About
If you're a fan of nachos, I highly recommend trying them at Eetcafé Gulle Graef Hilversum. They serve the most delicious nachos I've ever tasted. The vegetarian pumpkin pizza may not sound like a big deal, but it has an amazing flavor that goes beyond just being called a pizza. The vegetarian options are reasonably priced and even meat eaters will enjoy this place.
Why you should go
- Enjoy delicious ribs, burgers, risotto, salmon cooked to perfection bursting with flavor
- Try the best nachos ever recommended by a reviewer
- Experience excellent service in a cozy environment suitable for nights out with friends or family

It was a really nice place, the food was great, the staff was lovely. It's really cosy and recommended. There is also a parking lot like 5 mins away.
I had the pleasure of dining here yesterday, and must say it was an excellent experience. From the moment we arrived, the waiter who greeted us was very friendly and accommodating. We were a group of 9, including a big dog, and we originally wanted to sit outside on the terrace to not bother other clients. However, the waiter convinced us to come inside and he found us a spacious area that was separated from the rest of the restaurant.The service was exceptional, as the waiter gave water to our furry companion and the other waitresses were always attentive and checking on us. The environment was very welcoming, and we felt right at home. The ambiance was perfect, and it was the perfect setting for a night out with friends.Now, let's talk about the food. It was nothing short of amazing! We had a mix of dishes, including burgers, ribs, risotto, and salmon. Everything was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The salmon was cooked just right, and it had a unique and delightful taste. The burgers were juicy and flavorful, while the ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender. The risotto was creamy and rich, and it had a perfect texture.Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to enjoy delicious food in a welcoming environment. The service was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious. It's the perfect spot for a night out with friends or a family gathering, and even for furry friends.
I wanted to say 'you get what you pay for' but actually, no. Be prepared to pay around 60E for two people, not an unsubstantial amount and i would say normal for most restaurants in the area. You should be able to get some fresh, decently prepared food anywhere for these prices, but it seems this place has their 'eetcafe' fare elevated to restaurant status somehow, and isnt able to keep up with their large menu. A pity that people keep coming to these mediocre places in hordes, and don't demand better quality. Service was mediocre as everything else, waiters didn't seem happy to be there.

We gathered reviews from Google and Tripadvisor, and summarized helpful tips as well as commonly mentioned things others might find useful.
- Visit during weekdays to avoid crowds and potentially better service
- Consider trying the three-course low budget summer menu for fresh produce at great value
- If you have allergies or specific dietary needs not on the menu, ask the friendly staff who may accommodate your request
- Opt for ground beef or chicken toppings on nachos if desired despite it not being a Mexican restaurant specialty
Reviews
Eetcafé Gulle Graef Hilversum offers a mixed experience according to reviewers. While some found the prices high for the quality of food and service, others praised the welcoming staff, delicious dishes like ribs and salmon, and accommodating service even for furry companions. The ambiance is described as cozy and perfect for gatherings with friends or family. Vegetarian options like pumpkin pizza are highlighted as surprisingly tasty, while nachos receive special praise. However, there were mentions of small portions, food poisoning incidents with lackluster responses from management, but overall positive experiences with good value meals.

Excellent ribs, all our meals were perfect. Coming back
If you are a fan of nachos I SERIOUSLY recommend trying them here. They serve the best nachos I ever tried. The vegetarian pumpkin pizza sounds like its not that big a deal but the taste is truly amazing. I think they are selling out short by calling it a pizza. The vegetarian options are not too expensive and this is a great place for meat eaters as well! The staff is nice, the atmosphere is really cosy. It is definitely a family restaurant with a comfortable yet sophisticated vibe.
