Reviews Summary
De Voerman offers a mixed dining experience, with many praising the quality and quantity of their steaks and the friendly service. However, some guests have been disappointed by issues like poorly cooked fries, cold sauces, and tough meat, leading to a desire for better quality for the price. The cozy atmosphere is a plus, but the intense heating and cramped spaces can be drawbacks for some visitors.
"Great place overall. Expensive but hearty meals, great steaks, but one steak was a bit chewy. I recommend the pork ribs."
Sam Fraser
"Lovely place. Great steaks, both quality and quantity. However, fries were badly cooked (old fat? Cooked too long?).
Atmosphere was nice, lovely interior. But heating was turned up to eleven.
Serving staff was very nice and friendly!"
Slashgate
"Very clean but very small room. We were in room 3 which is an attic room low ceiling. So you can only stand up in the centre of the room especially if your tall. You can't sit up in bed for the shape. Entry into the room is by a very narrow spiral stairs so if you have big luggage bags good luck. It's in a good position for the centre but on a busy road."
