MENTA in Wijk 00: Valkenburg

We had a wonderful, authentic Greek meal! The tzatziki deserves a 6*... the owner is passionate and eager to please. And the food is truly delicious. If it's busy, you might have to wait a bit longer, but it's definitely worth it. It was so good that we even went twice during our vacation.

Very good Greek food, friendly service that cares about the customer, nice atmosphere, I recommend

Super place with cosy atmosphere, a very friendly staff, and great food! If you are looking for greek food in Valkenburg check this place out!

The food was great. The most tender chicken and pork I’ve had in a long while! (Usually folks tend to overcook and dry the chicken) The firsts were also great, but really what stood out is the superb service and true kindness of the staff. They went above and beyond and did especially well with my 4yo daughter, so I’d even argue this place is very child friendly 10/10 would recommend

The food was excellent — truly authentic Greek cuisine made with high-quality ingredients. Everything tasted amazing and the portions were big. The owner, Mixalis, is very friendly and welcoming and the service was also excellent from start to finish. I highly recommend this place

Very good food. I recommend!!!♥️⭐✨

As a Greek, I can say that this is a cuisine serving authentic dishes on super high quality. Service on fleek, even during the busy Christmas Days 🫶

Very nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Highly recommended. We'll be back.

Ive eaten in all the Greek restaurants in Valkenburg.. This is my favourite for the food. The chef has a passion for cooking and is proud of his food . I agree

Best Greek restaurant of my life! It has everything: a warm atmosphere, quality food, and generous portions (impossible to finish the dish)... A place I recommend without hesitation!

The four of us had a wonderful meal here. We always visit Greek restaurants when we're on vacation, and this one is absolutely fantastic. We ordered the Menta mixed grill and the Chirino Lion Rack. Large portions of super-delicious meat. Delicious fries and tasty tzatziki. A large bowl of Greek salad. The friendly, enthusiastic, and proud owner works incredibly hard and delivers on his promises, straight from the heart! A well-intentioned tip: warming trays and preheated larger plates would elevate the restaurant even further. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

A wonderful welcome, a passionate owner proud of his achievement, delicious food. A superb discovery. The atmosphere. Greece in all its beauty.

Genuinely delicious food, and a very friendly service! I'm eating leftovers as I'm writing this and they're still amazingly good. I will need to find more excuses to go to Valkenburg so we can eat here! We tried several recommendations and we honestly loved everything. Great vegetarian options too!

An absolute gem in Valkenburg! Menta truly brings real Greek culture and cuisine to life. The food is incredibly fresh, full of authentic flavors, and everything we tried was excellent. Portions are generous, and you can truly taste the love and passion for cooking in every dish. What really makes this place special is the owner: without a doubt one of the most hospitable, genuine, and kind people we’ve ever met. You feel welcome from the moment you walk in. On top of that, the prices are very fair for the quality you get. Authentic Greek food, warm hospitality, and great value — highly recommended!

We had a delicious meal. Mixed grill for two. More than enough. We couldn't finish it. Everything was very well prepared, and the service was friendly and efficient.

Great food, relaxed atmosphere and very helpful staff

Oh my goodness, the food was incredible!! Our host was really attentive and is clearly very passionate about food. The portions were big and well worth the money and the overall atmosphere was pleasant and authentic Greek. Would 100% recommend, English speaking too.

Food was fantastic, full of flavour and perfectly cooked.

Top owner. Guy has a passion for food. Would recommend

The food was excellent. We have eaten in a few places in Valkenburg over the last week or so. This place was amazing.

Very tasty Greek food, we tried the mixed grill sand everything was very tasty, especially the bifteki. Service was perfect sand looking forward to visit again!

That was truly excellent. Greek beer, delicious ouzo, and the food was perfectly seasoned. Definitely one of the best Greek restaurants we've been to so far!

Nice cozy restaurant, delicious food, friendly service. We come here regularly.

What a great restaurant! Delicious food. Superb service. What service! You don't see that very often these days! We recommend everyone to eat here. It's not exactly on the main thoroughfare. That's why it's a hidden gem.

We went back after two years. The food is still excellent; for us, it's the best Greek restaurant so far. The food is delicious and fresh, and the quantity is ample. Even the ouzo tasted better, and we got to try the raki with it, which is also highly recommended.

Had dinner on Thursday, November 13th at 5:30 PM. Great service. Enjoyed a good meal, but they even advised me not to order tjaziki beforehand so it would be included with the main course. I think that's great that they mention that.

I ate at this Greek restaurant on Friday, November 7, 2025. We received a warm welcome upon arrival. The food was delicious; you could tell they put a lot of time and attention into it. I had a nice chat with the owner. The restaurant has a charming atmosphere and the staff are hardworking, which makes for a wonderful meal. Highly recommended if you're looking for Greek food. I recommend the delicious ouzo drink he has. Greetings, Angelo

Super fresh food , great service and kids friendly. Recommanded. We will come back for sure.

We had a wonderful meal with a group of nine. The waiter was very enthusiastic and made us feel completely at home! Delicious food, classic Greek dishes, and delicious Greek drinks. A very enjoyable evening!

Amazing food and great hospitality!!!

Very tasty food, friendly staff and lovely vibes! Totally recommended.

Menta has to be the best restaurant I've visited in years! The food was excellent and the service was even better!! You can really tell the owner loves what he does and puts a lot of care into his restaurant. Whenever we visit Valkenburg we will also be visiting Menta! Can't wait to come back. 11/10.

We had a delicious meal. We received a warm welcome from the enthusiastic owner. He's thoughtful about every detail; nothing is too much trouble. He even came by for a friendly chat. The fix completes the picture.

We had a super delicious meal, I've never had such a good Greek meal. Try the mayonnaise and the Greek beer. Fix, along with the lovely host, made this a very pleasant evening. It makes it

The food is top-notch and so delicious. The owner is passionate about food. Please take a detour around the corner from the tourist area. Truly delicious.

Very, very friendly staff. The food tastes good. Highly recommended!

Welcoming staff and very good greek food. For 1h30, we were really in Greece :)

The meat wasn't dry and otherwise of average to slightly above-average quality for a run-of-the-mill Greek restaurant. The service was a bit too pushy for me.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, this Greek restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. The host’s enthusiasm was infectious, he made us feel like honored guests at a family gathering rather than customers in a restaurant. The authentic Greek flavors were nothing short of spectacular. Every dish tasted fresh, vibrant, and lovingly prepared, from the perfectly seasoned souvlaki to the creamy tzatziki that transported us straight to the Aegean. You can taste the pride and passion in every bite. The atmosphere was equally inviting, with lively energy and a cozy, Mediterranean vibe. It’s clear that this place isn’t just about serving food, it’s about sharing the heart and soul of Greek culture. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience true Greek hospitality and unforgettable flavors. Five stars without a doubt!

Delicious Greek food with a passionate host! Simply fantastic!

We went here for dinner last week, based on reviews, which we might otherwise have missed since it's not on our main route. We had a wonderful meal here; you can really taste the difference in the quality of the ingredients and products. Wonderfully fresh and flavorful. The owner goes out of his way to offer you a delicious wine as well. Their willingness to go the extra mile for their guests, combined with the delicious food, makes this a solid 5 stars.

A very Greek experience! We felt like being back in Greece again! Super friendly owner, delicious well seasoned food, maybe the gyros was a bit too salty for our taste but all the other meals we tried were great! Ouzou and Greek cheesecake were much appreciated. Will come back for sure.

Amazing food, amazing owner who truly has a passion for his restaurant and products. Best Greek food I’ve had in NL!

Delicious food. Personal and authentic advice on Greek dishes.

Great food! The owner is very friendly and helpful! Plenty of gluten-free and dairy-free options too. It was thoughtfully prepared and delivered neatly packaged! THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD SERVICE

Very delicious with good quality food and kind people

One of the few non-tourist trap, authentic places in town. Everything was amazing!

A must visit in Valkenburg! Traditional Greek cuisine at its finest! Service , food , atmosphere all top notch! Μπράβο Μιχάλη

We had a wonderful meal at this authentic Greek restaurant. The friendly owner serves delicious, finger-licking good food.

Food is superb. They know how to season the food really well. It is tasty and big serving. The meat plate from the photo is for single person. It is grilled with proper amount of seasoning and juicy. The salmon is fresh and cooked properly. The coffee is nice as well with a proper blend of bitterness and creaminess without too much sugar. Value for money is worth it. The owner is really friendly and very much accommodating. They also have a clean and homey atmosphere. You will leave the place with a big and fulfilled tummy. 💯 recommended.

The food is truly fantastic. I really hope to come back soon!

If you're looking for Greek food in Valkenburg, this is the place. They cook with passion and love. Delicious food and drinks in a very cozy setting.

We had a wonderful evening with incredibly delicious food, a very passionate owner full of stories which allowed us to enjoy the specialties even more.

Delicious food and great service. Nice people and classy place.

The restaurant is fantastic, everything is delicious, the service is excellent, and the prices are reasonable. I definitely recommend it.

We recommend going just a little further for this Greek restaurant. In a slightly different, less crowded atmosphere, the owner's dishes create a special and culinary experience.

Great place, best Greek restaurant I've eaten at in the Netherlands, the owner/chef knows exactly what he's doing and gives you all sorts of things to try!

Delicious food and large portions. Very good value for money. Friendly coock.

Super lekkere en kwaliteitsvolle gerechten. Genoten van de aparte suggesties van de enthousiaste eigenaar! We komen zeker terug om alle lekkers te proeven!

Delicious food. Imagine the sea and stray cats, and you're in Greece.

A refreshingly modern Greek eatery. The enthusiastic owner passionately explains the dishes. Gyros platter, Melitzanes (eggplant platter), bourgiourdi (cheese, tomato, and pepper platter). Fresh and prepared with passion. House raki. A truly wonderful experience.

Not a traditional Greek restaurant. The meat was dry. The cold coffee was sickly sweet. The fries were poorly cooked and came with no sauce. The salad was meager. Tzatziki sauce wasn't even included. You have to order it separately. Beware: if you order tea, you'll get Greek green lemon tea. I had high expectations due to the high rating (4.8) on Google reviews. It was on the menu, but no Red Bull, but there was toasted sandwich, teriyaki, Gouda cheese, and more.

Mixed grill for two was delicious. The accompanying fries, salad, rice, and homemade mayonnaise were delicious. The service was friendly. Greek music in the background completed the evening.

The food is tasty, just perfect. Fresh products cooked the best way they could be. The service is excellent, every client's wish is heard and fulfilled.

Really delicious food, highly recommended!!

Truly delicious and authentic Greek food. Very good and friendly service! I would come back anytime. I've never had such good Greek food outside of Greece.

Very friendly service, great food and wine, a little bit of Greece in Limburg

Great food, friendly owner and very hospitable ! Definitely visit the place

Had a great meal, tender chicken. Good Greek food. Clean toilets.

Great service, delicious food Friendly service

What a beautiful gem in Valkenburg this restaurant is... Greek food in an authentic and original way, and only the highest quality ingredients are used. The owner and chef of the restaurant has a lot of passion for his work and is extremely hospitable. He let us taste his own creations and shared all the details about the food. We ordered the menta mixed grill (2 pers.), gyros club sandwich, and vegetarian moussaka. All 3 delicious dishes. Dessert was a gift from the chef. Really worth eating if you are in the area of ​​Valkenburg!

Very good food. Best greek restaurant

The service was excellent and very fast, the waiter was also very kind and very helpful!! For us the restaurant and its food fully deserve the 5 stars!!

Wat een vriendelijke en gastvrije eigenaar. Heerlijk gegeten (op maandag) en verwend met mooie verhalen en nagerecht. We komen zeker terug!

This Greek gives his passion of the culinary Greek kitchen with a lot of love, full of taste and a great host. Too bad we don't have this Greek restaurant near us, but I would definitely travel 250km to join him again. Really felt like I was back on Crete, my favorite holiday destination!

Who can stop the river that runs towards the sea? The only thing missing were the stray cats around the table and the sea in front of the restaurant, it seemed like we were in Greece! Well done Michalis, it was an honor to have dinner with you! See you next time!

Today I had the pleasure of dining at MENTA, and I have to say, the steak was simply incredible! Perfectly prepared, juicy, and full of flavor—a true feast for the palate. The ambiance was also super cozy and inviting, just right for a relaxing evening. But the best part was definitely the staff—super friendly and attentive, they really went the extra mile. I can't wait to come back 🙌

The food here is really delicious! We had a mixed grill for 2 people and this was really enough! Everything tasted fresh and the meat was good and not dry. The owner (chef) was super friendly and really had passion for his work. And you noticed and tasted this! This was really the best Greek I have been to and we will definitely come back!

Broke my stereotypes of the greek food. Fresh ingredients nice amount of food Even the salt is greek salt Nice atmosphere and service Enough sauce to finish the meat I love everything

Long wait. Partner got it before me. Vegetarian option not tasty.

Gezellig restaurant met goed eten vriendelijk personeel. Gaan er zeker nog een keer naartoe als wij weer in de buurt zijn.

Overheerlijk echt Grieks gegeten! Mooie aparte gerechten met passie en trots geserveerd. De eigenaar en tevens bediening is heel vriendelijk, laat je diverse mogelijkheden proeven en geeft jou het vertrouwen speciaal voor jou iets lekkers op tafel te zetten. Zeker een grote aanrader!

A hidden gem in Valkenburg! MENTA is a cozy and stylish Greek-Mediterranean restaurant with a warm, welcoming vibe. The food is fresh and full of flavor — we especially loved the scampi saganaki, sweet baked feta, and homemade pita bread. Great options for vegetarians and vegans too. The cocktails and Greek-style coffee (like freddo cappuccino) were a great surprise, and the desserts were delicious. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and really make you feel at home. 📍 Tip: Try their shared dining menu or the 4-course Greek set. Perfect for a relaxed evening with good food and atmosphere. Highly recommended if you’re in Valkenburg!

What a lovely cosy place to eat We had a very good meal, old-fashioned Greek food

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.

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.

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

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.
