De Engel cafe - restaurant in Wijk 00 Wijk bij Duurstede

A lunch you could eat every day. Friendly service, clear explanation of what to expect.

Three chicken satay, three stomach problems afterwards. Staff were abrupt.

Sat on the Lekkerij terrace. Good coffee and had a tasty pastry. Highly recommended.

Had a very tasty meal and the staff were super.

The service was occasionally quite blunt and abrupt.

Had a delicious meal and at a reasonable price. The service is top-notch.

The portions weren't too large, but the food was prepared by a professional and is therefore a bit more expensive than average. The service was excellent. The restaurant was located in the city center, surrounded by some shops and well-maintained buildings.

We were served quickly and the food was very tasty and the portions were large.

Had a delicious meal! Nice staff!

Went a few weeks ago. Group of 10-14 people between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM. It wasn't busy, the weather was bad, and they had little to do. We had already ordered drinks a few times, but the lady behind the bar didn't seem very enthusiastic; we were asked to order everything at once because otherwise she would have to keep walking back and forth 🤨 why did you go into service then? If we hadn't been there, they wouldn't have had any customers at all. Do you want to generate revenue or would you rather just do nothing all afternoon? Looking grumpy, acting curt. Not friendly at all!!

It was a delicious sandwich 😄👍 Definitely worth a nice meal 🎊🎊

Wheelchair users or those with special dietary needs are also very welcome! Pleasant atmosphere and a familiar feel.

Very friendly and attentive service. And a menu you don't see very often. Ingredients that are very unusual. Had a delicious meal!

Very cozy café-restaurant. We had coffee there, and it was good!

Thank you for the delicious cup of coffee this afternoon with tasty cookies and lovely service Linda Anne and Bart

It's a truly wonderful café, with friendly and attentive service, delicious warm chocolate milk, and a lovely atmosphere. So cozy! ✨

Delicious cappuccino with a delicious farmer's omelette

Nice, extensive menu. A cozy, "village" atmosphere in a positive way. The food was delicious.

The staff behind the bar are throwing empty bottles and trays around so violently that guests keep getting startled and looking to see what is going on. The staff take great pleasure in irritating the guests; they laugh heartily when the guests get startled. In my opinion, this is antisocial behavior and not customer-friendly. So, I will never come here again.

Had a nice lunch. The soups are really delicious, but the sandwiches with farmer's omelet and croquette looked a bit meager. Simple egg/croquette and bread, nothing else. I had a lunch platter and it was quite nice, see photo, but for its price of 17 euros, I had expected just a little more than 2 prawns. But then again, expectations...... So perhaps it was just me. The atmosphere is great and we were served very kindly. The location on the market is, of course, ideal.

If you put a lot of effort into preparing good meals at home, eating out is often disappointing. But here, we had a truly delicious meal. The dishes are prepared with care, and you can taste it. The service is also top-notch: friendly, attentive, and fast.

I came here every Monday for months. It was my regular outing: the staff knew me, knew what I wanted, and always greeted me with warmth and a smile. Until two weeks ago. There was a new face standing there that I didn't recognize. After my first order, I had waited a long time to place my second. Because I was with my child and couldn't stay too long, I walked in politely and asked her: “Is it busy today?” Quite normal, because I wanted to consider whether I should stay or not. Her reaction? A nasty face, an irritated tone, and: “Yes, I’m walking outside the whole time. I’ll be right with you.” Then she just walked away. I was left bewildered. When I calmly mentioned this to her colleague later at the checkout, she came over, pulled strange faces, and called out mockingly: “Well, well!” I stood there, visibly hurt, and said: “Look at how she acts; this just isn't right?” Her colleague wanted to give me a discount out of embarrassment, which I refused. I didn't want a discount; I just wanted respect. I left with tears in my eyes. Today, I decided to give it another chance. The other staff were just as friendly as ever. Until the owner came to my table during lunch. Not to apologize, but to say that his employee was “still bothered by it” and that respect had to be “mutual.” I asked him literally: – “Did you ask other colleagues how things were going?” – No. – “Did you look at the camera footage?” – Not that either. Yet he addressed *me* about it, based solely on *her* story. No hearing both sides. As a regular customer, I feel completely unheard and not taken seriously. Instead of understanding or apologies, I received a reprimand, even though I have always come in a friendly and respectful manner. Very unfortunate. For me, this chapter is now truly closed. And for everyone reading this: think twice before you eat here. Not because the food is bad. But because customer friendliness isn't just about a smile at the checkout. It's about humanity. And I lost that here.

Friendly restaurant with nice and professional service. The croquettes with bread are very tasty, and the tomato soup is also very good. Highly recommended.

Pleasant terrace, but the food was very substandard for the price.

Everything is just right, very good service, price-quality ratio is perfect

Cozy terrace, where you can also enjoy drinks in the evening.

Delicious food, pleasant terrace, and friendly staff! Highly recommended!

The staff is really very rude, they are mean and are too bad to say please and thank you.

Rude service, no decency, and aggressively delivered your drinks. I felt unwelcome here and therefore wouldn't recommend it.

Delicious coffee with apple pie

Lovely terrace in the heart of the city center with comfortable chairs. Lunch was delicious. We had the vegetable omelet once and the burrata on bread once—delicious, fresh flavors. Good coffee. Friendly service. Excellent!

Delicious food, small menu but quality! Service is fast and friendly.

Delicious food. Menu is not very extensive.

It's always nice to sit on the terrace under the trees when the weather is nice. Excellent service and a delicious burger.

The food itself is fine, but we think a salad should be accompanied by a slice of bread. They don't do that at De Engel. The extremely friendly staff only brought a whole bread board with aioli and herb butter, with a correspondingly high price tag. We find that a shame, and it's not something we're used to.

A lovely restaurant in the center of Wijk bij Duurstede. You can park your motorcycle nearby. Highly recommended.

Situated at the market of Wijk with a terrace under the trees. Smooth and friendly service. We came for lunch. Delicious sandwiches. Good price/performance ratio. Recommended

We discovered this beautifully located and designed restaurant in the center by chance. Everything was perfect. The waiters were very friendly and attentive. The food was fabulous.

Nice place though, I ordered a hamburger for 17.50 and asked if I could have a fried egg on it and was immediately told that that was not possible When the sandwich was served it was on a soft white bun like you can buy in the supermarket and it had become soggy from the fat that came out of the meat The burger itself was very tasty though

Had dinner here on a sunny Friday evening with 2 people. Easy to book via the website. Initially a table inside, but later offered a table outside. Very tasty food and good service. We both eat gluten-free and they thought along with us. Top!

Nice place, good service and very good food

Delicious food. Salmon with asparagus. Very friendly staff. Cozy atmosphere.

A cozy terrace, delicious food, delicious special beer on tap

Delicious coffee and friendly service

Nice location. Fresh young service, great people

Only went for a cup of coffee (great cup of coffee). Nice tent but too short to judge

Always super friendly staff and great food! Had a nice lunch today. Gluten free sandwich was delicious. If they also had gluten-free pastries, there would be an additional star for food😉 because there are few options for that in Wijk.

Delicious salmon omelette, friendly service.

Simply delicious food here. Scallops with a lobster bitterballen and crayfish with a Madam Jeanette pepper sambal. My partner had the Bavette as a main course and was very happy with it. It was also very nice that evening and super friendly employees! Big thumbs up!!

What hospitality here! Thinking along, friendly, quickly on the table and delicious food!

Have had a delicious meal twice already. Both meals were delicious and my table companions also enjoyed them both times. The atmosphere is typically Dutch, relaxed. We will definitely come back.

We had a three-course Christmas lunch on Christmas Day: it was beautifully prepared and delicious! We will definitely do it again!!

Very cozy location. Had a delicious lunch.

De Engel is always relaxed, thorough and has friendly, professional employees.

Nice and cozy place to eat. Nicely renovated.

Reasonable, coffee not hot, exchanged after complaint, croquettes with bread, decorating with some lettuce, etc. is not available... Too bad, it should be easy for that price.

Very good food. Too bad the table wasn't cleaned

Delicious food and very attentive service. Everything was fresh and tasty.

Nice location on the market, with good weather outside on the terrace in the shade of trees and parasols. Good choice for brunch and lunch. Coffee and tea with delicious pastries from the bakery...

Shows up on search results for vegan restaurant. Which is not true. Only vegetarian dishes. Unless you like fries without mayo.

Nice place, good food. Lunch was served super quickly. Large portions and, in my opinion, excellent value for money. However, I didn't find the staff friendly at all. I think this girl serving had her preferences per table, she couldn't even crack a smile. That could be worked on...

We hebben hier met 4 koppels heerlijk gegeten waarbij de prijs/kwaliteitverhouding helemaal klopte. Bovendien heeft dit restaurant een geweldig team in de keuken en bediening.

We had an amazing lunch at De engel. We tried the burgers and backed Salmon with asparagus 😍

Quick lunch on the terrace was surprisingly tasty. We had the Lunch Board (Asparagus soup, country bread, prawn skewer with Japanese mayonnaise, Caesar salad) and the Asparagus Ravioli (with Dutch asparagus, green asparagus, poached egg, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts and parsley sauce and fries). Both surprisingly tasty and affordable.

It's always nice to put on the Engel when I'm in the neighborhood.

Based on the website I had higher expectations. I thought it was too dark inside. We were helped by an intern I suspect who was not well informed about the menu and wine list. The other staff members seemed much more professional. The food was sufficient and the chardonnay excellent.

Been again, yes, nice atmosphere inside and outside, delicious food

Enjoyed a great reception in De Engel with 30 former colleagues and partners with coffee and cake to start a pleasant day in Wijk bij Duurstede.

Het viel een beetje tegen naar verhouding wat er voor betaald moet worden. De koffie compleet was wel goed. De bediening was vriendelijk. Ze hebben hier wel brand up op de tap.

Always delicious and pleasant food at De Engel. Nice staff! Highly recommended

Waar ik vorig jaar een heerlijke eerste date had met mn huidige vrouw ben ik nu van tafel gegaan na 2 happen.. De sateh was veel te pittig en de burger was een halfrauw broodje bal met weinig smaak. Erg jammer als je viert dat je een jaar samen bent.

Delicious food and drinks, staff are friendly here. Food and drinks arrived quickly even though it was busy. 5/5

What a delicious meal we had! Very friendly service and great food! Recommended!

Didn't eat but had a nice drink with friends.

Super friendly service and very good quality lunch.

Delicious food, friendly service. Excellent service and atmosphere.

Had lunch this afternoon, both had a farmer's omelet. When you serve it, you get excited, it looks delicious and tastes fantastic too. This was a ray of sunshine on a sad day for us.

Truly a place where you can relax and enjoy people watching at the market in Wijk, my hometown for 21 years During the corona time you can pick up delicious homemade pea soup at this picturesque restaurant! In the summer it rightly has the largest terrace in Wijk bij Duurstede. Today we sat on the terrace again. The weather just allowed that. The rain came later, but the enjoyment of a good latte with a cookie was excellent! Came by again and once again enjoyed the atmosphere and the drinks. Just a good place to meet while enjoying a drink and a snack! Always the cozy center cafe of Wijk bij Duurstede. A household name!

Drinking coffee at De Engel is always pleasant

Good wines, and excellent service. My favorite dessert with its own twist was also on the menu. Recommended for people who have not been yet.

Various delicious stews with smoked sausage, deer and beef for the employees of the tourist office in Wijk bij Duurstede.

Delicious food and pleasant service

Atmosphere, service and price quality as it should be! A historic place in the center of Wijk bij Duurstede. You feel 'seen' welcome and also have an idea of ​​when you might want to order something or be left alone.

What a pleasant atmosphere here! Delicious food as always, but above all...what nice/pleasant employees. See you soon.

Een gezellig café waar ik mijn thuis voelt lekkere biertje, s van de tap met kaastengels TOP TOP TOP TOP TOP

Goede maaltijd. Met o.a. professionele en vriendelijke ober Cyriel.

Everything decent and the food 'rustic' as I heard someone call it. Fun fact: this place has existed for hundreds of years.

Eten was heerlijk. Goede kwaliteit/prijsverhouding. Correcte bediening.

Good location, good food and friendly staff

Lekker gegeten. Aan de prijzige kant...

Het gezelligste terras van Wijk bij Duurstede

Is zeker een aanrader om te gaan eten keuze zat en vriendelijke medewerkers

Gezellig café-restaurant in het centrum gelegen. De ossestaartsoep was matig van smaak. Uitstekende bediening.

Heerlijk gegeten, voldoende q portie,toetje framboos super lekker. Wij hadden hoge tafel dat is voor een 80+ iets lastiger.

Terras is gezellige plek op de markt ,lunch was goed maar diner viel tegen. Personeel kortaf niet echt vriendelijk .

Heel Smakelijk vegetarisch gegeten, fijne bediening.

Perfecte bediening en gerechten. Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding. Alles wordt vers gemaakt

Gezellige plek en heerlijk gegeten Een prima lunch genuttigd

Gezellig terras midden in centrum Wijk bij duurstede. Snelle en vriendelijke bediening. Fijne sfeer! De nacho's zijn niet bijzonder. De dips lijken uit een potje te komen Maar de kaas is goddelijk en de notenmix was echt lekker. Cocktails ook zeker een aanrader!!

Heerlijk gegeten en prima service !
