Restaurant De Karpendonkse Hoeve

The restaurant had a very nice atmosphere. It's very clearly hidden in a non presumptuous place. The food was very tasty and interesting, definitely a lovely experience.

We had a 5 course dinner menu, which is highly recommendable. The beginning was lacking a bit of a “kick” in the taste, but with each next course the flavors of dishes became brighter and more interesting. Pleasant atmosphere, ambience and the staff. We enjoyed the food and the place.

Make sure you are seated in the conservatory. Knowledgeable and very friendly staff

Karpendonske Hoeve gives the impression of a restaurant stuck in a glamorous past. Everything about the restaurant, from the decor to the food reminds one of this. The furniture, the cutlery, the ambience all gives a hint of something very expensive and excellent quality, but from decades ago. The food is inline with the impression of the ambience, old but gold. They seem to do traditional flavours well. But not a hint of experiments, creativity and something original. For me personally, Karpendonske hoeve did not meet expectations. Perhaps they cater to an idea long in the past and only upheld by people of the past. The skills, knowledge, culture created in places such as this are precious. If the restaurant wants not only to invite the present but lead the way into the future, it must reinvent itself.

The overall experience was good, because everybody was really nice and polite and energetic, but the food was not as good as promised. Really small portions for a high price.
