De Kostery in Centrum

Highly recommended! The food was delicious and the service was very friendly.

Too bad I have to pay immediately every time I order a beer

We kwamen om half zeven aan , er is een dinerkaart, maar we kregen te horen dat de keuken dicht was. Als argument dat het terras in de schaduw was,(?.? !). Wij zaten nog gezellig te praten toen het meisje de kussens begon te verzamelen. Erg ongastvrij allemaal

Hebben er een goede lunch gehad. Wel met een nasmaak! Ik heb m’n zonnebril op sterke laten liggen op de terras tafel. Men heeft deze gevonden maar men reageerde nu niet meer op m’n verzoeken deze tegen de gemaakte kosten op te zenden??? Na ca 14 verzoeken… NIETS van de Kosterij. Slechte afhandeling.

A super cozy terrace beneath the famous Martini Tower. The staff is friendly and chatty, and despite the terrace being full, they take the time to help you. The lunch was excellent. The schiacciata sandwiches with warm ham and the ones with grilled chicken are highly recommended. Definitely a place we'll visit again.

The High Tea is very nice to do once. We were allowed to choose a place ourselves. You get more than enough to eat and there is a lot of variety. There was also a choice of fresh tea, but also tea bags. Fortunately it was not too busy and the service was fine. They were attentive and came back several times to ask if everything was going well.

We hebben een heerlijke high tea besteld. Wat een fantastische toren met lekkere dingen. De bediening was geweldig. Wij komen zeker terug.

Come here regularly service is great Food is a beautiful picture tastes great

I always come here for the great coffee. Today I went for lunch. I had the steak sandwich and it was very tasty, highly recommended. I will definitely come back to try one of the other sandwiches.

There's a story here. The city is small, tidy, and very fast-paced. This restaurant has an idea. The idea is to sit down, relax a little, and remember how the day began.❤️

We had a high tea. The weather was lovely, but we were not allowed to sit outside, that was not possible. That disappointed us because it was very quiet. Inside it was small and uninviting. We got tea and a cake stand with snacks. The quality was mediocre. They were some cheap snacks from the wholesaler, not exactly tasty. We expected more from the quality and the service. We were not monitored either. We were not asked if we wanted a new pot of tea. Afterwards we were not even asked if it had tasted good or what we thought of it. Too bad, we expected more from this experience.

Update: Once again enjoyed it, this time a latte macchiato and then a dirty chai latte. Friendly staff. This afternoon sat on the terrace first in the shade then in the sun. Friendly staff, were helped well. We were able to pay immediately, ideal for those who sit there, less for yourself because giving a tip is then more difficult. First had a drink, then did the snack platter. Very extensive. Delicious, then had another drink then could give a tip. You are definitely worth it as staff and the snack platter. View of the Martini Tower and Grote Markt, a lovely spot.

Last week enjoyed a well-catered evening at De Kostery. Also recommended for large groups and/or company outings. Friendly service, thoughtful and delicious food. Beautiful different dishes served and something for everyone (even as a vegetarian I didn't miss anything). Recommended!!

Absolutely love this place. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is cozy, and the service is always friendly and welcoming. There’s plenty of seating, and the big picnic tables outside are perfect for hanging out with friends or just enjoying some sun. Everything feels well thought out and relaxed. Just a great spot all around.

Beautiful location with nice and friendly staff. Both times I've been there I've been helped quickly, I'll definitely go here more often.

Had a great meal at a beautiful location overlooking the Grote Markt. Service was very friendly and accessible, enjoyed it!

Beautiful and unique spot in the city at the foot of the Martini Tower. Delicious cuisine and menu.

Nice and cozy place to have a bite and a drink. In the middle of the city and suitable for larger groups of people!

What a fantastic place! Delicious food and attentive and customer oriented staff!

Before we went to the football match Netherlands-Malta we enjoyed Kostery's shared dining. Salmon and Entrecote were very well prepared. Also the starters including the Gambas were fantastic. Keep it up and we will definitely come back!

Sat here on the terrace last month, carpaccio was still frozen. The girl went to get a new one for me, I waited almost 20 minutes to then get the same plate on the table with even the cutlery still on it, unfortunately the rest of the table had already finished eating. The girl who brought the drinks said nothing and just put everything on the table. The lady who served us looked tired and said that she had been working for a very long time without a break, this is apparently normal in the catering industry? Location is great in the sun, inside it did not look super clean and tidy. The cappuccino was very tasty, maybe better next time!

So nice to have a cup of coffee here, but for lunch... Delicious! 🙌🏻

Nice restaurant under the Martini Tower. Tasty food.

Nice place, the building is a bit crooked

Nice picturesque restaurant at the foot of the most beautiful church in the Netherlands, the Martini Church.

Not too many options but breakfast was satisfying, we liked everything…

Très bien accueilli avec le sourire de la serveuse ... Nous avons passé un agréable moments et tout était très bon et bien présenter et dans un lieux superbe et propre. Merci encore pour la gentillesse du personnel qui a été fantastique.

Food is disgustingly full of oils. I got a steak (of 3 bites) which they charge 22 euros + 2 euros for the fries, drenched in bad quality oils to make you feel full with the tiny portions. And my girlfriend got a surf and turf ( looked like a soup from the amount of crème) with 2 shrimps and the most chewy meat you have ever had. Overall disgustingly bad would definitely avoid. The starters where okay at best. And a piece of cheesecake for 8 euros lol, tasted alright

Very nice and cosy place.can become a bit loud.the breakfast is really good.

Nice high tea deal. Everything fresh and dietary requirements taken into account. Unfortunately, the fresh ginger had dried out, so it no longer provided ginger tea.

At the main square. Beautiful location and great atmosphere. Had coffee and cake.

Very friendly staff. Just mega slow. The terrace is too big and not enough people work there.

Friendly staff, good food for a good price and cozy atmosphere.

Delicious food and very nice people. The dishes are made with care Definitely recommended!!!

What a lovely experience at a beautiful restaurant.

Great breakfast, top location, nice service

Had a nice lunch in the old hall next to the martini tower and a nice atmosphere.

Friendly staff! We had a delicious meal here and enjoyed the atmosphere

Super cozy and atmospheric tent. Very hospitable service and the service was top

we had a very nice breakfast. The staff was very friendly and helpful. After the breakfast there was no more room for lunch for me (:;). The location is very good and from upstairs you have a great view of the city center and its activities

What a super cozy and intimate place. Enormously tasty sole and very good/friendly service. Definitely recommended

a tourist spot, as they say you can't pass by, as the sun shines, there is no place. You have to wait to sit down from walks. Beer is great, but "bitterballs", a strange snack.💪💪💪💪💪

Center. From the windows there is a square, there is warmth and sweet music inside. Breakfast is wonderful. Everyone is kind and sweet. This place needs to be visited several times!!!

A meeting over a cup of coffee on my initiative to look back at the past with satisfaction and love. So I sat there. And you know what? That was exactly the right thing to do. And especially to completely let go of the toxic residue. The great thing was that there was a wedding going on at that time. A beautiful metaphor for everything I stand for! And there really is nothing, absolutely nothing, a lie about it! Let it ❤️ be the entrance to absolutely everything 🕊️

Unique place under the Martini Tower .. the autumn sun on the terrace watching passers-by, lots of students, nice (gives energy) and a very pleasant (extra-earning) service who are studying medicine. Oh well... the hamburger with cheese + fried onions, the pasta and American pancakes for dessert were good, nothing special but that's not necessary in this setting. We thoroughly enjoyed this moment.

In itself fine, nice service and reasonably fast, but the menu was sticky and so were the banisters... and I personally think that is a downside.

Ate delicious yoghurt ice cream and drank something. De Kostery also has delicious snacks to eat. You can sit outside very nicely.

Fuimos a De Kosterij por capricho y nos sentamos afuera, al sol. Pedimos nuestra comida y bebidas, los servidores y la cocina estaban muy atentos para mis alergias alimentarias. Hacía frío fuera y nos movimos dentro (no hicieron ningún alboroto al respecto). Pedí el slibtong (pez lenguado pequeño) y mi novio tagliatelle. Mi plato era muy sabroso y más que suficiente (tenía tres trozos de pescado) pero no me dieron papas fritas, tuve que pedirlas después (hasta que las conseguí mi plato estaba casi vacío). El tagliatelle de mi novio no era un plato enorme. Se fue con hambre (y se comió la mitad de mis papas fritas). Las chicas que servían no estaban muy presentes dentro (la mayoría de la gente estaba sentada afuera así que tenían prioridad) así que cuando dejé caer mi tenedor y pedí uno nuevo, finalmente tuvimos que ir a pedirnos un reemplazo (y lo que recibí nos hizo reír ya que conseguí un pequeño tenedor, pero está bien, no me impidió comer el pescado) Un consejo más: nuestros cócteles estaban demasiado “diluidos” (demasiados cubitos de hielo, muy poco alcohol en él) En general, realmente volvería por la gran comida y el personal amable, aunque podrían hacer algo sobre la falta de servicio rápido.

Very nice place, friendly people, delicious food. A view on the first floor is recommended.

Number of stars for the number of ice cubes you get in your drink...

Very nice terrace and delicious bitterballen.

Op een prachtlocatie, met noorder gastvrijheid een meer dan prima kopje koffie hier gedronken. Het was super dan aangenaam!

Ate a delicious bouncer and drank ginger thhe.

Love everything about here. The service is amazing and the vibe is great.

It was a busy Saturday afternoon and we were a group of 10 people, so it was quite difficult to get a spot in Groningen, so we walked onto the terrace to see if a spot could be arranged for 10, everything was immediately arranged and we were seated within 5 minutes. wonderful with a beer in the sun in the heart of Groningen. Many thanks again for this 🙏 And the food was also well arranged and all 10 people received a high grade for the quality. So when you visit Groningen, stop by the sexton.

I have been to this place 3-4 times. I love their breakfast menu. My favorite is "English breakfast". If you sit upstairs, you can get a nice view of the Grote Markt. The staff is very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a nice breakfast or brunch.

Very nice place and staff, amazing location. Love the paprika soup and the burger!

Enjoy sitting on the terrace with a delicious meal! Top service

Great tent, delicious food. And friendly service.

Beautiful location for catering, at the foot of the Martini Tower. The service is just good, but unfortunately it took a very long time before we got our food. Too bad, because it wasn't that busy...

Place with a lot of wind, glassware broken by the wind and it took a long time before staff started working on it. 0.0 Weizener on map.

Looks nice, but it's a long wait for your food, the croquettes were cold and the bread old

Wonderful place to enjoy Groningen. Right under the Martini Tower. Good drinks and food. Nice service. Recommended.

Ok, I need another review for the next life. I have been here once in De Kostery (March 2017) and that was the last time after a bizarre experience that I still regularly tell the next time I eat a croquette somewhere. I ordered bread and croquettes here and halfway through the meal I noticed that the croquette still contained ice (frozen), I politely reported this and the lady (waitress) looked at me strangely and dipped her finger in my croquette. to check if this was really true!! (as if it was the most normal thing in the world) and felt as if she didn't believe me, but hey, the ice cream was there and she got a new croquette (without apologies). They really had a bad feeling about how things went. It's been a long time (almost 7 years) so assume the situation is different now. What can I say, I will eat here again soon, I often visit the area (Forum) and Martini Church.

Very quiet and pleasant place to sit and relax. I ordered english breakfast which was deliciously made, and on top of that, they served me a free orange juice. Very refreshing.

Dont EAT here, the food is over date, not fresh, it’s crowded, a lot of noise, don’t go to the toilet, it stinks, not clean, you will vomid and it’s very expensive, I don’t advice to eat or drink here except if you want to get sick, Please go somewhere else for some good food, so you don’t regret it like we did!

Reasonable place for lunch it seemed But quality is substandard Dishes were served with lukewarm fries. Received new fries after 15 minutes 😖 Overcooked hamburger The girl serving did her best, but the kitchen totally messed up First and last time here!

It's a cafe, but with the feeling of an old-fashioned Konditorei or Tearoom. Nice cakes and upstairs there is a nice view at the Grote Markt (central square of Groningen city).

Very nice service. Great cheese and sausage platter, the Aperol Spritz was also good.

Heerlijk gegeten! Werden snel geholpen en de jonge man was erg vriendelijk.

Lekker geluncht en aardige bediening. De toilet verdient nog wel zijn aandacht.

Leuke, mooie en zonnige locatie. Helaas liet de service te wensen over. Te weinig personeel in de bediening. Mensen liepen spontaan weg omdat ze niet geholpen werden.

Mooi terras op een fijne locatie.

Good food and costly environment. Right next to the martini tower and on a nice square.

Ondanks dat het weer niet helemaal top was toch heerlijk buiten op het terras gezeten met een wijntje

Lekker eten en lekker bier van de tap!

Lunch was lekker. Vriendelijke bediening. Prima locatie om onder de parasol te zitten en lekker rond te kijken.

Отличная кухня. Хорошая атмосфера. Заказывали ужин с рыбой, все было вкусно. Официант Виолетта, говорит на русском и английском, отдельная благодарность. Рекомендую.

Ik heb verschillende slechte ervaringen gehad met het serviceteam. Onbeschoft en onprofessioneel. Om nog maar te zwijgen over het feit dat het interieur zelf eruitziet als een bejaardentehuis. Wat een schande met zo'n locatie.

Alles wat mis kon gaan, ging fout. De timing liep helemaal verkeerd. Er werd vanalles verkeerd of niet geserveerd. De Mexican Burger was rauw en koud en de frieten hadden hooguit 2 seconden het frietvet gezien. Het toilet was goor. Het personeel deed wel zijn best om voor oplossingen te zorgen. (Gratis snacks en een drankje) Kortom, een restaurantbelevenis om u tegen te zeggen.

werd ons verteld en we gingen koffie drinken op de historische plek van de stad. Bedankt

I always thought the building was bigger, but it's small and quaint. Staff was friendly. They have some board/card games upstairs you can freely use to play. We had the pulled chicken flaguette. It came with a small side salad. Although the taste was nice I felf like it missed something. Perhaps some pickled onions could elevate the taste? All in alll decent place but nothing to "wow"

Een van de meest historisch verantwoorde plekken in Groningen, de voormalige kosterswoning van de beroemde Martinikerk, al heel lang met een horecabestemming. Je kunt via De Kostery de kerk bezoeken (kost 2 euro pp). Voor de MartiniTOREN moet je bij Groningen Store in het nabijgelegen Forum zijn. Sinds de Kostery in oktober 2018 in andere handen is, is de bediening sterk verbeterd en sneller. Dat was in het verleden nog wel eens een puntje hier. Lekkere koffiespecialiteiten, gebak en je kunt er ook eten. Het is geen uitgebreid restaurant, maar er is wel een keuken en je kunt een lekkere maaltijd krijgen hier. Of een tosti, uitsmijter, dat soort dingen. Populaire locatie voor toeristen, het kan soms heel druk zijn, vooral bij mooi weer als het terras ook open is. Maar je zit dan wel letterlijk aan de voet van de Martinitoren, da's leuk voor de selfies met je cappuccino...

Recently ate lunch here, second time I visited. Had an overall enjoyable experience. Staff friendly, lunch served quickly, large portions, good taste and good value.Typical traditional Dutch cuisine. Nice seating area upstairs with views over market square. Only thing is stairs are very steep! But otherwise would recommend as a good place in central Groningen. Look forward to returning.

Genau seit 37 Jahren kann ich das empfehlen,,gemütlich,,,und einmalig

Beneden gezeten, door kapot gewaaid waardoor er allemaal glas lag. Medewerker met veel agressie glas opgeruimd waardoor de hele zaak vol bloed lag!!!!! Overal lag bloed, en meneer is door wezen werken. Schandalig.

9,80 betaald voor het zieligste broodje geitenkaas ooit.

Prima eten voor een prima prijs. Personeel was ook zeer vriendelijk. Restaurant is alleen aan de kleine kant, dus voor grote groepen niet echt geschikt.

Cozy place, the service was friendly and efficient, the food was great! We got two breakfast menus and the price was very much worth the quality and portion we got! Very much recommended!!

Gemütliches Kaffee. Speisen sind ok aber nicht besonders. Bis das Essen kam hat es sehr lange gedauert.

My favorite spot in Groningen! If you come to Grote Markt it is necessary to visit De Kostery 😉! A polite service and perfect coffee! 🔝

Sehr leckeres Schnitzel mit Pommes. Freundlicher Service und die Preise waren auch ok👌.

We had breakfast and coffee here on a Saturday morning. It is ‘on the opposite side’ of the square by the Martini church, away from the other mass market eateries. Loved the location. We sat inside on the second floor (eerste verdieping). The service was great and fast. It is clear this restaurant is geared to tourists and out of town guests as it does accept Visa and Mastercard.

Freundlicher Service, gute Lage. Nicht so überlaufen wie die Lokale direkt auf dem Markt.

Leuke plek, vriendelijk personeel en wat we aten was goed van smaak. Daaruit blijkt een kok die met smaak kan koken. Toen we wilden bestellen bleek dat maar 1 vd 3 gerechten die op t bord stonden beschikbaar was. Nou leken ze ons alledrie lekker en verkozen we toch deze plek boven de wat meer op toeristen gerichte menu’s in de directe omgeving. Bovendien was degene die ons bediende zeer behulpzaam. Ik wilde t gerecht zonder brood en helaas miste ik daarnaast de groente die bij m’n vriend er wel bij zat. Toen ik aangaf dat t drankje wel erg zuinig was ingeschonken, kreeg ik te horen dat er strikte regels waren. Bovenop koud eten, is het geen aanleiding om hier nog eens terug te komen.

Nettes gemütliches Kaffee. Bisschen laut wenn ihr das Pech habt, dass noch ein oder zwei Junggesellenrudel dazu kommen. Dann ist der Biergarten zu laut. Bedienung hat unseren Platz mit dem Kaffee nicht gefunden. Zeit und Geduld braucht ihr vom Bestellen bis Bezahlen.

Erdinger van de tap, sowieso 5 sterren! Verder vriendelijk personeel, leuke locatie op de Grote Markt. Kom zeker nog eens terug

Freundliche und zügige Bedienung, gute Atmosphäre . Preise Ok

Hele fijne en aardige service/bediening. Leuke plek in het centrum van Groningen. Zowel eten als drinken was erg lekker & snel. Prijzen zijn goed te doen (alles is overal duur). Was iets verkeerd gegaan met een portie friet maar dit werd snel en goed opgelost. Aanrader!

Leuk terras onder de Martinitoren , maar het toilet kun je beter ergens anders opzoeken …
