Café - Bar "De Kater" in Centrum

4 stars only because my first hamburger wasn't fully cooked. Resolved well, tasty hamburger, otherwise it would have been 5 stars.

A little too salty for my taste (Spicy chicken)

Tasty food and many types of beer on tap! Friendly staff

Nice place, delicious food. Trusted quality.

Nice terrace but pricey. €4.20 for a small cola.

Friendly staff and delicious food

Had a delicious lunch, real beef croquettes, great cheeseburger, super service, and lovely on the cozy terrace! Highly recommended!

Cozy cafe with a wide selection of drinks and dishes. The staff is friendly and the location is great.

Delicious food with a beautiful view at the church square

Ordering via QR code is convenient. But paying per order and then asking for a tip in that app before it’s delivered... well, that’s a bit less appealing. Moreover, it would be nice if a few napkins were included with the bitterballen. Perhaps that thought would have been worth a tip. Otherwise, a nice place where we enjoy stopping by for a while.

My boyfriend and I were ridiculously ignored by all the bartenders. There was only one who talked to us. We lasted half an hour to be attended twice, so we spent more than 2 hours in the restaurant. Absolutely shameful. Even one bartender gave me a coffee instead of the water I ordered... really improvable. Also, the bathroom was broken.

Forced coziness is not cozy, sorry.

Went there tonight. The service and waitstaff were really much worse than when they were still two separate restaurants. There were two waiters on a much too large terrace. It was a good thing the terrace wasn't full, otherwise the waiting times would have been even longer. The service was disorganized and the waiters didn't pay close attention to when the drinks ran out. Ordered a steak. Apparently, it couldn't be medium/raw. So I ordered medium and got it well done. I sent the dish back. I had to wait 20 minutes for a new piece of meat, while my table companions were already able to start eating. To put it mildly, I only received my food when my table companions had already finished their dishes. How long can it take to cook a new steak? Such a waste... And then you would think the waiter would at least ask if we wanted another drink, but that didn't even occur to them.

Classic menu, not much choice for vegetarians or vegans. It is a shame that they opted for a burger menu when updating it; you find those everywhere.

Okay, it was very hot... but we regularly went well over half an hour without a drink. We agreed beforehand that, as a large group, we wouldn't order via the QR code, but just at the table. Otherwise, a nice place, a wide selection of drinks, and a delicious steak 👍🏼

Sad food here; meal salad with crispy chicken should be just a little more than leaf lettuce with bland, torn-up cheap chicken schnitzel and sad dressing. Perfect name, though.

Had a tasty meal (schnitzel) and delicious beer (Wageningse Kater)

Ordering with a QR code is very easy, and you don't have to wait to pay because you do so directly with your QR order.

You can always come here for a nice meal or drink on the terrace or inside.

It was a nice and cozy terrace and the service was fine.

Ended up here for a quick bite and a drink; we had nachos and non-alcoholic cocktails. You can order yourself, and it gets delivered lightning fast by skilled but not really 'present' staff. Good concept for tourists, but I miss the interaction and connection with the staff. Not bad, but not top-notch either.

Had a delicious meal and a cozy atmosphere.

Truly terrible service. You order a mint tea with honey. If you ask for a green tea bag with it, that’s not possible because then you have to order an extra tea. Then they forgot the honey as well. Really customer-unfriendly! The service and atmosphere of back then: Time is gone!

Ordering on your phone, worthless service. And then asking for a tip while the table is still empty. You guys are really something.

Not complicated, just pretty good food, friendly service, and a good location.

A gorilla came by and damaged my glass, otherwise everything was fine

Amazing atmosphere Fantastic food

Service fine, coffee good! But €5 for a slice of dried-out factory apple pie😮!!

We had lunch here yesterday. After waiting for over 20 minutes and watching people who took a seat on the terrace after us being served first, we decided to use the QR code to order. I had loqded fries spicy chicken (see photo), which cost €15 for no more than 2 handles full of fries and 5 pieces of chicken with some sauce. I understand that chicken is expensive, but this price is downright ridiculous. My companion had a burger with fries for the same price, and that came with much more fries than my dish. Furthermore, we ordered a large cola for an extra euro, only to receive a regular one. All in all, the food was tasty, but I wouldn't be quick to return with such prices and ridiculously small portions.

We enjoyed the sunshine on the terrace. The lunch we ordered, including the club sandwich, was very basic, except for the price. The staff was friendly, though.

March 3, 2026 Went here this afternoon. The patio wasn't too crowded. I sat there for 15 minutes while I spoke to a server about an order. The server has yet to come. But I left. This is the second time this has happened to me. If you go here for coffee, be sure to allow plenty of time.

I left with a hangover. I was with a disabled person on an electric two-wheeler. We wanted a cup of coffee and a quick battery charge. The waiter agreed, but the owner refused. I was stunned. This had never happened to me before. The arguments: "It costs money" and "you decide the rules of your restaurant yourself." This man has no understanding of hospitality. I walked off to a café where we were given a friendly welcome. I'll never set foot in that place again.

Enjoy the treats in a cozy and delicious way.

Nice shop in the middle of Wageningen

We ate there today with friends, but we'll never go back. One person in our group ordered two appetizers but wanted them to be served along with the other as a main course. The appetizers arrived promptly, but the other dishes didn't arrive. We waited a total of 1.5 hours for this. We repeatedly asked the staff where our food was. They were supposed to ask in the kitchen for us, but they never returned. Just as we were about to put on our coats and eat somewhere else, they brought our food. I could barely manage an apology, but we'd been hearing it all evening. The atmosphere was ruined for the rest of the evening. And when we paid, they didn't offer anything for the inconvenience. Truly awful. They won't be seeing us again.

€4 for a cup of tea? No problem, but why not make it a celebration? What a sad situation. A cheap tea bag next to a (half-empty) cup of water and honey from a plastic squeeze bottle?? What a missed opportunity.

A dinner for seven people. There was some confusion about the burgers that had been ordered and were then served cold. It was resolved, but as a result, one person received their food later than the rest. I also think the quality has deteriorated significantly. A real shame. I don't think I'll be dining at the hangover again.

It used to be a great place, but now you pay €12 for two hot chocolates with a dollop of whipped cream, or €9 for nine mini bitterballen... Ridiculous prices for a small town like Wageningen. Too bad, we used to go there occasionally.

Today I had a cup of coffee on the patio, where the outdoor heater turned out to be broken: 4 euros per cup. I've never paid so much for coffee before. The coffee is nothing special. The cup has very little capacity, and the whipped cream is from a regular can. Apparently, the renovation costs of Café de Tijd for the expansion of Café de Kater should be passed on to the customer.

Delicious food, friendly staff, and a very cozy atmosphere. We thought the portions were quite large, especially for what you sometimes get in the Netherlands, so it was really great! I would definitely recommend the salad with crispy chicken 😋

I didn't think the food had improved. Lack of love and attention to the food.

We had lunch here. Service was good and quick, drinks were fine as well. My partner had a sandwich with goat's cheese which also tasted okay. I ordered the sandwich with salmon and guacamole, and was quite disappointed that the guacamole was not freshly made but was a chemical green sauce that tasted nothing like avocado and probably came out of a jar. Not sure if this is standard, or if they had run out of acocado's that day, but when I pay €15 for a sandwich I expect fresh guacamole. The bread was also kind of stale. Would come back for a drink and a snack, but I'm not sure about lunch/dinner.

Cozy place for a drink in the city center

The food is typical Dutch. Highlights are local branded beer and that you can order via qr code without waiting for the waiter.

Mediocre food for a less moderate price

You order everything using a QR code on the table. Your order arrives within a few minutes. There's no waiter present. A bit odd, but fine.

Two sparkling water bottles: €8, please. Ordering via QR code, payment had to be made within... well... that's pointless, isn't it? Paying more is fine, but make sure you provide good service.

Relatively fast service. Clean, beautiful and quiet environment. Clean toilets. Inside the church square.

The service was a little delayed

Fine not extraordinary.. clay e aapassi gen op maaltijd zijn wijlijk.

A lovely place for an evening drink. They also serve good food. The staff is friendly, and the blankets on the terrace really complete the experience. My only downside is that you're often surrounded by smoke from people lighting up, but other than that, the hangover is definitely our go-to for an evening drink.

Wageningen's most charming terrace for drinks and snacks! Ordering is easy using the QR code on the table. Fantastic!

The food was delicious. Good value for money. The option to play a game, and the music was pleasant (not too loud).

Nice location, attentive people and delicious food.

Too expensive, not a nice atmosphere, and the cake was not good.

Incredibly rude and unhelpful personel. I ordered online, paid and they just claim they didn't receive my order and are not willing to help. Despite me sharing the order number and making clear that I have paid they still refused to double check and chose to instead take my money and not make my food

Glas bier niet vol, wijn matige kwaliteit, sangria waterig en voor 50% ijsklonten. 1 van de 4 van ons gezelschap moest een kwartier langer wachten tot drankje kwam. Bitterballen de meest eenvoudige die we ooit hebben gegeten.

Great place, man. Everything looks good, nice young staff. That's not what I'm talking about. I ordered a coffee verkeerd for 4€. And what did I get for that. We asked the staff, is this right, never seen so little before. 1 sip and it was gone. A coke also 4€. We're really not whining. They'll say personnel costs, purchase prices blah blah. But let's be honest, these prices nowadays are completely out of order.

Not recommended for lunch; impersonal service - ordering via QR code and food was of low quality.

Sat here for an hour and after 5 minutes we ordered food which we were happy with but from that moment on it went downhill unfortunately glass was broken, no cutlery and no offer of a new drink when ours had been empty for about 10 minutes unfortunately! After about half an hour of eating we had to ask for the bill ourselves because we had not been helped yet. We will definitely not be coming back here!

Gaan we niet meer naar toe. Kwaliteit verre van goed Veel te duur; cola zero €4,00 Kroketten net brood en mayo €14,50 Vroegen om boter maar die hadden ze niet.

Really terrible. Ordered via qr code. Half an hour later still no coffee received. When asked got a huge rude mouth. Money back and left never to return. Terrible a disgrace for the catering industry

Never had to wait so long for 2 cappuccinos, apple pie and a toasted sandwich... too bad because it doesn't do the atmosphere any good. Many people were annoyed by the long waiting times. Staff too. Orders that don't arrive at the same time as your table companions... so one already has their drink and the others have to wait a very long time...? If you can't get that much staff then why fill everything up. They always get the full load? Or just say right away that the waiting times for food are long... I won't come back here anymore.

Dame met rood haar zeer onvriendelijk. Ik zat al lang binnen, werd mij terwijl zij mijn cappuccino bracht dat binnen gesloten is. Dit is niet de eerste keer haar onvriendelijkheid. Ook naar mensen met vreemd gedrag, wanneer ze weg zijn kei hard uitlachen en hard over praten. Dan kan ze wel praten en lachen. Misselijk makend. Doe er wat aan aanfluiting voor de zaak.

Pleasant place to eat and drink

Veel regen deze pinkster zaterdag. Op de markt zit deze eetgelegenheid. Gapende ober, maar ach dat kan gebeuren. Omelet als lunch was oké, de kroketten ook, maar het wit brood oud, zelfs de korst. Alles gesmaakt werd gevraagd, terwijl op het bord 90% van het brood nog lag. Op mijn opmerking dat het oud brood leek zou dit nagevraagd worden. Niets meer gehoord.

Coffee was good, toilet new and very clean but strong chlorine smell. Please do not use chlorine, it is very bad for the environment!

Brilliant staff if I say so myself, should really get paid more for this good service👌🏻

Nice and cozy tent. Friendly and helpful staff

Wat een slechte zaak, bediening is ongeïnteresseerd, biefstuk met gebakken champignons is niet mogelijk, deze worden alleen gebakken bij een snitsel. Met 5 personen 2 kleine bakjes friet en twee nog kleinere bakjes mayonaise. Niemand die even vroeg of het smaakte en of alles naar wens was. Bij alle vijf de personen waren de glazen leeg, maar niemand kwam kijken of we nog iets te drinken wilde hebben. We zijn opgestapt en een klein stukje verderop zijn we heel gezellig een ijscoupe gaan eten. Hier hadden ze wel vriendelijk personeel.

What a bad business, service is uninterested, steak with fried mushrooms is not possible, these are only fried with a cutlet. With 5 people 2 small containers of fries and two even smaller containers of mayonnaise. Nobody asked if it tasted good and if everything was to your liking. All five people's glasses were empty, but nobody came to see if we wanted something to drink. We got up and a little further on we had a very nice ice cream sundae. They did have friendly staff here.

Well-served meals, good and appetizing Helpful and smiling waitress

Despite the fact that the owner/manager still has a few learning points, I still give it 5 stars! Why? Because the employees are all great, the location is grandiose and the tip is already included in their prices. See you soon Teun!

If you come with a group of 20 people after a cremation to be together for a while, you are told that we either have to sit separately or that we have to go somewhere else. Putting tables together is not allowed. So here you can only eat with 4 people. They do not know friendliness here.

We went in a large group and pushed the tables together to be able to sit together. They were not open that we pushed the tables together and were also very unfriendly about this. Too bad. VERY too bad.

Pricey and took a long time for order to arrive, and nachos never arrived after 45 minutes. We couldn't handle the crowds with the double terrace, and there was practically no one available inside. Too bad this is colonizing the market.

Too bad the food was quite disappointing, the steak is a bit on the pricey side for a cafe, but if they don't cook it properly and even the 2nd time is not much better, that's okay for me, I won't eat there again anytime soon, it took a very long time to arrive and the steak was tough and tasteless. The 2nd was not much better, but after an hour and a half of waiting I was just hungry.

Cheese cake was scandalously small and for €4.50

If you order via QR, it may take a long time for your order to be delivered. They forgot the nachos, which were certainly a disappointment. Dipping 6 whole ones and the rest crumbs is a bit difficult.

The location is great, and the service usually is too. (There was now a very friendly boy, but also a young lady who threw our cutlery (in a tin) on the table. I thought the goat's cheese salad was very plain and not really tasty. It's a pity that the goat's cheese couldn't be grilled for a while, and I don't really like raw pine nuts either. I've had better food here!

Very chill and not too loud. Perfect for chatting with your friends

A nice restaurant with a lot of fun.

Had a lovely meal in a nice space.

Super location next to the large church in Wageningen with friendly service. Delicious food, satay chicken with delicious salad and the Classic Hamburger with fries. Recommended if you go to Wageningen.

The hangover is getting too big. The atmosphere is gone. The intimate disappears.

Have eaten here several times, the layout is so cozy. Affordable and delicious food. Nice staff and easily accessible.

Attentive and friendly staff, great lunch.

Good food, reasonable prices, friendly service.

We were completely invisible to the staff, very bad. Orders did not always arrive either, simply forgotten. Sandwiches tasted fine.

Polite people, smiling, fast service, just i'm not generally haven't gotten used to some of flavors here yet. Otherwise it's a nice place in the centre of the square which, especially now that the weather is starting to get more warm, will be nice for an evening meal or a drink outside.

It didn't feel good. Possibly the combination We - De Kater. It can happen and you will find out when you try the combination. It will be a great opportunity for the right audience, because I think the line-up was good. We will not be part of the right audience.

Very cozy cafe. Delicious food and friendly staff.

A busy but cozy location with very friendly staff and quick service.

Avoid this place. We went for a drink, and everything went wrong. The confusion started with the waitresses, who only entered half of our order instead of the full table’s. I personally had to ask for my beer three times, and to top it off, they spilled a beer on my friend. Mistakes happen, but this was a complete disaster. Before we left, they insisted we had to pay for extra beers, probably due to a mix-up because we had originally used the app to book but then ordered directly from the waitress. In the end, they forced us to pay, even though the mistake was clearly theirs. We knew exactly how many beers we had paid and drank, but they wouldn’t listen.

Friendly and helpful staff. Tasty food. Great experience!!

Great service, friendly staff, good food, literally worth the price. I'm looking forward to going there again next year?

De sfeer is nog altijd meer dan goed alleen mijn bokbiertje was lauw en de nacho’s was beneden alle peil. De kaas zat alleen op 2 nacho’s en er stonden 3 bakjes naast met saus. En dat kost dan 8 euro.

Nice place, nice cat, my go-to place

We walked in here and found a table without a reservation. Super nice service, food was good for an eatery and the pornstar Martini was very good. The strudel was the recommendations and is definitely fresh

Met de Zonnebloem duofiets voor mensen met een lichamelijke beperking was het een heerlijke dag. Tegen de middag dan maar een lekker kopje koffie met gebak bij de Kater. Nadat ik mijn passagier, een dame op leeftijd die niet of nauwelijks kan lopen, op het terras had afgezet nog even de fiets parkeren. Tussen de verschillende horeca gelegenheden is daar plek zat voor naast de aanwezige bloembakken. Je wil die fiets van ruim €10.000 toch wel in het zicht houden. Maar nee. De bediening van de Kater sommeerde mij de fiets verderop te parkeren omdat vlak bij het terras parkeren zgn van haar baas niet mocht. Sorry maar met een beetje inlevings vermogen snap je toch ook wel dat het niet handig is als je met een gehandicapte persoon die niet kan lopen, je vervoermiddel ver weg moet parkeren. Dit nog even los van het diefstal risico en het prijskaartje van zo'n speciaal aangepaste fiets.
