Restaurant De Beren Capelle aan den IJssel in Oostgaarde Zuid

Cozy, atmospheric restaurant and friendly staff. We were able to celebrate my mother's 75th birthday here in a lovely spot.

The food was delicious, nice and tender spare ribs, Because the tap was broken, it turned out that bottled beer could not be ordered according to the menu either, My husband thought that was a real shame. Better luck next time your restaurant has a cozy atmosphere.

We had a delicious meal here prior to a theater visit. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, served at the table in a very pleasant and relaxed manner, and received an equally warm farewell afterwards. We truly felt very welcome.

Nice place, but very drafty and cold. Food is what you would expect from De Beren, nothing special. Service and waitstaff mediocre. Mayonnaise was forgotten, so I'm not thrilled. 9 people and serving 2 desserts already while the other 7 still need to be taken isn't really correct. But also very cold / drafty. A shame, a missed opportunity.

We ate at De Beren in Capelle aan den IJssel 5 years ago and those were two disappointments; we decided never to eat there again. However, thanks to the 3-menu special, we decided to give it a try, just in case things had changed. I was surprised; we had a great meal, the staff was friendly, and it was good value for money! If it stays this good, we will definitely eat here more often.

We had an amazing waiter who really loves his job 👌

We ate here using the Kruidvat promotion. The food was delicious and it is a beautiful and cozy restaurant. The staff is super friendly but seems a bit rushed. We hadn't even sat down yet when they asked what we wanted to drink. But it is definitely worth a repeat visit.

I have been to De Beren several times already; others could learn a thing or two from that.

Young, inexperienced staff. Had to wait a long time for food and drinks even though it was quiet.

Well maintained restaurant, neat service.

The 3-course menu was fine. Capelle has a cozy restaurant by the water and incredibly friendly service.

This De Beren restaurant in Capelle aan den IJssel is one of the nicest in the chain. The staff is very friendly and helpful, even though it was a very busy evening. And where can you eat so well, a 3-course menu for €29.95. Delicious dishes with a wide variety of choices, including vegetarian options. Highly recommended.

Had dinner with the organizing committee as a closing event. We were early, but that was no problem. The service was good and the food was good too.

We had a Kruidvat voucher and had a great meal. Reinier served us and did so very well! A nice, friendly young man. But the other people walking around were nice too! The atmosphere in the place was a bit less pleasant, as it was very quiet. It's smart of them to participate in a promotion like this; otherwise, we wouldn't have gone to eat at De Beren on a Tuesday.

You can have a great meal here in a good atmosphere with pleasant service.

Good atmosphere, hardly any waiting times, young but super enthusiastic and friendly staff. We had a lovely evening, with a view of the water.

We had a delicious meal, and that too with a Kruidvat 2 for the price of 1 voucher. The only downside was that the treats for the coffee were completely gone, except for the chocolates.

Nice, cozy place, good service, nice staff, and yummy food.

Very good service, helped very politely, definitely worth repeating

Very friendly service, an excellent lunch menu, with great, tasty lunch dishes.

Had a delicious meal at De Beren Capelle yesterday. Great promotion from Kruidvat: 2nd menu free. Good service. Worth repeating!

I go there often, and it is always very pleasant.

Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. We had to wait an incredibly long time for our desserts. When a dessert was finally served, the ice cream had already largely melted and was completely soft. We then had to wait even longer for the remaining desserts. The service also left much to be desired. We were offered drinks once, but after that, we didn't see anyone again. There was hardly any staff walking around in our section of the restaurant. This was also clearly noticeable at the tables, where empty glasses and plates were left standing everywhere. I had already heard various stories about this restaurant beforehand, but unfortunately, those experiences have now been confirmed. For us, this was the last time. We will not be coming back here!

We arrived at your establishment with 7 people in three cars, around 6:00 PM. The food was really top-notch as always, the service always friendly, etc. All fine. But what struck us was that the parking lot offered sufficient space to park our cars. You would expect it to be packed on a Sunday evening. I saw a few light fixtures in your restaurant flickering. I would say it's overdue maintenance? Another tip: neither I nor my guests found the pictograms for the toilets very clear as to which one is for ladies and which is for gentlemen. I encountered a door leading upstairs that had no sign on it. I walked to the men's toilet and wondered where the ladies' toilet was. It is clear to me which toilet is intended for whom. But for strangers, this can take quite a bit of searching.

It was super cozy and we had a fun evening, and the food was great.

Last Sunday we went for lunch there for my father's birthday, so there were 9 of us. The drinks took an hour, and they didn't come for drinks in between. Two of us had the satay menu with fries and prawn crackers. The food arrived before the others, who had almost finished, only then did ours arrive. There were no fries with the satay; they said they were still in the deep fryer. We finished the satay, and everyone else had already finished their food before the fries finally arrived. However, we saw that other people did get their fries. The satay wasn't warm either, and there were no prawn crackers with it, even though the menu stated they were included. So we asked twice, and they said they would bring them. Well, they never were. Then we went to order dessert. I had told two staff members that it was my father's birthday, so I asked for a small firework. The desserts arrived, and without the firework. Only when the dessert was finished did the firework arrive. So it all took a very long time, and no one came by for drinks. So, I had a very bad experience there. From now on, I'll go to a different Beers.

Beautiful location and very cozy and tastefully decorated. Excellent food.

Long wait and not warm dessert half-smoked, a shame, but at another place it was top-notch👍

Beautiful location on the Hollandse IJssel. Spacious outdoor terrace, spacious, cozy dining area. Had a delicious lunch.

We had to wait quite a long time for the next rounds. Not ridiculously long, but longer than was pleasant. And the main course came with a salad, but there was so little of it that it would have been better left out. Otherwise, the service was incredibly friendly!

Had a delicious meal, good and friendly staff. And a great location on the IJssel, of course!

The food was very tasty again, though it is a bit of a shame that there is so little choice. The prawns in garlic sauce were very tasty again; the chicken Piri Piri was too spicy even for my husband, so I was happy with the chicken satay, which was good. The wait staff needs a bit more training to be customer-friendly, because that always makes your dinner just a little more enjoyable. But we will definitely be back again.

The food was tasty, although the medium rare steak was actually close to well done. Nevertheless, it was still tender and I enjoyed it. The service is quick and friendly without being pushy, and the atmosphere is inviting.

For years, we regularly ordered and dined at De Beren with great pleasure, but after our last visit, we have unfortunately decided that this will be the last time for the time being. While it was previously always a reliable and pleasant place, we have noticed a downward trend in the food and the overall experience lately. After a disappointment six months ago, we wanted to give it a fair chance, but that turned out to be a huge letdown. The staff is friendly, but unfortunately, they lacked alertness. We were there on a quiet evening when there were noticeably more staff than guests present. Yet, in nearly three hours, we were only asked twice if we wanted something to drink. It was difficult to make eye contact or beckon someone to our table. We frequently got the feeling that people were deliberately looking right over us. As a result, we sat with empty glasses during the main course, and it was not until long after the dish was finished that someone came by again, even though busyness really could not be an excuse. It was also noticeable that lights in the children's play area and in two other places in the restaurant were flickering annoyingly without anyone paying attention to it. In terms of food, the evening started well: the bread and the starter were fine and flavorful. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there: Main Course: The Spicy Crispy Chicken consisted almost exclusively of a mountain of soggy bell peppers. There were exactly five pieces of chicken on the plate, which were soggy rather than crispy. Children's Menus: The fries were served cold, and the chicken nuggets fell short of those from an average snack bar in terms of quality and presentation. Desserts: This was unfortunately the low point of the evening. With the Coffee Deluxe, the cappuccino was delicious, but the brownie and blondie pieces felt like they had just come out of the freezer and were ice-cold on the bottom. With the Apple Crumble, the apple was hard and cold, reminiscent more of a hastily thawed frozen product than a freshly baked crumble from the oven. Caramellow Brownie (€ 8.50): The table menu and promotional videos promise a warm brownie with roasted, melted marshmallows. What arrived at the table was a bowl of cold, almost frozen brownie pieces with cold marshmallows and a drizzle of caramel sauce. We complained about this upon serving. Afterward, no one seemed to pay any attention to our complaint, and because staff were so difficult to reach, it took a long time before we could raise the issue again. The offer for a new one came so late that the rest of the table had already finished. In the end, we received a €5 discount, while three-quarters of the dessert was left uneaten. We can certainly understand the employee's response that it 'doesn't look as picture-perfect as in the photo,' but the remark that the marshmallows aren't supposed to be toasted or melted at all misses the mark with how De Beren itself presents this dish. We have fond and fond memories of how De Beren used to be, but with such prices for dishes that largely seem to come from the freezer and service that literally leaves guests thirsty, the price-quality ratio is unfortunately completely lost for us.

Had some lovely quality time at your place with my grandson. I would love to come again, but this time with my granddaughter. We had a delicious meal and played wonderfully.

Had delicious satay on the terrace. Great offer and great atmosphere.

Always service with a smile! 😊 The food is always perfectly seasoned and delicious. A beautiful and cozy location with a stunning view. Highly recommended!

My son has Celiac syndrome, which means his immune system reacts to gluten. I indicated this during the online reservation, where I was even asked about it. I then indicated it again when placing the order. Apparently, they don't check the system, and subsequently the food was served with prawn crackers and onions, to which I asked if this was gluten-free. The immediate response was: "Everything is gluten-free, sir..." "Could you please check anyway?", and indeed, "Sorry sir, it is not gluten-free after all." I'll arrange it, and 2 minutes later a new?? gluten-free dish appeared on the table... The conclusion is that the allergen menu looks nice, but the staff has no idea..

Yesterday we thoroughly enjoyed the Saturday menu, everything was delicious and the service was top-notch! (Fabian V.) The atmosphere is good, so see you again soon 👌

Had another delicious meal, a cozy atmosphere, and very nice service. I've forgotten his name for a moment, but he was a very nice waiter with a curly mustache. He really radiated the joy he took in his work!

The satays were delicious, though a bit of a shame that no lettuce or salad is served with them, but only sweet and sour vegetable sticks.

Positive experience, but had to wait a very long time for dessert because it was forgotten.

The food was delicious and the girl attending on us was lovely. Unfortunately the kitchen must have been in trouble and the wait was very long

We had a delicious meal, but we were bothered by flickering lights all evening, which was quite annoying.

Pleasant restaurant, great food, definitely recommended if you are going with children... they can play in the playground and there is an indoor play structure.

Great food, great service 👍beautiful location.

It was really disappointing. We tried it again and took the satay menu from the special offer. We were asked what kind of fries we wanted with it, but we weren't told that you have to pay extra for them. The satay and sauce were lukewarm. The cappuccino afterwards was also lukewarm, and for the price of €3.70, you couldn't get a cookie with it. All in all, not a good deal for us. When we mentioned it, all they said was "Sorry, we will pass it on," but nothing else was done about it. It is a nice restaurant in a pleasant location, though. I did receive a response via Google from De Beren, asking if I wanted to send an email to their Gmail address. I did that, but haven't heard anything since. Not even after I sent an email three more times.

Once again: delicious food, friendly staff, until next time!

We came for the Saturday offer. The satay was delicious as always. Unfortunately, the promised socks were sold out.. 9 days left to try again.

Great for a repeat visit and highly recommended for everyone.

What a fun promotion with the satay, and it's also great that you get the bear socks as a gift with this promotion. However, just like last year, we were told again that they were sold out, even though the promotion still has a week to go. Too bad!!

Super friendly service! Delicious satay with equally delicious sweet potato fries!!

Good experience at De Beren, it was quiet there.....so we were served quickly and friendly. The high tea was delicious, only proportionally more sweet than savory. But everything was tasty!!

Had a great meal. Asked about a piece of the wedding or if it was possible to get some posters of the bears. No problem, tube full. Thanks.

Staff turnover, was a bit chaotic last time. Food is always good.

We had the satay menu and the chicken satay and fries were delicious. The service was very friendly. The restaurant has a cozy interior. In short: highly recommended!

Had a delicious meal and super nice and fast service. Compliments to the staff!

Had a good meal .. satay was fine - only 2 skewers is a bit meager ..

Tried the Satember last night. It was very good. The service was also top-notch, with a smile. We were welcomed by a very friendly young man. That's what we do it for. Left feeling satisfied.

I found the people who were working really sweet and friendly.

Very cozy, friendly service, and the food was delicious. We found the interior of De Beren atmospheric; highly recommended!

Sometimes a bit noisy due to the many children

Passionate service. Extremely good staff.

The three of us had a high tea. It was delicious, with a lot of variety.

It's a shame there wasn't much service. They did try their best, though.

Went out for dinner last night It was delicious and cozy 🐻😋

The food was good and tasty, and the staff was very sociable and friendly. We will definitely be back soon.

We had a delicious meal and the service was superb! Very attentive and focused on the guests.

What a nice location and a cozy atmosphere. Nice service and the satay was excellent.

The food tastes very good and the service is very attentive and friendly.

Had a lovely evening. Attentive service. Ate delicious, tender satay and received very nice socks!

Had another delicious meal at De Beren Capelle. The staff is friendly, the food arrived quickly and was very tasty.

Had lunch with 7 people (including 2 children). Pleasant experience, the food was fine, and the service was good and friendly. No very long waiting times, and we were able to sit outside and take the children to the playground (a pirate ship with climbing and sliding).

I actually don't really understand why we keep trying again every time. It's such a shame, because the concept and the location are really top-notch! There aren't many indoor and outdoor play options around here. But today was truly a very sad affair again. I understood that an important staff member was sick, but even so, the level was truly dramatic. - Ordered drinks and 5 minutes later ordered snacks (bitterballen and very tasty nachos). The snacks arrived after 10 minutes, but we still didn't have drinks; that took a while again! Then came a lame excuse: it's busier at the bar than in the kitchen. (There was really barely a table occupied on a sunny day around 2:00 PM). When the drinks were being served by someone else, we were told that a supervisory bar staff member was sick. That's why I hesitated for a moment to write this, but it just wouldn't stop. - Iced coffee was terrible! We are certainly not used to this here; 3/4 of the glass was whipped cream. - A friend sat down and ordered croquettes on bread and an ice cream. The ice cream never arrived, and the croquettes came without mustard and without cutlery. - The waitress came to bring a drink but refused to take away 1 plate and 2 empty glasses; she said she would do so shortly (hello... customer wants it gone), while she stood with an empty tray in front of us. Unfortunately, she didn't clear it away until we paid the bill either. - Another group of 5 people came in through the side entrance on the playground side, and they were also told, anything but kindly, that they had to enter through the main entrance. She then proceeded to give these guests dirty looks with her colleague. And there were a few other things. When paying the bill, no one asked if everything was to our liking, so I couldn't share that either. It is a shame, but it is the last time, and probably the last for many others as well, because it was so quiet on this beautiful day.

It was nice that attention was also paid to the assistance dog; she got a nice bowl of water! She was calm!

There was only one young man serving. This was due to a colleague being ill or something. But the food was on time. Compliments to this young man! He certainly deserved my tip.

We had the satay menu and it was fine. A minor point of criticism is that it didn't come with prawn crackers. The staff were friendly and attentive, as always.

Had lunch with a friend. The restaurant looked neat and clean. The restroom was clean too. The staff was friendly, chatted, and cracked a joke. The food was tasty and the portions sufficient. In short, it was a pleasant afternoon and I will definitely come back.

You create the atmosphere yourself. It is not a fish restaurant; I ordered a tuna steak and was very disappointed, too dry. I asked for drinks 3 times and they didn't come. They can do better.

Cozy atmosphere and the staff are very helpful; despite being very understaffed, they really do their best to give you a nice evening. The food was delicious again as usual, and apart from a few minor things that were resolved very quickly, we had a great evening.

Great location in Capelle. Friendly service and delicious food.

Very good, fast service, nice staff, not pushy, professional and friendly.

The table we sat at had a good view, and the service was excellent.

Too little staff. Had to wait approx. 20 minutes for the first drink. The bread arrived sooner.

Beautiful restaurant in a stunning location. Extensive menu, super friendly staff at the reception and when settling the bill. Fabian V, compliments to you, you have an eye for the guests! Tasty food, you feel welcome. A huge compliment to these Beren!!

The food was delicious, really tasty. It was just a shame about the presentation; the profiteroles were lying on an old wooden cutting board. It looked awful.

It really is a beautiful place and location by the water... They recently took over the business and are doing their very best despite the tight staffing due to the holidays... They were very friendly and the chefs were also friendly and enthusiastic... We will definitely go back, especially for the satay month in September for €9.95...

We ordered a lunch special that looked good, but we noticed with the chicken satay with peanut sauce that it had been kept warm for quite a long time. The chicken was quite dry and the croquette wasn't very hot anymore. The rest was good though. So if it were served from the pan faster, this would simply be resolved. The hamburger was very tasty and the club sandwich was also good, it's just a shame that the bread wasn't really fresh. The service was very friendly and the place looks neat and clean.

We had high tea. It was a bit messy because the table was very full; it might be useful to serve the food on tiered stands, as that would save space.

The quality of the food is always good at the bears. This location feels more upscale than other bear restaurants.

Had high tea on the terrace today. It was incredibly good. The tea was refilled every time. The snacks for the high tea were very well prepared and very tasty. The staff were incredibly friendly, cheerful, and immediately ready to help even though there were plenty of customers. Very satisfied. High tea here again on August 15th; different but everything was well organized, lots of nice tea. No terrace today due to rain.

Uninterested staff. Burnt schnitzels and burnt satay. Strawberry rumble that looked mashed, not a strawberry to be seen on top. Didn't look like the photo at all.

We had a delicious meal and they were very considerate regarding allergies. Fortunately, it was possible to deviate from the standard dishes. There were too few serving staff, which meant there were some long waits.

Nice location, service a bit lacking. Probably due to the holidays. Had high tea, it's always delicious there. I would bring the sandwiches and soup first, then the sweet treats.

The food was good, but I was given a spoon with my lunch. I wondered why; at home, I checked the menu again online, and it was supposed to include soup. I didn't get any!

Really nice, the food is good. Service really polite inside and outside, beautiful view over the Hollandse Ijssel.

Delicious food and friendly service!

A lovely high tea with my daughter. On the terrace. Delicious treats and friendly service.

Friendly staff, received excellent service, and a beautiful location. I just find it a shame and simply unpleasant when you are eating outside and people sit next to you to smoke. It affects the taste of the food. You are then inclined to get up and go sit inside, but you also want to sit outside comfortably 🫣. Please offer those who still want to light a cigarette a spot where they won't bother anyone with their smoke. It would also be a bit healthier for the kids 🤗.

Friendly service Good food Worth repeating
