Restaurant de Buren

De Buren never fails! We have been here on multiple occasions and have always been happy. There are multiple seating choices-outside underneath the roof, in front of the restaurant, on the terrace or indoors. Although it is a lot the staff is really organised and you never have to wait too long. They have a great memory even if you decide to change where you sit. When going on a Saturday I recommend booking in advance as the locals know this is the place to be! The staff is attentive, we were being asked throughout dinner if we needed anything. They spoke English, noticed a missing napkin after our starter almost immediately and explained the specials to us. Do not miss this and go for lunch on the terrace when the sun is out! ☀After dark, the cosy ambience indoors makes you feel really relaxed. There is no loud music, the beers on the menu change throughout the year and the signature onion soup is a MUST! 🥣👌🏻there are two warm options for vegetarians (Moussaka and pumpkin risotto) and a couple of veggie salads too! 🌱

Nice place to eat, child friendly (we came with 3 kids sitting at round table close back exit) and staff are welcoming

Really good food
It was a burger 🍔, but on another level.
Good chef 👨‍🍳 and helpfull waitresses

Yum! Super cool location, in the middle of the old town with a terrace section by the Mient (great views!) and another along the old fish market where you can eat at 'visbanken' (great experience!). Food was tasty and service was quick and friendly.

Despite being absolutely packed, service was really quick! Friendly staff and the food - bread, salad, warm goat's cheese with truffle honey dressing - was great. Had a veggie burger and chips there before - same friendly, speedy service and very tasty food.

Great friendly service and people
Lovely food
Amazing location
Went twice in three days

Great place, love the food!

I take all my guests here for lunch. The tuna melt panini is a taste-sensation. I reckon the staff here are the best in the whole city.

Friendly staff, and nice food, and good ambiance!

Geat service, fast with great communication. We had lunch there and Broodjes were tasty. There is a changing table for babies in the toilet.

Great service, delicious food (especially the spare ribs!)

Shop till you almost drop in the main shopping street and then flop into a chair at De Buren and enjoy a snack or a sweet from the menu and a long cool drink. The restaurant features an alfresco area that's actually positioned on a bridge over a canal. Good choice of beers.
A relaxing street ambience on a fine day.

Good food, drinking and service. Nice to sit outside with the heat-lampes.
Thanks for nice seafood

The food was delicious with high quality and good presentation. The service was excellent.

Great and local Food. Very friendly stuff. Prices are moderate. Will come back.

A cosy place to recover from a shopping expedition in the centre of Alkmaar. Good selection of local food and quite a choice of beers.

The best slow cooked ribs in Alkmaar!

Really nice place to share with friends.

My favourite restaurant in Alkmaar. Great food, service and atmosphere.

Great atmosphere and a nice terrace for when the weather is good!
