45 minutes for the starter and it wasn't busy. We had a mixed grill for 2 people, and everything ended up with a heap of weak fries. Also no atmosphere and boring decor.

Not a traditional Greek restaurant. Meat dry. The cold coffee was sickly sweet. Fries poorly cooked, no sauce. Salad was meager. There was nothing standard about Tzatziki sauce. Can be ordered separately. Please note, if you order tea you will receive Greek green lemon tea.. Had high expectations regarding high rating (4.8) on google reviews. On the menu but no Redbull, there is toast, teriyaki, Gouda cheese and more.

Vriendelijk personeel, hoge kwaliteit prijsgarantie

Het 1e griekse restaurant dat hun menu deels aanpast naar je wensen, daarbij krijg je goed advies. Eten zelf is heerlijk, het is duidelijk dat alles vers gemaakt wordt, incl de hamburger. Service is erg vriendelijk.

Super lekker Grieks gegeten, vriendelijk personeel en betaalbare gerechten!

We decided to eat here, since the reviews were very good (4,8 out of 360 reviews). The service was incredibly slow, the staff seemed inexperienced. The bright green lights on the terrace make the food look very unappealing. The food was decent at most, the portions were very small. They were also completely out of desserts, which is very bizarre. All in all, to be completely honest, the high reviews of this restaurant almost seem fake. If you are looking for a Greek / Mediterranean restaurant, I suggest looking for another restaurant in Valkenburg, as there are plenty.

Der guten Bewertung wegen, haben wir dieses Restaurant an einer Hauptverkehrsstraße besucht. Das Ambiente war kühl und einfach. Beim freundlichen Personal bestellten wir 2 Vorspeisen und den Grillteller für 2 Personen mit Salat und Fritten. Der Grillteller war sehr gut belegt und das Fleisch war gut. Beim Salat handelte es sich um einen frisch gehobelten Weißkohl mit einzelnen Karottenstreifen. Ein Dressing konnten wir leider nicht finden, also Rohkost pur. Die hier servierten Fritten waren die schlechtesten, und das in Holland, die wir je gegessen haben. Sie waren matschig, mit altem Fett durchtränkt. Aus unserer Sicht so nicht zu empfehlen.

Een burger eten in een Grieks restaurant, waarom ook niet! (Neem dan de Griekse burger). Aardige Griekse dame met goede adviezen erbij. Lekker sfeertje en hier komen we nog een keertje.

Heerlijk gegeten een echte aanrader. Alles vers gemaakt. Smaak en kwaliteit voortreffelijk en authentiek Grieks. Zeer klantvriendelijk en attente bediening. Goede kaart met veel vegan en vegetarische opties. Wij komen graag vanuit de Randstad speciaal hierheen gereden!

Super lekker gegeten hier. Authentieke griekse gerechten die heerlijk zijn. Ook heel vriendelijke bediening!
