Restaurant De Beren Gorinchem in Wijk 01 Gorinchem binnenstad

We arrived at 6:15 PM and still hadn't received our main course. We had to wait half an hour for our drinks, and we didn't order dessert otherwise we'd have had to wait even longer. As compensation, we were given two drinks off the bill. No more drinks for us.

We simply had a delicious meal. No frills, just excellent. Fast service and comfortable chairs.

Great ambiance, wonderful view, good ribs, hospitable staff, top price-quality.

Good service and excellent food. The price/quality ratio is excellent.

It was wonderful! And the atmosphere where we were sitting was fantastic. There was a fireplace, fantastic!

The food was truly delicious. The service was also very good and friendly.

The food is good and tasty. A nice restaurant with friendly staff. You'll definitely come back here.

Great food, especially the gyozas!

Delicious food, you really get value for your money. Friendly service ♡

I had another classic for lunch: chicken satay with fries. The satay was absolutely delicious, the fries a bit less French and a bit overcooked, not quite my preference.

Super tasty food and very friendly staff!☺️

Delicious food and a beautiful place ☺️

I come here monthly, and it's always my favorite. This is partly due to the excellent service, which feels like good friends ;)

The food here is truly excellent! I've been coming here often now, especially because of the atmosphere and the service, which feels like a familiar acquaintance. Highly recommended.

Delicious food. Pleasant atmosphere. Beautiful location.

Visited many Beren locations, but this one is really the best 👏🏻👌🏻

Always a very pleasant environment to sit in. From reception to departure

Just a nice, casual bite to eat. Fast and friendly service. Choice of indoor or outdoor dining. Just go for a meal and you'll know what I mean.

The food was absolutely delicious. The truffle croquettes, satay, sweet potato fries, and apple crumble were delicious! Perhaps the staff could ask a bit more often if everything was still to your liking regarding drinks. They could generate a bit more revenue. But otherwise, it was very enjoyable and delicious. Excellent value for money.

We had the Albert Heijn lunch special. With that deal, you could choose one lunch dish per person. There was quite a wide selection. We had the 12-hour special. It was delicious, but also a large portion and included four different options. We could have skipped dinner.

Cozy atmosphere, able to eat at ease, nice menu with attractive prices, delicious food, good overall concept.

We had a Kruidvat voucher, definitely recommended, delicious and plenty of food

Took advantage of the Albert Heijn lunch deal. Excellent lunch with a wide selection, with the occasional small extra charge. Relaxed meal and great service!

Well organized with six grandchildren under 10 and five adults. The table was set, and the children immediately received a fun activity/drawing placemat. We even took home bear socks and a bear ice cream cup. Kudos to the team, and everyone's plates were emptied. Even our three-year-old grandson complimented us on "well done, chef!" The surprise dessert, a fire on the table to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary, was really nice. All in all, a delicious evening.

A friendly establishment in the center of Gorinchem. Parking is always available in the parking garage or on the square. You'll receive a warm welcome and a friendly atmosphere, and the food is always excellent.

Cozy restaurant with quiet background music

The food was good and tasty. The schnitzel was delicious.

Delicious food and affordable prices

Enjoyed an excellent midday snack for lunch. Very varied, a bit of everything, and more than enough.

Today was a day of shopping in Gorichem, ending with a wonderful meal at De Beren. We had a delicious meal with our daughter and grandma, followed by dessert (which was delicious again). All in all, a wonderful way to end the day with you.

Warm welcome, cozy atmosphere, delicious food, generous portions, friendly staff. Good prices, highly recommended.

Excellent service and delicious meal.

We ate here with two friends through a social deal. The soup and appetizer were okay, but the main course, "spicy chicken," wasn't crispy at all; the limp vegetables were soaked in sauce. While one friend was still eating, the waitress came to take away all our plates and asked if we wanted dessert. We told her our friend was still eating, but she just said "oh no" and walked away. The crème brûlée dessert was, unfortunately, completely inedible. It was ice cold and had hard bits of sugar on it—simply unappetizing.

We booked through Social Deal, and even then, there was plenty of choice per course. The food was excellent. The location is good, both inside and outside on the terrace where we sat. Service was also good and fast. I would definitely go back again.

Spent a day in Gorinchem with friends on a Saturday. We booked a two-course lunch through Social Deal. It's highly recommended. The menu has a wide selection. The sandwiches and soup were delicious.

Friendly service, nice outdoor terrace, good quality food

Beautiful restaurant with a large terrace. Delicious food, exceptionally friendly staff, and excellent value for money. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a pleasant and delicious meal and drinks in Gorinchem.

I was here on Sunday, August 10th, with a few friends. We quickly got a table and menus from a lovely waitress, but unfortunately, things quickly went south. First, another server hadn't clearly asked if we wanted Parma ham with the bread, as he said it very quickly and rather softly. Consequently, an extra €6.50 was added without our knowledge. Then I was served the completely wrong burger, and the burger I received after that... completely pink inside. And this was chicken. The second burger I was served also had pink bits inside. The waitress saw that this wasn't right and took it away to get another burger. Afterward, a manager came over to us to explain that this was normal because it was a chicken thigh and that it was pre-cooked, so it couldn't be raw. But if chicken is pre-cooked, it's impossible for it to be completely pink, I suppose? We agreed to take the chicken burger off the bill because I was the only one still waiting for my food while everyone else had already finished. This was eventually withdrawn out of the blue, and a more expensive burger was even added to the bill! Another friend's fries weren't served until we asked about them, and then we received an apology about a fries-sharing rule that wasn't on the menu. We even had to pay extra for those fries! We went back twice about the bill, and in the end, we still ended up paying extra! If you want something good to eat, you're better off going to one of the snack bars nearby, where you can at least get good food for a good price.

We go out with friends a few times a year, and this time it was Gorinchem Fortress. I happened to see a two-course lunch on Social Deal, and we booked it. Definitely no regrets. The weather was wonderful, so we could sit outside. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere in the fortress is cozy! We had a wonderful lunch! It took a while for them to come back at the end, but it was busy. Just be patient. It was fantastic for us.

Lovely in the center of Gorinchem. Large terrace: excellent food for a great price. The service is welcoming and fast, everything perfect. However, the atmosphere is quite noisy here, and guests at nearby tables/patios can sometimes be disruptive. (For privacy, it might be better to sit inside.) Lovely in the center of Gorinchem.

Friendly. Attentive. Good food for a good price.

Great. Restaurant with delicious food and a good atmosphere, friendly staff.

Delicious lunch via Tripper. The hot chicken sandwich and grilled chicken are definitely recommended.

We visited on a recommendation, but unfortunately, it was disappointing. There was confusion about what exactly was included in the menu, which led to unclear answers. For example, a portion of fries with truffle was missing, which wasn't served until we had almost finished our plates. When we mentioned this, we received a rather laconic response: "You still have meat, right?" and "The fries are specially cooked now." We felt like we weren't being taken seriously, even though we just wanted clarity. We reluctantly paid and didn't say anything more, but it did leave us with an unpleasant feeling. A shame, because we came with high expectations.

We had chateaubriand...and it was wonderfully tender! The staff was very friendly.

It's a shame it's not clearly stated what you get - this led to a discussion, and we didn't get what we'd asked for. For example, a truffle fries package was missing and arrived just as we were almost finished with our menus. When we pointed this out, we weren't treated seriously - what do you mean? You still have a piece of meat, right? And yes, the fries are now specially cooked. Wow. I didn't expect this to be so difficult! I reluctantly paid and didn't make a fuss, but it does leave a bitter aftertaste.

We gingen vooraf aan een theater bezoek wat eten bij de Beren.. doorgaans is mijn ervaring bij de Beren oké tot goed. We zaten buiten aan een wiebelige tafel vlak bij de ingang,. Twee mensen namen de bestellingen op en een aantal mensen liepen de bestellingen uit, dat werkt goed. de hoofd opnemer liep als een soort opzichter de anderen aan te sporen en gaf korte commando’s, en keek daar niet echt vriendelijk bij, waardoor er van een gezellig etentje geen sprake was, de gast- vriendelijkheid werd wel geprobeerd maar is niet gelukt! Het voorgerecht werd geserveerd op een schoteltje maar was wel erg lekker van smaak. de friet werd geserveerd. ( grote porties) die je moet bij bestellen bij het drie gangen menu, kort daarop kreeg mijn man zijn saté.. het zag er onverzorgd uit, mijn saté kwam pas veel later, toen mijn man het al op had! Dat vond ik ronduit vervelend, als je samen uit eten gaat! De normaal zo lekkere saté was ook niet oké, De saus lag er als een dikke, veel te pittige donkere drap op! Wat wel uitstekend was is de koffie met de friandises! Het was druk, te druk waardoor mensen weg gekeken werden, bediening vergat aardig te zijn en de opzichter te veel aan het managen was.. de bediening liep ook honderd keer verkeerd met de bestelling.. ik kreeg nog cola over mijn blouse omdat er wat omviel.. ik moest 85 euro betalen voor 2 x een drie gangen menu een spa rood twee cola en een koffie! ( Brood en friet) Ik vind het zo jammer want eerdere ervaringen waren wel goed. Te veel mensen willen bedienen zorgt voor een onverzorgde uitstraling. Terwijl ik voor die 42,50 pp elders veel gezelliger zit, gastvrij ontvangen wordt en lekker eet! Dat kan Echt beter Beren… aardig zijn kost niks .. oplossingen aanbieden ook niet! Mij zie je er niet meer!

The food is delicious! You are always greeted in a friendly manner and the place has a cozy atmosphere!

Great food, more than enough. Music was good and service was fast. It wasn't busy either.

22-5-2025 ate unlimited spareribs. Good atmosphere, delicious food and very friendly/empathetic staff. I would recommend everyone to eat at this restaurant #GreatExperience👍🏻

The food was delicious! The Japanese dumplings, Gyoza's were the tastiest thing I have ever eaten. The garlic shrimp, delicious! The spicy crispy chicken, delicious! Whole plates full. And let's not even mention the delicious desserts. 🤤 The service is very friendly. We will definitely eat here more often. This restaurant is highly recommended.

Veggie burger was disgusting, when reported nothing or hardly anything was done with it. The waiter's attitude was haughty. If I could give zero stars I would. The risotto ordered instead of the burger was mediocre.

Started the 3 course menu with the carpaccio, which was delicious! The bear burger with fries as a main course was also tasty. For dessert the Dameblanche, which was NOT edible. The ice had crystalized! When I spoke to the manager about this, he responded very nonchalantly. Did I want a new one? No, thank you! And if you have ever been to the Beren in Rotterdam, this location does not have such a pleasant atmosphere.

Had the avocado eggs Benedict for lunch. The food arrived on time and looked beautiful, the service was excellent. The taste of the whole was good, the poached eggs tasted a bit old and had a crust, which is an unknown preparation to me. They gave me an unpleasant mouthfeel.

Delicious lunch, super good and friendly staff and a cozy terrace.

This is one of the nicest and nicest restaurants in Gorinchem. Excellent service and tasty and good food.

Very friendly staff and very tasty food.

Had a delicious meal at De Beren Gorinchem last night. Service super friendly and pleasant and the food really delicious. We enjoyed it.Top

Unfortunately the staff was very unfriendly. And they were mainly concerned with each other. We had to wait a very long time for our food and never got our dessert even though they did put it on the bill.

Delicious food and very friendly staff. Cozy atmosphere in the shop. We had a table by the window and had a nice view over the square

We come regularly, in a pleasant atmosphere, with good food and if the food is less than adequate, we respond correctly, we like to come here.

Delicious food, friendly welcome

Delicious meal with the family. Enjoy a quiet meal without being constantly disturbed whether you want something to drink. Had the 3 course menu. Carpaccio, spicy chicken thigh with sweet fries and Apple crumble for dessert. Really delicious and more than enough.

Went for a meal for twelve hours, it was delicious and the dietary requirements were carefully listened to. Super friendly waitress, lovely quiet meal and the food was excellent. Will definitely come back again

We had a lovely meal at the Bears, a 3-course menu and the service was excellent

Had a wonderful brunch with my wife. Friendly and quick help. Club sandwich was delicious and far above expectations, would love to come back here.

Just good food. And friendly service.

Delicious food and great service!

Welcoming and friendly staff. Delicious food!

For the Kruidvat voucher I had a delicious 3 course menu of choice that is definitely worth repeating

Don't miss the price, performance of the old Beren restaurants. Too expensive and too mediocre in relation to the price. For that money you can also go to a "normal" restaurant.

DON’T EAT HERE. Mediocre, sad burgers. Overpriced. Dry, unappetizing boring burgers. Fries are clearly store bought as well as meat. Even at a cheap snackbar the food is better. I paid 20 euros for that piece of crap. This is a RIP OFF

Surprisingly delicious food. Plenty of time between dishes. My girlfriend and I had a nice evening.

Enjoyed it immensely. Food, service and atmosphere are all good.

It was very cozy, friendly staff and above all delicious food.

Had a perfect and delicious baby shower with high tea with the bears. Everything was perfectly arranged: quiet place in the restaurant and more than enough food.

Very atmospheric, delicious food!

Bad experience, food took too long, we had to pay for something we never got. We got the wrong dish. We had to wait 45 minutes before we got our drinks. The food was fine. The only thing that was good was the environment. It looked nice.

We had a bachelor party and everyone had their food and I had to wait half an hour for my starter, in addition, the waitress(s) were antisocial and everyone seemed like a number. The 5 stars for the atmosphere certainly did not come from the restaurant but from the people at the bachelor party.

The high tea was very tasty. Good service and it is a cozy restaurant.

WOW. I highly recommend eating here. The most consistent restaurant. I have now eaten here 15 times Iver the past 3 months. For lunch and dinner, every time the food and service is superb. I had the eggs benedict with salmon and bacon with extra bacon. I personally want to thank all the staff at De Beren for their service. It's refreshing to see excellence and consistency. See you again soon. Mark Tudor.

Unfortunately, I contracted food poisoning/salmonella due to the pink chicken from the crunchy chicken burger.

Most of the dishes were fine. However, my son had a chicken burger that was undercooked and still pink on the inside. Shortly after our visit to the Beren, my son developed serious complaints of nausea, etc. Similar to salmonella poisoning. Urgent request to the cook to ensure that all chicken (burgers) are fully cooked. We realize that we should have immediately reported this to the waiter while eating. Still with this one.

Delicious food and drinks for a good price.

Not a good experience. Went out for dinner with the 5 of us and ordered a drink and bread with spread but it never arrived. Orders that did not arrive at the same time. My veggie chicken burger was tough and not tasty. We passed it on and it was resolved properly. So unfortunately not worth repeating.

Had lunch on a Saturday afternoon with 5 people. The croquettes turned out to be cold, so I had new ones fried. It even still had the ice cream in it, so I sent it back again and ordered a bouncer. Not much can go wrong with that. Tablemates received lukewarm chicken dishes. Carpaccio was okay, I was asked to have fried bacon but there were only a few of them. It couldn't have been due to the crowds because it was remarkably quiet in the restaurant.

Friendly service, mediocre food

Delicious food, friendly owner and employees. There is a lovely modern fireplace that you can see on both sides. This beautiful restaurant is located in the center

it is a cozy restaurant, good food. service is friendly and customer-oriented. really recommended

We ate at these bears today 4/12, at least we left feeling nauseous. 3 course menu, starter were frozen shrimps. Main course was salmon and it had an extra taste, namely a blond piece of human hair. We immediately finished eating. We brought in a blonde lady, in After consultation with the manager who was not very friendly, we were able to get 2 drinks from the company, well those were the 2 coffees that you could get as an after dish with desserts. We could not rate desserts because we did not receive them. Once you pay the full amount at the cash register for 2 x 3 course menu, this is not worth repeating for us.

We went here for dinner on a Wednesday. The place was very full, which speaks for itself. We hadn't reserved a table and yet we were offered a table after a 20-minute wait. We passed the time with a walk and at the bar. The food was very tasty and came to the table relatively quickly after ordering. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. We felt very comfortable here, hence a full 5 stars. We'd love to come back!

Bring the meat here, nice place with nice staff

I know this is a fast food restaurant but the services are still below my expectation. The waitresses served wrong dishes three times and the rest of the time we were just being ignored. I have to ask to get drinks. We waited for 25 minutes for the desserts. Overall a terrible place which I will never return.

Food was very tasty, especially the gyozas are highly recommended. And the crispy chicken is also really tasty. Service was very friendly. Otherwise we just had a pleasant evening.

Nice dining experience. Good service and very friendly staff. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also very nice

Very good food, nice service and friendly staff. The atmosphere here is also very nice

I have eaten here often and think this is a top restaurant. They have fantastic service and very friendly staff. It's always great here and surprises me time and time again.

Good service and very excellent food

In every respect we had a pleasant and delicious meal with our whole family. A quiet table was even provided, so that grandma and grandpa could follow everything.

Je kunt hier 'onbeperkt' spareribs eten. Idd. dat is ook zo, doordeweeks t/m donderdag. De Spareribs zijn heel matig! Ik heb Spareribs met honing, ketjap en barceque besteld, ik kon eerijk gezegd het verschil tussen die smaken niet proeven. Het is allemaal dezelfde hap. Valt erg tegen. Mijn vriendin bestelde een Gin-tonic, en ik een Tequila Sunrise. Die drankjes zijn erg duur, maar je krijgt absoluut geen waar voor je geld. Er zat veel te weinig Gin in, en ook veel te weinig Tequila. Hier verdienen ze lekker aan, maar jagen daarmee ook al het publiek weg. Ik kom hier nooit meer.
