Restaurant Etenswaard in Wijk 00 Valkenswaard

They didn't explain to us how it works and that they charge for alcohol like beer!! Little choice in the food

Had a delicious meal for the first time

We found the salmon and oysters much tastier the previous times.

Received a very friendly welcome. It was my mom's birthday, so she only had to pay half. The food was very tasty; the clearing of used items was all very good, and it is worth repeating. It was very good.

The price-quality ratio is good.

Everything was very good, only we found the pieces of meat and fish too big; we would have preferred small pieces so that we could also taste other things.

A great restaurant where you can enjoy a delicious meal with a choice of various dishes from different cuisines.

Best all-you-can-eat restaurant I have ever eaten at. We have been coming here for years and the quality is perfect every time!

I would be tempted to give 5 starts, the only "less good" thing is that the noise and rumour in the room where many people are eating at ALL the tables (at times when it is packed with crowds) there tends to be a lot of noise, because there is no noise separation between the tables... But ALL other aspects are quite impressive and deserve a 5stars rating

We come here very often. Very tasty, very extensive, friendly. Simply superb!

Excellent international restaurant. Delicious food at a reasonable price.

Very cozy, delicious food, and great service. Highly recommended.

The restaurant was spacious. The food was certainly good and everything freshly prepared.

The quality of the food was fine. We found the selection and the size of the takeaway area to be very small for the size of the restaurant. The selection was not very extensive. If you don't want to stand in line for too long, I recommend going early. We were there at 16:30. When we left at 18:30, it was very busy and there were lines at the griddle.

First time but certainly not the last!!! Best restaurant you are, class and style! Van Houdt - Vanhoof Family

Received the requested round table, very nice

The food was great, the service was a bit less friendly, but it was also very busy. There was a lot of noise though.

A pleasant place to stay. Good place to eat.

Very tasty and extensive buffet. Friendly service.

Looks neat, the lights aren't too bright, otherwise the hospitality is super good, the food is tasty, so highly recommended to drop by 😉

For an all-you-can-eat, it was absolutely fine. We went on a Monday during the holidays and it was nice and quiet. The children really enjoyed their meal and played in the play corner. We were able to have a nice meal with friends. The selection wasn't huge, but we liked what was available. So, all in all, highly recommended!

Uncut, far too much eating no more!

Always very tasty, the staff is always friendly. We like coming here.

The food was mediocre, the ambiance very noisy, and the price-quality ratio is not right. We will certainly NOT come back here.

Misleading regarding prices and food products! 0 - 2 years free, 3.- extra per year Yet suddenly they are charging 6 euros for a 2-year-old?! Who, by the way, isn't eating or drinking anything because he is still being breastfed. Furthermore, the whole attitude and service are simply bad. The restaurant is empty and people with reservations are simply placed in a waiting room? Why? The lady working there is unfriendly; she cheats on prices and provides no service. A shame.

Very well presented, very good service, and the food was certainly very good. I would recommend it to everyone.

Just like every year when we are on vacation in the area, we enjoy eating here with the family... one more time next week!!

Nice restaurant. Lots of choice and most of it good. The kio teppanyaki was way too much and the kangaroo was overcooked and therefore tough. Tasty sauces with the wok. Play area for the children and choices for children to eat.

The food is very good as always, but unfortunately I think it has become a bit too expensive.

Extensive selection. Fresh products. Tasty dishes. Top restaurant. Definitely recommended.

Wide selection, something for everyone. Everything looks fresh and neat. It is also quickly replenished if something runs out.

Tasty food. If you have something grilled, you do get a very large portion right away. When you ask for a half portion, that isn't always accommodated. The fresher food is tasty, though, and the service is fine.

I think they have good food there.

We had a nice meal, the selection was good. The line at the grill/grill was quite long, though, making it difficult to get to the buffet across the way. The seating area was nice, but because of the benches on both sides, you constantly had to stand up for each other. The tables were quite close together. Larger (8+) groups in the middle, between smaller tables, made me feel the atmosphere was less pleasant.

THE NICEST RESTAURANT IN THE NETHERLANDS!!

Etenswaard Valkenswaard, A lot for a little, but little that sticks Etenswaard in Valkenswaard is an all-you-can-eat restaurant like so many others. Large, lots of choice, unlimited walking around, and above all: a lot for a little. And let that be the very essence of the experience. You can really eat a lot here. A whole lot. Sushi, grill, hot dishes, desserts—it’s all there. But the problem is that everything feels a bit the same. Flattened in flavor, safe, nowhere distinctive, not surprising. It is as if all the dishes have taken a course in “how not to stand out.” For some people, this is exactly what they are looking for: lots of choice, a fixed price, no hassle. With a large group, hungry teenagers, or if you simply value volume over refinement, then you are in the right place here. Your plate is never empty; that is guaranteed. But if you are hoping for quality, atmosphere, or dishes that stick with you, then it becomes more difficult. The ambiance feels somewhat soulless but is functional. It is about flow, not experience. You eat, you get takeout, you eat again. A sort of sport, but without a medal. It is not bad. Let that be clear. But it doesn't stand out anywhere. It remains stuck in the middle of the all-you-can-eat world. And there is plenty of competition there. In summary: • Lots of choice and unlimited food • Affordable for what you get • Flavors quite bland and not very pronounced • Atmosphere is functional, not special • Fine for volume, less so for experience Conclusion: Etenswaard is a typical all-you-can-eat: a lot for a little. For some, a perfect night out. For me personally, not worth repeating. Should I want to eat unlimited again in the future, I will probably drive on to a place where taste and atmosphere receive just a little more attention. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Three stars. For the quantity. But not for the memory.

Beware of misleading information about halal! We ended up at this restaurant through family and have eaten here several times. We were confirmed, both by phone and by the owner, that the food was halal, even with a certificate. Based on that, we came here with confidence. However, we recently discovered that this is not true. Upon inquiry, the owner herself stated that nothing is halal. To us, this feels like deception. Additionally, we noticed that the same spatulas are used in the kitchen for raw and cooked food, without a clear separation. This increases the risk of cross-contamination. In the wok section, too, various ingredients are mixed together. We ate here several times and spent money believing it was halal. We find it very disappointing that this turned out not to be the case. We are writing this to warn others (especially people who eat halal): be alert and do not simply assume this. For us, the trust is gone. We will not be returning here.

Nice concept, sufficient choice, but not everything tasted good, but of course that is different for everyone.

The only downside I found was that we ordered a piece of grilled meat... we immediately received 3 very large pieces instead of 1, which is a shame because we naturally want to taste more and not be full after the very first one. The staff could smile a bit more... it seemed like they weren't enjoying themselves.

The food is tasty and there is plenty of choice, but the staff seems unenthusiastic. For a truly enjoyable evening, there are much better places, although the food is above average for an all-you-can-eat.

Very tasty and fresh food. The only downside is that when you ask for new cutlery, they make a fuss about it. Eating your dessert with the same knife you used for your steak isn't pleasant.

Lovely food. A good clean space with lots of options. For €40 euros including drink, you get a good price

Fine restaurant. Still, I miss a bit of personal contact. Upon entering, you are greeted politely and (as is customary with this concept) you can pay immediately. The food is very tasty, although I wouldn't call it 'exceptional'. Just what you can expect from an all-you-can-eat. There is a nice play/climbing area for the children and the toilets were clean. I would definitely return here again!

I was here about 10 years ago and have fond memories of it. We were here this time by invitation. I didn't know it was so big now. We wouldn't go here again now. I don't like this massiveness. Sorry.

It was simply well taken care of there. The food is fine.

Great place to eat cheaply with all you can eat and drinks included.

Simply top-notch, really tasty and cozy.

Highly recommended if you are near Valkenswaard! The concept of Etenswaard is fantastic: it is an all-you-can-eat restaurant where you can truly eat almost anything you can imagine. The quality of the food is delicious and there is a huge variety, so there is something for everyone. What makes this restaurant extra nice for families is that there are good playgrounds for the children. This allows the kids to entertain themselves perfectly while the adults can dine in peace. Another big plus: the alcohol is very cheap compared to other restaurants in the region, which makes the bill at the end of the evening very pleasant. Top service and a cozy atmosphere!

Would not recommend going here. Our reservation was at 18.30, but we got our seats at 19. At least 20-30 people were also waiting for their tables, with kids no less. What is the point of making a reservation if they won’t uphold it? The athmosphere was very loud, tragic and unpersonal. The food was average at best and the chefs looked like they hated their jobs, stressed and could not bare themselves to smile once. This place lacks standards, class and any sort of genuinity. Only good thing I can say, is the variety of foods were a lot. We won’t be coming back to this place.

The staff is very friendly and the food is good quality. The atmosphere is cozy; this is highly recommended.

I found a long, thin "worm" in an oyster after eating several oysters. Absolutely disgusting! Afterward, I was sick for two days.

We had a very tasty meal again.

Delicious meals, friendly staff, and a lovely, beautiful interior. Highly recommended.

Truly the best all-you-can-eat restaurant in the Netherlands, where you can enjoy truly delicious food and drinks. The selection is enormous.

Other restaurants of this caliber are much better. The sushi tastes watery. Various types of dried-out meat. Desserts are mousses with little flavor. Etc. Clearing tables was very efficient and quick. I won't go back, preferring other restaurants of this concept. The price is the same there.

It was fantastic! A very wide selection, hygienic, and well-stocked dishes. In short, really good!!!

Delicious food and always fresh. Last time, the meat wasn't cooked quite as well, and the baker got the feedback within 5 minutes. If he doesn't know, he can't make any adjustments. Had a great evening.

Super busy, large dining hall. It was nicely decorated, though. We were there on New Year's Eve, so it was incredibly busy, which is understandable, so it's hard to judge. The staff worked their socks off.

Etenswaard in Valkenswaard is especially recommended for its food. There's a wide selection, and the dishes are flavorful and well-prepared. There's also a play corner for children. The staff isn't particularly friendly or personable, but they are efficient and professional. Don't expect a warm welcome, but you will get a tasty meal at a good price. For those who come primarily for a good meal, this is a great place.

Excellent service. I dined here with my in-laws on December 29th. We called ahead to ask if they had vegan options. They were able to order tofu for me, which they brought to us on a plate as soon as we arrived. I could have it stir-fried, and the chef made sure the pan and steamer net were cleaned beforehand. He also showed us what was vegan on the buffet. He suggested that oyster mushrooms be roasted separately in the oven for us. Very thoughtful. The food was delicious, and you can have unlimited drinks. They had, among other things, a delicious smoothie, fresh mint tea, and Bavarian Radler 0.0. We were very satisfied with the service; it's great that they're so helpful. However, it's a shame that the standard menu doesn't include more plant-based options. For dessert, we only had fruit (also warm cherries and stewed pear).

This restaurant follows the familiar wok concept: a central kitchen with a wok and griddles, surrounded by a buffet with appetizers, side dishes, and desserts, which is in turn surrounded by three dining rooms. Besides Asian food, there are also European (pizza, pasta, potatoes, snacks) and American (grilled) options. It's quite crowded and offers plenty of choice. Plates are refilled regularly, and empty plates are cleared quickly. The quality of the food is okay, less than in a traditional restaurant, but better than many buffets. Non-alcoholic drinks are included in the price of approximately 40 euros (depending on the day and how long you stay); alcoholic drinks require tokens. This type of dining is particularly suitable for families or groups with children: there's something for everyone. When it's busy, it can feel a bit like a "food court," but that's true of most restaurants with this concept (food court/buffet corner). My only downside is the atmosphere: it all looks very neat and modern, but two of the three dining rooms have no windows and long rows of chairs, benches, and tables. More variety, nooks, themes, and lighting/ambience (like ABC Restaurant, for example) would make it much more inviting. But that aside, you can eat well there for a reasonable price if you like this concept.

Very pleasant, great service. Highly recommended!!

The food is delicious, the hall is very full, and there is an annoying, unpleasant little guy who collects the dishes in between courses.

Lovely dining experience. A wide selection, and everything is prepared perfectly. Highly recommended.

We just had a delicious meal here. It was cozy, spacious, clean, lots of choices, and friendly staff.

Delicious food and a nice, clean restaurant

Well-maintained, delicious food, and friendly staff. Non-alcoholic drinks included. Extensive selection of appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Grill, wok, tepaniaki, and a buffet with hot main courses. Delicious sushi too.

Prima all you can eat restaurant

A neat and beautiful wok restaurant

Always very satisfied here! The quality is top-notch and the lamb chops are truly delicious – highly recommended! 😍 It's just a shame there were no strawberries today, but otherwise, the service is fantastic and everything is always fresh. We also come back every time for the lovely play area: it's ideal that it's right next to the dining area, so the kids can play while we keep a close eye on them. That makes dining here extra cozy and relaxing for us.

Delicious food, great atmosphere, top!

Very good selection of food and drinks, nice that alcohol is included in the price. Overall, superb international cuisine.

It's really nice here, the quality is superb. They have a small indoor playground, so it's very child-friendly too.

Been coming here for years, it's very nice and cozy! 👍

It's always delicious here, something for everyone.

Invited by friends, it was a fantastic experience. It was perfectly organized and very delicious. We will definitely be back.

It says enough that we have been coming here since the beginning and it remains very tasty.

We had a great meal at Etenswaard! Plenty of choices and the food is well-prepared and delicious!

A very wide selection, nothing to complain about. The quality is usually excellent, especially with large groups, and this is simply an excellent place to eat. The staff's friendliness could be a bit better sometimes.

The perfect ending to our annual vacation in North Brabant. It turns out this is exactly what we've been looking for these past few years: an all-inclusive restaurant that meets our expectations "back home" in Stadskanaal. (Restaurant Goud) We had a wonderful meal!! Excellent food, tastefully presented (starters), and wonderful grill, griddle, and wok experiences!! The selection is "compact," just like the kitchen layout(s), but it more than meets the needs of everyone. In that sense, it's definitely complete. The atmosphere and decor are stylish, and the more compact "rooms" create a pleasant sound level and a cozy feel. That's perfectly achieved here!! The only thing is that one of the servers was very quick to take the food away. The last bite had barely left the fork. Unfortunately, that happened a few times. On the other hand, there was also a very helpful server who was immediately ready when a cloth was needed. In short: definitely repeatable for us!!!

Great food. Lots of variety, but very noisy, but you know that with a concept like this.

Four of us dined here on Monday evening, and we were very pleased! Lots of choices, delicious food, friendly chefs and waitresses, and a beautiful restaurant too. Highly recommended!

Had a delicious meal in a beautiful and atmospheric restaurant.

The food at Etenswaard is excellent and freshly prepared while you watch. The wok and grill are especially recommended – everything is delicious and well-prepared. We prefer to come during the week, as it's much quieter then, allowing you to enjoy your meal at your leisure. Weekends are often so busy that the cozy atmosphere fades away somewhat. For some, it feels more like an eating contest than a relaxing evening out.

A wonderful restaurant with options for everyone, from steak to Dutch snacks and from fries to sushi. A delightful all-inclusive restaurant with a luxurious feel.

Very unfriendly with an incorrect booking!! Food is good

The sushi here is especially delicious and freshly made. There's also something for everyone, from pizza to grilled meat or fish, and a wide selection of desserts. Everything looks neat, but the seating is quite close together and it can get noisy quickly.

Create your own menu = enjoy it yourself 🧡🍽️ That's possible at Etenswaard – a stylish all-you-can-eat restaurant with small dishes and big flavors. From fresh sushi to spicy bites, and the icing on the cake: the barbecue where the chef passionately grills the tastiest steaks. 🔥🥩 For the little ones? The 3 P's: pancakes, fries, and pizza 🍕🍟🥞 For those with a sweet tooth? A delicious dessert corner full of temptations. 🍨🍰 The atmosphere? Warm and inviting. Cozy booths for two, but also lovely round tables for larger groups. Spacious, yet very atmospheric. ✨ An evening full of flavor, conviviality, and a wealth of choices. We will definitely be back!

Because we're currently at Center Parcs De Kempervennen and the food here is truly terrible, except for the grill restaurant, we went to Etenswaard. We had a wonderful meal! In the far north, where we come from, we have a similar world-class restaurant called Goud, which is our favorite. But if we ever go back to Kempervennen, we will definitely make a reservation here again.

Kangaroo is great. All the meat, by the way.

We've been coming here for years. We love eating here with the family from time to time. Lots of choices, something for everyone.

The food is not so tasty, the sushi has no flavor compared to other AYCE I have ever eaten. The grill is not separated between the seafood and the meat. There are not so many choices for the ice cream. Same with the drinks. I like the concept, but I think they are simply too small so the choices are limited. The service is very good and friendly so that deserves an extra star from me.

We felt bad for a few days because of the food. No cozy atmosphere, too noisy.

Delicious food, you can have many different kinds of things so there is something for everyone.

Large eatery Very busy Staff very impersonal

Delicious. Steak on the plate very well fried wok also delicious. Sushi nice and fresh. Dessert buffet lots of choice pancakes and crème brule is made on request

Supergoed restaurant All you can eat Poffertjes, pannenkoeken grill plaat Tiki plaat wok pizza Europees eten sushi en veel soorten ijs echte slagroom en ook nog softijs alles was perfect klaargemaakt en smaakte goed ziet er erg schoon uit goede service alles wat perfect bijgevuld als het op was vriendelijk personeel met de allergie geen probleem wordt uitgezocht

Always good food, too bad alcoholic drinks are separate. Hostess came regularly to see if there was anyone else in our already large group, while we had already indicated that these people were no longer coming. A bit of a shame about the suspicion.

Been here several times. This time really bad.... It started at the reception with our birthday daughter. Very unfriendly reception. Couldn't smile at anyone. Very disrespectful to a birthday child.. On the website it says "we provide a festive atmosphere" Seemed like we were checking in at the prison reception. Not even congratulations or a balloon for the child. So there was nothing festive about it.. Staff looks very sourly at everyone. Food not warm enough and not tasty. There was a lot of frozen food available. They won't see me for a long time, I'd rather go to the chip shop. There are also Chinese there but at least they smile.

Delicious unlimited food of good quality for a fixed price
