Reviews Summary
Diners consistently praise Spijshuis de Dis for its superb, authentic Dutch cuisine, highlighting the fresh seafood, flavorful meat dishes, and excellent value. The cozy, traditional ambiance and warm, professional service contribute to a highly recommended dining experience, making it a standout in Delft.
"Superb atmosphere, great tasting food, lovely service and right in the heart of the town! Could not pick a better restaurant for a dinner with a loved one in Delft if we tried! My wife and I did not have a reservation, however we were given a table within 10 minutes of walking in on Holy Saturday this year (19-04-2025). As you can see from the photos attached, the plating was next to none (Delft blue was clearly at the forefront) and the food was so appetising to eat! My wife ordered the De Zucchini and was extremely pleased with her choice, as the meal was clearly created with the vegetarian palette in mind (rather than, like in some other establishments, where the vegetarian option is the same as the carnivore one minus the meat). The bill was presented in a very sweet way too - Delft blue pottery clog for the win! The toilets are on the ground floor, which is good as you dont have to climb stairs to go and wash your hands. The tables are quite closely spaced together, but that did not bother us. However it would be challenging to navigate with a stroller and/or a wheelchair. The ambiance is typically Dutch, including a tulip vase with real tulips (at the entrance to the restaurant). Both my with and I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant to anyone and everyone! You'll enjoy your time at Spijshuis De Dis without a doubt!"

"Great food, enjoyed at the square in front of the restaurant during a warm summer evening with a slight breeze. The traditional foods were great. We had the 'proeverij' or taste menu where you are severed multiple dishes with each a different nature and accents. Overall a great experience. The staff was very kind and fast delivery"

"We enjoyed our dinner and time here (17 April 2025). The chef/owner happened to be in the dining room when we entered. He was very welcoming, had a chat with us and helped us find a table even though we didn’t reserve one. The food was delicious, the ambience and service was warm, it was a good experience at the end of our tour in Delft. Thank you so much."

Dit is de top vijf beste restaurants in Delft volgens Tripadvisor
Het Hollandse restaurant op de Beestenmarkt is in Delft misschien nog niet héél bekend, maar stiekem is Spijshuis de Dis wereldberoemd. Daar weet Koos meer over: ‘Restaurants die zichzelf afficheren als ‘Hollands culinair’ zijn nogal zeldzaam. Spijshuis De Dis maakt deze claim helemaal waar: heerlijke vleesstoofpotten en visgerechten, uitstekende afwisselende desserts (gebak, zoet, ijs, fruit) worden vriendelijk en behulpzaam opgediend in een knusse bruin café achtige ambiance.
What to Do in Delft
I’m not kidding when I say that one of my all time favorite restaurants in the Netherlands was Spijshuis in Delft. Dear god, what a spectacular meal. I’m glad Spijshuis isn’t in my home town, or else I’d be the size of the Nieuwe Kerk’s tower.
