Gasterij 51 in Binnenstad

We were in Middelburg for a few days and, based on the reviews, chose De Gasterij 51 for dinner. It turned out to be a good choice! We received a friendly welcome and a lovely table, even though we hadn't booked... There were quite a few diners inside! The menu was clear, and it was easy to make a choice. The order came through quickly and correctly, and it was well worth it. Time for a few friendly words at the table. In short, a place to remember.

Cozy, warm and inviting. Casual atmosphere, cozy. Friendly and good service. Menu: more than excellent. We had delicious chicken satay and fish stew. Plenty of it and delicious flavor. Very nice beer menu. You don't see that often. Noise level: excellent. The owner probably took this to heart. Recommended.

What a lovely place! The staff are incredibly friendly. They truly know how to be customer-friendly. The food was truly delicious. They were also very sweet, caring, and thoughtful towards our 3-year-old daughter.

Terrible! We received the cards politely to choose to dine for four. Then we didn't even look at them for 45 minutes. The young waitresses were seriously behind the bar with a beer, but didn't even look at the people eating. Never done that before; we got up, left our drinks, and left, only to find a good meal elsewhere, with good service! Never again!

Great food. Very friendly service. Quite noisy, though. Nice atmosphere.

We had a wonderful meal. We had the stew, the kebab, and the brochette, and everything was excellent! The chef even came by beforehand to ask how the meat was cooked. The service was friendly and efficient. There was a slight communication issue with the order, but this was immediately resolved. There's a pleasant buzz. A great atmosphere for dining with friends. Definitely recommended!

Fine for a quick bite to eat, but it's a noisy pub instead of a restaurant. The owner plays the music so loudly later in the evening that it hurts your ears. We actually fled outside. No tip, of course.

Cozy, friendly, and delicious food at excellent value. Highly recommended.

Always fun there. The food is very good.

Delicious food and friendly staff!! Had a great evening.

Great little bar tucked slightly away from the tourist traps that litter the town squares of Middleburg. The menu is tight, presumably with an emphasis on quality, and the steak and fries I was served were ace. Literally some of the greatest chips I've ever tasted, I had to reign myself in from ordering a second portion. My wife, as a lifelong resident of Texas, considers herself somewhat of an expert when it comes to ribs, and she declared hers to be out of this world; a great blend of dry and wet rubs with the ribs themselves cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. Desserts too were outstanding and the meal for two (including cocktails) came in at under 100 Euros, so brilliant value for a great meal.

A simple, traditional Dutch café with a quick bite. Ideal for a quick bite. Limited but varied menu.

Very friendly pub. The food was fantastic. 10/10.

Great brown cafe with delicious food and friendly service.

The food was excellent! The atmosphere was also good. The service was a bit understaffed, but friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!

Perfect food, we had the saté and the beef sword. Very friendly staff and price quality is just good. We can absolutely recommend 👌

Best spareribs in Walcheren. Beautiful St. Louis ribs with a good marinade. The stew is also good, but the baby potatoes are so-so, but not bad.

The Spare ribs were great. Taste and portion.

Pub style restaurant, with typical pub food. Defenatly try the secret weapon

Had a lovely meal yesterday, what a relaxed atmosphere. A bit too noisy... started with a birthday regular but that can't detract from the quality of the food, the relaxed atmosphere and the friendly service. It was right that it was a bit busy on this Monday evening. Really recommended if you like a quality eatery.

Super cozy. Nice and busy. Efficient service and a somewhat limited menu. Chose schnitzel and enjoy a nice beer. Also back on the table quickly. Delicious with fried mushrooms. Better than those sauces. All in all, pleasantly busy, good food and affordable. There is no reason to go here for good food and drinks. In any case, I will come back (again).

We ate here for the first time today. We opted for Shared dinner for 2. That was so delicious. 3 different dishes were offered per course. Starter, main course and dessert. Our compliments for the chef and the service of the waiters. We will come back when we are in Middelburg again. .

We were there for dinner. Dark pub atmosphere with a large bar. It was quiet when we visited. The food was average to good. Friendly service and a large selection of drinks.

Had spareribs here last night and they were delicious! Super friendly service. So I'll say if I'm there again I'll get another rack 😃

Delicious food, fresh products and above all very friendly service!!

Had dinner here on Monday evening with the two of us. Cozy cafe, spare ribs are sublime. Pork tenderloin with brie and pepper sauce also highly recommended. For those who love desserts and especially the waffle, this is really the tastiest! We will definitely come back here again.

The sharing dinner was great! Ideal for people who can't choose, because you can taste everything. It was very tasty, more than enough and the service was very friendly. In short, highly recommended!

We had a very nice meal in Gasterij 51, we did not make a reservation, but we did get a table for 4 people.

Never make a reservation here for Monday. Is open on the website, we reserved. Four emails, oh how nice that you are coming. Even on Sunday evenings at 6:10 PM, 9:15 PM they call, it's wrong on the site. Be honest and say that you are waiting for the reservations. Once you are seated, you can arrange something else. Worthless, that's not how you treat your guests. Would be ashamed to death.😡😡 learn for next time, NEVER here again

Location a bit noisy, advice to do something about the acoustics. More than enough food, very large portions. The oven malfunction that caused the waiting time to increase was resolved properly. We had a beautiful evening. Thank you.

Ate here for the 3rd time now. A really nice restaurant with a good piece of meat on the menu. The secret weapon is highly recommended for me👌

Cosy, warm decor (brown café-like with nice beer signs and old drinks bottles as candle holders), hospitable service and good food. I loved the pumpkin risotto! Upon departure we greeted someone from behind the bar - very nice!

I have never been inside, so how does this question arise?

There were several groups. So group 1 starter, then group 2 starter etc Then group 1 meat dish, group 2 meat dish Then group 1 fries and then group 2 who had long finished the meat dish and received fries...humorous comments. We had also indicated in advance that we wanted the meat medium. This had to be returned because it was weird. We got the meat back after the fries...see above.. Due to the large number of visitors, drinks questions were not answered at the table and no empty or dirty items were collected. Didn't ask if everything was okay. I think it is a very nice environment to eat and drink if there are not too many visitors present at the same time... managing the number of guests is recommended!

The food was delicious and the service was also great. The atmosphere could use some freshening up

Surprisingly tasty. Simple ambiance but very tasty food.

Had dinner earlier on a Sunday, it was fine. Now this time, not recommended. Onion soup didn't look like anything. Food came in stages. 4 out of 5 people got a main course, later number 5 did too and later the fries arrived. It was a busy evening with many young people singing and loud music.

Delicious! Very helpful and personal

The 4 of us ate there, we placed our order around 6 and received our main course around 8 o'clock, which is too long. Furthermore, the catering prices are in line with the catering industry. And the food is good

The food was good. Not great, but tasty. My main point is that the flesh of the sword is not the same. The tip was well done and it became more 'weird' as you ate towards the handle. Service is good, but there is no real communication between each other, which meant that employees often asked double questions (whether we would like something to drink even though we have just ordered). Atmosphere was okay. Very loud inside, but a good attempt was made to make it attractive with nice lamps and wall decoration.

Friendly staff, excellent food and very cozy.

Good food, good beer, good music, James Bond wants... you know

Great food for a reasonable price. Excellent service. I had already started eating, delicious sea bass!

Nice restaurant, nice service and delicious cuisine😋highly recommended 👍

Immediately felt comfortable, ate excellently, great service! Finally normal people!!!

Chateaubriand melts in the mouth. Dessert Gasterij51 is great!

The food was fine. For me the music was a bit loud, but it is a cafe. Hypersensitivity to sound? Then don't come here. The staff was very friendly and regularly asked if everything was okay. We used the surprise plate. Very tender chicken and carpaccio with the starter. Spare ribs came melting off the bone. Delicious. Scampis, fish fillet, fine. The steak was a bit drier although cooked rare. Dessert board with mini brownies, cheesecake, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, chocolate and a chatterbox. All tasty. Toilets are ok clean, it is a cafe so it is slightly different from a fancy restaurant. But fine. The child at the neighbors table was treated lovingly. So that also seems to be fine. High chair also available. All in all, the food was excellent, the treatment was excellent

I really like this place, nice service and good beers. But i noticed that quality of food is unequal. Some are amazing, other average. I was there a couple of times, and my opinion is, that meat thete is much better than fish. I love the steak and pepper sauce! Unfortunately sometimes we needed to wait too long for our food, even if the restaurant was totally empty.

Great pub-restaurant, excellent service, decent food (the steak was top quality). Just the 80's music was not of my taste.

Service was very nice and fast. Food was more than fine! Great atmosphere..

In winter it is very cold at the front of the store and when the door opens it is quite draughty

Nice place also cozy for a drink after a delicious meal. Nice service. The music could be turned down a little later in the evening to have a conversation.

Cozy cafe with a very tasty steak / Tournedos. Friendly staff and fair prices

Ate here on recommendation, not disappointed. Has a warm appearance, service is friendly and hospitable. Food is delicious and affordable.

Good & cozy Restaurant, steak is good 👍

Cozy, friendly staff, the food was delicious!

One of the few places I've found in NL that serves Bruges Zot on tap. Always friendly service, and their portions are very un-European. Which means they're great. They were even kind enough to keep their kitchen open when I showed up slightly late from the office.

A real brown pub. Today was full of the brown shirts of the FvD. So we looked for another location to eat.

De Gasterij is more than worth its name! This Monday evening, the operator and entrepreneur opened his business in a very hospitable manner for a successful meeting of the Forum for Democracy in Middelburg. Pepijn van Houwelingen and Tjerry Boudet were present and accepted the hospitality with both hands. With respect, a top tent!

It takes too long to get anything and it's too expensive for nothing. Converted pub

Had a shared dinner and it was really tasty. Despite the crowds, we still got a spot at the bar and the service was great.

What a nice place to have a good meal! Delicious, the steak on a cast iron plate. Let that continue for a while. You can then decide for yourself whether you want something well done. Perfect! Nice service. The gentlemen really made an effort to make it a fun experience. A nice bottle of wine and a glass of water without charging anything. Great experience! And the Chef Dessert himself brought the dish. A young boy who has tried very hard. Enjoy.

The Sword of 51, highly recommended!

top tent with friendly staff and good food😁👍👌

Excellent food, top service and a great atmosphere.

Had a delicious meal at this nice cafe. You can have a nice drink here but also enjoy delicious food. Good portions and everything was more than tasty. Very friendly service, with a passion for the business.

Delicious food. Friendly service, cozy with a lot of humor. People clearly enjoy it and are looking forward to it.

A charming and excellent restaurant. This is a perfect place near the sailing lake sites, where we drop by for dinner. We were so happy with many options, including vegan and vegetarian. The waiter and waitress are amiable and provide good service. The fish we order is also delicious.

Delicious lunch in a pleasant atmosphere

Had a nice lunch at Gasterij 51. Cozy on the Langeviele in the center of Middelburg. Welcoming and an attractive atmosphere.

really enjoyed the shared dining, more than enough for 2 people. nice staff and good service. highly recommended!

Good cuisine. Friendly service. We found the atmosphere a bit too jolly, with loud music and lots of loud laughter and shouting from other tables. But if you like that, you've got a good one.

In the evening they offer a small evening menu for dinner. The store was quite busy, mostly with beer-drinking men manning the counter. And when friends get together, it gets a little loud... What was surprising, however, was the attentive, good service from the male waitress. The seviered Varekenhaas with a mushroom sauce and the satay were quite good - especially because it was on a Monday when almost all the restaurants in town are closed. The two of us left the restaurant/pub and left €53 there...

Super helpful and nice staff. I am sensitive to light and without asking I was offered to turn down the lights. Furthermore, very friendly service, a nice and cozy atmosphere and the food tasted good!

Great place to have a drink or something to eat.

Try walking without having a drink on a nice day, the terrace beckons. Attractive café inside, but also wonderful outside.

Good burgers and fries, friendly staff and central location

Simply great, simple but very charming restaurant with a great pub atmosphere, which, in addition to its friendly, funny and relaxed staff, also offers great food. Only recommended!!! We not only felt completely taken care of but also felt very comfortable!!! A huge thank you to the entire Gasterij 51 team.

Loved almost everything.The ribs were meaty and not too spicy but the schnitzel could have been better.Big portions,we barely could finish.Staff was friendly and fast.We'll come back for sure

We had a very nice and good meal, actually there was no room left, so we could eat at the buffet, perfectly arranged

We had dinner here with a group of friends. The service was friendly and loved a joke, the food was great, certainly a (perhaps undiscovered) gem in Middelburg!!!

Smooth operation to deal with. But also in delivering the order, even if all tables are occupied. There was no long wait. Food also very good. Tasted good and nicely prepared. Location combination of restaurant/café, which created a pleasant atmosphere. Enjoyed it wonderfully!

Cozy, food good, service at the table good, atmospheric, a little tastier on the plate would be nice. Okay we will definitely come back

Delicious food!! Nice atmosphere and busy!! Pleasant friendly service, even with 3 person staff..very friendly.Absolutely recommended

It was great and the food was delicious. What a pleasant, spontaneous, sweet hostess

For us a winner, delicious food, tasty steak on the sword, good atmosphere, we will definitely come back

Super nice eatery! I had a great evening.

Cozy restaurant/pub. Good food and drinks

Few staff, after a long wait we got meat that had barely touched the plate... More than 2 hours later and still no food. We left. Not one more time for us....

Very long wait, too few staff, 1 cook then after waiting 2 hours for the main course, meat raw, undercooked and tough, Leaving this place with screeching tires, what a travesty, never eating here again.

A cozy café with friendly and attentive service. We ate there in the evening and opted for the shared dining menu. You will then receive various starters, main courses and desserts on a platter. Delicious and certainly enough. Recommended!

Lady at the counter a bit too jovial....Owner very nice. Soup was tasty, a bit watery. My steak was tasty. My friend's sirloin steak was full of tendons.. Fries were tasty, but few. Background music was loud, but a nice place with photos/lists of Middelburg, well done👍

Great restaurant, good food, nice service

Last Saturday we had a delicious meal at Gasterij 51. The friendly ladies at the service did their very best (it was very busy) to make everyone happy. Small issues were resolved very well and the food was really delicious! Dessert was a great choice....;) We had a very nice evening with you! Thanks again from Westland and keep it up!!!

Delicious food, cozy restaurant and friendly staff.

Cozy atmosphere, super hostess and delicious planks 😋! We will be back!

Delicious and surprising food, nice atmosphere, top service. Highly recommended for meat lovers.

What a delicious meal we had. And the tastiest carpaccio there is! Cozy restaurant, very friendly staff and delicious food!

Cozy decorated brasserie, delicious pork belly and perfect Chilean wine, great service and the owner, when he has the time, tells stories. beautiful guy.

You provided a happy birthday for my son today. Thanks to the chefs, service and owner. It was delicious and atmosphere was excellent. Highly recommended. Thank you team gallery 51
