Cafe de Blonde Pater in Wijk 01 Nijmegen-Centrum

Delicious salty pancakes, with and without syrup, enjoyed immensely

I sat down at Blonde Pater with a friend and my grandmother. There was a strong smell of weed on the patio, and we were smoking cigarettes. The staff repeatedly spoke to us, clearly whispering about whether it was our fault, and kept pointing at us after we'd already indicated we weren't smoking a joint. It was blatantly racially profiling, and we felt incredibly unwelcome. It's absurd that the staff openly displayed their racist prejudices to customers.

One of Nijmegen's most iconic spots. Fresh, modern, and relaxed with excellent dining options. Well worth a visit.

Delicious breakfast and coffee!

Nice lunch spot with various options, not just the standard menu

A true Nijmegen classic. A lovely spot where you can always enjoy a delicious lunch at a reasonable price.

Well, for years a favorite place for lunch

I had a cup of coffee here during the first weekend of the Four Days Marches. I really enjoyed it; there was plenty of space and the staff was friendly and young. Despite the crowds, I managed to find a great spot, and the service was fast. I enjoyed a cup of coffee and a treat in the sunshine.

Delicious food in a pleasant, yet busy, location. The staff was prompt, we received our orders quickly, and the staff was very hospitable and pleasant.

We were able to snag a table for lunch during a rainy, drizzly Sunday afternoon in Nijmegen. We were a bit disappointed that they didn’t have the “Hapjes “ menu available until after 3 pm but split a club sandwich which was very good. Service wasn’t super fast but since we needed to dodge the rain for a few hours anyway we didn’t mind.

Regular place. Always tasty and cozy

Unfortunately, I am forced to leave a negative review. Over the past year, the quality of the salads here has deteriorated drastically. I came here for lunch with my mom. A year ago, I used to order salads here – the portions were large and filling, and the ingredients were fresh. This time, however, we were served an almost empty plate. I am attaching a photo from a year ago as proof – back then, the salad was truly worth the money. Now, there is simply no point in expecting good food here. I would also like to note the terrible quality of the ingredients. In the “Sydney” salad, the tomatoes were supposed to be sun-dried, but instead, they tasted stale and sour. When we asked for the bill, the waiter asked if everything was tasty. I showed him the old photo and asked why the portions had become so small. In response, I received only a standard sweet smile and an inappropriate joke about portion sizes. I would like to point out that this type of “communication” with guests is completely unacceptable. I expected a clear explanation of the situation, not an attempt to brush it off with jokes.

Delicious food. We could sit there fine. Service was friendly, but the wait was just a bit too long.

Cosy brown pub with a nice atmosphere where you can relax and enjoy the best beers. If that makes you hungry, you can also eat something there.

Even after 7 years Good coffee, good sandwich, very busy and now friendly service.

Delicious food (salad) great service! ❤️

Friendly and smooth service. Enjoyed a nice lunch

Enjoyed a delicious breakfast on the lovely terrace.

Nice cafe to have lunch or just sit. We were there on a rainy day, from the outside it doesn't look like much, but once inside it is a super nice cafe!

A great cafe, that I actually recommend it. It has a variety of different beverages and deserts. Also you have to try the burger! It was the best I have ever tried. The cafe was so huge and it had many tables. The decoration was also very modern and beautiful… The staff was so friendly and polite. I suggest you this cafe without any doubt!

Sometimes takes a long time to be seated but the food is always delicious and the waitresses are always friendly

I had breakfast here by myself and read a book. I love it! I would like to come here again. I had the small breakfast and it met all expectations. Service was very fast, but it was not that busy. Nice place to sit alone.

The cappuccino and the apple pie with whipped cream was very good and tasty. The service was top nice and friendly.

Very friendly and attentive staff. Relax with a pastry from Holy Sweets.

Excellent lunch and friendly service

Large terrace outside. Friendly staff Highly recommended for vegetarian meal salad, original and very tasty. Generous portions.

Fantastic hot tasty coffee and cozy place

Despite the crowds, we were served quickly and had our food quite quickly.

And then you sit with the Blonde Father. Heard a lot about it and now finally an espresso is a household name in the coffee world. Nice place, food (lunch) looked very good, to be honest I haven't had it now, but I will definitely come back. Nice decoration and the Father is in a central place. The espresso and strange that I have to say that, where they have specials here, but it could have been adjusted better, was a little too flat in my opinion. And visit quite a few places in the world. But maybe I should have asked for a different blend.... The Latte looked good and the Latte art on the cappuccino looked excellent.... Definitely go back there again

Delicious food but very little, a small square white sandwich.

Great place for a nice lunch. But of course it is the staff who take care of this. A lot of experience for the profession and good customer contact means that you never have to wait long for a delicious lunch dish. All great people, like Rosa who really served us well today.

Mega busy. Tables are too close together You're almost sitting next to each other. Food very good.

Altijd goed hier, ik ben hier denk ik al 5 keer geweest voor lunch, met vrienden en ook alleen. De lunch kaart biedt veel keuze. Mooie gerechten, goede prijs en vriendelijke bediening.

Best place for lunch in Nijmegen.

Ondanks dat het rustig was op mijn deel van het terras duurde het voor mijn gevoel best lang voordat er een serveerster langs kwam. Ik bestelde een drankje en bitterballen, maar bij het serveren van de bitterballen keek de serveerster de andere kant op en toen viel het bordje met ballen bijna van de plak. Ik moest haar zelfs waarschuwen. Toen ik klaar was haalde ze het lege plankje weer op, maar vroeg niet eens of het gesmaakt had. Kennelijk had de serveerster een offday. Jammer dat de service die ik gewend was er niet was deze dag. In plaats van een tweede drankje te nemen heb ik maar snel afgerekend en ben vertrokken.

We sat here in the sun, had nice hot coffee and good cakes

Perfect for breakfast and lunch

Well-known name in Nijmegen. Tasty breakfasts, good lunch and drinks! We always receive friendly service, definitely recommended!

Had breakfast here during our daughter's operation. Nice atmosphere and we thought about a small adjustment to the breakfast.

Great food. But for what you get, a bit pricey. And you're cramped.

Always pleasant. They are very friendly to everyone. I always take my dog ​​with me. He also likes Blonde Pater.

Always cozy and busy, but a nice cup of cappuccino delivered to your place in no time

We zijn hier in de zomer eerder geweest en lekker gegeten maar deze keer 30 minuten gewacht voordat we werden geholpen na meerdere oogcontacten. Uiteindelijk weggegaan en niks kunnen lunchen. Verpestte de hele sfeer helaas.

Wonderful to see a city wake up early on a Saturday morning. And then you can sit in a nice tent with a delicious breakfast with super friendly employees.

Tasty sandwiches, excellent breakfasts and good coffee!

Large, pleasantly busy city café

Very nice place to have lunch, nice menu and friendly staff. We would love to come back here.

The Cesar salad is so damn delicious. I like going to have my breakfast when I'm free. Good family restaurant that is always full of people due to the good quality.

The best place to eat or drink in all of Nijmegen. There is a nice atmosphere, nice staff. Definitely recommended for those with a good sense of taste.

A great place for a coffee/ beer with a comfort food menu

Delicious food, always busy, fast friendly service

Great city cafe, food is fine but feels a bit conveyer belt, as in well done by run of the mill. Which can be expected given the size of the cafe, it’s quite big. As is there menu, which tells you how the cafe We had the soups and various sandwiches as well as coffee. The latter was better than expected as it came from a machine. Prices were okay and the staff was very lovely—if you’re looking for a good bite the blond monk is a fine choice (no monks spotted however, we did see lots of blondes)

Pleasant! And it's great that the blonde father gives you a saucer to help you choose a pastry at Holey Sweets. What a smart collaboration!

What an expensive thing. 1 large beer and 1 hot chocolate with whipped cream for €13.75. That's not normal anymore. I ordered before looking at the price. We looked at other prices. The price for 8 pieces of bitterballen is €10. Just crazy. However, the service is smooth and friendly. But won't be coming here again anytime soon. Plenty of other things in the center.

Very cozy restaurant with friendly staff!

Blonde pater kan je heerlijk zitten en lunchen. Kan soms wel erg druk zijn waardoor je even op een plekje moet wachten maar is zeker de moeite waard.

A very nice place, also with children. We were in the part adjacent to the Stikke Hezestraat, where you still have a nice view of everyone who walks past. In addition, in my opinion, the furniture in this part is slightly more modern and spacious than in the other part of the restaurant. In short, highly recommended!

Business lunch with three people. Thursday afternoon and very busy in this attractive eatery. Fast service from waitress. Didn't seem very friendly at first, but luckily that improved quickly afterwards. Club sandwich three times, but unfortunately 2 chicken and 1 salmon were served instead of 1 chicken and 2 salmon. Pressure and human errors so did not report this either. Tasted very good, but lacked the decoration with Nacho chips that usually comes with a club sandwich. Besides these small points, satisfied and will definitely come again!

It's my favourite place in Nijmegen. Very good food, so nice sandwiche, especially local products. They have good coffee, beer, and homemade lemonades.

Always nice here. Tasty food and friendly staff!

Today was not our first time in this restaurant, usually everything goes well, but today we were a little disappointed with the service. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by a not very welcoming girl, but we didn't pay attention. we had two menus on the table, the girl simply took the breakfast menu from us almost out of our hands without permission, we tried not to pay attention to it either. after ordering coffee we wanted to order breakfast at 11:50 am, but this girl replied that time was up (although the menu says breakfast is until 12:00 pm and we can place an order before then), we were perplexed and called another waiter and asked the same thing, to which we got the same answer, in the end we were a bit angry and asked the waiter in the kitchen, and still it turned out that we could place an order. We were dissatisfied with the visit to this restaurant this time, this situation was disturbing, we wanted to spend time together and not deal with the waiters about the order

Delicious food, nice location and friendly staff. 👍

I love it, perfect wine and beer and food.

Great sandwiches and super cozy vibe

Delicious breakfast/lunch. The hamburger with brie is our favorite burger in town! Guaranteed one of the best lunchrooms in Nijmegen. Price quality excellent! Varying menu, good service!

Rich breakfasts American style but with a Dutch twist.

Delicious breakfast and fantastic service!

Einfach ein Highlight: nachmittags auf eine Kaffee, morgens zum Frühstück: eine einfallsreiche Karte, schneller Service, zentral gelegen

Nice breakfast, nice atmosphere, service was unfortunately a bit slow.

A cozy catering establishment in the center of Nijmegen. Not very big, but nice and clear. The Blonde Pater beer is highly recommended! And the service was very friendly.

It's a retarded thing, especially the 3 toilets that don't mean anything

Nice place to eat something other than a healthy sandwich.

Cozy location. We had lunch with American pancakes with egg, bacon and syrup. Nice service, definitely recommended.

Nice cafe with tasty dishes and friendly service.

Perfect! Tasty, friendly and a nice atmosphere.

Victim of its own popularity . if its busy the service starts to slip.

Super fun for years. Recently expanded and that was desperately needed because people were hanging outside. Excellent healthy lunch here with lots of variations. The latte is one of the best in the Netherlands and definitely recommended. Excellent atmosphere.

We had lunch here with 6 people, and the Blonde Pater is definitely recommended! The staff is very friendly, we were helped quickly and the food was incredibly tasty. Everyone enjoyed the food. The dishes are affordable and in proportion it is completely okay. Unfortunately we are not from Nijmegen, but if we go here again, we will definitely come back here. Thank you!

Delicious food, wide choice for lunch. No complaints! Quick and friendly help. One star less because there is always room for improvement.

The cake is delicious and also beautiful. If you don't buy early, it will run out very quickly. We bought 4 cakes to eat and drink tea, very satisfied, the cakes were sweet but not boring, the taste was harmonious. Ten points. 😍

We had breakfast and lunch at this nice place. Good food, nice coffee and quick, pleasant service. It consists of 2 parts, creating many cozy corners to sit. When I am in Nijmegen again I will definitely visit!!

Delicious sandwiches and homemade lemonade at reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Delicious food and drinks! My daughter with a gluten and milk allergy was also able to choose extensively here!

Enjoy a drink with a snack and sit comfortably.

Super cozy, went with a big group, had heated terrace seats. Fast service.

Had lunch here, very tasty, friendly staff

Nicest place in Nijmegen to eat/drink something.

Average, nothing great. Highly priced for the standard.

Very tasty food and the staff was friendly. Located between all the nice shops!

just an overall decent place to have lunch

Absolutely lovely breakfast place!

delicious lunch, super nice tent. And nice service

Delicious apple pie!! Nice friendly ladies in the service.

Friendly staff, attentive to the dog with water and a cookie class.... customer friendly....

Tja, als ik hier met mijn dochter telkens terugkom als ik in Nijmegen kom zegt dat genoeg. Veel ruimte binnen en buiten, vriendelijk personeel en tja de lunch is er prima. Mijn dochter weer de croque madame, een heerlijke tosti met ham, kaas en spiegelei. Ikzelf een broodje met hamburger, sla en tomaat. Helemaal lekker. Mijn dochter moest ook nog de lekkere gevulde tomatensoep. We blijven terugkomen.

Always nice to have a drink or something to eat at the Blonde Pater. Some people watching hi hi

There is a really good breakfast and delicious things here. I can recommend the small breakfast plate. Service nice. Only the stairs to the toilet were a bit of a challenge.

Nice tent with a large terrace. It was our first time. I had a pastrami sandwich. Unfortunately, it drowned in the sauce, top and bottom...way too much, making it a wet sauce sandwich and it didn't do the taste any good. My partner had a Caesar salad and he said it was delicious, it looked good and was generously filled. Unfortunately I regret my choice. Many people choose salads there, so I think they do well (Tip)! Also tried Oreo pancakes, which were a bit too dry.

A positive thing is that they work together with a pastry shop, which is across the street. Wherever you can select a pastry of your choice. Lunch was delicious. But I do think that you have to wait a very long time for service even though it is not busy. And once you have ordered, the coffee or orange juice also takes a very long time.

Super tip from Fred from Nijmegen! Delicious food, great atmosphere and good service. We enjoyed the Blonde Pater. Highly recommended if you are in Nijmegen!
