In de Oude Stempel
In this former post office, stamps and letters have made way for the on-trend cuisine of Mark van Loon. This is a chef who doesn't hesitate to play with textures or bring bold combinations to the table. His creativity is complemented by his prowess in the art of making sauces – think a rich game jus to accompany the venison fillet. For something more low key, head to Puur, the brasserie next door.
TripAdvisor review sample · 4.0/5 · 80 reviews
In de Oude Stempel offers creative country cuisine with an average rating of 4.0/5. Food quality is generally praised for its delicious flavors, artistic presentation, and thoughtful touches like amuse-bouches and cheese boards. However, some diners found portions insufficient and criticized inconsistent meal pacing, leading to long waits. Service experiences vary significantly; while many appreciate the friendly and passionate staff, others report blunt remarks or lack of attentiveness. The ambiance in Steenbergen is generally lovely, but issues arise when the restaurant shares operations with a brasserie, resulting in noise, drafts from open doors, and uneven attention during quieter periods.
Suitable for diners seeking refined creative cuisine who can tolerate occasional service inconsistencies.
