Restaurant Lindetuin in Centrum

Had a tasty meal, lots of choices, not too busy, friendly staff

We celebrated our company's 25th anniversary here and can only say: FANTASTIC 👍👍👍👍

It's just not quite there, so to speak.

Very disappointed, it takes a really long time to get your food and order something again. We only ate 6 small dishes in 3 hours. Had to wait almost 20 minutes for a drink after ordering. Steak was very dry! You won't see me back here again, very unfortunate, although the location is very beautiful.

Beautiful location, delicious food, and a super fun concept!

Beautiful and cozy restaurant with the tastiest Scrappinos

I found the food very tasty; it was prepared quickly and served immediately. The food was also always warm. I just couldn't hear the music very well.

We had a delicious meal here. We were seated in the large hall with 2 other groups, totaling about 50 people, so it was a bit noisy. There is also a restaurant section where it is quieter. Ideal concept: order small bites from the menu, eat them, and then order the next ones. Fixed price, only drinks are extra.

Had a delicious meal! Prompt and friendly service. Highly recommended.

For a tapas restaurant, the portions are a bit on the large side. But the variety and taste don't make it any less enjoyable. It is certainly worth going there for a meal.

We received such exceptionally good service! We had limited time and this was taken into account very well! The food came out quickly and they really paid attention to us! Thank you so, so much 👌 The concept is also very nice; it is an "all you can eat" concept, but with really good dishes, atmosphere, and without feeling like you are in a food factory.

A really nice location, beautifully decorated, and the staff is very friendly. Definitely recommended!!

Good service, and tasty, varied dishes.

We had a very good and delicious meal.

Delicious dishes, unfortunately couldn't reach 6 stars. Fast, good service and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

We were there with a group of 14 people. The food is delicious, they came quickly to take our new order, friendly service, I would go there again in a heartbeat. I completely disagree with the negative reviews.

They managed to reveal the taste of the dish in small portions! Great service, friendly staff.

All you can eat takes forever to get your food, and when you’ve been sitting there for 2.5 hours and have just had your second mini dishes, the enthusiasm and atmosphere are nowhere to be found, and if you call the staff out on it they even feel offended, a big fat no-go

Very beautiful restaurant and delicious food, friendly staff

We had a delicious meal here; there was a wide selection and all the dishes were very tasty. The service was truly top-notch, very friendly and welcoming. The dishes arrived quickly and we had plenty of time to order whenever we were ready. It also looks beautiful; a very atmospheric and unique place in Alkmaar.

Looking for a restaurant with a nice atmosphere and good food? Then you've come to the right place! The flavors are excellent, the dishes are beautiful, and the time between meals was perfect for us. And what's more, the staff are very friendly and know their stuff. A very successful evening!

I was here a while ago with a group of colleagues. The price was supposed to be attractive, but what this restaurant is doing is pure fraud. They offer an "all you can eat" package, but this isn't the case because it should actually be "all you can order." Let me explain what I mean: - After entering, we were seated at a long table, and then it took more than 45 minutes before we got our first bite. You only get one bite at a time, and the next round of orders only comes after the whole group has finished their plates... (!!!) The waitstaff consisted of only one person, and with this tactic, it takes forever before you can order anything. Well, this approach has nothing to do with "all you can eat," because the deliberately created "intervals" and wait times make it impossible for you to eat what you're craving. Conclusion: We'll be avoiding this place from now on! The food was...

It's a really nice and delicious meal here. The service is very friendly, and the food arrives quickly. One minor complaint is that the food isn't particularly special. It's tasty, but not exceptional.

The service is very friendly and pleasant. The building is beautiful from the outside, but inside, my face was at eye level with a very dusty and dirty windowsill, which made dining less pleasant. There is no noise pollution, although there may be children present, and of course, the accompanying noise.

We had a wonderful evening with family today (Boxing Day) and a delicious meal! The staff were fantastic and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. The restaurant's building itself is an experience in itself. It's an all-you-can-eat concept, but we didn't experience it at all like most all-you-can-eat restaurants. See you next time!

Had a delicious meal, highly recommended.

This isn't all you can eat, but ALL we will serve, one dish at a time. After the first dish, the serving time increases drastically... so ultimately, you can only order a very limited amount... that's a nice profit... what a scam!

There is a lot of noise in the restaurant.

Delicious food, great service. Fast service, generous portions. Value for money.

A truly amazing experience! Highly recommended!

A cozy restaurant housed in a beautiful building that once served as a shooting guild. The service is very friendly. The all-you-can-eat concept is a bit different. You can choose one dish at a time from each course—starter, main course, and dessert. The food was delicious.

Cozy atmosphere, tasty dishes and smooth friendly service.

Every time delicious and the service is always top notch!

Had a great evening, nice atmosphere, delicious food and very nice service!

We ate here tonight. It's a nice all-you-can-eat concept, but several people in our group left unsatisfied (read: hungry). We spent four hours here, and the goal of 20 minutes per course was nowhere near being met (more like 30-45 minutes). The food wasn't very tasty; unfortunately, the carpaccio from the supermarket is more flavorful. The building is beautiful (acoustics a bit poor) and the staff are friendly!

We ate here after a day trip to Alkmaar. I wouldn't recommend it. The atmosphere is quite pleasant and the staff are friendly. The food really wasn't anything special. You can choose one dish per round, and the portions were quite large. Because of this, we didn't get to try as much as we initially wanted. We didn't find the food special; it was rather bland/tasteless. There was no salt or pepper on the table. There was no pregnancy card or option to accommodate pregnancy. So I chose suitable dishes myself. They advertise that you leave a good Google review, after which you get a free cup of coffee or tea. I think that's why the reviews are a bit higher than they actually are. I don't want to completely dismiss the restaurant, but I certainly wouldn't go there again.

I went here spontaneously yesterday. The food was absolutely delicious. Lots of different flavors, so there's something for everyone. If you're a big eater like me, it can be a bit frustrating because the portions go quickly and it can take a while for another round. The price-quality ratio is excellent. The service, however, is excellent! Charron, thank you for your kindness and great service. We felt welcome and served quickly. See you next time ;)

We had a wonderful meal in a unique setting. Very atmospheric. Friendly service. We'll definitely be back.

Had a nice dinner with lots of meal choices! Friendly service as well!

Great service, good quality food and the atmosphere was cozy

Delicious food! A great concept, of course, with all those little snacks, so you'll come home completely satisfied.

The worst food I have ever eaten in a restaurant. The decor is wonderful but the food is terrible! Also, the dishes aren't served at the same time, so you can be sitting with nothing whilst your companion is eating. We complained about the food after the first course and asked to speak to the manager. Her answer was "we have 45 dishes on the menu". I don't know what that was supposed to mean. We didn't get any apology or recompense. Dreadful!!

Highly recommended! I had a wonderful meal here with my parents tonight. The food was phenomenal, everything much more luxurious and delicious than expected considering the price range, and the service was fantastic. We'll definitely be back!

Beautiful location, one choice per round. Excellent food.

Good food, but very slow service. At first, it took 20 minutes per round, and then often 30 minutes. The last hour was even slower. The long wait after each round was annoying. After more than four hours, we were finally full, just in time, as the kitchen closed at 9:45 PM. I would have liked four more rounds. Unfortunately, not worth the money. I wouldn't recommend it.

We'd go back just for the fantastic service. Palli, you're the best!

Always delicious food here with lots of variety. Friendly and hospitable staff. Nothing is too much trouble.

Lovely atmosphere. For an all-you-can-eat concept, drinks are extra. The dishes are really good quality and beautifully presented. They're not too big, so you can try several. Highly recommended. For this concept, it's the best I've ever had.

The waitress who served us was very pleasant and knew her trade. But for a restaurant that prides itself on high-quality dishes, the kitchen still needs a lot of improvement. The steak dish contained far too little meat, the chicken satay was a bit tough, the pizza had so much cheese it tasted like a grilled cheese sandwich, and the steak was cold/lukewarm and well-done when we requested rare. It's a shame, because for a few tens of euros more, I could have eaten at a good restaurant.

Excellent food, beautifully presented. The portions were quite generous, allowing for frequent ordering. Good service, pleasant atmosphere.

Restaurant De Lindetuin – Excellent quality and service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We dined here on a whim, looking for a new all-you-can-eat experience. And what a pleasant surprise! At De Lindetuin, you order one dish at a time per person – just right. Portions are not too big or too small, beautifully presented plates with stylish garnishes. Everything is delicious and of excellent quality. No "fake steak" like at some large all-you-can-eat restaurants, but genuinely good meat and fresh ingredients. The service was excellent. Despite the crowds, two young, efficient waitresses ensured everything ran smoothly. The tip was more than deserved. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates quality and a pleasant atmosphere!

The food was incredibly delicious, and the service was very friendly. Generous portions. They're quick to take your order if you want to order again. Definitely recommended!

We have eaten here before and are familiar with the concept. Unfortunately had a very bad experience tonight. We had to wait a long time (1.5 hours) between the first and second dish. An apology was offered by the wait staff. Unfortunately, things went wrong again. Tablemates had already finished for a long time and after more than 30 minutes still nothing, etc. There was only 1 person taking orders. The reason given was that it was very busy tonight, so staff could not keep an eye on everything. In other words: making money is more important than giving the customer a fun and enjoyable evening. Unfortunately a bad experience.

De bediening was erg vriendelijk, maar het eten was erg slecht. Het ging al fout bij het reserveren. Ik reserveerde via hun website, kreeg ook nog een mail om het te bevestigen en dat deed ik ook. Toen we daar aankwamen zeiden ze dat we het fout hadden gedaan terwijl ik wel de bevestiging had. Echter hadden ze nog wel ergens een krap plekje. Bediening was erg vriendelijk, alleen stonden ze met zijn tweeën, terwijl het erg druk was. Daardoor moesten we erg lang wachten. De vleesgerechten waren taai en smakeloos. De zalm was heel droog en erg karig. Er zat nauwelijks saus en smaak bij. De biefstukpuntjes waren erg taai. De garnalencocktail was erg slecht van kwaliteit. Het leek alsof ze garnalen uit een tapasbakje van de supermarkt vandaan hadden gehaald, er zat ook nauwelijks saus bij. Alleen de pasta's waren erg lekker. Ik zou er niet nog een keer heen gaan.

It was my mother's birthday, and we organized a surprise party for her. We had a wonderful evening! The staff was great, and the food was excellent. I called back later because I accidentally left too little of a tip—€5 instead of €15—and even then they remained friendly. I would definitely come back (and tip properly next time). Thanks again for everything!!!

Absolutely lovely restaurant! Enjoyed ourselves to almost everything on the menu! It was a wonderful evening of explosive high quality tastes and good times! Do recommend👌🏼

Lovely location to have a drink in the garden.

Nice place to sit, the service is friendly and good! The food could be better. We had a few dishes: the beef steak was good, but prepared differently three times. I think the devil's prawns would have been better served in oil instead of vegetables. The salmon was a bit overcooked. The duck (broschette de canard): make sure the fat on the duck leg is cooked through, then it's perfect... this time it was okay. The scallop was good! Just one piece. The shrimp cocktail was prawns, not shrimp, not what you expect from a shrimp cocktail. Overall, the food was good/good, but not great. There's definitely room for improvement, but I hope the restaurant can address this. Again, the service was good and prompt!

This is really one of the better all you can eat places. It s like "all you can eat but make it a bit classy" . The food quality is great, the plating is also lovely and besides some dishes which are probably there for picky eaters and to save some euros, most were really nice! The dish i liked the most was the goat cheese and beet "tartar". On top of that, what i was really surprised by was actually the rucola: I've never had such flavourful and delicious rucola lol. I wish I asked where they got it from.

A fun concept where you can order everything on the menu in miniature, one after the other. Less suitable for intimate dinners, as you'll be more likely to be interrupted by waiters and waitresses, but definitely enjoyable for a relaxed experience. The food was fine; don't expect culinary masterpieces, but it was simply good.

We had a wonderful meal for six people, taking it easy and choosing what we wanted, and everything tasted great. It's worth it, and I'd love to come back. The service is super friendly, and the entrance, which runs alongside the kitchen, is a nice welcome feature. Don't expect a "sliding" restaurant like most all-you-can-eat restaurants; here you can sit back and enjoy your meal without being pushed out after two hours.

Mijn ex had dit restaurant aanbevolen, ik denk dat hij me nog steeds haat omdat ik het heb uitgemaakt... Buiten heeft het een mooi aanzicht en het personeel is vriendelijk. Dat is ook het enige positieve.... Het eten was alles behalve lekker. Elk gerecht was weer een teleurstelling. Overigens was het een snikhete dag en binnen was er niks te vinden qua ventilatoren of verkoeling. De hele zaal zat vol en het was me toch een herrie! Al zou ik hier gratis mogen eten dan zou ik nog niet terug gaan.

The staff was very friendly, but every dish was a disappointment. Even if I could eat there for free, I wouldn't go there again.

Op de website beloven ze je luxe gerechten maar vandaag was ons eten alles behalve luxe. De helft was koud en overgaar of droog. Heel spijtig dat we het beloofde niet gekregen hebben voor deze prijs .

Bad experience. The setting is beautiful. The acoustics are terrible. It is difficult to understand each other. The food is ok. The problem is the speed of the follow-up of the tiny mini dishes. Since you are only allowed to order when you have neatly finished your plate and then you have to wait at least 20 minutes for the next tiny mini dish, it all takes far too long. And if you are then short on time because there is more than a suuuuperlong dinner, you almost have to beg if you can please order 2 dishes. So all in all, you paid the main price for an unsatisfied feeling. I was just not hungry anymore and I am really not a big eater. All in all, I think I can eat half a plate at most. Seems like a nice way to make money. Giving your guests the idea that it is all you can eat, but that does not work according to the rules they have set. The staff is friendly, that is why I gave it 2 stars.

Delicious food, perfect service, recommended if you are or live in Alkmaar!

Great restaurant, quality is very good for its price

Delicious food, very diverse. For the reviewers who leave comments about the food, it would be better to share them with the staff, so that they can learn from the constructive criticism. We had a great evening and will definitely come back. Hats off to the staff. Top.

Sinds bestaan Lindetuin kwamen wij met zekere regelmaat. Bediening was ene keer beter dan andere, maar eten was altijd erg lekker en daar kwamen we voor. Deze (laatste) keer was klap in gezicht: kreeftensaus bij pasta nog wateriger aftreksel dan de soep, garnalencocktail nog half bevroren diepvriesgarnaal met blaadje sla en drup cocktailsaus uit fles, ga zo maar door. Kwaliteit van het eten was echt deceptie. We gaan pas terug als we horen/lezen dat er weer iemand achter de pannen staat met hart voor de zaak.

Really great place. The four of us had a delicious meal. Just enough space between the dishes. Super friendly waitress. All dishes, without exception, taste fantastic. Will definitely come back. This was the fourth time, chapeau 🥂 Hans and Carin de-bankenfabriek

Nice concept, delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere.

Just do it. You will be surprised by the choice, quality and money!

Extremely disgusting food. You can taste that the business model is cheap meat. Also, there is no care for the taste experience because there are no herbs or a little sauce. With the exception of the balsamic vinegar from Lidl that is impossible to get rid of and extremely sour

We had a delicious meal and will definitely come back when we are in Alkmaar again:)

Lovely evening and great food! Lots of choice of delicious dishes, highly recommended. Quickly helped and friendly staff. Highly recommended!!! Igor is a great host!

I can say that for my first experience at Lindetuin; the atmosphere is nice, warm and friendly. Everyone from the kitchen staff to the waiters are very friendly and attentive. The concept works flawlessly. All the food is fresh and delicious. I recommend it for a nice few hours and a delicious meal.

Had a super fun evening at the Lindetuin. Nice and tasty dishes. Very smooth service by a super friendly host Igor. This man deserves a raise! Recommended.

Nice service! Had a super fun evening! Thank you Sharon for the good service and pleasant evening

Still enjoying the delicious food (fantastic concept) and the wonderful hostess Sharon. No need to wait at all for the next dish, the restaurant was full. This team works well together! With Coen in the kitchen, preparing one delicious dish after another together with his colleagues. We were here for the first time and will definitely come back. This restaurant is highly recommended, located in one of the most beautiful monumental buildings in Alkmaar. Team Lindetuin, thank you for your hospitality and experience!

Delicious food and dessert is highly recommended!

Had a nice meal with friends, excellent service and a good atmosphere. We'll come back again.

Super tasty food with a lovely atmosphere! No complaints about the quality and service. We were very happy! Our host Igor was really nice, fast and hospitable. Thank you for making our evening!

Absolutely wonderful! Delicious food, good atmosphere and Igor our waiter was super friendly 🤗

Cozy place, good service. Nice and friendly people. Delicious food. Had a really enjoyable evening with delicious snacks and drinks.

It was a wonderful evening. Fun with the family. The atmosphere is quiet, cozy and certainly not too busy. Compact space that still gives a homely atmosphere. Very warm indeed. The chairs are not exactly made for long legs. The service is also great.

Last night we had a delicious meal with a friend at this restaurant. We ended up lasting more than 3 hours and were able to taste many of the dishes. The Lindeburger was my personal favorite :) The dishes were served very quickly and when it was finished, we were able to order something new almost immediately. Really class service!! The service was really friendly and every now and then had time for a short chat. At the end we were given a short tour of the entire restaurant; very nice! We had a spot at the bar; I personally think that this helped us even faster and in terms of atmosphere, etc. it was also a great place. The only minor downside was the steak, which was unfortunately tough and not tasty; but fortunately there were plenty of other dishes that more than made up for it! Highly recommended for a delicious meal!

Huisvesting in mooi pand maar met zeer slechte akoestiek. Veel keuze in gerechtjes, maar de kwaliteit is abominabel. Drooggekookt stoofpotje, droog satehtje met zurige saus, hier en daar gebrek aan smaak of zout, risotto, pasta, biefstuk en nachos karig in kwaliteit en smaak, enz. Bediening vriendelijk totdat er gesnauwd werd dat ingeleverd bestek niet meer aangeboden wordt. "Ik blijf niet an de gang". Geen aanrader.

Tasty food and nice waitresses. Lots of choice and a tasty menu!! And I enjoyed it very much and I think it is a very beautiful restaurant, it seems like I am in a fairy tale! -kdv

Had a nice evening. Very hospitable. Igor helped us very well!

Beautiful surroundings. Nice meal. Nice concept. A few minor flaws. Friendly and fast service.

Enjoyable meal! The service was very fast and friendly, the dishes were all delicious for a great price. Definitely recommended!

Had a lovely dinner on a Friday evening. The five of us enjoyed 23 different dishes, of which the favorites were of course ordered several times. Service was smooth, friendly and attentive.

The service here is really great, you are treated great, they are friendly and they come to help you quickly. The food also looks delicious, I was completely full of it. Furthermore, it also tastes good and I am very satisfied. Salt and pepper are not necessary at all, the dishes already have a lot of flavor. It can sometimes be very busy, but that is because it is a nice restaurant. Top quality

All snacks are absolutely delicious! Super nice staff and a nice tent! We will definitely go here more often👌🏼

De bediening hier is echt tof, je wordt er geweldig behandelt, zijn vriendelijk en komen je snel helpen. Het eten ziet er ook verrukkelijk uit, zat helemaal vol ervan. Verder smaakt het ook goed en ben ik erg tevreden. Top kwaliteit Peper en zout helemaal niet nodig, de gerechten hebben al zelf veel smaak.

Great place, all you can eat concept is not too compelling, but does give some 'pressure'. Food is fine, cold shrimp may be a bit tasteless, hot dishes are fine. Service smooth and appropriate. Tip: salt and pepper on the table.

Delicious food, friendly and attentive service.

First time I have visited an all you can eat and not been able to eat enough. The portions are very small. The time between 2 different portions sometimes increases to 45 minutes. So after 3.5 hours I only had 7 small portions. Steak was of poor quality. A beautiful building that used to house the Alkmaar militia. Poor acoustics so you can hardly hear each other.

Delicious food!!! One of our children is a picky eater, but several requests (dishes without sauce/pizza with only cheese) were made for him without any problems. We have never seen him eat so well in a restaurant. We also thought the food was very tasty and the service was great! We will definitely come back here again!
