The restaurant is located in the street parallel to the main shopping street between the two public squares. Although it has been opened more than 35 years ago, the restaurant is quite modern thanks to recent renovations.
We had dinner there with 7 friends. Before we sat down at the table, we were offered to have an aperitif in the Seating area with a fireplace. There are also two outside areas. The staff is professional and friendly.
A special feature of this restaurant is that they sell one liter bottles of water for just one euro and they even donate this amount to charity! Food and wine were great and for the price we paid we all said it is very good value for money.

My husband and I have been living in Rijssen (a little city in the east of the Netherlands) for just over 4 months now. We have been looking for a nice restaurant to go to whenever we have something to celebrate or to treat ourselves. This past weekend we tried Buena Vista and wow! What a lovely discovery!! We walked in to find a restaurant nearly packed to the brim but the waiting staff found us a table and promptly brought us there. We had a look at their menus and they have a really wide variety of dishes and drinks. We ordered drinks and a tapas to start with. Despite it taking a bit long to arrive, it was delicious (we had chicken bites with honey mustard sauce)! We decided then and there that we'll be back to have only tapas. We both ordered a pork dish as a main and we had it infront of us in no time! It was absolutely lovely. It had enough sauce, wasn't dry at all, it had some veggies on the plate and there was a side order of fries and salad. After all that delicious food, we decided to have dessert. My husband had tiramisu and I had creme brulee with ice cream. I didn't want the ice cream as mentioned on the menu and it was no problem at all to have it substituted by a different flavour. The creme brulee was bit of a let-down but I thoroughly enjoyed the ice cream. All in all it was a wonderful dinner and night out. They service was good and the atmosphere very relaxed. One little negative was that the music was a little too loud which prompted everyone to speak louder and the lights were too dim (my husband couldn't read the small print on the menu). Buena Vista also has a party hall which is directly adjacent to the restaurant but this was no problem as we never heard any loud noises or rowdy behavior. I would definitely visit this restaurant again but think that next time we'll reserve a table to avoid disappointment (I consider us lucky that we got a table so quickly this time).

We recently gave this place a try using our Albert Heijn discount stamps which offered the second 3 course menu for free. It allows you to choose from a preset 3 course menu with the following choices: meat, fish or surprise.
I took the surprise, my wife took the meat. I got an appetizer with salmon and tuna. It was nice and tasty. My wife got a salad with chicken chunks in it.
For the main we both got a small piece of chicken with curry sauce, some baked potatoes with skin, a tiny salad to share and a few pieces of beetroot. The flavor was okay, not bad, but also nothing really special. It sure wasn't a whole lot of food which was my biggest concern.
For the desert we both got a piece of ice. It was nice and tasty.
All in all, especially considering we got one meal for free, it wasn't a bad deal. I did get hungry again later on the evening due to the small portions though.
Staff is friendly, the place looks nice, there's free parking behind the restaurant. I did read some reviews that some of the staff has a handicap, we didn't notice that it any way.
It did take quite long to get the food served, although the restaurant was far from full. Would have been nice if it was a bit faster.
Payment only using cash or PIN. No credit cards of any kind are being accepted.

I went here with my brother a couple of times in June and July. The food is delicious and the weizeners from tap in the summer a delight.

This restaurant is located in the Fletcher Hotel in Rijssen. The quality of the food is good, but the place is more suitable for conservative, local people. Non-Dutch speaking people are not warmly welcomed, which makes the dining experience a bit uncomfortable. In the time we stayed in the hotel, we only ate here once. However, because we felt like eating somewhere else, we found a great Chinese restaurant in Almelo.

"Lunchroom 't Schild" is a Sandwich restaurant in the city center of Rijssen. The positive side of 't Schild is, that there is a large outside sit-down area, where you can enjoy watching the Saturday afternoon life in downtown Rijssen go by. The service of the waitresses was a bit bumbling and unpolished; to be encountered in the Netherlands unfortunately too often. The recommended home-made walnut cake was dry and nothing special and the hot ham and cheese Sandwich my companion ordered, was obviously assembled in haste without sufficient care and served without appropriate cutlery.Only the prices were in the expected (high Dutch) bracket. I shall avoid Lunchroom 't Schild in the future.

Ewoud en Anton maken de lekkerste gerechten van de omgeving, zowel afhaal als aan tafel. Het restaurant heeft een beetje oude uitstraling, echter het eten is helemaal top. Bestel eens een Loempia JLV, je weet niet wat je meemaakt. Het is een complete maaltijd.

We had an awesome time, my son and I. The pool was great, the restaurant served a great diner (although we had to wait quite some time before we got out food). We arrived by bike and next morning we were in the forest in no time.

Went there for a bowling session with dinner afterwards. Anything was done exactly as wished for by the organizers. Sometimes the waiters could be a bit more sensitive on empty glasses but all in all.. no complaints. The food was nice, the bowling was nice and all of us enjoyed for a very acceptable price.
