Dudok Arnhem in Centrum

Good food and drinks and friendly staff

Poor service, they play rock-paper-scissors to see who goes to the customer. Had to wait a long time for food that wasn't tasty either. A shame, because Dudok has, but now had, a good reputation.

This a great cafe next to Eusebiuskerk in Arnhem. The food was delicious - I can vouch for the extremely good apple tart with amazing whipped cream, as well as delicious sandwiches. Pleasant helpful staff. If in town, do go.

Great place. Delicious food. Fried eggs and apple pie are delicious. Friendly staff. Smoking allowed on the terrace. Close to the parking garage.

Hello, I went for a coffee at Dudok on a Saturday afternoon with my wife R. Nigerova. She had experienced quite a bit during the morning with the Airborne in Oosterbeek 🇩🇪, so to fight the fatigue, this was a good idea 💤. The service was very fast, perhaps even too fast; while my wife briefly visited the restroom, I was approached four times with the question of whether I wanted to order something. Of course, I could have secretly downed a lot of wine during that time, but I decided to keep it civilized, ha ha 😃. The location right in front of the Eusebius Church is great; there are plenty of interesting characters walking by, so the entertainment is fine. The coffee itself was also fine 👍🏻 she found the chai latte my wife drank to be less good than the chai lattes she had drunk elsewhere in the city earlier, so if you are specifically looking for that, we would recommend something else. All in all, a fine place. Kind regards, R. Nigerov

Had a delicious lunch, cozy place.

Just a cup of coffee and a seasonal pastry; it was all tasty and the service did its job well too. However, the terrace was half closed? Several times people sat down only to be turned away by the Dudok staff. Make it clear that it is closed, or if so many people are sitting down, just open it up.

I love the atmosphere of the Dudok

As a long-time fan of Dudok The Hague, it is especially nice that I pass almost right by here on my public transport bike on my way to the station. So, naturally, I *had* to stop and enjoy the terrace for a moment. A very good choice, because this really is *the* Dudok experience. Hats off!

Had a baby shower today with a delicious high tea. The food was delicious and more than enough. I would recommend Dudok when it comes to high tea.

The food was good, but the staff were busy with many things except paying attention.

Over the past few months, it seems a lot of new staff has been hired, and I hardly ever see the familiar faces I saw here for years anymore. Unfortunately, this is also noticeable in the service and especially in the friendliness. Last week, I gave it one last chance, hoping it would be like it used to be. Unfortunately, that was disappointing again. And I did indeed point it out, but nothing is being done about it other than a ‘sorry’. What also strikes me is that I keep reading the same response from the owner in the reviews: apologies for the experience, but nowhere do I see that anything is actually being done with the feedback or that a solution is being offered. I find it very unfortunate, because I enjoyed coming here for years. But after multiple disappointments, this has unfortunately been the last time for me.

Visited Dudok Arnhem for the first time, and I think it will be the last. The service was prompt and polite, but the food was very disappointing. The fried egg sandwich was meager for the price, and the chicken Caesar salad consisted of a head of lettuce with some pieces of breaded chicken and a piece of bread. Moreover, it left a greasy aftertaste (oil?). By the end of the afternoon, we weren't feeling too well.

An exceptional interior in a former bank. The seating is lovely, and you can see into the open kitchen. A chic atmosphere. The outdoor terrace is quite large. The food was good, but nothing special. The cake was past its best. The service was friendly and attentive.

Very friendly people, food was great! Fast service, my food was there within 5 minutes.

Always good to take a break here for a moment before or after visiting the building across the street. You win one, you lose one...

Enjoyed a delicious lunch! Super fresh bread. Great service; nice and quick too! I am not a vegetarian, but I was very curious about the avocado with artichoke tapenade. Delicious! A small tip when paying by card: mention the amount so we can leave a tip. It would have been well deserved. As it was, we had no idea what we were paying and couldn't leave a tip.

End point of "The Night of the Refugee" Partly because of that, it was very pleasant in the early morning. Coffee and a cookie went down quite well.

Dudok is always a pleasure to be in. Great atmosphere, friendly staff. In short: a top-notch place!

What a beautiful, atmospheric building Dudok is. Had a delicious lunch!

Nice terrace, beautiful interior in a beautiful location. Super nice and friendly service. Great food for lunch.

Beautiful space, super tasty and large piece of apple pie. The coffee was also very good. And I was served quickly. Thank you!

We ate at Dudok, and overall it was a good visit with some ups and downs. The quality of the food was definitely a highlight. The dishes were freshly prepared, delicious, and beautifully presented. You can tell they place great importance on high-quality ingredients. We also really liked the ambiance: modern, stylish, and cozy at the same time – a restaurant where you generally feel comfortable. The staff was particularly friendly. The service was attentive, polite, and tried hard to remain friendly despite the somewhat chaotic service. Unfortunately, the order management was the biggest problem that evening. After about 15 minutes of waiting, we were told that the carpaccio was already sold out. We then ordered something else. Shortly afterward, we were suddenly told that carpaccio was available again. So, the second order was canceled and changed once more. In the end, the dish we had originally canceled arrived anyway, which only added to the confusion. While it wasn't a major issue, the organization seemed rather disorganized and caused unnecessary confusion. This doesn't quite fit with the overall concept of a restaurant that otherwise presents such a professional image. In conclusion: The food is very good and fresh, the ambiance is modern, and the service is genuinely friendly – ​​however, the internal coordination of orders needs significant improvement. Nevertheless, it's a generally recommendable restaurant with potential for further development.

Had a delicious cappuccino today on the outdoor terrace with friendly service.

It was pretty okay for lunch. It's cozier outside than inside.

Nice, the coffee and cake were fine. Very noisy though.

We sat here for 20 minutes and indicated twice that we wanted to order something, but unfortunately no one came to take our order.

The high tea with a group of 20 people was downright bad. The tea itself consisted of a choice of simple 'tea bags', with no fresh herbal or loose-leaf tea to choose from. Additionally, I expect beautifully arranged boards or tiered stands to be placed on the table for a high tea, but instead, a buffet was simply set up where we had to help ourselves. The savory rolls ran out at a certain point, and when we asked for some extra rolls, we were told that was it and nothing more would be added. This was despite the fact that the number of people had been clearly agreed upon. The apple pie was thawed and soggy, as were the macarons. In between courses, the wait staff did not come to ask if everything was to our liking or if we wanted something else to drink. When we had finished eating, the tables were not cleared, and we were left sitting in the mess. If you are thinking of organizing a fun activity, do not do it at Dudok.

Had some delicious coffee at Dudok Arnhem.

On Saturday afternoon, the regular beer wasn't at the right temperature... Staff not really friendly. Otherwise, a beautiful location, which makes up for it a little.

We had a fantastic event last Tuesday in the backyard of Dudok Arnhem. Everything was excellently arranged, from the communication and confirmations beforehand to the support from the staff at the venue itself. The food and drinks were excellent, and the atmosphere was perfect. We definitely recommend this location to anyone looking to organize a group event!

To be honest, our expectations of Dudok were high. Dudok used to stand for quality and experience, and that is precisely why we wanted to introduce our young children to a pleasant lunch here today. Unfortunately, things turned out completely differently. Upon arrival, it turned out that a large part of the menu was unavailable. The Vitello Tonato was sold out, and the meal salads—which were supposed to be available to order from 11:30 AM—turned out to be unavailable by 12:30 PM. That is remarkable, to say the least, for a lunch spot. In the end, we chose the Tuna Melt, among other things. What we received was a single slice of bread with something supposed to look like tuna, covered in melted cheese. For €14, that is truly below expectations. The kids' menu (fish and chips) was also disappointing: half a plate filled with sauces, a small piece of fish, and a handful of fries for €15. What should have been a special and fun experience turned into a major disappointment. We left the restaurant not only €100 poorer, but also with rumbling stomachs and a massive hangover. It is a shame to see how a name with so much history can be such a disappointment.

Great spot to sit. Fast and friendly staff. We were greeted quickly and asked if anything needed to be fetched. The table we were sitting at wobbled really badly, unfortunately, but that is just bad luck, of course. Had a nice lunch!

Enjoyed a delicious lunch, the twelve o'clock treat, divine.🥳 With a warm apple pie with whipped cream for dessert. We ordered it to share. 😎 But that caused quite a few problems! Because that apple pie is so delicious!🤩🤣

During my recent visit to Dudok Arnhem, I unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. During my stay, I was surprised to see a mouse running through the premises. This raises serious questions regarding hygiene and food safety, which is unacceptable for a hospitality establishment. I reported this immediately to the staff. However, the responses I received were mixed and did not give me the feeling that my report was being taken seriously. For this reason, I requested to speak to the manager. To my disappointment, the manager responded in an unprofessional manner, remarking that I choose to eat here myself. I consider this response inappropriate and not customer-oriented. I find it concerning that such a situation is not handled adequately and that no understanding or responsibility is shown towards the guest. I hope that this feedback is taken seriously and that appropriate measures are taken to improve both hygiene and customer service.

Lunch: meat croquette, cup of soup, and egg salad with 2 slices of bread is a winner.

3rd visit to Dudok Arnhem. This time a marinated chicken sandwich and a Tripel Karmeliet. Wow, what a taste sensation. The chicken was deliciously spicy with a sweet sauce and pickled cucumber. Not suitable for everyone! The staff is still very nice, although I do see a lot of new faces. Dudok, definitely worth a visit!

With the beautiful weather today, we really wanted to sit outside in the sunshine. This was not possible, as there were still empty tables standing there that were not allowed to be used. The young lady also cheekily pointed out that she couldn't conjure up tables. She didn't need to conjure them up; they were already there and were simply empty. We all went to eat somewhere else.

The lunch was tasty, the space a bit dull and dated but perfectly fine for a cozy atmosphere. Furthermore, the service was excellent, friendly and very attentive. We come here quite often, including for a night of comedy. All in all, it is otherwise fine here.

Upon entering, a female and a male employee were standing in the doorway who were only focused on themselves and completely ignored us. No good afternoon, they were just busy with each other. We sat down, completely ignored by all the staff. After 10 minutes I went to the restroom; upon returning, no order had been taken yet. Everyone was busy clearing tables but there was no eye contact whatsoever. After 20 minutes we just left because we seemed invisible to the staff. What a terrible place and absolutely no atmosphere.

Cozy place, nice staff, and good service. What more could you ask for?! I will definitely be back!

Really nice!! It used to be the bank!! Beautiful building inside

Nice, cozy place in the center of Arnhem.

Went to a comedy night, not the restaurant. Great evening, lots of different comedians.

Great vibe, friendly people, delicious food

Not our first time here. We did have to wait for someone to show us to a table, which took way too long this time. All the staff walking by didn't greet us, didn't even look goodbye, or acknowledge us. We left. We didn't feel like waiting any longer, knowing it would also take a long time to place an order and get our food. We went somewhere else. Because of our decision, the people behind us followed suit. It was a shame for this otherwise nice place.

Beautiful place to eat or drink. Lovely atmosphere.

I've been there a few times for lunch, and it's just fine, a beautiful location. However, because it's very high and hollow, it can get noisy, and you can barely hear yourself when it's busy. The staff is friendly.

Always good for a delicious lunch. Sharing is also possible: one extensive lunch with two plates. Top location!

Had a cup of coffee here, it was busy and cozy inside.

This is always a great place to stop for a drink and perhaps something to eat when visiting Arnhem. Beautifully situated next to the church.

Expensive! Coffee €3.95. Ginger tea €4.75. Friendly and attentive staff, though. Am is cheaper.

It takes a while for service to arrive. A bit noisy. Alternative atmosphere. The coffee is nice and hot.

Good food, beautiful decor, and hardworking staff. The place is enormous and tastefully decorated. Regarding the ambiance, the lights could be a bit dimmer. Otherwise, it's absolutely fantastic. The lunch was delicious! We ordered a 12-hour snack, which was perfect. The pea soup and egg salad were especially delicious. Be on time, as this place fills up quickly. Reservations are, of course, an option.

Cozy restaurant with friendly staff. The only thing I don't like is the acoustics. There's little sound insulation. We had the carpaccio sandwich, which I highly recommend. Very tasty and generously filled. Dudok is definitely recommended!

Enjoyed a cup of coffee on Sunday morning. A beautiful Christmas tree is on display. The coffee and pastries are delicious.

nice staff, but very noisy when crowded. Everybody seems to need to raise their voice to overcome the noise of all the other people present. Would suggest to improve acoustics.

Dudok is anywhere nice to visit.

Greetings from Hungary, one day I will take my family and my little son to the Netherlands, to this great place where I can find my family roots 😊👍🏻

Friendly staff, crowded and noisy place. The mulled wine was lukewarm, and we had to pay €10 per glass for it. In our case, very poor value for money.

Nicely decorated cafe/restaurant. A bit noisy when it's quite busy.

Perfect place for lunch Good service and prices

Here you can relax on the terrace or enjoy delicious apple pie inside the atmospheric restaurant. The service is a bit slow, though.

Fast and friendly service. Great atmosphere. Friendly, attentive young staff, one taking orders and the other bringing them. The bitterballs and loaded fries were excellent.

Beautiful surroundings, warm atmosphere, good coffee, excellent service!

A really nice place, large but not uncomfortable. Extensive menu for lunch, drinks, and dinner.

Delicious lunch with a large group!

It's a unique place. But inside, the tiles make it feel a bit chilly. That's a matter of taste. However, the reverberation of all the sound is too much. You can barely hear each other. Even in a historic building, that's something you can certainly do something about. Ordering, despite the presence of staff, is done via a QR code. A runner puts it down without saying a word and disappears again. Upon leaving, you have to search for someone to pay. You don't do that immediately upon ordering. Well, I experience better connectivity and service at the average Gastgood chain. Average chance, because it's a beautiful store with beautiful products.

Nice place, friendly service, because of the high ceilings it is a bit noisy even when we were there and it wasn't busy.

A lovely place for lunch; the Croque Caprese is delicious and definitely recommended. It's relatively quiet inside, and outside offers a beautiful view—both are always a good option. The staff is also friendly and considerate of allergies and other requests.

Great place for a drink! The waitress was very friendly. It was pretty quiet on a Friday evening.

Meh... a fine lunch, but 4.80 for a cappuccino!??? No, it wasn't that good. Otherwise, it was fine. Too bad smoking is allowed on the terrace.

Although the ceilings are high, entirely in Dudok style, the restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere

Great atmosphere! It’s a classic! Open until late and in the heat of town. Definitely recommend. Also a nice place to work or just read a book or news paper.

Nice bar restaurant smack in downtown Arnhem next to the Eusebius church's entrance. Effective bar menu type dishes throughout the day.

Great restaurant. Friendly service, excellent food.

We regularly pop in for a cup of coffee and share a cake. Friendly service. It's great that part of the terrace is also smoke-free. Dudok is always a pleasure to visit. Also for lunch or dinner, a delicious satay.

The food was okay. However, the tables needed to be wiped down more often; everything was sticky. The service was friendly, and English was sufficient. If you wanted another drink, you had to wait a long time for someone to respond. The prices were reasonable.

Nice place with friendly service and delicious food and drinks 👌

I come here often for coffee and cake, and I usually have a great experience. From the cafés I've tried in Arnhem they have the biggest variety of cakes, and all of them are really tasty. I especially love their Black Velvet cake. The coffee is great too. The only bad experience I had was when I ordered chai tea and it had so much cinnamon it I couldn't drink it. The service is also friendly.

Super nice team and good service

Definitely recommended for a delicious lunch!!!!

Very slow service!!!!!! Come back to the beer garden, are we still in the Netherlands???? Are you joking?

Nice spot on the terrace. I had the vitello tonnato and it was delicious. My partner thought the fried eggs were a bit disappointing in size. Delicious homemade iced tea!

Unfortunately the kitchen was already closed but the apple pie (with whipped cream) was delicious!

Great spot at Dudok, in the beer garden. Friendly service, delicious snack platter (the Dudok Snack Platter). And just a lovely place to spend a few hours.

Sat in the beer garden, very cozy and enjoyed a delicious weizen beer

Today I had a wonderful time in the beer garden at Dudok. It was super cozy! Good glasses of wine and beer, and great service! Definitely recommend.

A beer garden in Arnhem is great. One minor drawback is that the promised half-liter of wine was "only" 0.3 liters.

The beer garden is a great idea! And the staff is friendly; I always enjoy coming here.

Wonderful spot in Arnhem city center. The Biergarten is especially great for gathering with a group. Excellent service!

Went there tonight, what a disgrace. Tables covered in birds' shit. German beer was impossible to order. Schnitzel was small and very overcooked. Side of fries for €17.50. Absolutely no atmosphere. Get it right or quit. I'm done with it. A friendly waiter, though, with long dark hair.

Top location, with a beer garden, lovely terrace, and courtyard, something for everyone. We had a great opening with music, jugglers, and a great atmosphere! Fantastic location!

Delicious matcha, highly recommended!

At Dudok Arnhem, they've come up with the absurd idea of turning part of the terrace into a "beer garden." The problem is that the main terrace (where most people sit!), located in front of the building, is being treated to blaring oompah music. What a disgrace this decision by Dudok! We quickly finished our drinks and fled. What a sham! Dudok wouldn't even consider doing that in Amsterdam or The Hague.

Very noisy, lots of echo in the building!

In the summer there are no fans or air conditioners, so it is stuffy. It is noisy and the tables are so close together that you feel no privacy.

We found the food very mediocre! Lacked a bit of creativity and it wasn't exceptionally tasty. Service on the other hand was super friendly!

A beautiful city with so much to offer. The history behind it gave me a bit of a stomach ache. Hospitality and good humor are a top priority; highly recommended.

Friendly service and what a pleasant surprise, that sauce with the eggs Dudok! What a delicious combination with the brioche bread, I felt like licking my plate clean (maybe I did a little bit 😉). Recommended!
