Proeflokaal Bregje Emmen in Wijk 42 Emmermeer

The food was really delicious, plenty of choices. Really great

Nice spot. Atmosphere reasonably good. Service below par. We ate with 5 people. 3 received their main course. 2 had to wait an hour and a half for their main course. Even after indicating that we hadn't received our food yet, we were asked twice if we had finished eating. Several people around us also had to wait a long time for their food. No solutions were offered. Received a small compensation when paying the bill. We won't be coming back to this place.......a shame.

We were here 4 times last week and all 4 times it was good. Friendly staff, tasty food, good price!

Delicious food!!! I had the Oriental trio as a starter, delicious! For the main course, spareribs, nice and tender, they slide right off the bone. For dessert, the melted cookie, truly my favorite, everything was so tasty!!!!😊

The food was delicious, the atmosphere cozy, and the service top-notch.

Tasty food at a good price. The atmosphere and service were great. One of the coziest Bregjes around.

A very tasty three-course meal. Lovely atmosphere. When it's very busy, the food unfortunately takes a little longer.

Tasty and affordable. Very busy and noisy though.

Trio of fish, soggy toast. Hamburger almost cold, bun soaking wet. Affagato half melted. Not again.

Delicious food at a great price.

Terrible service, and unfortunately, we also got sick after our visit. Upon arrival, we were seated behind a wall. Because of this, we quickly got the impression that the wait staff couldn't see us properly. After about 15 minutes, a waitress looked our way and said cheerfully: “Oh sorry, I didn't see you.” Next, we were given the menus and asked what we wanted to drink. After that, it took another 15 minutes or so for our drinks and the starter to arrive. Subsequently, we had to wait about an hour for the main course. In the meantime, we tried to order drinks again. We approached a waitress and received the reply: “I’ll just send a colleague.” This colleague never came. Later, another waitress came by who indicated that she would pass on that our desserts could be prepared. We asked if we could get coffee with the dessert at the same time. Her response was: “I’ll do my best.” The dessert arrived about 15 minutes later, but the coffee was missing. Eventually, it took another 10 minutes or so before the coffee arrived. It was said that the coffee machine was acting up, while we could see from our table that no one was standing by the machine during that time. When paying, we indicated that, as far as we were concerned, the service could really have been better. In response, we were told that it was “just very busy.” This was on a Tuesday evening. Indeed, you do wonder what it’s like on the weekend. As if that wasn't enough, about 2.5 hours after dinner, I got home and developed severe stomach problems. Half an hour later, I developed severe diarrhea and had to vomit. I subsequently went to the toilet multiple times throughout the night and vomited several times as well. I went to the GP about this this morning. He indicated that food poisoning is a possibility. Of course, I cannot say with certainty that this was caused by the food at Bregje’s, but the timing is certainly striking. Bregje Emmen, thank you for this incredibly bad experience. In any case, we will not be coming back here.

Had a nice meal at Bregje Emmen. And although I hadn't expected much given the price, it was still very tasty. I had the Sushi, Meat Platter, and Chocolate Bar, and although not everything was of equal quality, the taste was good. The only downside to today was actually that the main courses were served and the fries weren't ready until 10 minutes later. Nevertheless, we will definitely be back!

Nice restaurant, value for money above expectations! Also very friendly staff!

We ate here for the first time tonight with family. We were welcomed hospitably and kindly. The food was very varied and delicious. All in all, a very positive experience. We will definitely come back when we are in the area.

For someone who is vegetarian, there is little choice, and as for the poke bowl, take the sushi rice for a bit more flavor. And don't put everything separately; put it all together in one bowl to get even more flavor. Otherwise, as for the rest, we had a tasty meal.

Cozy and spacious restaurant. The food was of good quality and the service was good as well. However, as it gets busier, it takes a bit longer to get the waitresses' attention. Otherwise, delicious food and drinks at a reasonable price.

The lovely, cozy atmosphere at Bregje Restaurant and the delicious, reasonably priced three-course meals meant that we ate there several times with a group of eight during our short break in Emmen in May 2026. The service (mainly provided by students) was also very friendly. We're going back to Center Parcs Emmen soon, and I've already reserved a table at Bregje Restaurant again 😀.

Had to wait a long time, quite a bit busy and loud, but the food was really great!

I've already eaten here twice with friends. Great food, excellent service. Large, but cozy restaurant. Highly recommended.

I cannot recommend the hamburgers or saté but everything else was delicious and worth another visit. Prices are reasonable, even in the weekend.

We had a delicious meal and the service was top-notch. And all for a very reasonable price.

Delicious food for a fantastic price

The food is highly recommended, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the prices are reasonable. I would gladly come back anytime.

Delicious food and friendly service!

The food was fine, but the service was severely substandard.

We had dinner at Bregje's tonight with our two teenage children and had a wonderful time. We really like the concept: for a fixed, reasonable price, you can choose from various dishes and get a complete menu. The food was delicious and the portions were fine. There is also plenty of choice for teenagers, which is of course a nice bonus. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy and relaxed, and the service was friendly. All in all, a very successful evening. Highly recommended for the price-quality ratio. We will definitely be back again!

Received good service and had a tasty meal for not too much money See you soon Visited again in Summer 2026 they have renovated the restaurant so beautifully, had an excellent meal again

Had a delicious meal and prompt and friendly service

Culinary delight. 3 courses for a fixed price. Excellent quality. Highly recommended!

We have eaten here twice in a short time, and in both cases had to wait a very long time. It seemed like they couldn't handle the crowds. We thought we would try this restaurant again, but unfortunately, it was the same experience: the soup was lukewarm. We pointed this out and, after a long wait, received a new soup which was lukewarm again. Furthermore, I found it very unhygienic that there were a lot of mosquitoes. I don't know if we will come back here, as the rest of the food was very tasty. I hope these points are improved.

Good value for money. We enjoyed our meal in a very nice atmosphere. Friendly staff, but probably due to the busyness, we were only asked once if everything was to our liking and if we wanted extra drinks. We will definitely come back again.

I have been to Bregje Emmen several times now, and the experience varies greatly. Unfortunately, this time was one of the lesser ones. We were there from 18:15 until about 21:00, and everything took a very long time. Ordering, serving, and even reordering drinks was slow, meaning you spend most of your time waiting. The portions were small and the dishes were not particularly flavorful, although the dessert was the best part. The atmosphere was also made unpleasant by cold ventilation and sticky tables. The staff was friendly, but clearly very busy, which did not benefit the service. Conclusion: fine concept and good price, but due to the slow service and inconsistent quality, the experience is too unpredictable.

The food was really great for the price.

After visiting the zoo, we spontaneously decided to go to the restaurant because the website looked good. The fixed price for dinner was reasonable, and the food was really delicious. The service was excellent. German wasn't spoken, but we were able to communicate quite well in English. There were three children's meals available. We were all satisfied. Our suggestion for improvement would be a small playground in the garden or a play area for the kids. There were quite a few children in the restaurant.

A PROMISE IS A PROMISE! Our waitress was a real star. We didn't make it easy for her. At first, we were supposed to arrive half an hour late. But in the end, we were fifteen minutes early. Just when we thought we could eat in peace, we received a notification that we had to be at Speedway Emmen earlier. So we had less than an hour to eat. After we asked if they could serve the dishes closer together, they did their best to make it possible. And with great success. We had a wonderfully delicious meal. The service was simply superb (with one lady in particular, because I promised you this review). And a big compliment to the kitchen and the owner. Thank you, and you will see us again in September this year.

Today, we had a lovely dinner at your restaurant with a party of 13 guests for a wedding. The service was not very quick or cheerful; everything took far too long. We even had to chase after our ordered drinks. We mentioned to a lady that we had a wedding couple among us. Well, that's nice, she said she would arrange something. When settling the bill, I asked her... Did you forget anything??? Well, she had passed it on... oh, excuses, they didn't do anything about it. Well, that's really helpful. A huge missed opportunity to put your guests in the spotlight. And do something about the teamwork among the staff! Because one person puts in their full effort, while another just muddles along. We have been to your restaurant 4 times now, and we had never experienced anything like this before!

Recently, we dined twice at Bregje in Emmen with a group of 12-15 people. We were pleasantly surprised; the food is delicious, there is a wide selection, a 3-course menu at an affordable price, and large portions. The service was friendly, and despite the busyness, the food was served quickly. We will definitely be back.

Cozy dining at fixed prices. Only drinks are extra. We love coming here.

We had an extremely delicious meal. We were sitting in a bit of a draft and the service took a little while.

We had been here before in February and were very satisfied then. That is why our last visit was all the more disappointing. On the positive side, we would like to mention the beautiful terrace and the atmospheric decor of the restaurant. Additionally, an older waiter made a knowledgeable and professional impression on us. Complaints were also accepted without discussion. Unfortunately, the evening started with a few disappointments. The Radler we wanted was not available, and the starter we originally intended to order also turned out to be unavailable. Furthermore, our table had not been cleaned upon arrival, and this was not done during our entire visit. The replacement starter was also disappointing. One of the prawns was undercooked, and the bread under the salmon did not seem fresh. Moreover, we were not given cutlery or napkins, forcing us to eat the starter as finger food. Later, we ordered cola with plenty of ice, but it was served without a glass. The main courses also failed to convince us. The pulled-chicken tacos were lukewarm and tough in texture. The tomatoes served did not look fresh. The fries were very greasy and anything but crispy. Unfortunately, things didn't get much better with the desserts. The desserts were placed on the table rather carelessly, and there were still remnants on one of the spoons, meaning we had to ask for a napkin to clean it. The first Dame Blanche looked unappetizing, but was replaced without any issues after our comment. The passion fruit ice cream tasted good but contained a large ice crystal. The mini apple tart was fine in terms of taste, but baked so hard that it was almost impossible to cut through. Another dessert contained an extremely sweet, hard-to-place white cream. The choux pastry looked like a frozen product, was soggy, and failed to impress us either. All in all, we got the impression that many things went wrong at once this evening. Unfortunately, the beautiful location and a few positive points could not compensate for the many shortcomings regarding service, organization, and food quality. Because we have had a much better experience here before, we hope that this was just a one-off misstep.

Deliciously varied menu. Had a good meal, good atmosphere.

Let's start by saying that it is a very beautiful restaurant. Nice and spacious with a lovely atmosphere. All main courses are served with fries; my partner doesn't like fries and asked if she could have some bread instead. The owner indicated that this was not possible, which is a very strange choice. I have never heard anywhere that this isn't possible. It has never been a problem at other Bregje locations either. The main course (salmon) was served with boiled potatoes; then just ask if she wants some extra of that instead of fries. We were very surprised, and not in a positive way. I find this anything but customer-friendly. Furthermore, dogs are allowed in the restaurant; I have never experienced anywhere else that dogs are allowed. I understand that franchise chains make their own choices, but I think this really defies all logic.

What a super nice place with delicious food and friendly service! We will definitely eat here more often, really enjoyed it 🥰!

We had a nice meal. We sat outside. At first, we did have to ask regularly. Later, possibly due to the busyness, we missed some service.

You can eat deliciously here for a reasonable price, although the selection is limited; unfortunately, I didn't see a tasty steak on the menu. It is a fun concept, though, because you have to order everything (starter, main course, and dessert) right at the start. The interior looks cozy too. I will definitely come back again.

On the evening of Whit Monday, I had a lovely dinner with my parents on the terrace at Bregje's. It was nice and relaxing sitting out there on the terrace. I enjoyed the new dishes. Delicious.

We ate here with 10 people, the food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and everything looked clean and tidy...worth repeating.

We had a delicious meal and the service was very friendly.

Had Mother's Day brunch. Tasty, nice selection of main courses, more than enough; nice that unlimited soft drinks and hot drinks were included in the price.

We came here to celebrate a wedding anniversary, and it was a beautiful experience. The place has lovely lighting, clean bathrooms, and the food was super tasty. The service was excellent, the waitresses were always smiling, gave great vibes, and really knew what they were selling. This is something you don’t see very often in restaurants in Emmen, and I wish more places had service like this. For a good price, you get a three-course meal. There’s a cheaper price from Monday to Thursday, and it’s a bit more expensive on the weekend, which is fair. I do think it would be nice to see more vegan options 🌱. Just a small detail: unfortunately, I think two of our drinks were forgotten at the end, as we had to wait quite a long time for them 🙏🏼🤍🫧. Thank you for a great experience, definitely recommended!

When I walked in, it seemed good. But the food was disappointing, because I had mentioned that I follow a salt-free diet. Not much was done about that; I had the hamburger, which was too salty for me. Because of the bacon and cheese. The bun was also very dry. Sorry to say this, but no more Brechje for me. It was also very noisy with some of the guests, and nothing was said about it.

Had a lovely dinner for two here last night. After a quick phone call, we were able to come in at 7:15 PM. During the meal, we didn't feel rushed at all, which is nice! For 20 euros... 3 courses... That's a steal. Delicious cocktails and beers on the menu. We really had a lovely evening, ate wonderfully, and enjoyed the hospitality!

We had to wait a very long time for the service, both to take the order and to clear the plates after the starter, as well as to clear them after the main course. My son's plate kept staying on the table (he received his main course while we were getting our starters) even though the wait staff had walked past and stood by the table multiple times... I had to ask them myself if they could take it away... then 5 out of 6 people received their dessert... the wait staff walked past again with desserts for another table, announcing that the 6th dessert was on its way... no, you serve one table completely first and only then do you go to another table... we were sitting down to dessert while the dishes from the main course were still partly on the table. 5 tables around us were certainly not cleared for at least half an hour after people got up. The plates and glasses sat on the table for at least 30 minutes while the staff walked to the kitchen empty-handed. So, as far as we are concerned, the staff could use some better training.. The food was otherwise fine... except for the tiered stand with various appetizers: they should have been told clearly what was on it... instead, we had to figure it out ourselves.

Last night I dined at Bregje in Emmen for the first time. The concept is simple: a fixed (relatively low) price for a three-course menu. However, the portions are a bit on the small side and the quality is average – although perhaps you can't expect much more for this price. The wait times between courses were quite long. Additionally, the drinks are on the pricey side: €6.25 for a 33 cl beer. The staff is young and seems to have little experience in the hospitality industry. A different person comes to the table for every task, making it impossible, for example, to order a drink immediately when the table is being cleared, meaning you have to wait again. The first drinks ordered were the wrong ones and had to be exchanged. Unfortunately, these unconsumed drinks were still on the bill, as I discovered upon arriving home. For me, this will remain a one-time visit.

Sticky table, dirty floor, cobwebs everywhere. We sat at table 93. The food was very greasy, dripping off it. If you don't have much money to eat out, this might be okay, but hygiene leaves a mile away. Once, never again.

We didn't have much time. It was handled very well, we received excellent service, and the food was delicious.

Last week, my girlfriend and I dined here. The surroundings are beautiful and the restaurant's interior is very neat; the restrooms were clean. It was very busy, but fortunately, we had made a reservation. Despite the crowds, they still took the time to ask if we wanted anything to drink and if everything was to our liking. The food we ordered also arrived very quickly, and the dishes looked very well presented. The staff was very friendly, and for us, it was a lovely evening out.

Had a delicious meal and super service! I have an onion allergy and the gentleman came with the menu to check together what I could eat, and even slightly adjusted the starter so I could eat it! A big bravo 👍🏼

We enjoyed it so much again. Special requests were also taken into account. And all with a friendly face. Okay, everything was said: "No problem at all." Truly amazing.

The food was very tasty and certainly not expensive.

Had a lovely meal for my husband's birthday. Together with the sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law.

Today, the four of us ate at Bregje in Emmen for the first time. It was absolutely amazing: a beautiful place, very friendly staff, delicious food. All in all, a great success. We will definitely be back for a nice evening out.

A cozy restaurant where you can eat for "normal" prices. With a nice selection of various dishes!

Lovely spot to eat. 3 courses for €22.95. Good food, friendly service, in short, highly recommended.

Fantastic! Parking is a bit of a nightmare, but the food more than makes up for it. The food is just not always warm enough.

Good food at a very reasonable price, good service

What a cozy atmosphere and layout. The food was delicious! The menu is extensive enough! And a nice 3-course concept/price. Portions are fine, large enough! A big thumbs up to the service: neat, fast, clear, and friendly!

The best Bregje! A truly beautiful location and incredibly friendly staff. The food is simply excellent for the price.

Had a lovely evening at this tasting room. The atmosphere and food were good.

Nice evening with good food at a reasonable price!

Located in a beautiful building in Emmen. Friendly welcome and service. The atmosphere is very pleasant. The food isn't bad, but the satay was a bit greasy and the burger was on the dry side. The appetizers (carpaccio and mushrooms) were fine. The bill was low, not typical for the Netherlands. All in all, very satisfied.

Food was good for the price. However, we (and the other customers) had to wait very long for each dish to be served despite more than half of the restaurant being unoccupied.

What a delicious meal again, the second time was also delicious and enjoyable!

Delicious, cozy and not too expensive

Friendly staff, great for a laugh. The food was good too. The gyoza were a bit hard, but still tasty!

First time eating here. The menu listed Tomato soup, salmon with warm vegetables and fries, and chocolate dessert. All three dishes were well made. Everything was fine and the service was prompt. Personally, I would like to add the option for warm vegetables as a side (currently you can choose extra lettuce as an additional side).

A three-course meal for a small price (€19.50) in a cozy atmosphere. The hamburger was disappointing, though. It was a real factory-made hamburger. In hindsight, I should have ordered the spare ribs instead!

Beautiful, spacious location, with delicious food at a good price and friendly, fast service. Parking can be a bit tight when it's busy.

Delicious food and a nice, cozy atmosphere.

Great food, plenty of choices. Maybe add a play area for kids... otherwise, it's great! 👌

Great! Atmospheric restaurant and attentive service.

Good and sufficient food for a good price.

Very atmospheric restaurant, only we missed the outside lighting, very dark to walk to the back, flashlight on phone really had to be turned on, a bit of a shame.

We had a delicious meal again, really great.

Delicious food, nice concept 3 course menu, good price-quality ratio, good and friendly service, we will definitely come back again

We had a great meal! When we jokingly mentioned that a beer mat was missing, we got this, hilarious hahaha. Great staff and delicious food!

We ate at Brechtje in Emmen on Saturday evening. They're located in a charming old building on the edge of Emmen's city center. The exterior certainly has a charming atmosphere. Once inside, you quickly get the feeling of a large dining room. But that's not the concept. Once at our table, it took quite a while before we could order a drink, and in the meantime, we spent a good amount of time looking around because we were practically glued to the table. We also noticed that there were a lot of dust webs everywhere. Unfortunately, the cutlery wasn't clean either. A good cleaning service is essential in this restaurant. Once our drinks were ordered, they were brought quickly. However, it was too much for the staff to walk around the table, and they asked us to take care of it. This is probably their policy, as everyone on the staff followed the same approach, including serving the food. The food—the starter, main course, and dessert—was excellent. (Price-quality) It's been a few years since we've been here, and it'll probably be a few more years now.

Friendly and very good food. I always choose dishes that require an extra charge, but it's more than worth it!

The food was okay. The taste wasn't to my liking. The parking is terrible! Damage to your car is almost unavoidable. This is a reason for me not to come back.

Nice restaurant, good service, delicious food. Very large and crowded, though.

Cheap and tasty, good service recommended!!

We had a lovely meal here tonight, with plenty of choices on the menu, but the service was mediocre. We had to wait a really long time for our food and drinks (the second glass of wine didn't arrive until dessert, as we ordered it at the beginning of the main course). We're not sure we'll be back.

The food was great, not everything was equally delicious, but I guess that's a matter of personal taste. Service sometimes took a bit longer. The atmosphere was nice. My wife's comment was that the restrooms were really filthy.

Really delicious for surprisingly reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Voor het eerst alleen met 2 van onze kleinkinderen uit eten geweest. Erg gezellig. En lekker gegeten.

What a lovely location and excellent food at a great price. A delicious three-course dinner for €19.95 (additional items are an additional charge). The food was delicious and the service was excellent and friendly. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, welcoming, and the seating is comfortable. Parking is free on-site and easily accessible by car.

Good restaurant, 3-course menu €19.95 Apparently, many places have delicious food everywhere.

The doormen were a bit short. But the food was delicious, the restaurant is beautiful. The welcome drinks service could have been a bit faster.

A nice restaurant, at Bregje Concept we find it very appealing if you want a good meal at a very reasonable price. This makes dining out fun with a family or for young people too.

Very tasty food at a reasonable price and super friendly service
