7/10Service was friendly an gave us some asked specials for free (new dish because we had the same twice, some more bread for free, water for free) but the dishes weren’t as tasty as we thought they would be. A lot raw food (fish & meet), all in all the dishes could need a little bit more salt. Good quality but unfortunately just not our kind of taste..

6.5/10Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. The food was good, not fantastic, but we waited a long time between dish 1 and 2, and it felt like it was not enough people at work with a full booked restaurant.

10/10Very nice place - delicious food, friendly service, quiet and cozy atmosphere Improvement suggestions: The food itself was a bit on the pricey side we thought (for such small portions), and there was quite a long wait time. There was also a malfunction with the card payment at the end. Still we loved the experience, and will definitely be back!

10/10Great food, attentive service and overall great value. We went for a five course menu with wine pairing and were very happy about our choice. Lovely experience, thanks to all the staff!

10/10Wonderful restaurant! The food was excellent, the wine was paired very well with the food, and the service was top notch. Definitely recommend this restaurant to others. We had the 5-course dinner, and it took approximately 1 hour between each course, so set a lot of time aside for this experience!

10/10Very fine dining for surprisingly little money. This restaurant punches way above its weight for the budget that you’ll spend. The 5 course surprise menu was nicely balanced with fish and meat dishes (flexible if necessary), perfectly presented by a very capable and friendly staff and matched with very original wines. Compliments to the sommelier who managed to serve wines that we’ve never tasted before. A genuine thank you for this great experience! Highly recommended. We’d eat there two days in row if it weren’t for their closing day. Respect and keep on the great work.

9.5/10Staff was very friendly and welcoming (and helpful)! The food was great, very tasty & well prepared and good value for money. The wine was very good but my husband would’ve liked it if there was a better beer menu. Also, the restaurant is situated in the city centre but it’s not a top location for a restaurant in my opinion. All in all: I would certainly recommend this restaurant due to good food & friendliness of staff!

8/10We shared a sampler of the appetizers and desserts and each had our own main dish. All the desserts were exceptional, the appetizers more of a range (though the housemade bread and butter are worth being a course all by themselves). The one of us who chose the veal loin found it beautifully prepared and presented but somewhat bland; the one who chose the plaice found it as hoped. Choices of wine by the glass were limited but solid and reasonably priced, and the bartender made excellent recommendations for pairing them with the food. Total cost was 102 EU with two cocktails, four glasses of wine and an after-dinner coffee drink. We considered this quite reasonable. The quality was better than the average bistro but not exceptional.

10/10The meal and service was very good and also value for money, one small oversight was that our drinks order was not taken before ordering our meals.

10/10Friendly service, and we were there early so it was quiet. The restaurant ambiance is very nice with a relaxed atmosphere and professional service. The food presentation was attractive and elegant with lots of clear, contrasting tastes.

About this restaurant
Restaurant Houdt van Eten in Groningen is niet meer weg te denken uit de stad. Het restaurant onderscheidt zich door het gebruik van verse producten en doordat alles wat uit de keuken komt homemade is. Zo maken ze de verse friet zelf, staan er prachtige vegetarische gerechten op de kaart, is de vis dagvers en de entrecote biologisch. Een lekkere, verse en gevarieerde kaart dus! Houdt van Eten heeft een restaurant gerealiseerd vanuit de gedachte dat het precies moet voldoen aan de wensen van de gast. Je kunt er dus een hoog serviceniveau verwachten en een relaxte ongedwongen omgeving. Het restaurant is ruim opgezet, je zit in comfortabele stoelen en de prachtige, houten bar trekt mooi de aandacht voor een lekker drankje. De muziek past prima en is niet te hard en het attente personeel is alert en vriendelijk. Meekijken in de keuken kan, want die is open. Zo zie je precies hoe je gerechten bereid worden. Transparantie is een belangrijk onderdeel van de service van Houdt van Eten! Van 1 juli t/m 31 juli komt Houdt van Eten in Groningen ook met een nieuw maandmenu. 5 gangen genieten! Begin met dungesneden zalm, daarna een gele paprikasoep. Als hoofdgerecht kies je voor de gebraden eendenborstfilet of de zeebaarsfilet waarna je afsluit met kaas én een proeverij van zoete nagerechten. Lekker!
