Gasterij de Kluis in Wijk 00 Doorn

Nice restaurant. It's a shame about the mistake when paying the bill, although it was properly corrected after we discovered it.

Too bad about the people smoking outside under the parasols.

Yesterday I had lunch here with a friend. Besides the fact that the service was constantly quite slow, the food was not great. I ordered the sandwich with warm goat cheese with honey, walnuts, and dried figs. I expect a beautifully presented plate with a tasty sandwich for this. The attached photo is what was served to me. I was so astonished by it at the time that I didn't say anything, but personally, I find it sad that I paid for this; I could have made this at home. I also had to place the walnuts and figs on the bread myself; they looked a bit like they were thrown onto the plate at the last minute, and I could count them on one hand. There was honey on the bread, but the bread itself was otherwise very dry; no butter or oil was used. Personally, I expected better quality from this restaurant. Addendum following owner's response: Personally, I think the plate I was served looks very sad and not very appetizing. It is not very difficult to liven up a sandwich like this a bit with some lettuce, or at least put the toppings *on* the bread…. Search “goat cheese sandwich” on Google; everything you see there looks tastier than what I was served. Once again, the bread was dry, and I could have made this better at home. Furthermore, as a business owner, I find this response extraordinarily rude and customer-unfriendly, but I see that this is a recurring theme in this owner's comments. I do not expect anything to be done about my complaint, but given that I have always had good experiences at De Kluis in the past, this (and this response) surprises me greatly. This is what will stick with me; my friends and I will therefore not be returning here.

Lovely terrace, steaks, fries, salad... nice, friendly staff.

Affordable and good food in a nice and friendly environment. The 3-course offer for €36.50 is very good, with a choice from the entire menu. It is a pity that the terrace is not smoke-free; if you sit at the edges of the terrace, you will hardly be bothered by it.

They say €2.50 per shot When the bill comes, it's €4.50 And it's the intern's fault..... so you end up paying the jackpot…… clearly never coming here again. Transparency is nowhere to be found.

Good food, friendly staff! The only downside and disturbing thing I find is that there is a lot of smoking on the terrace.

Cozy terrace for a stopover with bikes. Delicious apple pie. Friendly host. Everything clean and tidy.

I ate here for the second time tonight. Of course, I had already praised this restaurant for its quality and customer friendliness the first time. But I really wanted to see if it would be just as good the second time. Without any doubt, I want to express my sincere compliments to the staff. We were received and assisted very kindly. It felt like a young girl was being trained. She was assisted with great respect by, I believe, the owner at the time. Naturally, there must also be a review of the food. And there is nothing to complain about there either. The food is of very good quality and the portions were quite large. It was the first time I had to say, "Sorry, I am really full." I cannot praise and thank you enough for this wonderful evening I had at your place. Until next time!

The staff really seem to enjoy working there. Extremely hospitable, delicious food, and a good terrace.

We had ordered a Tosti and a lunch special; just before we were served, we heard a plate fall at the entrance. We said to each other with a smile, "Well, it's going to take a while," because there was no one else sitting there. Two minutes later, our lunch arrived anyway. I asked my girlfriend if this was the dropped Tosti; the ketchup was already on the bottom of the sandwich, and there was ketchup in the lettuce too, along with some black grains on the bread and such. But you think, "Yeah, that could still be from frying," but then doubt sets in. We decided to pay inside anyway, and there, indeed, lay the remains of our Tosti, ketchup, and greens by the front door. Unbelievable that this is still possible in the Netherlands and that it was shamelessly served again. Small note: my wife is also heavily pregnant.

Terrible. It moves very slowly. The waiter acts very friendly but actually does absolutely nothing. The knives are practically falling apart. We also didn't get a menu and had to look at a board. The food is extremely greasy. The egg was burnt, and when you cut into it, grease came out everywhere. Definitely do not go there.

Reasonable quality, comparable to a simple beach bar. Tenderloin really shouldn't be called that; if you had put steak tips on the menu, you wouldn't have heard me complain, but don't call this tenderloin. I would have liked to mention it personally but didn't get the opportunity because the staff had already left when I wanted to point it out. "Can we pay?" Literal response: "at the bar".

While the sparrows were dropping dead from the roof in temperatures of around 38 degrees, there were ten of us sitting at this cozy restaurant. They had very cleverly advertised that you could eat cool there. That was a bit enthusiastic: there were fans and air conditioning, but sweat was streaming off us, and that wasn't because the Thai chicken soup was so spicy. Speaking of which: that soup was very tasty, as were the pulled pork and shrimp croquettes that were eaten. For the main course, I had a stuffed eggplant (actually a lasagna with eggplant on the bottom, very tasty). The chicken schnitzel was deemed a bit too thick, just like the burger. I see that as unnecessary generosity: less is more in these cases. The ice cream also gets a solid thumbs up. And then the service: despite the heat, very friendly and attentive. A big thumbs up.

Went here for lunch. Large outdoor terrace, friendly staff. Plenty to choose from. Highly recommended.

Had a delicious lunch. Lots of choice. Tasty beers on tap. Very friendly staff. Outdoor terrace.

At Gasterij “De Kluis” in Doorn, we enjoyed a Spa Red and a Bitter Lemon on the terrace, lovely in the sunshine. A super cozy place with fast and friendly service. 👍👍

We ate at De Kluis (dinner); it was downright terrible! It was a 3-course dinner; for the starter, we had prawns in garlic oil. The prawns were incredibly tough, and the bread was so hard you could throw a hole in someone's head with it. And that's not even mentioning the main course. What really stood out was the Liège waffle…. It was a cold sugar waffle from the supermarket with whipped cream from a can, even though the menu states that everything is freshly prepared!! This is truly ridiculous…… Photo added of the menu clearly stating freshly prepared….

Had lunch. Not bad, but nothing special.

Had a delicious meal there. Just missed some vegetables. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff was very friendly.

Very tasty food and friendly staff!

Tasty food, good portions. The atmosphere is great.

Had a lovely time in the vault, enjoyed some delicious Sam Sam. The owner is also a star and even gave us a free baguette, very nice of him. Definitely recommended, and also had some nice drinks with him.

The best restaurant I have ever been to.

Super cozy restaurant, the service is very friendly, and the food is delicious! Definitely recommended!

Great location, great people, and delicious food. It was a bit much, but definitely better than leaving hungry.

Husband's 75th birthday. Although the service wasn't great, I still gave it 5 stars because it's usually always quick. The food was delicious, with a samsam menu; quite large portions, especially delicious and beautifully presented.

The food was delicious! Good portions and everything was delicious.

Just had dinner on Christmas Day, it was excellent, ordered the special Christmas menu, good and smooth service.

The staff finds other things more important than the customer, but the food is excellent.

De Kluis in Doorn truly surprised me. The food was delicious, the drinks just as delicious, but the staff made the experience complete. So sweet, so thoughtful, and genuinely attentive to the guests. You feel that the moment you sit down. We were offered the cocktail of the month, and it was already incredibly delicious. During our conversation, the waitress mentioned that they had a cocktail the previous month that she personally liked even better. I jokingly asked if they could make an exception and make it for me. She went to check with the bar to see if they still had all the ingredients. Not a minute later, she returned with a big smile: it was possible. The bartender was even enthusiastic about shaking it up specially upon request. I find that truly special; not being difficult, just contributing ideas and enjoying their work. When the cocktail was ready, they were both practically enjoying it with me. They asked me what I thought of it, and you could tell they were genuinely interested. When I told them I loved it, you could see them light up. That kind of energy is infectious. They're people passionate about their work and love their guests, and you can see that in everything. De Kluis is the kind of place where service, atmosphere, and quality come together perfectly, and where you leave feeling happy.

Perfect spot. The "chat" was the best choice for us. A bit of everything, and more than enough. We even had a white wine with it.

A group of 10 had a delicious meal! A great Samsam concept. The atmosphere was cozy and friendly. The service was prompt and enthusiastic. They even took allergies into account upon request. Absolutely fantastic. We'll definitely be back!

What a charming restaurant: very friendly staff, exceptionally fast service, and we enjoyed a delicious lunch! It's great that the old vault door of the former bank is still intact (and you can sit inside the old vault!). We'd love to come back for dinner sometime. 👍🏻👍🏻

Ate the club sandwich clean. The club sandwich was incredibly dry; there was no mayo or other sauce on the sandwiches, and the chicken breast was very dry! I recommend making the club sandwich more moist and not frying the chicken breast so dry.

De Kluis in Doorn is the restaurant where conviviality and hospitality are always paramount. Owner Johnny creates a warm and familiar atmosphere, and Yassan's attentive service makes every visit complete. I and many other students come here several times a week, precisely because you always feel welcome. A regular spot in Doorn where you'll want to keep coming back.

Oh, how many times have we eaten at De Kluis? Always good, delicious, relaxed, good service, and best of all, now with air conditioning inside 😉. So even better! Whether we order the Sam-Sam menu, or à la carte, wine, beer, or soft drinks, including water, everything is simply good. And that "simply good" is what De Kluis excels at. See you soon.

Overpriced thawed cake. Not recommended.

The staff was friendly but the owner was unfriendly and had a tense sore on his face. I would not go there again.

Fast service, delicious food, and despite being in a square with several other (larger) establishments, it's still cozy. And inexpensive.

We've been coming here for years after walking the dog. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is great, both outside on the terrace and inside. The service is always friendly and hospitable. We'd love to come back from The Hague 😋👍🍷

Delicious food. Sam, what a great idea. Lovely, well-maintained patio!

My husband and I ate here, but unfortunately, the restaurant has gone downhill. Portions have suddenly become smaller, and the service has been grumpy. I won't be going to De Kluis again next time.

In short: fabulous! The food is a delight! Everything is fresh and beautifully presented. The service is excellent! Very attentive and courteous. The price is also more than reasonable for the portions and quality. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely be back!

The owner asks why one star? The coffee wasn't hot, we had to leave the roadside terrace and go to the other side, my husband ordered a salad, which took 20 minutes (we arrived around 8 p.m.), and the service was rude. I didn't see the restroom. Sorry, not a drunken teenager, but a 55-year-old woman! And look how you react!

Had a delicious lunch here! There was a small error in the order, but it was resolved quickly and professionally.

This is a lovely place for lunch or dinner. The staff is very friendly and provides clear answers to any questions you may have. There are plenty of options for lunch or dinner. You can sit outside on the terrace or inside with the air conditioning. The outside area is covered with large umbrellas.

Cozy. Friendly staff. Nice lunch and dinner menu. Delicious food. Extensive and beautiful plates.

Super... Muscheln frisch ungewöhnliches Gemüse aber super geschmeckt (obwohl nur für abends), Kluisburger (patty selber gemacht und medium gebraten) und Chickburgen top. (Chickenburger ganze Hähnchenbrust paniert.) Top. Nett, freundlich. Sprechen Englisch und Niederländisch

Delicious food, cozy spot in the market. One star down for the Strawberry Romanov dessert. It had one strawberry in it, and the rest was just whipped cream.

Yesterday I had lunch here. The food was more than excellent. The owner came by a few times to see if everything was still ok. Friendly service and a beautiful location. An asset to Doorn!

Delicious food. Definitely worth repeating.

Delicious food, pleasant service.

Had a starter and a main course and both were very tasty. The food is good and the portions are fine. It was nice to sit outside on the terrace and they regularly check if there is still a need for something and if everything is to your liking. Unfortunately 1 disadvantage... Make sure you look carefully at the receipt before paying. Unfortunately when we got home we only found out that 5 drinks had been put on our receipt. Total of €19.55 too much paid.

Yes, just grab a seat on a terrace and enjoy yourself on a nice big spacious and neat terrace. Spontaneous nice polite boys in the service. Our beer and wine were quickly served and in a neat quiet not pushy way we were asked if we wanted something from the menu. The menu as a placemat was presented to us and we were surprised about the small but nice menu. Sandwiches beforehand and while enjoying a drink we could quietly enjoy the main course. Paid little for a few hours of pleasure. We will do this again, absolutely top

Nice and cozy restaurant with a nice menu and delicious dishes.

Lovely food and super sweet and friendly service. They really go to great lengths to provide a good service for their guests.

In a somewhat chilly environment (cold and interior not great) we were pleasantly surprised by the very tasty food that you can combine thanks to the original concept. You can ask for half of a dish and combine it with half of another dish. Definitely recommended, also because the service is very quick and friendly.

Delicious food and very nice guys!!! 😘😘

Definitely the best in the area, Delicious cuisine great services and always super friendly. Definitely recommended.

Had a nice meal and coffee. Everything as it should be, price-quality completely in order.

Give them a chance, I'm quite satisfied

Nice restaurant. With large terrace. Good service and you can also order half of your dishes. So as a starter, say half a carpaccio and another half starter. Explanation is on the card

Top restaurant. Always good and fast service! Very reliable.

Great price for really delicious food. Had a delicious meal yesterday, it arrived quickly, the samsam concept helps with the stress of choosing, and we have rarely had such a delicious meal. Compliments to the chef. Service was nice and the restaurant itself was nice and quiet. Absolutely great!

Tasty ski cake. Excellent service with polite and friendly staff.

Good service, samsam menu was delicious, friendly service, always a chat, good luck Johnnie

The four of us enjoyed a "get-together" in the vault. Tasty food, friendly staff!

This is the place for a quick snack, drink or a good dinner. In the summer a beautiful terrace

Voor de tweede keer hier naartoe geweest, wij wonen niet dichtbij het restaurant. De eerste keer was zo bijzonder goed, dat wij nu besloten daar weer te eten en het eten was weer voortreffelijk! Buitengewoon GOED. Dit keer moesten wij wel lang wachten op het eten ( Sam sam) omdat er maar 1 kok was, maar het eten maakte echt alles goed!

Very nice and warm atmosphere, hospitable and good cuisine. I often come there in the evening for a drink and receive excellent service. There is always room for a chat.

Been coming here for 10 years and it's still very good

Delicious meal with 5 people. Worth repeating.

“I recently visited the hermitage, and I must say, it was an excellent experience! The beer was refreshing and just the right temperature. You can taste that they really know their beers here! The service was quick and very friendly, which made me feel immediately at home. Definitely recommended to visit once!”

Nice meal. There was room outside, but smoking is allowed there. Because of this we ate inside. Nice menu which makes it exciting. Recommended.

Went in here on spec (without a reservation) for lunch. Kindly received and a place selected. Soft atmosphere and nicely decorated (warm and cozy). Wide choice of food and drinks for lunch. Delicious food and definitely worth repeating!

Really delicious food and for a reasonable price!

Enjoy carefully prepared dishes, super friendly and helpful staff, highly recommended if you are in the area...

Wat een verschrikkelijke ervaring! Op onze trouwdag dachten we hier fijn te lunchen, maar dat is in een nachtmerrie geëindigd. We bestelden o.a. saté van kipdijvlees, maar deze bleek halverwege de stokjes echt rauw te zijn. De kelner zag het en zou het met de keuken opnemen. Ik vroeg om de rekening en toen bleek ik de volle mep te moeten betalen. We konden ter compensatie een koffie krijgen van het huis! Die heb ik natuurlijk geweigerd. Bij thuiskomst was mijn man erg ziek en had hevige diarree waardoor deze dag, die natuurlijk heel feestelijk had moeten zijn, eindigde in een ware nachtmerrie.

Wonderful evening of drinks with a sandwich and cheese stick

Delicious food again, it was a bit more difficult to choose (I am currently pregnant), but unfortunately the choice is a lot more limited. On the other hand, I tried things that I normally wouldn't choose and that turned out quite well. It's a shame that there is still so much smoking on the terrace, it would be nice if there was a smoke-free area. Restaurant itself is good and friendly staff.

Today we celebrated my mother's birthday with about 35 family members and friends. The snacks were diverse, surprising and very tasty, service was super good (nice team), drinks were served on time and even remembered who had drunk what. Flexible in terms of design, coordination of snack rounds, shelter due to the rain, etc. Atmosphere was great! We all enjoyed it, the Gasterij de Kluis is definitely recommended!

Ate here today June 25, it was delicious. Indicated that it was my son's birthday, this was really nicely taken into account! Thank you for this!

Good to spend an evening there.

Nice place. Very friendly attentive staff. Reasonable cuisine for snacks, lunch and dinner. Heated terrace on chilly days. Recommended.

Surprisingly beautiful location in the middle of the village. Very tasty lunch, beautifully served. Very nice service.

Today June 7, 2024, after a long time I tried Gasterij De Kluis again. Hospitality no sorry, that is hard to find here. My girlfriend and I had a Latte Macchiato here. Even with a few extra bags of sugar, this was still undrinkable. We have been here before, when the Latte Macchiato still tasted reasonable, but now no. We gave this restaurant a try, but it's definitely the end of the story for us. There are better restaurants and we will go there.

Lovely service this afternoon Keep it up

Definitely recommended when you are in Doorn. The food is good and a nice gimmick is the Sam Sam option. You sometimes feel like having 2 dishes from the menu instead of 1. No problem. You simply choose 2 half portions. This way you don't have to take food from your partner's plate. 😁👍🏻

Very tasty food, very friendly service, and very atmospheric. And we were there on May 4 and at 8 p.m. there was also 2 minutes of silence, which I thought was really neat👌👌

With great pleasure to eat there, finally a place I will definitely return to. That's how it should be!

Nice lunch. Very friendly neat service.

Heerlijk gegeten , fantastisch concept (Sam-sam)zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel in een sfeervol restaurant.

Had a lovely lunch here with a friend this month. Chosen for the Onderonsje. A very friendly and cordial waiter. The atmosphere in the restaurant is nice and it was relatively quiet. The music was really background music: very nice. Only tip: possibly serve a little bit of bread at the Onderonsje. Personally, I like smoked salmon and carpaccio better with some bread. But that is of course personal taste. I will definitely come back!

On Monday I didn't feel like cooking anymore and we went to eat with 4 people at De Kluis in Doorn, one of the few restaurants that is open on Mondays. Had a delicious meal there for a reasonable price Definitely recommended to eat there again

Delicious food, beautifully served, cozy atmosphere and very friendly staff. Top restaurant

Good food for a reasonable price

Nice restaurant and good atmosphere. Staff are friendly and the food is delicious.

The owners were very friendly. The food is fine. What was nice is that there is a samsam concept so you can taste multiple dishes.

I eat here a lot with my mother, sister and daughter. We always receive excellent service from the friendly service and the food is always delicious! I'll be moving soon, but I'll definitely keep coming back regularly to have a nice bite to eat at the safe!
