Restaurant De Beren Bleiswijk in Wijk 33 Bleiswijk Buiten

We were there on a Saturday for lunch and sat upstairs by the play area. It was wonderfully quiet up there. The children could play and we enjoyed ourselves. The staff was friendly and also came by regularly to check if everything was to our liking. We weren't forgotten just because we were sitting upstairs. We will definitely come back again.

Nice atmosphere and a nice card that was waiting on the table for our son who had passed.

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a delicious High Tea here. We liked it so much, in fact, that we booked dinner right away.

Had a delicious meal with my wife and children. We let the kids play happily in the play area while we enjoyed our meal. The unlimited spare ribs on Monday for 22.50 euros is definitely recommended.

The food was good but not very warm.

There was a group that was very noisy, which made it almost impossible to hold a conversation. And we were served fries that were overcooked (as if they had been thrown back into the oil to warm up again). We mentioned this to the waiter, and he agreed. He arranged a new portion of fries for us.

Perfect to go here with children!

Thank you for the warm and hospitable welcome. We had a delicious meal and it was very enjoyable.

It was delicious, only the tomato soup could have been a bit warmer for me. Otherwise, I had a really tasty meal 👌

Had a nice meal, friendly service. Fun playground equipment for children.

VERY POLITE staff. The food is really delicious too. AND!! A play paradise for the little ones. Wonderful! 10 out of 5 stars!!

We enjoyed the most extensive high tea at Beren Bleiswijk, we will definitely come here more often to enjoy it.

Yes, because I still had to get the coffee myself.

We had a high tea at De Beren in Bleiswijk; it was delicious and cozy, and the staff were great.

The food was super tasty, the lady who served us was very friendly, but it's a shame that everything isn't served at the same time. We got our food, but the salad and fries came later. My friend had to ask for them himself, so that is very disappointing.

Friendly service, delicious food!

It was super tasty and fun again

An atmospheric restaurant with delicious food and prompt, friendly service. Worth a repeat visit!

Prices are low (had the 3-course set menu for €30), food is fine. Therefore, the price-quality ratio is excellent. I found the fries tasteless and the satay sauce was very greasy. Gyozza was fine and the dame blanche very tasty with hot chocolate sauce.

Great food for a good price. Children can play in the indoor playground/play equipment.

We had a delicious meal; no starter or dessert was needed here, just the two of us was more than enough. Well prepared.

At 5:30, at 5:50, we were asked what we wanted to drink. At 6:15, a drink was brought. At 6:30, we asked what we wanted to eat. The food arrived at 7:50. Twice the regular fries, which should have been one pair of fries and one pair of French fries. And at 7:45, they came to ask for dessert. While other people arrived later than us, they were already completely finished. It was scandalous to eat from 5:30 to 8:30.

Nice and cozy restaurant to eat with the family.

Things aren't going entirely smoothly here. €6.50 for 4 slices of Parma ham is ridiculous. I also expect a bit more from a meal salad than this.

You can eat delicious food here.

Nice restaurant, good food, friendly service

Perfect location, good atmosphere and friendly service, definitely worth repeating.

We were welcomed here by a friendly team of ladies and gentlemen. The food was delicious.

Particularly tasty. Highly recommended: the Gyoza as a starter and the Espresso Martini as dessert. But the main courses are also well prepared.

We had to wait well over an hour for our food, it turned out because another group was given priority. Additionally, there was a lot of broken equipment, such as broken chairs and dirty air conditioning.

We're used to De Beren in Zoetermeer. This is a nice alternative. Easy to reach from the highway, and it also has a lovely view of the polders. The food is delicious, nice and hot, and pleasantly served. With all the tables in the restaurant occupied, the wait for your food is a bit longer, but certainly not unpleasant. If your food isn't right, they'll take care of it right away. It's nice to have tried a different De Beren.

Tasteless food and terrible service! I've never been told so often, "Someone will be with you shortly," and then no one showed up. The meat was supposed to be medium rare, but it was overcooked. The side dish was wrong and arrived after the meal.

We ate with a Kruidvat voucher. It was delicious and pleasantly busy. We were served politely.

Only screaming and waiting a very long time for my food, but the food was delicious

This was our second time at this restaurant. If you can't eat everything, they'll do their utmost to ensure you enjoy your meal and won't have any problems afterward. Be careful if you get sick from garlic and order salmon, as garlic oil is poured over the salmon. If you're feeling chilly, it's recommended to dress warmly. Other than that, everything was very good and we'll definitely be back.

Not a good experience at all. The service was fine and friendly, but the restaurant has no cozy atmosphere whatsoever. The food, in particular, was terrible; we were truly disappointed, especially for the price. The hamburger was completely unappealing after two bites, the pork tenderloin was too small, dry, burnt, and salty, and the children wouldn't even eat their frikandellen because they weren't tasty.

Bad experience, the food is subpar, as is the service. The moment you have an opinion or comment, they react unprofessionally and do nothing about it. I will never go here again and I don't recommend it to anyone unless you like mediocre food at an inflated price.

Always cozy and reasonable food.

Great option to do after Elysium

Delicious food, definitely affordable. Great atmosphere. Highly recommended, and we'll definitely go again.

Excellent food and friendly service. The assigned table was a bit disappointing; there was plenty of space with empty tables, but the guests were placed quite close together in one area. That was a bit (unnecessarily) uncomfortable. Otherwise, everything was fine!

Excellent food and very pleasant service

Just thought to try De Beren for a quick deserts break. Ordered three different options to try. Our order was delivered quite fast and was amazing. The food quality, the presentation and atmosphere was great. After enjoying Dame Blanche, I saw the chipped-off bowl and was bit disappointed, that chipped-off costed De Beren 1 star. Rest, the staff was quite friendly and quick but the bowl was too bad.

We had an excellent four-course meal in a charming setting. The staff were friendly. The only downside was the bowl of mixed vegetables I ordered separately. The intriguing-looking mini beets were hard and somewhat tasteless. However, the crème brûlée was delicious. And definitely worth repeating.

Nice food at the bears, small parking lot, cool in the conservatory when it's cold, drafty.

At Christmas dinner with many women. The air conditioning was working very hard, and the cool airflow wasn't pleasant.

Great restaurant if you want a delicious meal while your kids play. If you're bringing children, ask to sit upstairs. That way you can keep an eye on them while enjoying a leisurely meal for a reasonable price.

A monstrous burger that commands respect. The steak slices practically melt in your mouth. The most welcoming restaurant we've ever seen. Professional with allergens. Super friendly service.

The service was friendly and quick, even though it was quite busy. The food was delicious. Since we had a reservation, there was no problem finding a seat.

Each of the Beren restaurants offers a different flavor. Some are more delicious than others, and they're prepared with care. It was manageable compared to the Beren at the Markthal.

Nice interior, friendly service, ample parking, the food is just good, in my case fries, peanut sauce, mayo, pulled chicken and onion

A fun place for all ages. A menu for all ages. There's also a fun play area for the little ones.

It was pleasantly busy at 6:30 pm; we had a three-course meal with a Kruidvat voucher, which is two people for one meal. The price was €29.95. Drinks still need to be paid for. The food was truly delicious: starter: rib fingers and tomato soup with meatballs (see photo). Main course: chicken satay and spicy crispy chicken (see photos). Dessert: Apple crumble and a deluxe coffee (with 5 different small cookies). Definitely worth repeating!

Friendly service. Delicious tea. Toasted sandwich a bit burnt. Not very good bread. Messy place. Not a good music selection. Noise level too high.

Cozy restaurant with friendly staff. We had a lovely evening and a delicious meal thanks to the Kruidvat special.

Good atmosphere, friendly service and delicious food!

They make the tastiest spareribs here ever. We've never had them this good anywhere else.

the food was sooooo delicious, well taken care of and good temperature

Delicious food and friendly and polite staff.

Had a delicious meal with 3 busy young children

The food and portions are delicious and generous. We had a three-course meal through Kruidvat. We got the idea as soon as we walked in when I said we were part of the Kruidvat special ("Oh yeah, come on," was the answer). We were seated in a corner where a few other Kruidvat customers were sitting. It felt like we were less important. I found that annoying. Treat people like any other guest, special offer or no special offer. De Beren should choose not to offer special offers. We arrived at 6:10 PM and left immediately after dessert at 8:05 PM. It all took a very long time.

We had a great three-course meal at an affordable price (we used a Kruidvat voucher). There was plenty of choice for everyone in the family. The service was friendly; it could have been a bit faster, but it was manageable, and we weren't in a hurry.

Thursday night dinner, the table didn't smell fresh, the service was very slow, and there was no attention to the customers. The food was disappointing for a bear restaurant. The spare ribs were disappointing (reheated?), the fries were undercooked, and the apple crumble was served very spicy and sweet. Dishes weren't available on the (limited) menu. What's going on with this bear restaurant? Judging by the atmosphere among the staff, something's going on.

We had a delicious meal, and the service was super friendly, attentive, and fast. Excellent!

I won't be going here again. There wasn't a soul in the place around dinner time, and everything takes a while... The food is good, so it's a shame about the chef, but otherwise, the service is extremely slow.

We were there with the whole family, 25 people including older and younger children. We had a delicious meal with excellent value for money. The service was friendly and efficient. They were very flexible with our large group. The children enjoyed the play area. The restaurant has a spacious layout and a pleasant atmosphere.

Great food and fun play paradise

Nice restaurant, but a bit pricey for what you get. My friend ordered a salmon sandwich for lunch for €14.95. To our surprise, it only had one small slice of salmon on it. I ordered a "large" cola, which cost €5.20. Then the waitress brought a 33cl bottle. Apparently, that's considered large these days. A regular hamburger costs €21.25 at De Beren in Bleiswijk these days. Personally, I find this a bit pricey for what you get. The quality of the food has declined in recent years, and the prices have gone up by 50%. I wanted to order a cappuccino, but the waitress never showed up, so we just went home.

We thought we'd celebrate my late father-in-law's birthday again and go to De Beren in Bleiswijk again this year. I have to tell you, this was definitely the last time we ate there. The food was lukewarm and the wait between courses was incredibly long. All I wanted was to eat quickly and get out of here. I can think of a more enjoyable, delicious evening.

Delicious food. Very satisfied.

The four of us had a lovely meal. Great atmosphere, friendly and efficient service, and delicious food!

The food was delicious, we were happily celebrating my birthday together, until mice started running around the place—it was so filthy!!! The staff didn't respond, couldn't even offer an apology. They should have just closed the place until the problem was resolved. You pay a lot of money, and then you're surrounded by mice. Never going back there again, of course, now we understand why it was so quiet.

We had a delicious meal. The staff was friendly and helpful. The service was also quick, which we appreciated.

Never had such a bad experience at De Beren. The pork tenderloin arrived raw (probably frozen and thrown into the pan). The spare ribs were also not tasty and had clearly been pre-cooked and reheated. The food was truly awful.

Great sathès. Love sweet potato chips

The food was definitely not bad (ok: the tomato soup tasted weirdly sweet), but the place itself can us a bit more love and attention. Floors feel sticky and the top of the table smelled like moldy towels. Cutlery was also showing stains and feel a bit greasy.

We were just sitting in a corner where there were quite a few whining children,

My family and I dined together. Before we even got to the table, we felt the floor was sticky. It took ages to order drinks and then the food. A quick trip to the restroom then. The floor is incredibly sticky, and the faucets are dirty. The table is set, and when I pick up the cutlery, it sticks and isn't clean. There's a musty smell of dirty dishcloths. The food was okay. The tomato soup and carpaccio weren't anything special, the shrimp were okay. The burger was okay, but it didn't come with much salad, a small bowl of coleslaw. The satay had three small skewers and also a small bowl of coleslaw. The fries were too greasy and not tasty. The spareribs weren't good. The applesauce, however, was good. The frikadel was fine. Then the waiter brought dessert while the plates were still there. It was for the neighbors... it happens. The apple crumble was okay, vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce was excellent, and the chocolate bomb was great. It's a shame the lava cake was cold. The restaurant looks nice, and the service is friendly. But it's not clean.

We had dinner at Beren Bleiswijk on Friday night. It was delicious as always, and the service was friendly. It was a successful evening.

Had a wonderful meal with a large group, everything was perfectly organised.

Fast food and friendly staff. The rib steak had a delicious charcoal flavor.

Very friendly staff, cozy decor, and delicious food! We usually go to Zoetermeer because we live there, but next time we'll definitely choose Bleiswijk again!

The food and service were perfect. The men's restroom was very dirty, which could use some attention, but otherwise, it was excellent.

delicious food and friendly service

No air conditioning Employee refuses to turn on the air conditioning I have to sit on the inside balcony in the sun Food from previous guests took 28:80 minutes to arrive Had to ask for cutlery twice My burger was half-finished and I had to ask for fries myself I'm sweating from the heat It's best to ignore the Blijswijk bears; they have no control over the place

Cozy, friendly staff, this year the food was really delicious, new chef maybe?

Too loud music and no nice atmosphere

Had a delicious meal at this bear restaurant

We had an excellent meal with satay and schnitzel.

A cozy restaurant, pleasant and efficient service, and a delicious three-course menu for an attractive price.

The food was great and the staff was very friendly.

Had a great meal at De Beren Bleiswijk last night. The 3-course menu was delicious! Carpaccio as a starter is always good, and I am willing to pay extra for it. Pork tenderloin with grilled vegetables and French fries with an extra bowl for free: great. Dame Blanche for dessert was delicious as always. Friendly service and when asked if we could wait for dessert, that was no problem. Had a wonderful Friday evening, and was helped in a friendly manner.

Delicious food, you really get enough! Fast and good service. See when you need something. Cozy atmosphere!

Unfortunately not as tasty as before. Loaded potatoes with pulled chicken and satay sauce. Almost no chicken to be seen on the plate! Only fries with lots of satay sauce and veeeery little meat. I have eaten that dish a few times before and always liked it. Now unfortunately bad experience and will never order again.

I was very skeptical after all the reviews. But the food was delicious, the meat was incredibly tender. The staff was friendly and fast! Worth repeating!

Always good food and friendly service

The coffee was not at temperature, but lukewarm. We did get a new cup of coffee, but still!

Started by a young lady who might be better off working in another industry where you don't come into contact with people because with every interaction it seemed like she didn't want to live anymore. We waited 40 minutes for the food. Other guests who came in later were served earlier, so we asked if it would take much longer to which she replied that the ribs were ready earlier. Although it may be true that other dishes are ready faster, I doubt that a steak takes 40 minutes. 5 minutes later it arrived, the cold and red tournedos! We didn't want to say anything about that because the girl was already tired of life. With both drinks and dessert you hear "we don't have that anymore". Let someone else buy your products or remove it from your cards. Maybe your recruitment department can hire some older staff who take the work more seriously and not someone who takes this as their first side job. Or maybe give some better training on how to deal with guests and handle complaints. That's how you keep getting bad reviews.

Reasonably good food at a reasonable price, only the drinks are way too expensive, a cup of tea 4.50, a glass of wine about 6 euros, we only had a drink

A table already at 5 p.m. Granddaughter, waiting 20 minutes to order our first drink. You have to ask for the card and the wait starts. The spicy crispy chicken was not spicy yet crispy. Schnitzel pepper sauce I sent back, meat was raw. Tournedo weldone requested, it was very red but sent back. Empty glasses were not taken, new ones were not brought either. The coffee round was also very disappointing. I have never seen an Irish coffee made like this. Sent this back too. Staff with tears in their eyes. Let me be clear, there is nothing the staff can do about this. How can you as a company leave these people to their fate?
