Restaurant Proeflokaal Sneek in Wijk 01 Sneek

Unfortunately, my experience in this restaurant was anything but positive. The service was slow and disinterested, and the food was cold and tasteless. The portions were small and the presentation left a lot to be desired. All in all a disappointing experience and I will definitely not be returning here.

Delicious food at the Tasting Room! Because one of us has celiac disease, I had reported this in advance. Upon arrival, there was a note ready with the sandwiches she could eat. That gave me confidence and allowed me to relax and enjoy myself. The concept of choosing several small sandwiches for a fixed amount works well. It gives the opportunity to try different combinations. All of which were very tasty. The price-quality ratio is okay. The service is friendly and takes dietary requirements into account. We will definitely come back here. This restaurant is highly recommended, also for people with food intolerances.

Greetje en ik hebben hier gegeten ter gelegenheid van onze 45 jarig huwelijk. Hier werd ook aandacht aan besteed wat wij erg gewaardeerd hebben. Dit geeft aan dat zij ook aandacht hebben bij de reservering

We ordered a High Wine package. Delicious food and delicious wine with dinner.

Worldly tapas. Tasting room is a correct name. Nice to have a nice evening with friends. Not high quality but well prepared

Een goede sfeer en de bediening was super geschikt . Zeker een aanrader. We hebben eeen superleuke avond gehad. Voor herhaling vatbaar

The lunch menu sounds more exciting than it was. The food was delicious, but it was actually just sandwiches. A bit too frugal with toppings and accompanying sauces for me. For example, the cod could have used more sauce, the beetroot sandwich could have had more goat cheese spread and the tuna mayo in the vitello sandwich was also minimal. I expected more, but it was quite good for the price-quality ratio.

Heerlijk gegeten met mijn dochter gister. Hou van dit concept zo kun je van alles wat proeven,sfeervolle ambiance vriendelijk personeel.

Gisteren met 2 stellen gaan dineren bij dit restaurant, bediening is tóp, dranken prima, desert heerlijk, maar de tussentijdse gerechten m.u.v. de saté, niet heel best eigenlijk slecht. ( snitzel en hamburger gort droog ). 2 jaar geleden ook geweest, toen was het ook niet best, vorig jaar na overleg weer geweest, toen écht écht waar, erg goed. Helaas nu erg matig qua gerechten.

1ste kerstdag hadden we gereserveerd voor 6 personen. Helaas werd dit een zware teleurstelling. Om 19 uur waren we aanwezig en begonnen met drankje en broodplank. De 1ste rondje duurde even maar kwam....daarna kwam er helemaal niets meer, het was wachten,wachten en nog eens wachten. Tot we gingen vragen,kregen vaag iets te horen over storing,maar ze zouden zorgen dat we onze gerechtjes zouden krijgen. Nou na weer een half uur wachten waren we er klaar mee. Het was ondertussen 21:30 en hadden nog maar 1 ronde gehad. We zijn naar beneden gegaan en hebben gemeld dat wij er klaar mee waren en weg gingen. Hebben alleen de 1ste drankjes betaald en zijn weg gegaan. Dit was dus een teleurstellende avond geworden. Denkt lekker uit rten te gaan maar eindigd uiteindelijk bij de snackbar. Nooit weer!!

Unlike previous dinners here, this time it was genuinely very bad. The food was always lukewarm and took a very long time. Ordering drinks took forever. Indicated to the waiter that we could not eat everything because it was often cold when served. Wasn't even responded to. The last time for us. Too bad, it was always a nice tent!

Supersfeervolle lokatie met geweldig gemotiveerde, attente, jonge mensen en heerlijke gerechtjes. De temperatuur en verlichting werden gechecked en eventueel naar wens aangepast. Toen de bediening na het dessert per ongeluk hoorde dat onze komst ter gelegenheid van een verjaardag was, kwamen ze nog zingen met vuurwerk. Geweldige avond gehad!

We enjoyed all the dishes here and the very friendly staff.

It was not busy, although it still took a long time before the service came to pick up the menu, some of the dishes were lukewarm, the room was nicely decorated but cold in terms of temperature.

Last Thursday evening we planned a dinner here with the staff. Unfortunately a big disappointment. The seating arrangement in the room was so tight that the waiter could not reach one side of the tables, we had to keep passing the edges and glasses, we sat in front of the entrance, so that the door to the hallway could barely open. The food was downright bad except for the desserts. A meager bread board with a small piece of bread for everyone with some simple spreads and a tomato salsa. The wait for the main menu was almost an hour. Small snacks that were partly lukewarm or cold, bread with onion and mushroom, tasteless meat, the vegetarian recipes were not great either. Partly underserved, for which we received a free drink that was paid for at the cash register. With a surprise menu you also expect to be told what you are being served...now it was everyone's guess. We all went crazy for dessert, because we had left some of the rest of the food, except for the fries, which were tasty. It's nice that you took allergies into account. As a tip, for a large group, choose 1 or 2 people for the service, so that communication can go smoothly. Take a critical look at your surprise menu. You can certainly make something nicer out of this for the fairly high amount you pay for it.

So many positive reviews. Well, I really don't understand that. Heavy, heavy, substandard. How terribly bad. Firstly, it is much too cold in the covered “outdoor garden”. There was a draft on all sides and the patio heater that is normally outside could not make things much better inside. Dinner is in a tapas form. The menu is not really extensive, but if the dishes are good and tasty, that is not a problem. Good and tasty, well anything but that. Besides the fact that the dishes are very small, the quality is poor. Two fried shrimp were like a sponge full of oil. The sauce of the babi pangang was completely tasteless, the butter chicken was a bowl full of juice without even a piece of chicken. And let me not say anything about the pork tenderloin. Was there anything positive? Yes indeed. The sweet potato fries were tasty. But you won't come back just for that. It was also noticeable that collecting the order cards took a very long time. All cards in the entire room were standing up to be collected for the next round, but this was “deliberately” ignored by the staff. We skipped the last round, dessert. It took us way too long. In short, a big disappointment.

Met mijn collega’s een high tea bij het proeflokaal gehad. Het was in heerlijk. Diverse soorten thee en heerlijk broodjes, taartjes. Genoten!

We hebben via de Walrus een zaal gehuurd. Dit werd op het laatste moment omgeboekt naar het Proeflokaal. Ik raad het af om hier een zaal te huren of bij de Walrus. Ze gaan niet professioneel met je om.De zaal was hier veel te klein. Alles stond nog niet klaar op het afgesproken tijdstip en de afspraken rondom broodjes en en materialen zoals flip-overs waren niet beschikbaar. De luxe broodjes waren kleine kaiserbroodjes ham en kaas.De zaal moest worden omgebouwd en geluid moest nog aangesloten worden. Onze gasten moesten een half uur wachten voordat we konden beginnen. Tussentijds werd er niet gecheckt of zaken op waren en of er nog kon worden afgeruimd. Communicatie was zeer slecht/ was er niet. Al met al zeer ontevreden over Proeflokaal en de Walrus!

Strange tent. Food and drinks are excellent (although the soup could be better), but chairs and benches here are a challenge for every back and buttocks. And the fact that a reserved room has no doors, which gives free rein to background noise, is a failure.

Geen uitleg, tafel werd niet afgeruimd, witte rum in tiramisu ( er waren kinderen bij) zonder dit te vermelden. Geen borden bij dessert. Verschillende mensen ( kinderen) die de tafel bedienden, zonder onderlinge communicatie. Erg rommelig. Wat een gezellige avond moest worden, werd helaas een deceptie.

Outdoor and indoor seating - beautiful winter garden (covered courtyard) good value for money - lunch: 3 or 4 dishes at a fixed price, dinner: food at a fixed price - drinks extra

Mooie plek met karakter. We zaten in de serre. Vriendelijke bediening. Drankjes prima. Wij kozen de 4 minigerechten voor 18, 25. Bij de tafels om ons heen zagen deze hapjes er goed uit. Toen we de 3 broodjes kregen vielen ze wel wat tegen. Karig belegd zonder iets extra erbij. De gepofte biet was alles wat er op het kaiserbroodje zat, geen ander zichtbaar beleg. Ook proefde ik de vis aan de biet, dat was jammer. Wellicht met een mes gesneden waar ook vis is gesneden? De andere broodjes waren ook karig belegd, zeker vergeleken met wat anderen om ons heen kregen. Iets meer aandacht zou zeker goed doen.

On the left on the corner with Peperstraat is the former courthouse, now the restaurant ''Proeflokaal Sneek''. Judiciary was held here from 1838 to 1877 and was the subdistrict court until 2013. The imposing building was designed by P.J. Rollema . The saying on the building ''ius suum cuique'' (to each his own) is a reminder of the old function. There is a snack bar in the other corner. The Sneek weigh house stood here until 1945, where butter and cheese were traded. During the Second World War it was used by the German occupiers as an ammunition storage facility. On the last day of the occupation, on April 15, 1945, the weighing house was unfortunately set on fire by departing German soldiers. It was not until 1985 that the current building was built in a modern style, incorporating features of the old weighing house.

Delicious food, informal atmosphere, nice location and the service is very friendly and hospitable!

We vonden de bediening vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het diner met de gerechtjes is leuk, was lekker en goed klaargemaakt! Helaas was het binnen koud en tochtte het erg bij de ramen zodat we ergens anders moesten gaan zitten waar het minder koud was. Het gebouw is erg groot en hoog en ook de akoestiek in het voorste gedeelte bij het raam was niet goed. Heel veel lawaai van andere tafels en stemmen die ver dragen. Misschien daar iets aan doen, want je moet bijna naar elkaar schreeuwen om je verstaanbaar te maken en dat is vermoeiend. Deze negatieve opmerkingen over het gebouw zijn zonde, want het eten is goed, de bediening doet hard zijn/ haar best!!

We come here regularly, but this time it was a little less, we had to wait quite a long time for our drinks. We did get the drinks on the house with an apology, so great. The food was great again.

In Sneek aangekomen op zoek naar een lunchplek en snel gevonden. Mooie plek op een klein plein. Menukaart erg verrassend. Je kiest drie gerechtjes voor een vast bedrag. De drie gerechtjes zijn meer dan voldoende voor een lunch, waren erg lekker. Zeer vriendelijk personeel. ps. Onze buren bestelden alleen de hamburger en kregen dus de miniburger. Hilarisch om de reacties van de stoere mannen te zien.

Gisteren met de gehele familie gegeten bij Proeflokaal. Zeer vriendelijk personeel, we voelden ons enorm welkom. Zelfs aan onze hond werd gedacht met een “tapas schaaltje” hondenbrokjes (erg lief!). Wij zaten binnen, waar het erg gezellig ingericht was. Personeel liep de benen uit hun lijf, ondanks dat was het erg druk en moesten we wat langer wachten op onze gerechten. Maar dit was uiteindelijk zeker de moeite waard. Ik raad dit restaurant zeker aan.

I had a high here, it was delicious. There were a lot of sandwiches, but could use some more sweet things. Was there with nice weather, so everyone sat outside, which gave us a beautiful space inside for the two of us. Missing the warming plate for the tea water. I would definitely recommend him for a beautiful and delicious high tea.

Fijn verblijf gehad, goede en vriendelijk personeel. Leuk en prima locatie, de moeite waard !! Een aanrader in een leuke omgeving

Nice location and the concept with the small snacks (two per round per person) is well executed and offers the opportunity to taste and assess everything. Service is good, food is good.

Altijd heerlijk. Ik kom hier al jaren en nu vrienden uitgenodigd. Zij kenden het concept niet maar vonden het fantastisch

Food is varied, lots of choice (maybe too much, because we simply couldn't taste everything), nice music in the background, nice ambiance and cheerful, pleasant service. So we will definitely come back to try the other dishes

Really delicious food. Add dry white house wine; also great! Highly recommended if you are looking for a full evening program and are not afraid to try tasty food.

Everything was great: food, service, aesthetics of the place, location, prices... I really recommend it.

In een prachtig historisch gebouw al meerder keren gegeten, vergaderd en vandaag geluncht. Leuk dat je een proeverij voor de lunch kunt kiezen. Aanrader voor in het centrum van Sneek!

Het is een heel mooi restaurant met vriendelijke bediening. De drankjes kwamen ook redelijk snel. De tapas hebben we per ronde bijna een uur over gedaan. Dus na 4 rondes ben je er dan wel klaar mee en heb je niet het gevoel dat je voldoende gegeten hebt.

Food quite nice, smooth service But expensive

Nice meal! Received a free drink despite the slightly longer waiting time. Well solved! :)

Enjoyed a lovely meal outside on the terrace as the sun set. Price quality were okay!

Afspraak gemaakt maar door medewerker niet juist in het systeem gezet. Kan gebeuren . We werden echter niet hartelijk ontvangen. wij hadden beiden niet het gevoel dat dit een leuk avondje ging worden. Weggegaan om elders te eten en dat was een heel goede zet. We hebben een top avond gehad. Hoewel het restaurant had gezegd met een oplossing te komen is dat niet gebeurd. Dat hadden we ook niet verwacht. Het is sowieso geen aanrader meer. Jammer van de leuke inrichting en verbouwing. Ik schrijf nooit recensies maar nu wel.

Perfect. Good food. Good service. And not expensive compared to other tents.

A warm welcome is something we always stand for and wish for ourselves. Even if the reservation (with confirmation email!) did not go through properly due to a system error in the computer. In any case, you are looking for an excellent solution. The room was still completely empty. Even though the location is nice and well decorated. We thought the 'man of the house' seemed clumsy and blunt. An error in the computer can happen, but to treat your customers like this... Up to three times he mentioned the wrong name in an unpleasant tone. We had the choice to sit somewhere or leave. We did the latter and enjoyed a very welcome welcome and delicious food elsewhere. As it should. By the way, I have eaten before with good service by nice girls.

Vriendelijk ontvangst. Hele fijne ronde tafel waardoor we de serre konden overzien! En langs elkaar konden zitten. Wij vinden dat prettig. Personeel was vriendelijk, behulpzaam en amusant! Het eten was geweldig! Veel keus. Origineel en erg lekker. Genoten!

If you want your sandwich differently than what is on the menu, this will be neatly arranged

Nice location with cozy atmosphere. Nice top service. The tasting was excellent, tasty and gravad laks (salmon) is highly recommended to taste.

Nice concept, a number of small dishes, nice flavors, nicely presented! Returned after a few years. Partly thanks to hostess Nadine, the evening became an unforgettable one for us.

Fantastisch etentje voor opa’s verjaardag. Mochten in een aparte ruimte, na overleg. Het team kwam regelmatig vragen of alles naar wens was. Heerlijke gerechtjes, ook om te delen. Felicitaties en sterretjesfontijn voor de jarige. Geweldige prijs - kwaliteit, aanrader! Dus ben je in Sneek? Ga naar Restaurant Proeflokaal!

Great place to eat. Beautiful building with an attractive courtyard where we sat. Very friendly service and really delicious dishes.

There is far too much time between dishes, hot dishes are also not really warm. The staff seems to think it's fine, there's not much spice in it

It wasn't the food itself, but… after 4 hours of eating, only 4 rounds. Ordering drinks was often not possible for half an hour, despite contacting staff. Last round of mixed hot dishes/desserts and only desserts arrive. All in all not a good experience.

There is plenty of space and it is in a pleasant location in the center. The snacks are not special (comparable to cheaper tapas restaurants) and drinks are quite pricey. Wouldn't go there again because I don't think the price/quality is in proportion unfortunately.

Although the service staff walked past us several times, we were not served! Left after 15 minutes without any service contact! Too bad. In the restaurant “Onder de Linden” right next door we were served quickly and very friendly!

Staff is very unfriendly and they are unceremoniously no longer served.

This will make you go out. Several good concepts. Good food and drinks in a casual atmosphere

Delicious food, very good service and very friendly staff. We will definitely come back!!

Top food, drinks, service. Beautiful house. Lovely again!

Very nice restaurant, whether for breakfast, lunch or evening. Nice to sit. Great space.

Ate here for the first time last night, very tasty, super friendly and hardworking staff. Highly recommended!

A warm welcome, delicious food and a nice atmosphere

Nice concept. You can choose three or four dishes from the menu. It was very tasty, and fun. Friendly service, nice terrace.

Delicious small snacks, beautiful restaurant, friendly staff

Food was lukewarm and the waiting times between rounds were very long. It was Little Sneek Week. Perhaps it was due to the crowd that the dishes were lukewarm. The employees always asked if everything was satisfactory. I deliberately chose not to say anything (only sent back the cold fries on the third round), because it was a farewell dinner with my daughters and I didn't want to spoil the atmosphere. Moreover, the waiting time between rounds was already very long, so we would have had to wait even longer. Our host Ivo was very nice and helpful (5*). The boy who welcomed us when we arrived couldn't help but smile. The same at checkout. €235 for 4 people was really not worth it.

The rosé tasted good. Then asked for the menu and was promised bread, but we then had to ask for it twice. Another family left because it took too long... the snacks were a bit disappointing. I had, among other things, a Greek puff pastry snack with honey and pine nuts. This also included spinach, a very strange combination. The other snacks weren't really special either. Furthermore, we were often asked if we were ready, while we were still waiting for a round. The concept was also not clearly explained to us. Order unlimited snacks for €40 pp. As far as I'm concerned, it's not something worth repeating.

Delicious food! The nachos and vegan bitterballen were amazing

Nice dishes on the menu, but unfortunately mediocre quality. Dishes arrived lukewarm and also quite small portions. We felt there was a lack of passion in the dishes. Unimaginative and much prefab. Waiting time between courses is too long. Had to ask twice for drinks not delivered, dessert cutlery forgotten. Maybe it's because it was a Saturday evening and quite busy with large groups. Location and furnishings are great.

Great high tea and super nice staff.

Nice place to have beers in the evening. Relaxed atmosphere and a nice space behind.

We were assigned a table, but 15 minutes later no one had come to us. When we got up we saw the three of them standing at the bar very happily. We went to eat somewhere else.

During a walk through the city center, this beautiful building attracted attention! Very surprising concept to put together your own lunch board. Choose from, for example, 3 or 4, hot or cold dishes. Frisian onion soup surprisingly delicious! Sandwiches great!

Delicious food. Tasting for €34.50 (excl drinks). Unlimited. Always choose 2 dishes. Also starters and desserts. Start with a breadboard. Nicely renovated. Tempo of service is fine. Sat for 2.5 hours. Friendly service. We were asked several times if everything was satisfactory. Also upstairs seating. Lunch is also tasty. Also tasting of 3 or 4 dishes (soup, sandwiches, salad).

Very nice system. Pay a fixed price and order small dishes. All very tasty.

Food is fine, but the price is way too expensive for what you get, nothing special. Nice tent otherwise.

First terrace of the year. Only had a few drinks, but service was super nice!

We had a delicious meal here, all dishes are prepared with care and attention. The restaurant itself has a cozy and relaxed atmosphere! To be repeated!

I really liked that you could order 3 or 4 small dishes. This way you have no choice, stress. Also various vegetarian dishes. It was delicious

Sitting outside, out of the wind in the sun. Nice little lunch dishes. Tasteful. We will definitely come back.

Had a great evening Delicious food Friendly people in the service Definitely go there more often

We had lunch here in the afternoon and, based on the menu, decided to have dinner there in the evening as well. Nice tapas-like concept with many different dishes. All neatly served by friendly staff. It's allyoucaneat. Highly recommended for those who want to take the time to enjoy a delicious meal.

Good food for a small price, definitely worth repeating

Tonight we had dinner with our family at the tasting room because we had something to celebrate. after 2 hours we had only had 1 round... at one point we indicated to the waiter that it was taking a very long time... he offered an apology and a drink.... it was cold and the food was not very warm either. ... after almost 4 hours the children became very impatient with the whole thing... and unfortunately we skipped dessert and left.... service was very friendly but overall it was a disappointment. Paid a lot of money for it so it's a shame...

Nice concept (fixed amount and just pay) and all equally tasty.

Had a very nice and delicious evening. Seats in the front downstairs not super comfortable but you can't have everything. Definitely recommended. Mocktails also very tasty

The food was very tasty, it was very cold and when paying: be careful! Food: Tapas concept is really an experience, most of it was very tasty. Atmosphere: cozy, atmospheric space, but it was cold! After complaints from several guests, an employee came to hand out rugs to the chilling guests, which were used outside. Apparently an indoor garden with a glass roof cannot be heated in winter. Service: Attn: We were two couples and each had a discount voucher with which the 2nd person could eat for free. We agreed that 1 person would pay and the other couple would send a little something. After payment was made, we realized that the bill was very high, considering the discount coupons. When we went to get some information, we were told that only 1 discount voucher was accepted per payment. However, this was not mentioned anywhere and was not mentioned at checkout, on the contrary: Both discount vouchers were simply accepted and put in the cash register, but very sneakily only 1 was deducted. First they tried to satisfy us with a new discount voucher. Only when we requested to cancel the payment, so that each couple could pay separately, did we still receive a €40 refund.

Delicious food, but ice cold in the back room.

The restaurant is located in a beautiful old building that has been beautifully renovated. You pay a fixed amount and can order many different small dishes from the menu. (3 or 4 dishes at lunch, as many as you like at dinner). The selection is large and everything was very tasty. The service was very nice and helpful.

Well, what should I think? This time was my first experience from a group of 4. The rest wanted to go here because of good previous experiences. Maybe we were unlucky and understaffed. But lukewarm food, many bland dishes and a very long wait made me not happy about this. Shame

Very nice to eat here, the service is also very friendly. The dishes are delicious and the environment is so nice in that old courthouse.

Special menu where you can choose from 3 (or more and possibly less) dishes instead of 1 lunch dish. Beautiful building

Friendly staff. Formula is complicated if you are with a group of more than 4. We were there on a Thursday evening and got the feeling that the people couldn't handle it. The food was nothing special, a bit bland in taste here and there. We were surprised by a tipsy Sinterklaas and 2 Black Petes. Mixed feelings.

We organized a baby shower with high tea here for a large group of girls. From the email contact in advance to the end of the baby shower, we received really good and friendly help, and they always enthusiastically helped us to make it a beautiful afternoon (such as help with the decorations, good high tea options for the pregnant woman). girlfriend, non-alcoholic bubbles at the beginning). The room was perfect, nicely decorated and the service came by often enough to replenish the delicious snacks and drinks. The helpfulness throughout the afternoon (even if it was not high tea related) was greatly appreciated and made us feel very welcome. All compliments to you! We would love to come back again.

Yesterday we had another delicious meal at Proeflokaal. New dishes on the menu, varied and delicious. Very friendly service and each new course came to the table relatively quickly. Recommended!

We think this is a nice restaurant to go to. beautiful building and good food

Nice place for a drink, delicious beer and bitterballen, plus a baby changing table available so everyone is welcome

Great fun and delicious food, highly recommended

High Tea. Tasty! Enough served, nicely arranged. A team outing gets the fun started. You can book here with confidence.

Delicious food, very friendly service.

Very pleasant and in the middle of the city

Tasty lunch with lots of choice.

Beautiful location. Tasty snacks. Very good service. Your wishes are listened to carefully. We sat in the conservatory, beautiful, but a little less romantic due to the abundance of daylight. When it got dark it was more romantic.
