Restaurant Bombarino in Wijk 00: Valkenburg

Really nice staff and nice restaurant food really good overall a nice experience

Beautiful spot in the center of Valkenburg with food that is decent, but nothing to write home about. We were able to find a table immediately at lunch time during the week outside. They keep the patio very warm for cold days so that we were all able to take our coats and hats off and enjoy being near the main walking street. Staff were friendly and all spoke English well, and a few we even heard speaking Dutch, French, and German as well. Food was fine. A little overpriced for what you get in our opinion. My wife got the lobster roll which was very small and looked like a basic hot dog bun with a sparse amount of lobster in it. Mostly just tasted like mayonnaise. I got the club sandwich which was definitely the better option. Overall, very much enjoyed this plate. However, for €15 or so for an open face sandwich, I would have expected for it to also come with fries at least. Overall, we enjoyed the atmosphere more than the food, but we weren't too upset about the food either.

I went for lunch on Monday, and what a disappointment! I had the deluxe steak sandwich for €21. I'm happy to pay that price for a good sandwich, but this was a real disappointment. The meat was so tough, I left half of it. There were even two pieces of gray meat that were impossible to cut. I returned my plate full of tough chunks, soggy bread, and inedible bits, and the waiter didn't even ask about it. He even left the plates there. Very rude.

I ordered an "uitsmijter" with bacon. You get an "uitsmijter" with bacon, ham, and cheese. Since I don't like cheese, this isn't the intention, but apparently it's standard there, which I didn't understand about a classic "uitsmijter." When I told them I didn't like cheese, they made a new one, but I had to pay for the other one as well. Very hospitable and customer-friendly. I only ordered bacon, and in my opinion, they're not doing it right, but I still had to pay an extra 16 euros. This was our regular place in Valkenburg, but I'll never go back. RIDICULOUS!! .

A very unfriendly hostess, not at all customer-friendly. I've never experienced anything like this before. We said we wouldn't eat there either, and the people behind us in line said, "We won't eat here either!"

Cozy and atmospheric restaurant. Good and efficient service, and, importantly, very delicious food. Highly recommended!

Delicious coffee and soup, nice atmosphere and friendly staff

Brief review from two Germans: Great location Excellent service Top quality food Superb lobster bisque Superb goulash soup Superb mussels Superb mulled wine Everything was simply TOP-NOTCH

We had a wonderful meal, and they really took my pregnancy into account. For the first time in a while, I had a delicious piece of (well-cooked) tender salmon! We also received a very warm welcome.

Delicious food, wonderful Christmas atmosphere, and very friendly service. The price-quality ratio is excellent. Definitely recommended!

Nice restaurant with delicious food. The host was very friendly and the service was good and fast! The price-quality ratio is also excellent.

A very pushy waitress, clearly only the income matters. Out of the blue, 10 minutes after our drinks were delivered, she asked if we'd like a piece of cake... we would have ordered it ourselves with our drinks! A while later, we hadn't even finished our drinks, and then she asked if we'd like another drink... We were met with a smug look if we didn't agree... so we just got the bill, and never again!

We enjoyed a delicious lunch here!

We chose the autumn menu, and it was perfectly prepared. We opted for the wine pairing and enjoyed some delicious wines. The chef delighted us with all the delicious dishes and even brought the main course to our table himself. We will definitely be back!

A cozy, atmospheric lunchroom in the heart of Valkenburg's charming town center. We had a great meal here. The selection of croquettes on bread, toasted sandwiches, or fried eggs is excellent. Despite the 8 degrees Celsius, I sat on the terrace without a coat thanks to the comfortable patio heater.

Had delicious mussels in beer batter, it was just good

Good service, friendly and goex food!

Great restaurant. No nonsense. Friendly service. Gravad Lax is a good, tasty starter.

They had mussels on the menu, and they were delicious. They also had lobster and oysters, but the prices were so high that I didn't order them. The staff has a Hanos logo on their shirts. How dare a Hanos restaurant charge €4.50 for one oyster and €30 for half a lobster? I could go on and on about a somewhat arrogant waiter, but I won't do that until I have to pay €30 for one lobster. Back to the mussels, they were delicious, especially paired with a Westmalle.

I really enjoyed the food! I've eaten a lot of satay, but this is truly one of the best. Friendly staff, even at the end of the day. Highly recommended!

Awesome food! I was there yesterday. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. ❤️

Great location with a beautifully decorated interior and a cozy terrace. Because there are so many people walking by, there's always plenty to see from your table outside. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive. My only downside was the menu prices, which were a bit higher than I expected. All in all, a pleasant experience and definitely a place to return to.

Delicious food, but quite pricey compared to two years ago. Lobster soup with half a lobster was €41, and €4.50 per oyster, which were very small and tasteless, but we got two extra. EXPENSIVE (€140 for lunch), but everything was delicious!

Delicious food for a reasonable price. No rush, despite peak season.

Great location the steak tasted good

Friendly staff, very nice to sit in.

Nice atmosphere, excellent service, good place for lunch and you can definitely have a drink here in the evening.

It's our son's birthday today. He ordered an omelette on the patio. It accidentally fell on the floor while cutting it. I politely asked him to clean it up myself. There was very little food left on his plate. So I asked for a new plate because it hadn't been asked. Unfortunately, when we paid, we also had to pay for the dropped menu. Since I also own a business, I asked: could we solve this together? The waitress couldn't be blamed. It's probably the rules, but didn't anyone realize this would dampen the birthday spirits of a 12-year-old and his parents? Corporate blunders always happen, but it's the tone of the music that determines how something is communicated and how the staff is taught to handle it. It won't happen every day.

Echt een aanrader👌🏻Alles was top! Broodplank, oesters en de mosselen waren TOP! Bediening was super! En niet te vergeten heerlijke wijn!

There was only one waiter at the beginning and then no more after that. The food wasn't tasty either.

I haven't had such good seafood in a long time. The oysters with ponzu lime were surprisingly good! The mussels were delicious, but the portion was a bit small. Then we had the lobster as a last course. It was perfect! The sauce that was served with it matched the lobster perfectly. I would definitely come back here again.

They made me pay 10€ for bread Frozen products.. Very expensive. Poor value for money.

Excellent, good food and drinks.

Friendly service Food VERY tasty and plentiful Clean... Beautiful terrace both in good weather and in the rain (huge awning and heater). I loved it there and can only recommend it.

A cozy and stylish spot in the heart of Valkenburg. We visited Bombarino in the evening — the interior is warm and beautifully decorated, and the heated terrace is a nice touch. The food was presented creatively. We especially enjoyed the seafood paella and the “Meat Heaven” platter. Most dishes were flavorful, though one meat dish arrived slightly cold, which was a bit disappointing given the price. The staff were generally friendly, though during quieter moments they seemed a bit inattentive — we had to wait to be offered drinks or dessert. Overall, a great place for a relaxed dinner with a nice ambiance. If you enjoy creative dishes and generous portions, Bombarino is worth a visit. Best to book a table in advance. 📍 Tip: Go for their signature dishes and ask about prep time — there can be some delays.

Het eten is echt heerlijk alleen duurde het wel erg lang voordat we onze lunch kregen en dat was zonde. Het personeel is erg vriendelijk en je zit er leuk.

Enjoy a beer on the terrace. Friendly service, beautiful terrace.

Als je door de poort de gezellige Muntstraat in loopt, loop je direct tegen dit gezellige restaurant aan. Dus uiteraard even gaan zitten en een drankje gedaan. De kaart maakt hongerig! Het kost even wat tijd om te kiezen, er staat zoveel lekkers op, maar gekozen voor de Zeewolf. Nou, kan maar 1 ding zeggen, verrukkelijk!!! Zelden zo lekker Zeewolf gegeten. De bediening is super, vriendelijk, gezellig in voor een praatje en je komt niks tekort. Dus mocht je in de buurt zijn, maak van de gelegenheid gebruik om dit gezellige restaurant te bezoeken. Echt een aanrader!

Beautiful location and pleasant atmosphere. We had chosen the asparagus menu with smoked salmon (three courses). We agreed that we would always indicate when we were ready for the next course. This made it very relaxed and easy to eat. The food was delicious and beautifully presented and the staff very friendly and service-oriented. We will definitely come back here in the future!

What a great experience! We had made a reservation for 2 people, and upon arrival we were politely and very friendly asked where we wanted to sit, inside or outside. Once we had read the menu, we were advised to order the MeatHeaven from the menu. That was the best choice for us, thanks to Antonio's advice. The food was great, the service was great, and the location was super! A real recommendation for everyone! Jean & Saskia (VAT39)

Very nice restaurant with fine cousin. We had a wonderful evening with lots of friend. I highly recommend this place.

What an experience. I entered the patio and was greeted with… no one at all. I stood there like a lost tourist on a ghost ship. After ten minutes I decided to report myself to the plant at the entrance – at least it still had some life in it. After an eternity, someone walked up who looked like he had just woken up from a night shift in hell. “You have reservations?” he asked, looking at his phone instead of us. We had indeed made a reservation - regret of my life. The food? Let me take you on a culinary horror trip The soup was lukewarm. Not hot. Not cold. Just…despondent. • The paste was cooked enough that I could use it as a cement filler. • And the chicken? I'm pretty sure that beast was still alive when I ordered it, but by now it had been reborn as leather. • The dessert (if you can call it that) tasted like it had survived three world wars. If I could give a zero, yes

Just had a drink with a pie. Delicious.

Very unfriendly staff and very bad cappuccino, a lot of milk, little coffee taste. Being able to sit in the sun.

Ate with a large group. Went fantastic!

Please, try something other than meat and chips! We've both just had gravalax to start followed by the very Dutch, paella . Both courses were excellent. Beautifully prepared and served. A first class experience, & NO CHIPS! Please, give it a try.

vriendelijke bediening - wilden msch nét iets te snel bedienen - wij tafelen graag lang - lekker gegeten lekkere wijn - alles prima dacht dat het Italiaans restaurant was maar niet dus ... maar is ok

Good service, friendly, fast. The food was decent, limited soup selection, on the pricey side.

Delicious meal on the terrace. The interior is also very tastefully decorated. Those oysters, people! Delicious! Nice service. This is highly recommended!

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff were friendly. Prices are generally on the high side, in my opinion.

Super place. We've been there at least 5 times and each time the food and service was excellent. Highly recommend to order mussels here

Gisteren lekker gelunched, gezellig restaurant met buiten terrasverwarmers. Wij zaten binnen en hebben prima gegeten. Bediening ook erg vriendelijk en attent. Ruime porties van goede kwaliteit.

Had lunch here on Christmas Day. They very politely indicated that they would only be open until 2pm, so it was up to us whether we thought that was enough time. Yes, then we had enough time for lunch. All dishes were tasty and flavoursome. Certainly enough food. We could use this too, since we still had to climb the Cauberg to our cottage in the park

Delicious food, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Definitely recommended

Vanavond ons kerstdiner gehad bij Bombarino in Valkenburg. Het was uitstekend, heerlijk gegeten, vriendelijk personeel en goede bediening.

The staff are really nice 👌 the food is delicious, soup was amazing, I recommend this place.

Potential. Pleasant staff and fast service. Sauces are very tasty and professional. Unfortunately tasteless frozen defective unreliable meat (check årets matbluff äkta vara and draap nv) Choose something quality local (grain and corn fed is the worst because of gmo and grassiness) Deer farms enough in Benelux. Polder cow such as west Flemish red also a topper. Worst were actually smokers who disrespectfully held their sigg at nose level next to a table with children. Disrupted entire meal Maybe offer sniff to nicotine narcos?

My mussels were good, average size, and came with a bowl of fries. The mushroom steak was excellent, except for the vegetables as a side dish (decoration). So he ordered more fries and a small salad; well, everything was extra, but a hefty one. Otherwise, the staff were friendly and the setting was beautiful.

Heerlijk gegeten, super vriendelijke bediening! Lekker lang natafelen zonder "weggekeken" te worden! Zeker een aanrader. Klein minpuntje, toilet is boven, voor mensen die moeilijk ter been zijn misschien lastig. Het restaurant is gezellig en mooi ingericht.

very cozy and had a delicious lunch, highly recommended

Last Tuesday we had dinner at Bombarino in Valkenburg. Really delicious food. Food is great, service is friendly and alert. Everything is perfect. If you are in Valkenburg, go to Bombarino, really do it, top place. We had the bread basket as a starter (which was great), the salmon as a main course (excellent) and the deer back (which was heavenly, really great). Dessert: Frisian sugar bread, so delicious and for us Northerners a surprising discovery in Valkenburg. Delicious!

We were allowed to sit with a large group outside on the terrace for the parade. The food was incredibly delicious and the service super friendly! We were also allowed to sit with the child below us at the front where there was still room to watch! We really appreciate this. On behalf of the entire family, thank you very much :)))

Had dinner here tonight. What a nice restaurant. Delicious dishes, hospitable atmosphere and great staff. Highly recommended!

Nous avons déjeuné dans ce restaurant et nous avons vraiment aimé d ailleurs nous y sommes retourné le soir. Par contre il ne faut pas avoir un appétit de moineaux car les portions sont généreuse. Le personnel est très sympa et souriant. Je recommande vivement

We had lunch today and frankly we enjoyed ourselves I do not understand certain comments which do not highlight this restaurant I recommend it.

The ambiance was cozy and warm. Very nicely decorated for the holidays. All the candles and lighting were beautiful. The waitstaff were nice, helpful, and very tentative. The food was delicious and generous portions. We had a lovely time.

Top establishment. Beautiful and cozy location. Top food. Try the homemade tuna with brown bread and a beautiful glass of Chardonnay in the afternoon. A person doesn't need more.

Ordered a cheese platter..5 super small thin pieces of cheese, some nuts, 6 grapes and 3 super small thin slices of nut bread and syrup..16.50 euros..certainly not worth the money.. Friendly service...nice place

Hele leuke sfeer en heel vriendelijk personeel. Eten duurde helaas wel erg lang en was uiteindelijk wel een kleine irritatie omdat wij met kleine kinderen waren. Het eten zelf was wel echt heel erg lekker!

A lot of money for a steak that you could resole your shoes with. Reported to the waitress. According to the chef, it was because the steak was medium/rare.....if that means you can't even get your knife through it, why are you selling it?? This is very unfortunate. Don't order meat here.

We've been here twice, my daughter and I, and that's remarkable in my case. Valkenburg has more than enough to offer. Anyway, a review: the menu was very comprehensive with some lovely surprises here and there. For dessert, I had sugar bread... which was, in a word, fantastic, pure balance in what would normally be a sugar bomb. That alone would be a reason to go there. But that doesn't do justice to the lobster and the pea soup. I could heap all the superlatives on everything on the menu, but let me just keep it simple: this is a chef with taste and a passion for his craft. A 10 plus for that. And then there are the people who truly made us feel like guests, Kenny (they won't kill him), thanks for the kettle of ice and your hospitality! Femke, greetings from my daughter and, of course, from myself. And how special and remarkable it was how you connected with us. To everyone reading this, go eat here; the customer is (fortunately) not king there, but simply a guest, the old-fashioned way. And that's great. I recommend this shop in Valkenburg. Best, Remco

Dejligt sted på hjørnet og i solen til en formiddags gullaschsuppe og en kold og 8,5 % forfriskende Duvel øl inden jeg skulle til ølsmagning.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch. Service was quick and friendly. Pleasant terrace.

A beautiful menu with delicious food. We had a great time here, and even though we arrived relatively late, the service remained friendly and helpful. Thank you for the wonderful dinner.

2x kaasplankje besteld. Smaak is goed, maar het zijn 4 kleine stukjes kaas + stukje brood en een paar druiven. € 16,50 per portie. Is belachelijk duur voor wat je krijgt. Daarom advies....bestel geen kaasplankje.

Cozy restaurant on a busy corner. Service on the terrace just friendly enough. The cheese board of the bites is not recommended: for 16.50 a few tiny pieces of cheese and a few grapes. Bad!

Vandaag heerlijk gegeten. Vooraf de cocktail van kreeft en Hollandse garnalen. Daarna de meat heaven en als toe de structuur van Framboos. Alles was van superkwaliteit en zeer lekker.

Super delicious food and a great atmosphere. 5 stars for everything 👍🏻

My son wanted to try a paella and then we stopped here. I got mussels with beer and they were good, the paella was (according to my sons) very good. Very nice staff, quick service.

Bombarino Hamburger was very tasty. Bouncer was richly topped! Presentation of the food that we could see from the shopping street attracted us to sit down.

Too bad they hardly have any vegetarian options.

Spontaneously ate here on Sunday evening, friendly helpful staff and delicious food, highly recommended!

Heerlijke lunch. Geen overdreven grote kaart (althans voor de lunch) maar wel lekker. Bediening is vlotjes en vriendelijk. Leuke inrichting en een prachtig terras.

Nice place to have lunch when you are in Valkenburg. Cappuccino is not that tasty unfortunately. Nice choice of lunch dishes. Service is very clear, but friendly (I appreciate that!) to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the terrace when the many tourists try to do their own thing. The chicken salad was very tasty and very large, excellent price/quality ratio. Operation is smooth. Nice place to people watch 😀

Delicious dinner tonight. Friendly fast service. The mussels were superb.

Keuze is reuze in Valkenburg, maar zoals dit pareltje zijn er weinig. Heerlijke vlees- en visgerechten met aandacht bereid en kleurrijk opgemaakt. Dat alles wordt verzorgd door vriendelijk personeel. Absolute aanrader als je in de buurt bent.

Had a delicious meal at this restaurant. Nice terrace. Friendly service, ordered salmon fillet and pork tenderloin satay

We hebben echt heerlijk gegeten. De bediening was goed en de sfeer top. Tenminste eens een andere kaart als wat je doorgaans ziet. Dit is echt een aanrader!!

Had dinner here last Tuesday on the terrace (at 32 degrees) Waiting staff are very friendly and helpful. I wouldn't recommend the bread board; Herb butter is fine, but sauces on bread?? Shouldn't this be a tasty tapenade? And then there was only brown bread, which should be half white and half brown, or ask the customer first what their preference is? We opted for the "meat heaven", this dish is for 2 people with side dishes of fries, sauces and a salad. The meat was tasty and tender and consisted of a piece of chicken, marinated bacon, a beef rib and a steak. The salad was well filled and enough for 2 people. For dessert we opted for a piece of rice pie with whipped cream. The restaurant is located at a walking intersection, so it's great to people watch while eating. The tables are under a large permanent awning, so they are not affected by the sun. We suffered from a dry mouth afterwards and are not sure whether this was due to too much salt or the sauces we tried (including aioli).

Ask for mojito, get it with ginger syrup in it. Ask for crodino, get it without ginger syrup and without mint. Not as the map indicates. Very bad!

Had a drink here in the afternoon. Excellent appetizer. However, the service was a bit slow. We had to ask for our drinks ourselves every time. You also have to like the atmosphere, a little more luxurious. Other tents look cozier.

Bediening was goed. Oesters vooraf gingen. Hoofdgerecht was de catch of the day. Vis goed bereid. Groente is te ver door gekookt. Als nagerecht gegratineerde oesters. Kregen echter gegratineerde mosselen. Bediening vond het ook vreemd. Terug gegeven. Kok zei dat gebeurd als je gegratineerde oesters vraagt. Tja wie heeft er gelijk. Zien ons nooit meet Terug.

Deliciously tender meat and fresh fries. Comfortable chairs and nice coffee

I got pasta aglio olio and it was very sticky and did not taste good. I also think the prices are quite expensive for the quality food you get. I also think that paying 4.10 for a normal coke or ice tea is abnormal. Furthermore, I must say that the service was okay. The place is also beautiful.

Zeer matige kwaliteit eten voor veel geld, Personeel wel vriendelijk en het is een mooie zaak. Ook de wijn matig van kwaliteit voor te veel geld.

Price/quality is sad. The quality of the food is substandard for way too much money. The service is nice and the place looks nice, but we will never go again.

Located on a busy shopping street, but very fast service. Nice meal. Relative to other restaurants that were also on this street, this one was the busiest.

Great location in the middle of town We had lunch there and without exception it tasted good. A clear menu with sandwiches, soups, salads, burgers, etc. There is something for everyone.

Recommended for lunch or a nice drink. Dinner is fine. Service is great! Friendly and fast. Keep track of all tables.

Nice tasty food and friendly staff but don't buy asparagus here, it is tasty but it is a scam! Because they say 42 euros per person but you have to pay extra for ham and 25 euros extra for lobster! Without saying it and when you pay it will cost you about 60 euros
