We dined at this restaurant before going to a concert. We were able to easily park in the area and a short walk through a park took us to the main street and the restaurant. The welcome was warm and friendly and quickly the restaurant ws quickly filled. The house wine red was excellent in taste and the starters very good. We recommend the anti pasto misto which was very good. We then had the penne gambaretti which tasted wonderfull. The portions are large and the only comment is that our penne was slighty overcooked which was a shame otherwise an excellent meal.

Great food, great beer, friendly staff and reasonable prices. The only bummer, food menu not in English. However, staff speak it (general, in The Netherlands) and even the chef came out to ensure I got what I was looking for. Free wi-fi as well. Loved it!

Not many good pizza / Italian places in Zoetermeer, so this one is a good option for Italian food. Good Pizza, friendly staff.

Would not have guessed that the quality of the food would be this good. The staff, the service, the food, the wine - it all fell into place. Had a great night out with a close friend and she could not have picked a better place. Will most certainly return.
5. Hoeve Kromwijk

Reviewed By Vijgeblad - Epinay-sur-Orge, France
Kromwijk is a great place to relax. No parking problems, no good and not so good tables, from highly informal coffee plus to quite formal dining. Always something that pleases on an often changing menu and a reasonable price. The staff is young and enthusiastic. Nice, fresh bread. Like many Dutch restaurants, they refuse to serve tap water, which I find irritating. The chef displays promising hints of creativity he could develop further (the fries are a prime example of how a common food can be made and presented in a better and more attractive way) and the wines tend towards overpricing. However, the bottom line is that at the end of your meal, you feel "restaured" :)

6. De Bakkerswinkel

De Bakkerswinkel (The Bakery) at Dorpsstraat in Zoetermeer was the first Bakkerswinkel opened by founder, Piet Hekker in 1981. The patterned tea crockery, the numerous wall decorations and the many jam jars: all ingredients of the true "Bakkerswinkel style' are present.

Very good pastry, good coffee, some worthwhile salty pies, OK teas, dreary salads, smallish portions. Go there when you need a rest, not when you want to feast.

We chose the "Trip with different dishes" menu. High quality food, good mise-en-place. One of our party will not eat fish, so alternative dishes were provided. The wine arrangement , with excellent choices, was also available as half glasses, so we could still enjoy the fourth course. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Will return.

I have not been to this restaurant for a very long time, that being said...Delphi is on the way to become my favorite Greek restaurant in Zoetermeer.
The food is excellent, seasoned to perfection, meats are fresh and tender and their service is very attentive and friendly.
In comparison with other Greek restaurants the prices are more than reasonable. The menu is modern with enough variety but not with an overload of dishes so choosing something to your fancy is much easier than in most Greek restaurants.
Bravo Delphi!

The all you can eat concept is lovely. The sushi is fresh and very tasty. The menu is very extensive. Enough choice for everyone: fish, meat, salad, rice, noodles etc. You order with a tablet. In this way everything is efficient and goes smoothly. Also drinks, extra wasabi or the bill you ask with the tablet. Afterwards you can eat from the dessert bar or ask for icecream. Although the restaurant is always full the service is excellent and you get your food fast. A nice and cosy place for dinner. Do not forget to make a reservation.

Dont understand the glowing reviews for this place. This is not proper Tapas. Half of the dishes could not be ordered. Flavours where bland dishes where oily and not seasoned.
We ate and left so quickly we could have called it a fast food experience.
Avoid there are much better places here you can have a proper spanish experience around Zoetermeer /den haag.
Positive things:
Service was fast
Wine was ok
Ambiance is fairly good
