Bij Jansen en Jansen in Wijk 04 Gorssel

After a long wait, we were seen, even though only 3 tables were occupied. Not exactly a warm welcome from the waitress. Lobster soup was watery with a single stray crayfish. Chicken sandwich and salad were fine. Aside from the drink, the restaurant does not provide regular drinking water. Exclusively expensive bottled water. A one-time visit for us.

Had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious lunch. They take plenty of time for you.

Had a delicious meal, what an experience!

A lovely place for a quiet meal. No standard starter, main course, and dessert, but rather a delightful dining experience with special (smaller) dishes. Every dish is unique and delicious. It is an experience of pure delight. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely meal on the terrace. Very friendly service. Nice menu. We took the 4-course menu. It was actually difficult to choose from all the attractive 'in-betweens'.

Delicious lunch. Surprisingly tasty!

What a fun concept! Enjoying a delicious meal while the children have fun playing in the (indoor) playground. It took some getting used to eating with the kids making a bit of noise, but because of that, we were able to enjoy multiple courses.

What a lovely place! Very good service and delicious food at a good price. The facilities for the children are also good. A nice evening out for dinner with the kids without having to compromise on good food!

Beautifully presented dishes ("in-betweens"), a wide selection of fish, meat, or vegetarian options. The 4-course set menu is more than enough to go home well-filled; fries and salad can be served on the side for big eaters.

Beautifully situated, cozy, friendly staff, and really delicious food! Well worth the effort.

Thank you for your warm welcome and hospitality. This time we tried your charcuterie board. Delicious!!!!

Fantastic restaurant with delicious culinary preparation; the staff is also fantastic, and it was nice that the trainee came by. He did a great job too.

Friendly welcome. Spacious and warm modern interior. A nice menu concept. You choose three "in-betweens" (cold or warm) that are sized between a starter and a main course. It starts with an amuse-bouche and bread with lemon butter. Then delicious and beautifully presented "in-betweens" with leg of lamb, poultry, and pulled pork. Naturally, a delicious dessert to finish. The wine (Negroamaro) was also excellent. Friendly and polite service. Sufficient time between courses. We had made a reservation, but it was very quiet, hence the slightly less atmosphere. A place worth driving out of your way for. The photo shows the leg of lamb.

If you want to be surprised by culinary variations ... you have come to the right place.

Enjoying a nice week on vacation in the Achterhoek. Just checking where to eat and/or have drinks. We arrive around 5:00 PM for a drink and a charcuterie board. We are (still) the only guests. A charcuterie board can only be ordered until 4:00 PM? Why? What time does the average happy hour start here?

We had lunch here with friends on the terrace. The service is very friendly. The menu is diverse, and it's nice that you can put it together yourself. We had a wonderfully relaxed meal on the terrace, where we had a delightful afternoon.

Delicious croquettes, the tomato soup was a bit bland.

So disappointed! A family dinner with my 89-year-old mother was not allowed in the main restaurant because we now had two children in the party. In a canteen-like room full of children running back and forth, we ate our tiny bites. My mother couldn't follow the conversations. The dessert was shamefully simple. We were used to culinary intermediate courses, but there was little of that left now. I don't call this a 'course', but a disgrace! The fries are supposed to fill the stomach. A partition wall wasn't allowed to be closed. Upon leaving, we saw an almost empty main hall. So that was for 'adults only'. Good luck, management!

Cozy restaurant with delicious food and friendly service.

Very nicely done, children feel comfortable here.

Had an exquisite culinary experience with excellent service. Definitely worth a visit.

I got excited by the reviews, but honestly, I have rarely experienced anything like this. The food was tasty (especially the amuse-bouches and dessert, bavette was tough). But the service... the ladies were nice, but inefficient and slow; sandwiches took 45 minutes. You are only allowed to order 1 course at a time... sat for 5 hours, had 3 drinks.... So no, I would never go here on a Saturday night and wish the staff a better manager.

Had a delicious meal and were really spoiled! Finished off by the fireplace, top location!

If you are looking for a place to eat with the family, this is seriously a good option. In addition to an outdoor play area, they also have a large indoor play hall for children. You can choose to have lunch in this same hall, but a nicer option is to sit just one door down once the children are old enough. That saves a lot of crowds. The menu is fine, although we found the portions a bit on the small side compared to other restaurants for this price. There was a special buffet set up for children where they could help themselves, which is ideal! Located in a wooded area near a campsite. Keep in mind: on autumn days, you might have to take the car to the car wash again due to bumpy dirt roads. Conclusion: fun with children, good lunch, dinner is okay and perfect for family gatherings.

Fantastic how the children were looked after, and the parents had good food

The restaurant is located on a campsite, so you wouldn't expect fine dining at first. But that's not the case. There are two areas: one where you can sit with your children and let them enjoy the indoor playground (a sort of monkey town), and a second area for adults without children. The restaurant offers a four-course menu with amuse-bouche. You can choose your four courses from various appetizers, which can also be ordered separately. It's a very nice concept with excellent dishes. We had a delicious meal. There's also a skilled sommelier who can surprise you with delicious wines. We found the service very friendly. All in all, we had a wonderful evening. Thanks!

Adults enjoying coffee. Ordered a large jug of juice for the kids. One of the children doesn't like juice and wants water in her cup. She has to buy sparkling water. No water. Possible. Last time I'll be there.

Delicious food and fantastic staff. Highly recommended for a fun evening.

A great location for a delicious meal with children. Kids can play happily, and parents can enjoy their meals in peace. If you're sitting near the arcade, you might find it unsettling or annoying, especially if other parents aren't paying attention to their children.

Party for my Aunt who turned 92 SUPER GOOD for each other friendly service and super good food 10 with a star 👌

If food makes you happy, this is a restaurant that deserves a Michelin star. It's a beautiful spot surrounded by nature where you can truly enjoy a work of art on your plate that will certainly meet your expectations for culinary delights. I regularly dine here (through a social deal) with young people, friends, and family. Everyone gives it a solid 9. This restaurant is at the top of my top 10 in Gelderland.

Customer-friendly and child-friendly. We had a wonderful dinner with a group of friends while the young children (ages 3-8) had a great time. This was the first time we were able to enjoy a quiet meal. The family restaurant was full, but we were allowed to sit in the regular restaurant (fortunately, the noise level was quieter there). We had a 4-course meal for four adults and ordered fries and bread for the children. What delicious, surprising dishes, and plenty for everyone. We asked if the children's dishes could come at the same time, and they arrived quickly. We ended up spending 2.5 hours at the table, but it was wonderful! We'd love to come back!

We had a very nice meal with 8 people, a full evening program with nice staff, good service and good price-quality ratio

We ate and played here with a 1.5-year-old child. However, it took ages for our dishes to arrive. In three hours, we only received two in-between meals, and after asking three times where our food was, we finally received our last dish. This took over an hour and a half to wait. We ended up waiting for three and a half hours for a few small dishes. By then, my child was already hungry, and it was long past bedtime. Not a pleasant experience.

The food was delicious, very refined and prepared with great care. Lovely extra decorations for the birthday boy/girl. The service was pleasant. There's a separate play area for children, where they can burn off some energy, and you don't hear a peep from the restaurant. A nice special social deal menu.

Always a pleasant experience at Jansen & Jansen! Great atmosphere, nice and busy, and the food is truly fantastic. The service is friendly and professional. I love coming here!

Had lunch yesterday. What a warm welcome! Beautifully situated in the woods. Spacious restaurant and a lovely large terrace. Exquisite food, excellent service. Beautifully presented plates. Impressive wine list. We will definitely be back!

Excellent food with interesting concept. You can choose 'in betweens' that's kind of small portion of food so you can have multiple dish to try. All also delicious and beautiful. Super nice service also. **Updated Went there again in October 2025 Still excellent

We had such a wonderful time at Janssen & Janssen in Gorssel! A delicious four-course dinner by the crackling fire – a truly fantastic atmosphere. The service was top-notch: friendly, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to the guests. The staff exudes joy and professionalism, and you can feel it in everything they do. Plus, the price is very fair for the quality you receive. We will definitely be back. An absolute gem!

Looking for a delicious meal in a relaxed atmosphere with friendly service? Then you need to visit Jansen & Jansen in Gorssel! A great concept: a chef's amuse-bouche, followed by a choice of three dishes for the starter and main course (cold/hot, meat/fish/vegetarian), and dessert. All dishes are beautifully presented and taste delicious! Highly recommended!

The food was delicious! The dishes were incredibly beautiful and flavorful. Plenty of choices between fish, meat, and vegetarian. The dessert was also excellent! The service was also excellent, with friendly staff. The restaurant looks neat and inviting. There were plenty of drinks to choose from. We would definitely return.

After a visit to the MORE museum in Gorsel, we went here for lunch with 5 people. What a surprise that was! We had a three-course menu consisting of two "in-between" dishes and a dessert, freely chosen from the menu. Every single dish chosen by the five of us was a work of art. Beautifully presented and delicious in taste. They also have a lovely wine list and a super enthusiastic sommelier who really knows a lot about wines and explains it in detail (upon request). All in all, it was a delight to have lunch here and certainly worth coming back for, although it is quite far from where I live.

We thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful concept. Superb food and a varied, delicious menu, but the service really completed the experience at the table. Smooth, fast, and polite. We would love to come back again.

We enjoyed a four-course lunch via Social Deal. The food was well-seasoned, of excellent quality, and more than sufficient. The service was very friendly, professional, and provided good explanations. This was certainly not the last time we visited.

Besides a good atmosphere, also very friendly staff, beautiful location close to the Gorsselse heath (Oct. 2025, watch out for stray Scottish cattle, keep at least 25 meters distance...), delicious food with culinary delights if desired, good social deal offers, conclusion: recommended!

Asked for lunch, but it took a long time. Left.

Super tasty food and knowledgeable staff

We had a lovely evening at Jansen en Jansen. Thanks Mandy and Jayden for the great care! If we are in the area again, we will definitely come back!

We went for dinner with 4 people, one child included. Service was very good, polite waitresses. We ordered drink and the waittime was between 15-20 minutes. Then we ordered a starter after our drinks arrived such as bitterballen, had to wait 30 minutes. And when we ordered our drinks we ordered the Dalmon 2x and Ravioli 1x. It took 2 hours for our dinner, and upon arrival we saw such small portions. We were really hungry but we're very disappointed. Fortunately our child of 5 had a lot of fun in the play area. But we wouldn't come back again, and I wouldn't recommend it.

What delicious food. And what peace and quiet.

Nice restaurant, plenty of play activities for the kids. The food was very good; we had the duck breast, pulled pork, and lamb loin. They were really good.

Couldn't get a spot. It was full, she said.

Very friendly service, nice extensive walking package, was great

What a wonderful experience! A fantastic variety of dishes. The kitchen staff put a tremendous amount of love into the dishes, and you can taste it. We'll definitely be back.

We had a wonderful meal on the peaceful terrace. It's a great concept where you can order three dishes plus a dessert. You also get an amuse-bouche as part of the menu. There's even a small appetizer on the house beforehand. And what great service! The staff is super friendly and has excellent wine pairing suggestions. We thoroughly enjoyed it. We'll definitely be back. Small tip: add a drinks menu so we know what you offer in addition to the wines. 😁 For those who have to drive... 😉 Question: how often does the menu change?

Heerlijk gegeten voor een prima prijs. 4 gangen voor 45 euro kom je nagenoeg niet meer tegen. Aanrader als je in omgeving woont of verblijft.

Really nice lunch in the Gorsselse woods. Nice formula with a choice of many small dishes in a menu at a fixed price. With two pieces plus delicious dessert our bellies were full, but not too full to still work. Nice wines and not too expensive wines by the glass, enthusiastic young sommelier.

surprising menu and accompanying dishes, nice people, top service

Good food and lots of play space for the kids

Beautiful surroundings. Hospitable welcome..delicious 3 course lunch. Price quality certainly ok. Enjoyed with our friends...recommended

Social deal, friendly welcome, delicious coffee and cake, walking map and finally a snack platter with a drink. Well maintained and beautiful location

A few more parking spaces. The shoulder of the road is very slippery in wet weather. Otherwise all good.

Delicious food and ideal with small children.

Jansen & Jansen, located in the wooded area of ​​Gorssel, offers a pleasant terrace on a summer day where you can have a bite to eat. The service is attentive and friendly, which contributes to the relaxed atmosphere. However, the interior is somewhat dated and dark, which detracts from the experience. The four-course menu was tasty, but the portions were very small. Given the pricing, a more generous size would make the total experience more complete and be more in line with expectations for such a menu.

Last minute reserved. What a delicious menu, a real treat. After offering to help move something, we even got a free drink on the house. Too bad it's not near us, otherwise I would come here more often. Keep it up!

We had a delicious meal and delicious wines and we enjoyed it very much 👍🏻

I don’t know. Everything was closed.

Ate with 3 families. It took almost 4 hours before we had all the dishes. Fortunately the children enjoyed themselves there. You pay a lot for what you get. We were very disappointed with the food. The service was also bad. Plates after the different dishes remained standing. No cutlery received. Not for us again.

Delicious food, choice of many different starters, fish, meat or vegetarian, hot or cold. Tasty desserts. Nice, friendly girls in the service. We were on our way back from Zutphen to Amsterdam and happened to end up in this restaurant. We will definitely come back!

Food was fine and nice playground for the children. After ordering drinks I asked at the bar if I could have some water for my 5 year old daughter who had a sore throat while waiting for drinks. This was not allowed, but we could order spa blue. I explained to the lady that we had already ordered drinks but that my daughter wanted some water for now since the drinks were not there yet. And it also took a long time before we got drinks. The response was still no. Then I wanted to get water from the toilet tap with the plastic cup that was on our table because my daughter was in pain. I was stopped by the barmaid. Another guest who saw all this happening then offered me water from her child's water bottle. I was really surprised about this antisocial behavior. This while we had ordered several courses of food and drinks with a large group. We are talking about water for a child. Not exactly family oriented this behavior.

Super fun restaurant for children's parties! Snack buffet was very nice. They can play in the space next door. There was a big jug of lemonade ready for them. We have only had lunch there ourselves but will definitely come back for dinner! Thanks.

Atmospheric restaurant located in a beautiful, wooded area. In addition to the accessible lunch menu, you can also order small (slightly more luxurious) dishes here which tasted very good. We started with a luxurious snack platter and extra bread with dips. Deliciously filled with mackerel salad, sausages, nuts, bitterballen, crispy chicken pieces, cheese, pulled pork, olives and delicious tapenades. Afterwards we ordered some 'inbetweens'. I had the beef bavette with asparagus and potato mousse and a dessert from the chef (mango pannacotta with dried apple, coffee cake crumbs with fresh sorbet ice cream. Both super tasty! This was enough for me. We sat on the cozy terrace and when it got a bit chilly we went back inside. There is an indoor and outdoor playground where the children can play. Valuable addition. I didn't have to worry about it. Friendly service.

Had a great meal at Jansen en Jansen in Gorssel. An attractive menu with exciting dishes that are served particularly beautifully. Very friendly service. We will be back!

Second visit with a year in between. Location is beautiful, in the woods, silence and lots of play area for kids and in- and outside sittings. Quality of the food is good, one can say it looks very high class. However! Service and hospitality is worthless. First time we visitited, last year, our reservation was missing. Lots of trouble when we got there (group of 6 adults, 3 kids), eventually they made arrangements to fix it and we had a nice dinner. This time my mother in law made the reservation via phone call for 6 adults and 3 kids (and a baby) which she all made clear. She even checked and called back again after a few days to make sure everything was correct this time. When we got there they only had a reservation for 6 people in total. When we said that my family alone has 5 (2 parents 3 kids) and my in-laws (2 elderly 75+ and my brother- and sister-in-law ánd their 13 yo son would join, they needed to discuss weather they had enough table space. We were seethed at a large indoor table and waited for the rest of our party. When my parents-in-law came we told them about the reservation trouble. My in-laws went to the woman at the desk to ask about it and for what seemed to be the hostess of the evening, came right to us too. She kept saying they only had written down for a party of 6 including kids and basically saying it wasn’t her fault. They had other reservations and thuss couldn’t do anything else. She said she had a picknick table made for us outside where we could sit but there was no room for the kids. I asked her, are you seriously expecting 2 75+ yo and 4 adults to sit on a wooden picknick table without back support, for hours? Well, since she didn’t know what kind of people our party would be, she didn’t see the problem. She then proceeded to tell my mother in law that some people are actually smart by expressing what they needed at their reservation, for instance a high chair for a baby. My mother in law teared up and I said to the hostess she crossed a line by suggesting my mother isn’t smart by not mentioning our ages at the time of our reservation. I said this is unacceptable to treat people this way! My mother in law then again said she was sure to have mentioned we were a party of 6 adults ánd 3 kids (and a baby)! The woman said she would wait on others first and then try to move some things around on the terras to accommodate our wish to sit outside. Eventually we had a terrible experience, the service was lazy and late. They forgot multiple things, like the bread basket on the house, asking our order twice and forgetting to clear the table of empty glasses and bottles. I wish we left. I wanted to but since we were with a group it felt undoable. And where would we go then, since it was mother’s day. So we ate, left earlier then the rest of our part and hoped my father in law didn’t leave a tip.

Bad service. Management has nothing under control. They can't handle groups. There were 9 of us, including 3 children, not even very big. But reservations had again not gone well, and not last year either. Then she wanted to put us at a picnic table and 4 children between 0-13 years old had to sit on her lap or play. No backrest and then a grandfather and grandmother of 75+! I found it very customer unfriendly and inhumane. When the lady who seemed to be in charge felt it necessary to point out that other people are at least "smart" by indicating who is coming (ages) when making the reservation, tears came to my mother-in-law's eyes and I was angry. I said she is crossing a line with this and really can't say this! In the end, she first went to provide other people with their drinks and then see if she could move something so that we could sit on the terrace. That worked, but the way she communicated it was below all standards of decency. The service then remained slow, forgetful and inauthentic. At the end of the 2nd course the manager tried to make up for it by spontaneously asking if we wanted another drink instead of us having to ask for it ourselves. Never again for us and I will not recommend it to anyone! Our 4-year-old daughter also didn't want to go there anymore “because it all takes so long, mom”.

We were just after four and couldn't order the drinks platter anymore so we left again

Ate at this restaurant again. Another great experience with sublime flavors. If you really want to enjoy a culinary treat for an evening, then have dinner here. Below is the first experience from a year ago. What fantastic restaurants. All dishes very tasty and full of surprising combinations of flavors. This is an absolute must for enthusiasts......

Visited Jansen and Jansen together with my wife. Restaurant is located almost in the middle of the forest. Cycling for a few minutes in a really dark forest has something 'sobering' 😀. But of course we have not forgotten the food, the relaxed atmosphere and the varied tables. We highly recommend this restaurant. Whether or not you have been married for 42 years.

Place to come back. Delicious food and good service.

Great opportunity to let the children play for a while. And enjoy a snack and drink.

Delicious food and drinks. When asked for a glass of tap water, the laughable answer is: "Too much lime in the water. We don't drink it ourselves." A reason never to go back and ask the water company what kind of excuse this is.

Really fine. Beautiful small dishes and still go home full and satisfied at the end of the evening.

Heerlijk gegeten meteen vriendelijke bediening. Leuke kaart met inbetween gerechtjes. Leuk plekje in het bos om te zitten

Nice to eat something not so standard for once

Wanneer je recent vanuit het westen naar het oosten van het land bent verhuisd is het weer even opbouwen waar je favoriete restaurants zijn. De eerste hebben we te pakken. Een fijn ontvangst door een vriendelijke dame, een slimme kaart voor lunch en diner met in-between gerechten. Wij waren er voor de lunch. Het eerste gerecht kwam vlot. Een tweede dame kwam uitruimen en stelde zich netjes voor na een intro dat we haar nog niet aan tafel hadden gehad. Dit kwam heel professioneel over. Bediening met aandacht voor de gast. De aubergine en bieten gerechtjes waren precies goed op smaak. Bij het tweede gerecht, kalfsburger(tje) en buikspek een portie friet en salade gedeeld. Was ruim voldoende. Na aangegeven te hebben niet gek te zijn op veel chocolade en caramel was het verrassing dessert een heel fijne verassing van citroen hangop met pufjes van citroengel en honing ijs. Het laatste heel subtiel van smaak en alles mooi in balans. We hebben genoten en zijn benieuwd naar de uitvoering van de dinerkaart.

Worthless. We waited for fifteen minutes and were then told that we could not have lunch due to understaffing.

Cozy, fun indoor playground for the kids

Heerlijke gerechten en vriendelijke bediening. De weg naar het restaurant voelt als een Belgische snelweg maar het eten was het meer dan waard.

Delicious, pure but delicious dishes, beautifully prepared, haute cuisine but enough food! Highly recommended: the sea bass tartare, the pork belly and Panna cotta, but the rest was also perfect.

Ate here with friends. Surprisingly fun and, above all, delicious dishes, beautifully served in a relaxed atmosphere! We will be back!

Prima diner. Leuk concept, drie keuzegangen en een dessert. Gerechten varieerde van redelijk (Wild Zwijn, Zeebaars) tot uitmuntend (Kalfsburger, Hertenbiefstuk, Aubergine). Ongedwongen sfeer en lekkere wijn, wel wat aan de prijs.

What a nice restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. Delicious food and tasted many wonderful flavors. Friendly staff, a real welcome feeling. Highly recommended!

Ate here with a group of 16 people. Service was slow and we had to place orders several times. Drink delivery was between 15-30 minutes. The food tasted very good, but not all dishes were warm. One person had to wait for his food until after everyone else had finished it before it was served. This restaurant has potential, but this was very disappointing.

Delicious small dishes expertly prepared

Nice quiet restaurant close to walking and cycling area on the edge of the forest. Nice, quiet food and drinks. Lots of choice on the menu. Nice helpful staff.

Delicious food Beautiful restaurant in the middle of the forest Nicely decorated Friendly staff

Enjoyed a delicious meal with some more special dishes through a choice of multiple dishes, so you can taste more and that's fun. For me the guinea fowl and monkfish. My choice afterwards is the guinea fowl. The service was good and friendly. Only there was some talking while I was praying, I'm assuming it wasn't seen because this rarely, if ever, happens in the many times a year I go out to eat. I think the ambiance is chic and the warm colors have been used, which makes you feel at home.

We komen binnen en na de mededeling dat we een tafel kunnen uitzoeken worden we meer dan 10 minuten genegeerd terwijl er maar 2 andere stellen zaten. Duistere ambiance met duistere service. Toen we de barman en het koffiedrinkende personeel gedag zeiden bleef de reactie beperkt tot een “oh”. Nu bij Gastvrij De Hoek, een aanzienlijk betere locatie.

Excellent coffee and delicious spoon cakes. Then another cocktail and extensive drinks board. Friendly service, attentive owner and fantastic kitchen crew. Very satisfied. Nice place, quiet location, beautiful outdoor terrace and an outdoor playground and an indoor playground for the children. There is good parking space directly at the business in the wooded (walking) area.

Tasty small dishes from which you can choose something per round. Great concept
