What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners often praise Restaurant De Proeftuyn for its surprising and delicious dishes, especially the creative desserts. The service is frequently described as friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is pleasant and cozy. However, some reviews mention that the food can take a long time to be served during peak hours, and one diner found the main courses to be overpriced and mediocre.
"Wow, that was a nice surprise. We ate in the evening so took the menu. The price- quality ratio was top! A very interesting menu. Both for meat and vega people. Also the service was top! The kids menu was maybe a bit too childish, but good quality and quantity. I would have prefered for dessert the possibility to have fruit. But the dessert were also very surprising! I higly recommand!!!"

"We had a wonderful evening after a magical day at Efteling.
The staff is helpful and friendly, the restaurant is decorated nicely and the food is awesome.
The appetizers are delicious and simply wild. Roasted melon with wasabi and grilled Salad?! It was just delicious. Weird but tasty!
My steak was on point rare. I love my beef nearly mooing, and they did it. Perfect!!!
My wife had a good and filling portion of pork rack. Our best friend enjoyed his Burger which was so juice it nearly ran down his forearm.
The deserts were a hit too. A lemon desert which looked like a lemon, a planting pott made of Oreos and Cream and a nice selection of cheeses.
Overall it was a really nice experience which we would always recommend.
Hartelijk bedankt!"

"Excellent !
Tiffany offered us a really great service (even if our english was really bad) and the dishes were better than expected ! Excellent quality and taste, the complete menu including starters, main dish, sides and dessert costs 37€ and that's worth it, which is not that usual for an attraction park. You will surely be full at the end.
In particular, the deserts, which were in trompe l'oeil really astonished us visually and tasted good !
I recommend this place to anybody, which is also great for children because they have a huge playing place.
They propose menus in english and french but the translation is sometimes approximative. This is the only point that could be better !"
