Café Restaurant Banka in Wijk 00 Hattem

The beer wasn't cold, and the veal schnitzel wasn't tender, the mushroom cream sauce was lacking, and the hamburger was still raw. The service was good. For that price, we expected better.

A very nice terrace, but the order takes a very long time

Heerlijk op het terras geborreld. Bediening is vlot, maar komt ook gerust wat later terug als je nog wat langer op de kaart wilt kijken. Tegen sluitingstijd gaan afrekenen, waarbij mijn man aangaf dat vrouwlief het Liefmans glas zo leuk vond. We mochten het meenemen en kregen er beide een vol flesje Liefmans bij voor aan boord. Wat een service en gastvrijheid. Een super leuke herinnering aan een gezellig terras. We komen zeker terug!!

Veluwe chicken soup... That's watery broth with some noodles, exactly 3 small pieces of chicken breast (3 mm each), 2 diced carrots, and some chopped leek sprinkled on top. Ahem... Really disappointing, and essentially a bowl of crooked nonsense for 9 euros or so.

Just had dinner with the social deal, the food was very tasty, the service was very friendly, we really enjoyed it, it was worth coming by. TOP 👍

Booked with Social Deal, friendly staff and plenty of choice on the menu.

The service was very slow, but since someone had become unwell, we completely understood. We ordered the teriyaki tenderloin. As everyone knows, teriyaki sauce is sweet. What we received, however, was sour and cloying. The vegetables were overcooked, and the tenderloin was even beyond what's described as "well done." The meat was tasteless and extremely tough. After two bites, we decided to return the meal and order the "pleaderik." This was a regrettable experience, and we are determined not to return.

Nice and friendly service. Delicious food. 9

Had a good meal for very little money through a social deal, but I didn't like the atmosphere. The service was good, and I didn't have to wait long.

You can have a truly delicious lunch here

Super cozy, delicious food, worth repeating!

Nice place to hang out. Got snacks with drink. Fine service.

Mediocre experience. I ordered a halloumi sandwich. It had three pieces of halloumi on it, ungrilled. The lettuce wasn't dressed. The whole thing was rather tasteless. Afterward, I mentioned something to the staff about the halloumi, but they didn't try to resolve it, just mumbled excuses. Paying three euros for a glass of water, even though we didn't even ask for it, makes it even worse. All in all, a very poor value for money experience. It is, however, located in a nice square.

Hattem, what a beautiful town. Enjoy the view from the terrace, admiring all the lovely old buildings and the beautifully restored church. Take a stroll or visit the Anton Pieck Museum. The Bakery Museum is also definitely worth a visit.

What a nice restaurant this is! Great service, just great! The food tasted delicious! Nice seating inside and outside. Completely satisfied!

Today we visited Grand Café Banka for lunch. I have to say...if you want to have a nice lunch or dinner, definitely go there. Staff extremely friendly, menu is never ready on the table, fast service and, in this case the 12 o'clock lunch, excellent taste and with exactly the right quantities. Homemade soup. We eat a lot at restaurants/grand cafés and I really can't find anything in some of the comments that have been posted. On the Markt in Hattem this is number 1 for lunch, dinner or just a nice drink. Price quality is absolutely fine.

Just having a (Grolsch!) beer. Tasty nuts as a service! Even people with an ice cream from the neighbors were greeted kindly and could take a seat. That's hospitality!👍👌🌞🍺

yesterday I ordered a toasted sandwich for 9.95 euros, with cheese only, two small thin sandwiches were served with a thin slice of melted cheese, unbelievable that you dare to serve this to your customers with a straight face, now you get nice thick self-sliced ​​sandwiches and a thick layer of melted cheese served then I could say okay this is worth it (I expected that for this absurd amount) once but never again.

We had a delicious Thai soup and drank a lovely beer on tap.

The 4 stars on the food are based on the fact that I am just a whiner with food •. Staff very friendly and helpful. Understand other choices and carry them out with a smile. Fun for the children, a toy box was immediately put down. Definitely recommended

Delicious food, super friendly staff

We were here for a 3-course dinner. To start positively; the food was delicious from start to finish! Only we had to wait a very long time for the first drink to be taken. We did get a proper apology for this. However, we never had service at the table to order our second drink, even though the glasses were already empty and we were thirsty because of the hot day. Serving the food also took quite a long time. And the restaurant (and terrace) were far from full. After hinting a few times and looking around asking where the service was coming, we only got annoyed looks from the barmaid and not even the direction of a colleague in our direction. The price of the drinks turned out to be abnormally high afterwards. For 2 glasses of ice tea you pay 8.50! By the way, the music that was played was nice. Tip for the restaurant staff: regularly walk past the tables to ask if everything is to your liking. And let your fellow hostesses walk around with a somewhat happier face while working. They all looked grumpy now with an unmotivated attitude.

Bad service. Very slow and a lot of looks were exchanged. It was not nice and a green ice tea was 4.25! 🤯 We had to wait more than 20 minutes before we got the menu and for drinks to be taken. Then the main course took a very long time again. They did not ask during the meal if everything was to our liking and they also did not ask if we wanted something else to drink. The reaction when we said something about it was "Oh sorry" and they continued. The food itself was very tasty, although the fish in the fish and chips was a bit disappointing: a bit small.

Ended up here via a social deal. As a result, the prices were reasonable, but otherwise the price/quality ratio is not good. Despite the fact that the restaurant was 1/3 occupied, we had to wait a very long time for the food. Staff could be friendlier. Food is reasonable to good, but varies per dish.

Nice and cozy place. The food was very tasty. They are friendly to children, nice atmosphere inside and friendly staff. Definitely recommended

Definitely recommended to have a lovely lunch on the terrace when the weather is nice. The sandwiches, including those with hare tips, are delicious. Will definitely come back!

Gezellig terras midden in het centrum. Echter bestel hier geen slagroom bij de appeltaart ( taart was oké ) want die stort na een minuut al in. Dit kan echt veel beter !! Ander soort spuitbus slagroom inkopen. En daar moet je dan 90 cent voor betalen …..😫 Cappuccino erg klein kopje voor €3,85…….

Disappointing experience at Banka in Hattem We had hoped for a pleasant evening out at restaurant Banka in Hattem, but unfortunately it was a big disappointment. The steak I ordered was way too well done, while I had clearly asked for medium. The meat was tough and dry, and had no taste at all. That actually applied to the entire meal: very boring, bland and uninspired. Little attention seemed to have been paid to the preparation or presentation. The service also left much to be desired. We were not asked if we wanted something else to drink and no one came to check if the food was to our liking. In addition, ordering took a very long time. For the price you pay, you really should expect more. All in all a disappointment. We will not be coming back here again.

Booked Social Deal and it was absolutely fine. Nice place and good food good atmosphere.

With the racing bike to Hattem and had coffee at Banka. Delicious cappuccino. Banka is located on a cozy square with a large terrace. Also inside it is cozy decorated. Friendly staff and delicious pastries.

We had a good cappuccino and apple pie with whipped cream. A lovely, cozy terrace and very friendly service.

Had lunch outside on the beautiful cozy terrace. Friendly staff.

Had dinner here with my mother today! We started with a delicious tomato and chicken soup, which was really delicious and the vegetables were wonderfully fresh. Main course we both had a Hamburger, it tasted really delicious, super generous, think at least 150G of meat with delicious fries. we finished with a Banka coupe ice cream. this was also very generous, 3 scoops of ice cream with lots of fresh fruit and a delicious strawberry sauce. I will definitely go here again! I really enjoyed it and the people were all very friendly and nice

Excellent food in itself. Cozy on the square in the beautiful town of Hattem. Nice service. Drinks very pricey.

Bediening en gerechten prima. Maar de nota viel erg tegen. Er werden forse meerprijzen berekend bij de social deal (er was wel aangekondigd dat er een lijstje was, maar je mocht overal uit kiezen en we hadden geen heel dure gerechten, dus je verwacht dat dat om uitzonderingen gaat) en de drankjes zijn heel prijzig.

We were here to rent the back room, which is possible, but... they cannot separate the music in the back from the front, the owners did not want that. Too bad and a bit incompetent. Can be solved with 1 switch on the front. Says nothing in terms of food, service or atmosphere.

Delicious food, pleasant service and really enjoyed an evening of dining out. Thank you!

Went here for dinner with the family, booked for ourselves via social deal, children's menu for children. Friendly service by a young lady, the other was a bit surly. Drinks (soft) are very pricey at €4 for a small bottle, and the food portions are not large either. Price/Quality is also out of proportion with social deal, let alone without it.

Nice and cozy cafe. Don't expect too much about the quality. The piri piri chicken did not meet expectations.

Good quality food, costs on the high side, understaffed staff and therefore a very long wait

Nice ambience, food with little taste, small portion, too expensive, inattentive service.

Prijs kwaliteit verhouding is ver uit balans. Erg lang wachten voordat bestelling wordt opgenomen, waarna weer lang wachten dat er iets op tafel gezet is . Tussen koffie en wat lunchen zat 25 min. Wat er als lunch dan wordt voorgeschoteld was een boeren tosti die negens op leek ,volledig mislukt. Prijs ver over de tot voor dit mislukte product van een inferieure kwaliteit. Schaam je.

First the positives, nice place, nice friendly staff. The food was cold and of poor quality and best of all the explanation when asked that it was up to the supplier 😂😂 so definitely not eating again and again for drinking.

*You could feel cheated* When you stop there during a bike ride, order coffee with apple pie + whipped cream (2*), then get a flattened apple pie - like from Lidl, usually quite manageable - with artificial cream from a spray can instead of whipped cream (you run a restaurant, right?), then you don't expect to pay almost €20. Another tourist trap! [NB: this concerns your establishment in Heerde. Placing a review is not possible there. Get to work people!]

Delicious lunch, sandwich and sandwich were very generously filled! Friendly staff and nice seating.

Fresh orange juice and the prawns were really delicious! I really didn't like ribeye. Weird smell. Then tenderloin, which was better but had a strange bitter taste, which could be due to the chicory. Friendly service.

Had lunch with the three of us via Social Deal. Wide choice and as a starter a delicious mustard soup followed by an excellent bouncer. Will have a bite to eat here again soon.

Good food and not expensive, this restaurant is located in beautiful Hattem

Delicious pastries and coffee. Very pricey. 20 euros for 2 cappuccinos, 1 apple pie and 1 caramel pastry

Expensive and mediocre quality. Desserts are tasty

Recommended. Good food and drinks. Great atmosphere.

Excellent restaurant with good meat dishes

Ouch, if only I had read the reviews earlier... and unfortunately they are true. It is a nicely decorated restaurant and unfortunately that's where it ends. The food is not commensurate with the price. Sparse, not beautifully presented and simply not tasty. I've never given a bad review about a restaurant, but this was such a disappointment that I had to say something about it...

Everything very well organized, available to everyone

Had a great time at BANKA. Fantastic atmosphere and decoration of the restaurant, friendly and professional staff and the food was Good with a capital G. Definitely recommended for people with taste and recommend visiting this Café on quiet days for the best experience. The price was pleasant compared to the quality. Will definitely come back if I end up in beautiful Hattem.

Cozy seating, cheerful staff, good food.

I had a mussel pan, I'm used to it having a lot more flavor and the mussels were very small! Too bad because it is quite expensive. Banka is also located in a very nice location with great service

Open until midnight, but at 9 p.m. it is no longer possible to order for drinks. In connection with an already cleaned oven.. Special. A possible cause for the enormous crowds at the neighbors but the peace in your own business..

Great place to have a cup of coffee on a rainy day. The staff makes a big difference, is professional and friendly.

Just the way you want it, excellent staff who make you feel at home.

Banka is a place where it is almost impossible to leave in the same good mood as you came with. The apple pie was decent, although small and with fake whipped cream. For 2x pastries and 2x cappuccino we paid € 19.90, the top of the market, but hey, we are in Hattem, not Paris. But that's not the worst part. That's the staff. The situation with their service orientation is dramatic. Four people huddled together at the bar with no attention to the guests. Slow, absent, grumpy faces. After fifteen minutes no one had come to our table. We then went to the bar ourselves to ask if we could order something. That was allowed! Yeah!! But not a smile or kind word could be missed. Without a word, the coffee and pastries were plopped onto our table. Paying again brought the same amount of inertia, if not more. We left in dead silence. Only after an emphatic 'goodbye and have a nice day' on our part did some barely audible mumbling return. If you also have a coffee maker at home, there is no reason to visit this shop. Young man, young ladies, find a job that you enjoy. Plenty of work and... smile!

The restaurant was nicely decorated for Christmas. However, I still think the price is really on the high side for what you get,… Portions are not large and the drinks are overly expensive at €5.50 for a sweetie,... well... Staff did their best. In short, fun for once.

Just some tasty food and drinks.

Friendly service and excellent dinner.

Been twice now and unfortunately all small errors, order not received, difficult to contact the service. Unfortunately, the wrong things were also charged to our account... Perhaps just bad luck for us, but unfortunately it does affect the experience. On the other hand, the atmosphere inside is very good and the things we did get were just fine.

Nice shop with a nice atmosphere, unfortunately a cappuccino with oat milk costs 1€ extra.

Enjoyed our meal. I had a duckbreast perfectly rare and the sauce delicious. Chips great with sufficient mayo. M had the chicken saté that was tender and juicy.

Ambience makes up for a lot. Map ok. Food was very average to bad. If you are a chef and you make such a schnitzel then you should, no, you should be ashamed. Way too thick, limp, wet crust, tough. Do a quick Google search and you will learn that a real schnitzel must be fried or fried in a lot of butter. Olive oil is really very dirty. Waitresses are all in a bad mood, but the waiter Micha is friendly and really does his best and understands hospitality. Not enough napkins on the table. Also had to ask again. Waitress really has no idea what is on the plate. Standing and chatting with each other but not taking away the empty glasses and oil. Dishes are too expensive. Fresh preparation is already a big step that can be taken. Asking zero times after the 1st time if we want something to drink is not useful for sales.... Dietary wishes that were expressed initially only resulted in "then we'll just leave it out", so zero vegetables, etc. Only after insisting and introducing ourselves Since there are also parsnips and stewed pears on the menu, this was possible. Rarely have I had to make such an effort. @owner: I would spend more time training. Draft beer is nice. Lava cake was ok, whipped cream from a spray can. Only a minus zero for the Crème Brulee. No warm top. Not crispy. This completely missed the point. Just walk to another restaurant. Go eat at the mill sometime. She gets it.

The atmosphere of this place is very nice. The food is also very tasty. They do use quite a lot of sauce, which makes the sandwiches a bit soggy

Food of simple quality, everything prepared, not good for that reason either. Staff is disinterested, customer threatens to order. The location in the beautiful little town is good, which is why it is probably well attended

Duur, we bestelden 2 koppen soep. Een soep was halflauw. 2 kleine stukjes brood erbij. Dat werd netjes opgelost. En twee kleine glaasjes Grolsch bokbier. Rekening : € 35,00. Wacht effe; klopt dit? Jawel het klopte. Eens maar nooit meer.

grumpy staff, long wait And expensive. We won't be back

Nice place and the coffee is good, but the food was really bad. Dry schnitzel €26, fries lukewarm, Brussels sprouts were okay. What prices they charge there for that quality and portions. For me it's a one-time meal there, maximum prices for poor quality

Super cozy atmosphere. Price quality is good. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Een leuk cafe restaurant in het centrum van Hattem om een biertje en/of een borrel te drinken. Een gezellig terras, vriendelijk personeel en ook van binnen mooi aangekleed

Cozy 'tent'. Always quite a few people present. Prices are a bit on the high side.

Excellent food and friendly staff

Great nice place where you can eat well and take a break from shopping hahaha had a nice lunch there excellent shacks with bread it was delicious so if you are in Hattem look for this place on tips here ...

Good food, but no culinary delights. The classics, so to speak. Nice service and beautiful location in the city, so the terrace is definitely worth it.

Atmospheric, beautiful menu, friendly service

We recently had dinner here with 4 people. Food quality was very good. Service was friendly. Price/quality ratio was more than good. Will definitely come back again.

Delicious food Good service and handling. Very attentive

Excellent food, via social deal. You have to pay extra for a number of dishes. Nice atmosphere, service sometimes a bit inexperienced but friendly. Lovely ambiance with a beautiful outdoor terrace next to the church

Expensive and poor value for money

Enjoyed sitting outside on the terrace. Delicious food! Beetroot salad sandwich and tuna salad, both delicious!! Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, just great!

I don't recognize the place in the many negative reviews. Everything was neat and tidy; who looked like the team leader of the evening, helped very correctly. And even though we came with a promotional voucher, we were not treated differently; a really neat and luxurious experience! The only thing I can understand is that you don't think it's cheap... But in return there is good quality meat and a beautiful location👌

Zowel de kwaliteit als de presentatie van het eten is onder de maat. Je ruikt dat er wordt gewerkt met olie welke nodig vervangen moet worden en het smaakt dus minder. Wil ook de tip geven om de kok niet in kleding vol vlekken door de zaak te laten lopen. De bediening is in orde en qua inrichting is het een gezellige zaak.

Delicious sandwiches, good cappuccino and pleasant atmosphere

Beautiful and cozy place to take a moment of rest. Beautiful seating areas inside and a spacious terrace. The choice in the menu book is good. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Very expensive only fries with truffle mayonnaise 11 euros

Nice. Terrace but on the pricey side.

Excellent quality at a fair price.

great place with a large terrace where you can enjoy a delicious meal and a drink on the terrace it also looks great inside. Highly recommended if you are near Hatten or in the marina.

Prima restaurant op de Markt in een authentiek stadje aan de IJssel. Lekker gegeten en service al was men niet erg spraakzaam.

Erg slecht, veel te dikke satésaus, de goulash kwam uit de vriezer en is opgewarmd in de magnetron, de fish en chips was te olieachtig. We bestelden vooraf mosterdsoep en kregen de vraag of we er ook zalm in wilden. We zeiden allen nee dank. Maar bij het serveren zat er dus wel zalm in. En voor een extra dressing bij maaltijdsalade moesten we bijbetalen. Van onze vrienden is er niemand die tevreden is over Banka.

Helped by Trees. Very friendly and helpful waitress. As a surprise we also received an ice cream on the house (it was 31 degrees).

Unfortunately, I only had a spoon, forgot the rest of the cutlery and was very busy

We hadden er veel van verwacht, bij het voorgerecht was 1 gerecht koud , wel ander gekregen maar niet samen kunnen eten. Hoofdgerecht matig bereid , vlees ( Ossehaas) was te droog.. Kok blijkbaar erg middelmatig. Bediening doet zijn best maar kan hier niets aan doen,, Prijs , kwaliteit verhouding is slecht. Voor ons geen Banka Hattem meer. Gert

Delicious lunch. Fast and friendly service.

Delicious food and cappuccino!!!!
