Restaurant Vesting Lounge

This is a trendy and stylish restaurant on the ground floor of the legendary Vesting Hotel (translated as fortress), which is located in the heart of the beautiful walled city of Naarden. This building was built in 1913 in traditionalist forms on behalf of the municipality of Naarden and served as a police station and vocational school. The building hosted exhibitions, but also stored archives. This beautiful building with a gable roof, transverse frames with half-windows and decorative anchors is classified as Neo-Renaissance.
There is a spacious terrace so you can enjoy your favorite meals with a breathtaking view of the historic center of Naarden and the large basilica cruciform church Sint-Vituskerk (or Grote Kerk 1380-1518).
Restaurant Vesting Lounge is a place where creativity and culinary excellence come together. There is an incredible team of professionals working here, they are super friendly, which gives a family atmosphere to the visitors of the establishment. The owner of the establishment, Wachter Muller, greeted us in the most welcoming and friendly manner, it was very pleasant! Combined with professional service, you will receive first-class dishes with new flavors and matching wines from an extensive wine list in a relaxed atmosphere. I very liked the cocktails here, especially the classic mojito🍋🥃 Enjoying this incredibly refreshing sweet and sour taste with hints of mint🌿, I admired from the window the Mannerist facades of the Town Hall and its ancient sandstone cross windows. This cultural and historical landmark, with a double-stepped gable in the Dutch Renaissance style, was built in 1601 and is located across the street from the restaurant.
The charming atmosphere, friendly staff and magnificent views of the ancient city make Vestiging a place you always want to return to.
Heel erg bedankt💙💛

I have no idea what caused these negative reviews. My experience was nothing but great.
Nice and welcoming staff, absolutely perfect steak (yes, it was a small portion but the temperature and seasoning was perfect), great sides, delicious salad and an amazing breakfast the next morning.

I agree though that they should implement a system for the staff to be sure which tables they run.

Other than that it was fantastic!

Delicious food, great atmosphere!

Capuchino is good and teriyaki sandwiches worth all the money.

Snap niet waarom het zoveel negatieve reviews krijgt. Lunch was lekker en vullend. Service was snel voor hoe druk het was. Broodje kroket met pickled onions en truffel mayo was erg lekker.

Wij hadden een erg fijne avond; het eten was goed, de bediening idem, de zaak ziet er fantastisch uit. Kortom, na de ‘aanloopproblemen’ heeft het restaurant de zaken meer dan goed op orde. Wij komen sowieso terug!

Uitstekend gegeten, vriendelijk personeel. Leuk concept van shared dining en van goede kwalitiet in een prima ambiance.

Leuke vergadering en top bediening die heel goed een bestelling kan opnemen ( uit het hoofd)

Goede drankjes en hapjes

Mooi gegeten met kerstgroep in de bibliotheek
Eten goed maar zou beter kunnen
Bediening zou iets meer aandacht kunnen geven

Leuke, knusse plek. Eten is prima en leuk opgediend.

Prima glutenvrije lunch , heerlijk dat t kan,❣

Leuk restaurant met open keuken.

I ate here with a group (6 people) for dinner. It was very busy. I never understand why restaurants refuse to try to dampen the noise level at all - everything in the place was hard surfaces and it was very loud. We spent the whole night shouting at each other. Service was very slow and they ran out of a fish course so one of my tablemates was able to order it but others could not, which was unfortunate. Food was fine, but not worth coming back for. Aubergine was a bit tough/chewy which I don’t like. It is a nice space -I might have enjoyed it more if it had been a bit quieter. Despite the beautiful location in the Vesting it was a bit disappointing.

It's an ok place, there can be many improvements: service was very slow, food options were limited. Taste wise, it was ok, nothing special.
If you want a glass of wine or a beer, it will be ok, but you shouldn't have high expectations about the place.

Hier wel lekker gelunched. Maar helaas duurde het allemaal erg lang en ging het erg rommelig. Een tafel naast ons kwam later zitten maar had al eten voordat wij een drankje hadden. Het eten is zeker de moeite waard met lekkere broodjes
