Restaurant 't Edelhert in Wijk 01 Elspeet-Vierhouten

Accessible and tasty food, an extensive drinks menu, friendly staff, and all at reasonable prices.

Great food at a reasonable price in a relaxed atmosphere. The service is excellent and friendly. There were two of us, and we were assigned a round table in the corner. That isn't very convenient, and the table was actually too big for the space in the restaurant; perhaps they could change the layout a bit. But otherwise, we had a truly delicious meal, and I absolutely cannot say that we were left wanting.

We had a delicious meal at restaurant Het Edelhert in Elspeet. We chose the 3-course summer menu for €30. Absolutely fantastic. With the soup, the terrine was placed on the table so we could take another plate if we felt like it. We chose the salmon as the main course; it was a substantial piece and prepared nicely. The side dishes—fries, roasted potatoes, and various vegetables—were also delicious and generous portions. The dessert was also excellent: a large coupe with ice cream, strawberries, and whipped cream. It is a nice restaurant in the center of Elspeet, and the service is prompt and friendly. We will definitely be back!

Delicious food. Friendly staff.

Nice location, heated terrace, friendly service, tasty and plentiful food

We had to wait at the entrance until someone came; that took a while, it was busy. When someone finally arrived, I was looked at as if to say, "What are you doing here?" So I just asked for a table for lunch; what else was I there to do? That wasn't possible; they were full (I saw there were still empty spots inside), the kitchen couldn't handle it, so just come back in a while. I have never experienced anything like this, not even in small, simple little places. Then I went to De Hofstee, and what a difference: friendly, warm, and pleasant service, and yes, I had a super delicious lunch. So it can be done this way too.

We unexpectedly ended up at Het Edelhert on Friday evening. We saw an offer for the three-course summer menu for just €30. So we decided to choose that, and it was a good decision. A few slices of house baguette with herb butter. The tomato soup to start was amazing, well-filled with homemade meatballs. For the main course, a schnitzel topped with onion, mushrooms, and cheese. A delicious, tender schnitzel, and the combination of onion, mushrooms, and cheese was top-notch. Served with delicious fresh warm vegetables, salad, fries, fresh baby potatoes, and homemade apple compote. (That was a work of art). To our surprise, a delicious dessert followed as well. Vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries and real whipped cream. The service was also impeccable and very hospitable. Highly recommended.

Good value for money. Tasty old-fashioned food.

With the heat of that day, we were able to enjoy a wonderfully cool dinner in the evening. The atmosphere is very good, and the service is very friendly!

The food was delicious. Highly recommended. Friendly service and a fantastic chef.

Had another delicious meal. Prompt service, though the staff could be a bit more cheerful.

The food and the service were perfect.

Ate here with friends last Saturday, very long wait for the dishes, friendly girls with emphasis on girls (14, 15 years old), but the schnitzel was very tough, mentioned this to the wait staff and received no response at all, so never again for me.

The staff is very young and doesn't look around very well yet. But they are super friendly!

We ate there on Wednesday evening after a bike tour. Excellent value for money, great service, highly recommended!

Fantastic menu and great products. Well served by exceptionally friendly staff. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed.

Once again, the meal was a feast!!

While cycling through the beautiful Veluwe, you come across countless hospitality establishments. 't Edelhert in Elspeet stands out. With a surprising menu at a reasonable price point and, for the enthusiast, an extensive beer list. All this is provided by friendly staff. If you are in the area, it is highly recommended.

Great quality! The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. Good parking. Cozy location.

Super nice quiet restaurant Delicious food And friendly service

Super nice restaurant, very affordable. Be sure to try the Deer sandwich, it's delicious.

Had a delicious meal, very friendly and professional service.

the boys and girls doing the dishes were amazing food very tasty and the service fantastic atmosphere is really nice fits well with the village

Just went out for dinner at ‘t Edelhert with a large group. It took quite a long time before we received our food. They don't have allergen menus there, and the staff doesn't really know what is and isn't allowed. They had to ask around but forgot to come back. The portions weren't very large, and neither were the side dishes (even though you easily pay €25 for a main course). The fish was quite dry, and the spare ribs weren't very tender. In short, it was okay, a bit expensive for what you get, and we had to wait a long time. I wouldn't be coming back here anytime soon.

Excellent lunch! Generous portions, reasonable prices, friendly service, terrace with sunny and shady spots. The lunch menu is very extensive. There is something tasty for everyone. We will definitely come back here again.

Very nice restaurant with friendly service, the portion size is good and the price is even low. A solid 10. Regards, jvz

Delicious food in a friendly atmosphere.

Jeez, what incredibly bad service. After the lunch rush, we settled down on the terrace. There is no allergen menu, taking our order takes forever, and if you want to order something extra, no one pays attention to you. And that on an almost empty terrace! Empty tables are cleared first, before our dirty plates are taken away and we are asked if we want another drink (takes 15 minutes). The food is nothing special, so I would go somewhere else. Not recommended!!!

A good plate of food for a reasonable price.

We were seated somewhere at the very back in a soulless room; there was no background music. It was a dull, bare room, and cold inside. The food was far from good. And while the staff was very friendly, they were not well-trained. Everything took a very long time. No steak knives were provided, and we had to ask for them ourselves. From what we had heard, this was supposed to be a top restaurant. But it was a complete letdown.

A beautiful location for a delicious meal. Friendly service and very customer-friendly. A nice menu with plenty of choice and (for these times) very reasonable prices. Definitely worth a return visit!

Polite service and fantastic ambiance with an excellent menu

Left an excellent impression and has a good price/quality ratio, we will definitely come back again

The food was okay for the price. Service was reasonably quick.

Unfortunately, cyclists in cycling gear are not welcome here! They wanted to keep the tables available for potential walkers.

We made a reservation three weeks in advance and were put in the back of a cold room, leaving us cold. There's no system for reception or who's in charge. The starter arrived 5 minutes later, unfortunately, and the clearing took 45 minutes. Our main course arrived an hour later. Side dishes were supposed to arrive but didn't. We left when we finished our main course and, when paying, indicated that we didn't need the side dishes. It's a shame this was our first experience with this restaurant, but we decided to make it a one-time experience.

Last Tuesday, my husband and I dined here for the first time. First of all, the staff were so friendly! And the food... We really enjoyed it, and it was so plentiful. It's a very pleasant place to sit. Unfortunately, it was very cold that evening, and some soft ambient music would have completed the atmosphere! But once again, the food and staff were EXCELLENT!

Delicious food. Friendly staff. Nice and quiet, yet cozy. Moppie the dog was also welcome. On-site parking.

So on a Tuesday not a very exciting atmosphere, but Wild Trio was very tender.

Had a delicious lunch, good quality and friendly service

Delicious food and very friendly and efficient service.

It's fantastic here! We repeatedly said to each other: where else do you find that?! Music wasn't annoying, but absent or soft. We started with a few rolls with herb butter, not too much, and on the house! A huge selection of side dishes with the main course: four kinds of vegetables, plus salad, pears, both potatoes and fries. A nice game menu. Clean cutlery with every course, and a clean glass and a fresh lemon slice with every new drink. And everything was delicious. Friendly staff, maybe a bit of a long wait sometimes, but that feeling is also because we didn't have much time. We were asked if our main course could be brought over or if we wanted to wait a bit longer, which isn't something you see very often these days. Clean restrooms, and everything worked. In short: definitely worth repeating!!

Delicious and more than enough food in a quiet atmosphere and attentive staff

We had the restaurant to ourselves with our group (grandparents, children, and grandchildren, approximately 35 people) upon request. The food was excellent, the staff were very helpful, and the service was very friendly and efficient. Much appreciated!

The staff is incredibly friendly and explains everything. Excellent parking.

"We had a wonderful meal at Het Edelhert restaurant. The game menu was exquisite! A wonderful way to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary."

We had a good time there and had a delicious meal.

Great restaurant, lovely atmosphere, and delicious food. We enjoyed the excellent game menu.

Delicious food, friendly service, and in a beautiful setting.

We had a wonderful and cozy meal with 6 of us... the lovely, sweet girls from the service... 👍👍

It was very busy. The two of us had a spot near the door. I found it really cold. I had to wear my coat the whole time. It was handy that the outside door was always open and there was a door in between. It was also handy that if you need to use the restroom, it's right by the open outside door. They also forgot about us after 20 minutes, when we hadn't even had a drink yet, and someone had come to us. They made up for it by giving us two free drinks and some baguette with herb butter, which was nice, but of course, you wouldn't have wanted that. The food was otherwise fine, and you got plenty of side dishes, which was very tasty! I did have to add some salt to the venison stew; it was a bit bland. It lacked the proper stew flavor. All in all, a great meal!

We sat in the back of the restaurant, which I think is a rather cozy area.

Authentic village atmosphere. The food is delicious and served very friendly.

The price is not worth the quality

I had a fantastic meal at Restaurant 't Edelhert! I went for the Wagyu trio, and I highly recommend it for anyone who loves a deliciously tender piece of meat. Everything was perfectly prepared, and the atmosphere was the perfect finishing touch. In short: if you want a delicious meal and a cozy atmosphere, this is the place to be!

This is so delicious. I love coming here for lunch or dinner.

A beautiful appearance, which they can't live up to. A: "Kir" is unknown. We get something completely different. So we ask for a glass of port. The glass of port is served in a small wine glass with the remains of dregs. B: We've barely received our port, we've barely eaten the bread and spread, and then we get the starter. With a glass of rosé and a glass of white wine. (Both in a large glass.) No one clears the table. The menu lists a three-course surprise menu with wine pairing. We weren't given any further information about this. C: When the main course arrives, we ask for a glass of red wine. The dish is almost finished by the time the wine (in a small glass) arrives. D: Moreover, sirloin steak is very difficult to serve on a surprise menu. We like it "rare," but this one was well done. We weren't asked anything about the preparation. During the main course, we asked for the chef. The young waitress asked for clarification. We discussed the above with her. She understood our concerns and said the chef would be there as soon as possible. When paying, we asked for the chef again. They said it might take a while. We didn't want to wait. Hence this review. Nothing bad to say about the service, but the chef's lack of response is telling: embarrassing. Ger and Els Pijnenburg

We had a very tasty meal. Good service, cozy atmosphere. We did have to wait a while for the food, probably because it was busy.

WOW. We chose it based on what we call a "regular" menu, but what a surprise! We both ordered the summer menu. One had tomato soup and salmon, the other mushroom soup and schnitzel. Both, in a word, WOW. Absolutely delicious. The side dishes were also very tasty. We were still looking for a restaurant for the next day, so we made a reservation right away.

The food was delicious, and the service was friendly. The place is beautiful and clean.

No background music (after all, not everyone has the same taste...), good service, and we were seated at a spot of our choosing (we were there well before dinner and could even choose something from the lunch menu: that's not always the case!). We opted for the summer menu, but even then, there was plenty to choose from for less than €30, and it tasted fantastic!

Good food for a reasonable price

Great food and drinks, but there's a huge area for improvement. At one point, there were seven tables that hadn't been cleared after guests had visited. Staff kept walking past them empty-handed back to the kitchen. When new guests sit down, the tables are cleared, but the table isn't properly cleaned first. Come on, Red Deer, do something about this!

10/10 good food for little and top staff

We ordered a lunch special for the two of us (at least two of us). In a word, fantastic, beautifully presented, varied, and delicious. The tomato soup was small but delicious. Including two drinks and a tip, it was €42 each, so definitely worth it.

A bit more expensive, but extremely delicious. It's definitely worth a visit. The quality is excellent. The service was also very good and friendly.

I booked a special dinner, and they even called me back to ask what kind of special it would be. I said, "The love for my wife and I," so heart-shaped petals and a bottle of bubbly were chilled on the table—wonderful. The food is fantastic, as is the staff. Please note that during busy periods, it can take a while for your order to arrive, and that's something to be aware of at a good, busy restaurant. We give it a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

We'll be back to eat at Het Edelhert. It was delicious again. Highly recommended.

Beautiful location and friendly staff. Delicious food from an extensive menu. Will definitely return.

We had a wonderful lunch here. Friendly service and delicious food. Everything looks very neat. Plenty of space to sit outside (under cover).

It was fine, but the service was sometimes slow. I noticed they weren't super helpful yet. The food was just fine.

Had a lovely lunch, will definitely come back

Delicious food...very friendly service. Highly recommended.

Delicious food! We ate with 2 people and all the dishes were great. Just really tasty and honest. Everything was well prepared with nice side dishes without all the fuss. Highly recommended to eat here. You wish every village had a restaurant like 't Edelhert.

I was a bit disappointed in terms of price quality was not bad, but not something in my opinion to repeat. Also in terms of ambiance it was a bit disappointing no background music and the light regularly "flickered" Furthermore friendly staff

There nice and cozy! Took the surprise menu. And indeed nice tasty and surprising. And a nice price

Very friendly. Good and large portions Nice 2 times in 1 week here.

Was really good 2 years ago but now everything was a bit disappointing. Had made a reservation but got a clearly pushed table and we had to wait a very long time for service and menu. Then the food was also disappointing, so all in all not enough for more stars.

Still a really solid, principled and good restaurant.

Lovely to have lunch there again. Despite the rain we sat on the covered terrace.

Good restaurant. Delicious food for a fair price

Last Friday we ate here with a large group of about 60 people. A delicious set menu was put together in advance (in consultation). This menu was on a special card for this occasion. It was neatly served per table. Also delicious vegetables with the menus. We enjoyed the delicious food and the cozy atmosphere. Really super top done team Edelhert!

Cozy restaurant, nicely decorated, friendly staff, sufficient parking. We had dinner, it's been a long time since we had such a good meal! Large portions too, with fries and baked potatoes, 4 types of vegetables and apple compote, everything was equally delicious. If we are in the area again, we will gladly come here again!

One of the restaurants during our 'Happen en Trappen' tour of the Veluwe

It was very busy, despite our reservation we had to wait a while before we were served. Everything else top quality!

Teleurstellend begin, 2 dagen van te voren tel.gereserveerd,bleek niet geagendeerd te zijn.Uiteindelijk 'gedropt'in een achteraf-zaaltje zonder enige sfeer en fraaie aankleding .(sfeerloze tafeltjes en stoelen zoals bij een bruin cafe en uitzicht op....een schutting! De jeugdige dames in de bediening probeerden het niveau nog wel enigszins 'op te krikken 'maar de toon was helaas al gezet... Ook werd geen enige vorm van compensatie aangeboden. Ook aan diverse andere klanten werd dit zaaltje 'aangeboden' maar deze weigerden deze ruimte overduidelijk zichtbaar teleurgesteld. Verder ontbraken voor het nuttigen van de spareribs het benodigde specifieke kleine scherpe mesje en het warme schoonmaakdoekje voor de vette vingers... Jammer.De locatie van het restaurant -op een mooie hoek gelegen - an sich wekt hogere verwachtingen die dus helaas -in ons geval- nu niet geheel waar gemaakt werden. Hopelijk helpt dit review op een positieve manier een noodzakelijke upgrading re realiseren van de beide 'achteraf-zaaltjes' zodat er al in een betere en warmere sfeer aan het dineren kan worden begonnen. De algeheel redelijke prijsstelling en de geserveerde hoeveelheid per gekozen item verzachtte al met al ons teleurstellende bezoek aan dit restaurant nog enigermate! Fam Voortman.

Al diversen keren geluncht wat ook erg goed was. En nu diner geboekt keurige bediening en heerlijk gegeten komen zeker nog een keer terug.

Enjoyed a delicious meal in restaurant 't Edelhert. We had not booked in advance so we were lucky that we could still get a table. The service was smooth and friendly. The menu is very extensive, something for everyone. We had a mixed grill and a pork tenderloin skewer as a main course and a crème brûlée for dessert. The dishes were all very well prepared, the different types of meat were perfectly cooked. The portions were very fresh and above all very generous. Recommended. An extensive wine list is also offered with a nice selection of wines. We had a Tempranillo and it was also excellent. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely stop by to taste more dishes.

Delicious food. Nice service but there was no atmosphere at all. We ate inside, the outdoor terrace is great

Really delicious food, with great attention to details. Every dish was a surprise 😍.

Had a wonderful meal tonight with great staff and delicious dishes! Worth visiting

Cozy village cafe, restaurant. Good service. The spicy chicken sandwich had lost its spice, but in no time I received a truly delicious spicy sauce. Ideal place for lunch.

Sfeervol en goed restaurant, we hebben genoten van een heerlijke lunch. De lunchspecial voor twee personen met warme en koude gerechten is aan te bevelen.

Great restaurant and affordable.

Great place to eat out; wide choice (meat, fish and vegetarian) and if you like game, you can also go here (we were here in January, don't know if this can also be ordered in the summer). The portions are large, maybe a little too generous if you are not a big eater. This also applies to dessert. Friendly service. It is wise to book in advance.

Nice place for lunch, excellent food

Cozy restaurant with great service and delicious food. Everything well taken care of, whether you go for lunch or dinner. Everything is equally tasty and prepared with care. The game dishes are highly recommended, with an extra mention for the wild mushroom soup.

Great food, delicious and looked good

We hadden nog wel een keer zin om in de buurt wild te gaan eten. Restaurant ‘t Edelhert in Elspeet bood die mogelijkheid. We kozen niet voor het wildmenu, maar à la carte. Ik begon met een uitgebreide wildparade, waarop diverse wildsoorten waren gecombineerd. Mijn tafelgenoot begon met een carpaccio van fazant met mango-witlof chutney. Voordat beide voorgerechten werden geserveerd werd nog een bord brood opgediend. De beide voorgerechten smaakten goed, al was het lastig alle verschillende wildsoorten van elkaar te onderscheiden. De voorgerechten hadden ook een aardige hoeveelheid groente (salade), zelfs meer dan er in de luxere restaurants bij een volledig 5-gangenmenu wordt geserveerd. Het hoofdgerecht voor mij was een wildduo, bestaande uit herten- en reebiefstuk. Ik vond de reebiefstuk wat medicinaal smaken, mijn tafelgenoot proefde dat niet. Hij had een wildtrio, bestaande uit hert, wild zwijn en haas, met daarbij een vossenbessensaus. De hoofdgerechten werden begeleid door frietjes, gebakken aardappeltjes, rode kool, witlof, witte kool en stoofpeertjes. We besloten het verrassingsdessert maar niet te kiezen, omdat de gangen goed gevuld waren. Ik nam een klein Elspeets ijsje, mijn tafelgenoot een warme apfelstrudel met walnotenijs. Daarna raakte de bediening een beetje het spoor kwijt. Het leek wel of we onzichtbaar waren geworden. Mogelijk omdat de meeste gasten al waren vertrokken werd er meer aandacht gegeven aan het schoonmaken van de tafels en dergelijke dan aan ons. Uiteindelijk hebben we maar gevraagd of er nog koffie geserveerd kon worden. We sloten traditioneel af met een cafeïnevrije cappuccino zonder en een gewone koffie met bonbons. De prijzen in het restaurant waren nogal divers: van € 2, 95 voor een cappuccino , tot € 9,50 voor een mojito. De totale rekening bedroeg € 135. Hoewel de gerechten redelijk klassiek en niet spectaculair waren, hebben we goed gegeten bij Het Edelhert. Er blijven nog wel wat verbeterpuntjes over in de bediening. Service 7 Eten 7,5 Ambiance 7

Very spontaneous service and high-quality food. Highly recommended.
