Restaurant Het Achterhuis in Wijk 00 Urk

The service was good. It was unusual that our table was served by three waiters. The waiters were very friendly and helpful. Once, a spoon was forgotten for dessert, and we were accidentally brought two beers instead of one. But all these misunderstandings were immediately resolved. They were also accommodating and flexible with our requests. The food was delicious and filling, though not exactly cheap. The portion of soup seemed a bit small to me. Our order was served within 15–20 minutes. The restaurant is cozy, and the view from the windows is beautiful.

Due to a wedding in another room, staff paid little attention. Left after a drink. Ate somewhere else.. Tourist prices...

Very large and spacious restaurant, many nice seats with a view over the water. It is a shame that the apple pie is served with whipped cream from a spray can; this could be improved. The taps in the toilet could also use a clean, as there is quite a bit of limescale on them... otherwise, good and friendly staff. Still, 4 stars....

Nice rooftop terrace and good portions.

Beautiful view. That is clearly included in the price. Food is fine but pricey.

Pleasant atmosphere, good food, with a view of the water, prices a bit higher.

I had a satay, my partner had plaice fillets. Just good.

Top service! We visited you with the wish ambulance for a cup of coffee! We enjoyed the view and the excellent service! A huge thumbs up to you! And your service! You are an example for many hospitality businesses!

Had a nice drink on the outdoor terrace, beautiful view over Urk and the IJsselmeer

Good food. Good, helpful staff. Apart from the weather, everything was more than well organized.

Great location, the lunch was disappointing. Had lunch there last Tuesday; the fillings were delicious but the bread rolls were terrible, stale, rock-hard, and dried out. For that price, it was truly awful. A shame.

The sea view is great, there's large parking nearby, and they're open on Sundays (when many other places in Urk are closed) — that's the positive side. Not so positive: the mixed fish & meat dish for two that we ordered was very small — not enough for me (an adult) and my teenage daughter. At 52 euros, it was really disappointing; there was enough food for one adult, not more. Worse still, the shrimp in the mix clearly wasn't fresh — it smelled bad, so we left it untouched. When the waiter asked "how was the food?" and I pointed this out, he just said "Oh, sorry to hear that," and that was the end of it :)

The food tasted good, it was just a shame that there was some kind of dressing on top of the lettuce; it was also in the bread because this dressing was thin and ran off.

Beautiful view of Urk and the IJsselmeer. Had a tasty fish salad. Staff very friendly. The only downside: ashtrays on the table that smell of cigarettes. I would remove them.

After 30 minutes without even receiving a menu, we left. You won't be getting our money that way.

We were on vacation and ate and drank something there. The chicken balls weren't cooked through properly and were still raw inside. It seems the kitchen didn't have anything else. The drinks were very small. For prices that have been raised, you can expect better. It's a shame, really.

Great location and good service. We had plaice and salmon. Both were delicious. We felt very comfortable here.

The food here is really top-notch, the service is also good, could sometimes be a bit better, but I am really critical in that regard. Otherwise, nice atmosphere with a beautiful view of the harbor.

Sad situation. Great atmosphere, nice view. Good service, friendly people. I could have made the food tastier at home with a blindfold on. 3/5

The price-quality ratio was not fantastic; it was quite expensive for the food you got. The service was good, though.

I always rate everything, the food is very good, the service fantastic, the atmosphere was worth it, the girls are very polite and friendly, the bar staff very attentive, they make a point of helping even if we don't speak the local language or English. For those concerned about the price, we were very happy. Thank you for your respect.

The entire terrace was a haze of smoke. Not pleasant when you're sitting there with children. I asked for the plaice fillet with potatoes on the side instead of fries and couscous. They made a fuss about it on all fronts; I could order them separately... what nonsense. You won't see me here again.

Good food, prompt service. The view is great.

We had lunch at 't Achterhuis today. The location, we sat on the terrace, was great. The service was likewise. The lunch tasted excellent, though the portion size was far too small for lunch, especially for the €21 we paid for it.

The food was fine. It is a real shame that when you are sitting on the terrace, about six staff members come and stand there smoking. The roof is closed, so all the smoke seems to hang in the air. As a result, you cannot enjoy your snack or drink.

Beautiful place to grab a bite to eat with a view over the IJsselmeer.

I visited Urk again today and this time made a short stop at Restaurant ’t Achterhuis. The view from the rooftop terrace is beautiful. You look out over the harbor, which was pleasantly busy and lively on this Whit Monday thanks to the lovely weather. However, the restaurant itself was a bit of a letdown. There were ashtrays on every table, and wherever you sit, you are right in the middle of the smoke. We arrived at 12:00, but it turned out there was no lunch menu available. We weren't the only ones who found this strange… The group next to us couldn't find anything on the menu either and called it a day after a drink. We ended up ordering some bar snacks. They were fine, but honestly, I had expected more from a restaurant in such a beautiful location in lovely Urk. As far as I'm concerned, it's not recommended.

What do we have... that is Ruud and Hans with the boat The Ruuf, Ruud a salmon omelette and Hans a ham and cheese omelette. Enjoyed the view and definitely worth a visit.

Nice and with a beautiful view, but most importantly, the food is very tasty.

A fantastic restaurant right on the harbor with a super relaxed atmosphere. The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was attentive and friendly. The view of the water is especially lovely – perfect for a relaxing end to the evening. You immediately feel welcome and will definitely want to come back. Highly recommended!

Peculiar welcome; someone called over his shoulder to find a table as he walked past. Limited choice on the menu and nothing special either. The goat cheese sandwich was very bland, and the fried egg dish was nothing extra other than two slices of bread with an egg. Everything looked simple and unimaginative. The price was very steep for what is offered in terms of hospitality, atmosphere, and quality.

Beautiful restaurant with a great view and good service

We've known this restaurant for almost 30 years. Unfortunately, the fish selection isn't as extensive as it used to be. The staff was very friendly.

We had a lovely time here after a walk on Urk. We also enjoyed our meal, but after our appetizer sandwich, we had to wait a very long time for our main course—about 30-40 minutes. We saw other guests who arrived after us and received their main course earlier. They also didn't ask in between if everything was to our liking. We wanted extra mayonnaise. We got the impression that we were being ignored. When the plates were cleared, we were asked if we had enjoyed our meal. We did mention that the main course was taking a long time. The explanation given was that they had forgotten to ask. Due to the busyness? That was a shame.

The seating area is lovely, with a view over Urk and the IJsselmeer. The food is delicious, the prices reasonable, and the service attentive and quick.

We had the 'Surprise Achterhuis'. It is a pity that everything came at once; the carpaccio and baguette were served at the same time as the prawns and beef pieces. The carpaccio was very cold, which ruined the taste. Suggestions for improvement were not appreciated. There was no question in between courses whether we wanted anything else to drink. The wait staff were not continuously visible. It is a shame, because we were certainly not used to that from the Achterhuis.

Had a nice cappuccino and enjoyed the view.

A really lovely place. Wonderful views of the harbor and the water. And a delicious "uitsmijter" (fried sandwich) with gluten-free bread for me. Highly recommended.

The view was beautiful! The price was a bit higher, though. The fish and chips (kibbeling) were missing from the menu. The snacks were a bit too crispy. I missed the waitress's help with a child seat. The restaurant smelled of cigarettes. However, the entrance was nice and the changing table was well-organized and child-friendly, with proper equipment.

Delicious food, friendly service. I recommend it.

Great food, a mix of meat and fish

Great view, friendly service. And delicious food. Excellent!

Nice location but poor customer service and unhelpful manager - we decided to leave before food arrived. Plenty of better places to choose from in this quaint and quirky little place - we had a fun day in Urk despite this disappointing restaurant : )

Excellent restaurant, wheelchair accessible entrance (elevator), very pleasant atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Outside, it was drab and dull, but inside it was very quiet and dark. The food wasn't great: a small, thin sole for €25. It could have been much better; I'll go to the fishmonger in URK next time.

Had a lovely lunch here, a beautiful location with a fantastic view of the harbor. The "hot smoked salmon" was unfortunately served straight from the refrigerator and (sorry to say) rather tasteless. I imagine a smoked salmon sandwich with beautifully sliced ​​salmon. This was a piece of salmon that should have been placed in large chunks on a sandwich. It's a shame, because the location is priceless.

Delicious lunch, plenty of choice. Pleasant service.

Great service and fantastic food.

Nice rooftop terrace in beautiful weather. It wasn't open, and what was open had people smoking. Ugh, we told them twice that we didn't want to sit in the smoke. We asked three times for a place to sit, but this part wasn't open yet. We really wanted to sit outside and were told to go inside. A big disappointment. The staff could have been friendlier. Partly because of this experience, I decided to just have coffee and not eat there, and I won't go back either.

Expensive for what it is... I recommend choosing the dish of the day. The fish was excellent. But for my friends, the schnitzel was simply frozen, and too expensive!

Gorgeous salad, beautiful view, fabulous service. My fella even paid the bill. What more could I ask. Perfect date.

It was nice to eat and drink coffee there again. Definitely on a rehearsal

Beautiful view The service was good, although our drink order was forgotten, so we received our food before our drinks...

Don't eat here. The food was from the freezer and cost €30. It was neither tasty nor filling. It was simply a complete disaster.

I had a lovely meal here. The staff was friendly and I didn't have to wait long for my food, which is always nice. It was a bit pricey, but that didn't spoil the fun because I enjoyed it. Greetings from Aunt Truus and Cornelis

The location of Achterhuis is really nice – right by the water with a great view, and free parking is also a plus. Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. The menu said “two plaice” for two people, but we were served only half a fish per person. The side dishes (fries and rice) were also served on just one plate for two guests, far too little. In the end, we received only half the amount of food but were charged the full/double price. Such a pity, because with this location and view we had expected a much better overall experience.

We had the special fresh mussels. Many were still closed or empty, and the mussels were very small. Otherwise, they were good, but very salty, which is a shame. Last year they were fantastic, but this year they were much worse.

Nice and large terrace inside and outside, good food, service was great

Beautiful terrace with a view. A canopy slides over it in case of rain.

We had a delicious lunch in Urk at 't Achterhuis overlooking the water. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

Ik heb gisteren in deze restaurant gegeten het eten was niet bijzonder ik had een trio visschotel. Maar het personeel is waardeloos we gingen ergens zitten werden we eerst gevraagd om ergens anders te zitten en vervolgens waren we nog niet klaar en ze wilde ons borden al weghalen en toen we klaar waren willen ze meteen weten of we een toetje wil aan het veelste gehaast personeel alsof ze geen zin had om te werken en liever naar huis wilde gaan

Very beautiful view of the sea!!!! Delicious food!!!

The coffee was nice. Unfortunately no menu was available and besides being asked what we wanted to drink, the service was non existent.

There were six of us, and only my meal was bad. The fish salad was a finely chopped mixed lettuce, grandma's style: two hard-boiled egg slices, slices of gherkin, tomato, surprisingly two black olives, and pink shrimp. This was all drizzled with a mayonnaise dressing. Three pieces of fish were on top, and after they were eaten, there was mayonnaise left with... brrr. Price? €22. The price-quality ratio is poor. The dishes are far too expensive for what they are served. Not recommended!

We ate a trio of fish (salmon, sole, pike-perch) and a pork tenderloin with a mushroom cream sauce (no mushrooms visible). It came with fries and canned or frozen vegetables. The food had no crunch or flavor. The price is far too high for this kind of food, despite the excellent service and the beautiful view. It's a good place for drinks, but not for a proper meal.

My Dutch friends bought me over to Urk on their boat and I insisted I was going to treat them to dinner so they made reservations for this place. There was plenty of room so we sat inside at a table overlooking the boat docking. The menu was in Dutch so I had my friend help me but I think I still didn't totally understand it all. They ordered fish and pork tenderloin and I ordered the very expensive surf and turf steak and gambas. I thought potatoes came with it and I asked if I could have potatoes that were not French fries. My friend got us a bottle of wine for the table and we ordered bottled waters as well. The steak was cooked medium rare as I requested, I should have asked for a steak knife as it was tough to cut with a regular table knife. I am used to having the kitchen slice a thick steak and present it on a board. French fries were put on the table and I remarked that I thought I was to get other potatoes so after a wait, a bowl of fried potato chunks was presented which isn't much different than French fries. Surrounding my steak was some measly mushy unappetizing vegetables and the gambas were in some sort of a sauce which I wish I could have known what it was as I got terribly ill on our walk back to the boat. My friends seemed satisfied with their choices but none of us were impressed with the food. We asked for 2 more waters which we never got. When paying there was a 5 euro charge for these extra potatoes I ordered and I guess I didn't understand when ordering we were getting French fries and these were an extra charge. They were late coming to the table and we really ate very little of them. My dinner was very expensive at 37.50 plus the extra 5 for the potatoes and I was not satisfied with any of it, the steak was not flavourful and hard to cut. I didn't eat much of it. The gambas sauce made me sick. This was a complete waste of money and we were sorry we came. There is nothing special about this place.

We had delicious mussels and scallops. These chefs know how to give each dish just the right amount of cooking and flavor. A real treat! Lovely rooftop terrace, and when it got chilly, moving inside was no problem!

Great restaurant. What a beautiful view over the sea you have there!! And such friendly staff. Owner who thinks along and goes the extra mile for you!

Had a great lunch, nice place, great view. Very friendly staff. Soup with salmon and prawns was delicious, uitsmijter carpaccio also tasty.

I think they didn't like that we were there just to have a drink. Were treated sullenly. Asked for ice cubes and got the answer "we don't have any ice!" I think that could have been said a bit nicer. And why doesn't a restaurant have ice cubes 😑

We had ordered potatoes instead of fries, but had to pay 5 euros for them afterwards, was not told, and was not returned. Very bad.

Found the presentation of the food very simple compared to the price. I had a salmon sandwich. The salmon was barely tasteable, simple paper container with dressing, and a container with salad. And that for a price of €16.50. My partner's fried egg was also poor in taste and presentation. Our son also fancied a fried egg. Only he could never finish a regular fried egg, so we asked for one egg. That was no problem, but he got it in a deep plate and it was very uncomfortable to eat. We will not eat anything here again.

Excellent rest. Easy to reach for my 94 year old mother.

Juicy prices, medium quality. Quite nice and well located. A paradise for convenience lovers...and the prices are far too high for that

Delicious food and also very nice that they have small portions.

Drinks had been had on the terrace Nice view and cozy Service was fast but also pushy Every 10 minutes we were asked if we wanted to order something or if everything was to our liking So after two drinks we left again

Location great… food flop Unfortunately we were totally blinded by the great location at the harbor… Restaurant ok, staff tried hard but the food wasn't good at all. Schnitzel with mushroom cream sauce for €24.50… you expect a bit. But what came was a flat frozen schnitzel... not juicy but dry with a sauce made from watery canned mushrooms. Plus a vegetable tossed in curry (with the schnitzel? - strange combination) Each schnitzel was served with fries, salad and mayo. There were four of us and we had a bowl of fries and a mini salad for everyone... to share? It wasn't intended that way, was it? So we definitely don’t recommend it!!!

Niet heel erg bijzonder. Zeer beperkte vegetarische opties. De gepofte aardappel was meer een in de schil gekookte aardappel dan echt gepoft en ook niet echt gaar (erg hard nog). Vissalade was prima, frietjes lekker. Denk dat ze erg gericht zijn op klanten die toch maar een keer komen en daardoor niet erg hun best doen.

Gewoon lekker restaurant waar alles klopt. Goede bediening, lekker eten zowel vis als ook vlees. Mooie tafel aan het raam.Komen graag terug.

The beautiful view of the IJsselmeer makes up for the mediocre food.

Very nice terrace... Get delicious cake and Café Verkeert... Recommended

Delicious food, perfect staff and a beautiful view of the harbor of Urk.

Menu has little choice and I am forced to take a combination deal per person, very expensive!! Salmon was tasty and steak tips, but the prawns were not fresh, they came from the freezer and were very hard. The dessert was a Dam Blance, but I found it easily on a plate, which I could also make at home. It was not a second time for me. I found it very disappointing and the prices were too high. Little variety.

Een mooie locatie en wij hebben heerlijk gegeten. Leuke, vlotte bediening en je zit heerlijk op je gemak! Echt een aanrader!

We spent a weekend in Urk together and ate here. We had a trio of meat with chateaubriand, chicken and pork tenderloin for 2 people. Food was great, very tasty and more than enough. The meat platter was presented very nicely. Even though it was very busy with 2 other parties, the service was very friendly and fast. Definitely recommended and would love to come back!

Delicious food. Nice location and friendly service!

Nice restaurant with friendly staff, beautiful view and tasty food. Highly recommended!

Delicious, fast and beautiful restaurant

Tourist spot with unimaginative measured dishes. No crack or taste. Therefore too expensive for what you get. Service very friendly and nice view.

Delicious food, had a menu with soup beforehand. Salmon as a dish and a creme brulee for dessert. Add salad, fries, and broccoli. Was fine just a little lacking in vegetables.

We had a delicious meal with a beautiful view. And for a good price

I'll definitely be back. Pleasant staff and good food. Free parking.

Duur en dan krijg je tomatensoep uit blik met ballen uit blik. Brood slecht en karig ! Geen aanrader zonde van je geld. Enige positieve is de locatie

Price=quality, rich interier, cozy atmosphere

Very tasty food, the fish was delicious. Friendly service

Kopje heet water met een smaakje (thee) € 3.30 Kopje koffie € 3.30 Broodje beenham € 12.50 Uitsmijter ham-kaas € 12.50 Natuurlijk kun je de kaart bekijken en wel of niet bestellen. Eigen keuze. Nooit meer alle andere leuke tentjes voorbij lopen om vervolgens te worden uitgekleed. Ja, ik weet het: Je doet het zelf maar het mag wel wat minder voor de kwaliteit want echt bijzonder is het zeker niet. Een snackbar is zeker net zo goed. Op de rekening staat onderaan: "Bedankt voor uw bezoek" Dat snap ik maar wij komen daar nooit meer.

Delicious lunch during Urk in winter atmosphere. Smooth service and good food.

Excellent location, fast service, satisfying food, reasonably priced.

Ordered from the lunch menu; Bouncer Achterhuis and 12 O'Clock. The stew (bouncer) did not really match the flavor of the bouncer. Already lubricated between them. But maybe this is a regional dish? The 12 Hour had tomato soup, but it seemed like it came straight from the can. Much too thick a layer of butter on the bread. Quite pricey, not really worth repeating.

A cozy restaurant with a view of the IJsselmeer and the harbor entrance to Urk.
