Restaurant Etenswaard in Wijk 00 Valkenswaard

Cozy and clean location. There is a huge selection of food and drinks. A lot is freshly prepared and the staff ensures everything stays tidy. It is also not excessively noisy. Highly recommended!

Last Friday, we went there for dinner around 7:00 PM. The food was cold, and the selection was limited as well, because nothing was being refilled. They will never see me there again! And I will share my experience with my circle of friends and acquaintances. Because we paid enough for it.

The staff was unfriendly. The food was okay, but not for the price/quality ratio. It looks nice, but it was literally a food factory. It was fun for a one-time visit, but not again.

Just a simple all-you-can-eat place with a cozy atmosphere. The food is good and the children have a nice play area. The staff is very friendly and the owner is very nice and friendly. We enjoy coming here when we want to eat as a family with young children. Plenty of choice for starters, main courses, and desserts. Parking is paid right outside but not very expensive. If you pay for 2 hours, they won't be breathing down your neck after 2 hours telling you to leave.

The food is good and you have a lot of choice.

If the price were a bit lower, we would go more often.

As far as an all-you-can-eat concept goes, Etenswaard is certainly one of the better ones (in North Brabant): good atmosphere, clear layout, and spacious design. The only downside (just like all all-you-can-eat places) is the limited number of restrooms for the size of the restaurant.

Much of the meat was either tough, too spicy, or bland. There was a huge amount of sushi, though, only with a massive amount of rice and bites that were too big. The desserts were great.

Excellent food, well organized.

A real international restaurant. Very clean and atmospheric. The food was well-organized and the selection was huge.

The food was delicious again! We had a good meal there again!

The food was tasty, especially the cold starters. The wok had no taste, perhaps because it is pre-cooked in hot water first and no extra spices are added. The staff couldn't manage a smile or a friendly word. We had paid for 3 hours, so until 9:45 PM, but we left around 9:15 PM because we were literally being stared out. It's a shame, because the atmosphere there used to be nice.

Delicious food and plenty of choice, nice and friendly service

Some staff members are very friendly, others are very surly.

Very uninterested staff, especially behind the food preparation counters.

We ate here with a group of 8 people. Due to an event, we couldn't really park nearby, so we had to walk a bit. The entrance fee was fine; you pay a fixed amount, and for children up to and including 12, you pay per year of age. The buffet isn't huge, but the quality of the food is good and fresh. From vegetables to wok dishes to griddle, there is something for everyone. In terms of atmosphere, it wasn't quite top-notch; it's quite dark inside, and since you are in an all-you-can-eat place, everyone is walking around. The wait staff came to clear the plates quickly, but they just went about their work without a smile. Some seemed like robots, at the griddle for example. We had a 2-hour package, and that was sufficient.

We'd made a reservation by phone in advance, but apparently, there was no record of it anywhere. Fortunately, there was still a spot available, and the group wasn't very large. Our visit wasn't our first time here. We like it here; it's a cozy place to dine, with spacious and cool seating. The food is delicious, diverse, and there's plenty of choice. The staff is friendly, not super friendly, but it was okay. There's also ample parking nearby. We'll definitely be back.

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.

The price-quality ratio is good.

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.

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

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

Received the requested round table, very nice

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 😉

A pleasant place to stay. Good place to eat.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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!

Simply top-notch, really tasty and cozy.

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

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).

Very pleasant, great service. Highly recommended!!

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.

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.
