Compliments to the butcher or the chef. But I think to both. 😜 What a delicious tournedos, combined with the great atmosphere and service, this is a top-notch place.

I recently ate here with my partner, and it was truly delicious! I had the "lady" tournedos and my husband the sirloin steak. It was truly fantastic, along with the sautéed mushrooms and herb butter! A huge compliment to this restaurant!

Nice place, great atmosphere. It took a while to take the order, but it was served quickly. The food was delicious. The spareribs were incredibly tender, and the stir-fried chicken was also very tasty. The atmosphere is also good, with nice decor.

If we had more stars available for the food, we could have given it even more stars in good conscience. We all enjoyed it. The only reason we deducted one star was because it was a bit too dark for some of us to eat.

We've eaten here several times and it's been quite good so far, but what the chef did this time was subpar. Five of us ate here. My wife and her friend ordered the Wiedergutmacher Schnitzel. One portion of schnitzel looked good, the other portion was burnt. After we pointed this out to the service, the chef came personally and was very unfriendly, although you could see that the breading was burnt, he said the schnitzels were always fried the same way and that couldn't be right. Only after a long discussion was he ready to fry new ones. The champions that were part of the meal were then burned. Since we didn't feel like having further discussions, we accepted it as it was. We won't be going there again.

The choice of food was okay. Unfortunately the waitress spread the dip on her cell phone, pants and table. After I was allowed to clean everything myself, we were finally able to enjoy the food. The spareribs were good. The bones simply come off. The fries with nuggets were okay too. Unfortunately, the waitress didn't compensate us for the damage caused. There was also no question as to whether the pants needed to be cleaned. All in all, not a successful evening.

We zijn er 2 keer geweest. 1 keer voor even wat te drinken en beetje lekker erbij en was super. De pinacolada was super lekker, goed bier en lekker bittergarnituur. De tweede keer was het avond eten en ik vroeg even om de soep van de dag uit te leggen en kreeg meteen een beetje om te proeven dus dat was super. Als vooraf hadden we carpaccio, ossenhaas salade en de soep van de dag. Ze waren allemaal super goed. Hoofdgerecht hadden we tournedos, entrecote en de burger. Deze waren allemaal super en de vlees was perfect gebakken. De sfeer is ook super leuk. Ik raad het zeker aan.

Een erg charmant eetcafe in bruin cafe stijl. Wij werden warm verwelkomd door de in alle opzichten assertieve en vriendelijke bediening. Alle opgediende gerechten waren erg mooi gepresenteerd met verrassende details. De hoeveelheden uiterst gul voor de prijs. Entrcote en tournedos exact zo als afgesproken medium rare met knapperig gebakken friet, voldoende sausjes en een letterlijk en figuurlijk smaakvolle garnering van verse groenten, zowel rauw als gestoomd. En dat alles vrijwel tegelijk opgediend voor zes personen in een gezellig volle tent. Bij de 'Wiedergutmachungs(kalfs)schnitzel' zat er een iets opdringerige smaak van te oud frituurfet aan. Idem bij de gefrituurde camembert. De verzekering van de zeer vriendelijke bediening, dat het vet net is ververst, kon niet echt opbieden tegen de onze eigen smaakpapillen. Eerder een incident dan typerend voor deze uitermate bovengemiddelde keuken gezien alle eerder genoemde indrukken. De toetjes waren allemaal van zeer goede smaak en niet kinderachtig qua grootte. Prijs qualiteit verhouding dik in orde. Wij komen met plezier hier weer eens terug.

Onze ervaring is wat verschillend De spareribs waren erg smaakvol. De slibtongen helaas verbrand. De zeebaars was prima. De salades bij de hamburger waren te zout, hier was duidelijk iets mis gegaan. De porties zijn ruim bemeten. Het was druk en vooral erg rumoerig binnen. Het was echt te luidruchtig. We konden elkaar niet verstaan. Vriendelijke bediening en ondanks drukte geen overdreven lange wachttijden.

Turfveld is an idyllic snack bar in the forest. There are the usual Dutch delicacies. The special highlight are the Rasp Patat. If you eat outside, you're almost sitting under trees and it's very quiet and cozy. There is a playground and trees for children to climb.
