Goesting Food and Drinks in Wijk 1 Binnenstad

Had a delicious lunch, preparation excellent, portion size just fine 👌 Had a healthy sandwich and a surf and turf meal salad. The only point for improvement is the herb butter, which was a bit bland. Service is fast, friendly, and helpful. Tasty wines!! 🍷

Had another delicious meal. This time goat cheese salad and a surf and turf salad.

A nice, cozy place for drinks, lunch, etc. Enthusiastic staff.

We come here every year during the book market; the apple crumble pie with whipped cream is a must. Highly recommended, friendly service, beautiful view of the square.

We went to eat on the terrace here with our family, and unfortunately, this was one of the worst experiences we have ever had. The service was very poor from the start. The staff spoke in a blunt and unfriendly tone. We had ordered carpaccio as a starter, among other things, and had to wait about 20 minutes for it. When the carpaccio was finally brought, we hadn't even been given cutlery. The worst part was that an insect crawled *on* the carpaccio immediately after the plate was placed on the table. When we pointed this out, the waitress responded very rudely: "Yes, you are sitting on the terrace; it could have just flown right in." That was not the case, because we saw the insect immediately when the plate was placed down. We therefore asked for a new carpaccio. Less than 30 seconds later, a colleague came with a "new" carpaccio. We thought that was very quick, so we asked if this was really a new plate. He said that it was and that carpaccio is made quickly. However, when he walked away, we saw the exact same insect again on the carpaccio. So it was clearly the same plate that had been returned. We found it truly unacceptable that we were subsequently lied to as well. Later, someone came over who was probably the manager. He only said that such things sometimes happen and asked if we still wanted a new one. At no point were an apology offered, even though that would have been the least they could have done. Eventually, the carpaccio was removed from the bill. In the end, we had to wait about 50 minutes for our main courses. When we asked several times where the food was, no one knew. Only when we clearly indicated that we were not happy with this did someone go to check in the kitchen. Apparently, our food had been ready there for quite some time, because when it was finally brought, it was already cold. Additionally, we had ordered two medium steaks, one of which was simply rare. That was also very disappointing. Afterwards, we all got stomach aches. Of course, we cannot say with certainty that this was caused by the food, but it certainly didn't improve the experience.

Delicious drink and sandwich at a prime location. Friendly staff!

Friendly and professional staff. Tasty food and an extensive menu. Also affordable.

Cozy, everything perfectly arranged

Great restaurant with beautiful outdoor lighting, friendly service, and very tasty burgers.

What fantastic staff. You don't experience that very often anymore. It was 38 degrees, but the service was amazing. Respect to you superstars.

Nice, but there was a funfair during our visit. It made a lot of noise and we didn't know that when we made the reservation. Perhaps they could have mentioned it. Too bad...

If you are hungry, you can quickly eat anywhere. If you crave variety and quality, then this is the place to be. Good service and quality are treated as the most natural thing in the world.

Had a great evening with a large group (13). Although it is more suitable for a smaller number. The organization is great, the meals were good. The atmosphere was nice, the noise came from the square. There was a fair there.😄

Had a fantastic meal. Friendly service.

Cozy place to have lunch in the beautiful city of Deventer. Fast service and friendly.

Nice atmosphere. Good value for money.

A bit of a rude waitress. Walked away immediately after taking our drink order. Without saying anything. The apple pie tastes like something you buy from the supermarket.

Delicious lunch, tasty asparagus soup, delicious Chardonnay (also served at the perfect temperature), and above all, very friendly service. Simply always great!!!

After a nice day in Deventer, we finished off at Goesting. The food was tasty, average. The staff used foul language among themselves. That led us to decide to leave early.

Fine restaurant, though very busy. Tasty dishes.

Great food, nice and cozy atmosphere, great service

Had a great meal with a group. Also a good selection of fish and vegetarian/vegan options.

Alfie allowed outside on a sunny morning, sun was up and out, under the tree the sun was definitely out to warm us up.

Delicious food, good service and beautiful location

Lovely place. Food was good and plentiful. It did take a while, though.

The food was delicious, but in my opinion, the portions were too small for the price. Two half baby potatoes with my main course don't fill me up.

Due to the busy schedule, the owner closed the kitchen, and our ordered sandwich wasn't prepared for another half hour (which turned into an hour). Extremely poor service!

Crappy place! An hour wait for a cheese sandwich and a ham sandwich! How hard can it be? I asked the owner if the sandwiches were coming. Arrogant guy, mostly focused on himself. After waiting for over an hour, still no sandwiches, so we decided to leave.

Goesting was a very pleasant visit. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, delicious, well-rounded dishes, and despite the crowds, we still managed to get a table and had a wonderful meal. We will definitely be back.

Cozy restaurant. Good value for money. Friendly staff.

You simply get a brown slice of toasted bread. The amount of tuna salad on the bread was minimal, and the pulled chicken was also a thin layer. Not exceptional for that price. And if you mention it to the waitress, she doesn't know how to handle it. And she's not happy about it. The hard roll with surf and turf from another menu was okay, but just a pre-baked roll. The fries, which you have to pay for separately, are not okay in terms of price and quantity.

What a lovely restaurant. Good food, fresh and very tasty. Friendly and attentive staff. We'd love to come back.

Quite a lot of food! Very tasty indeed.

We shared nachos as a starter, delicious guacamole, tomato salsa, and crème fraîche... There was also chili sauce on the bottom... some reviews said it was too sweet, chili sauce is sweet and sour... so maybe it wasn't so bad after all! The duck was deliciously prepared, exactly how red it should be. Yes... you get four halved potatoes and some vegetables with it, which is not something you'll find often, but if you read carefully and want more, you can always order more... The cheesecake dessert was fine, not particularly special, but you don't need it for a bistro. A beautiful, atmospherically decorated restaurant. The host was very friendly, and the tall young man serving got it... he doesn't stand still, but cleans up every moment of rest. The chef... cooks well, but could learn to lean forward less and look at his phone when he has a moment to relax. This isn't exactly a promising view for the customer, even though he's a good cook. And of course, it's not very hygienic to be on your phone while cooking. Anyway, we have nothing else to complain about; it was a pleasant, delicious experience with excellent food. Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of the nachos, otherwise you could clearly see that they weren't soaked when we ate them! The 4 stars for the atmosphere are purely due to the poor view of the chef... that can always be improved, of course!

Cozy, tasty food, although a bit small, it said it came with potatoes and salad but that was a garnish and they forgot the fries we ordered extra.

We had a lovely lunch in the sunshine on October 1st. On the terrace here, you don't have the shade you find on many other terraces. It's a shame the bread they provided was a regular wheat slice and not the delicious dark whole wheat. The service was friendly.

Mediocre! We ordered an Amstel Radler, sparkling water, and nachos. The Amstel was replaced with Gulpener without consultation. When we pointed this out, we were told "sorry," and the waitress quickly walked away. The beer also went flat in the glass. The nachos were absolutely below expectations! We received a bowl drenched in fatty cheese, which meant that almost no chips were crispy at all. It tasted sweet, as if it had honey in it. It was a truly disgusting, greasy, and limp mess! We mentioned this to the waitress, and she gave us another "sorry" and nothing more! Sparkling water was delicious! Nice and cold, and with a slice of lemon as requested.

Today I sat down on the terrace. The weather was lovely. I ordered Amstel Radler and nachos. I ended up getting a 0.0 Gulpener. All they said was, "Sorry, really not normal, no, I'll just get another one." The nachos were sweet with way too much sauce and cheese; it was a mess. The sunny spot was fine, but otherwise...

Good restaurant, good food and of course nice guests and nice weather

We had a wonderful time on the terrace and enjoyed a truly fantastic meal. Super delicious!

The place to be in Deventer. Besides the fantastic menu and service, it also offers lunch and dinner, with the most beautiful view of the most beautiful square in the Netherlands, the Brink.

It was a good restaurant with plenty of food and drink options. The service started well, but dessert took 20-25 minutes. The restroom was clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful, always looking for solutions. It's highly recommended.

Consistently good food quality, a relaxed, informal atmosphere, and efficient service. Lovely terrace on the Brink square with a beautiful view of the Fontein and the Waag, and plenty of sunshine.

Had a delicious cup of coffee with a nice block of nougat; friendly service; recommended!

We reserved a spot at this lovely restaurant during the book market. The staff were attentive and friendly (we received a different beer than we ordered, something about the wrong keg being connected to the tap), and this was promptly resolved. The food is delicious and plentiful. The terrace is cozy and attracts a very diverse crowd. Definitely worth a return visit.

Today my wife and I had drinks and dinner at Goesting. The service was very attentive, the food was delicious, and the terrace was very pleasant. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The "afternoon shift" staff were still enjoying drinks afterward. A very friendly team with a great sense of humor. We will definitely be back.

I ordered the most expensive dish on the menu. The meat was sublime. But... 4 slices of potato and a portion of vegetables you could eat with a teaspoon. All in all, a disappointment for someone who wants a full and healthy meal.

Gezellige plek, mooie locatie op het plein. Samen met mijn vriend cocktails gedronken, ik had een redelijk luxe cocktail, weet de naam niet meer, die was heerlijk! De mojito was een enorme tegenvaller! In een klein glas en smaakt goedkoop, een tegenvaller.

Delicious food, pleasant waiters and cozy surroundings.

Lovely on the terrace in the sun Delicious menu with plenty of choice

Uitstekend .overheerlijke salades gegeten Zeer goede koffie. Perfect personeel. Goede prijs prestatie verhouding

We enjoyed your lunch this Sunday

Delicious food with very friendly and attentive service. Very attentive to dietary requirements. It is just a shame that you are still allowed to smoke on terraces.

A more expensive dish on the menu is Pork Belly, served with fried potatoes, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables, 24 euros. No more than 1 tablespoon of vegetables, 1 tablespoon of mashed potatoes and 5 pieces of fried potatoes and a piece of bacon. We had to order fries with it. The burger and satay on the menu, 21 euros, are a plate full. What a strange policy.

A bistro with a simple look and feel with a compact menu. But it was delicious! My diamond hare was perfectly prepared.

Nice bistro, beautiful view over the square, friendly staff

Nice restaurant on the most beautiful square in the Netherlands; de Brink. Cosy terrace. Ate here with colleagues. Great menu and nice staff.

As it should be. Delicious lunch good quality price ratio and fantastic service. If you visit Deventer then definitely have lunch here.

Chef special to eat your fingers with. 😋 Top spot to use something.

Heerlijk geluncht. Het was druk op het terras en het meisje van de bediening vertelde dat er 2 collegas ziek waren. Daarom konden we alleen buiten plaats nemen. Ondanks dat werden we toch goed geholpen en kregen we een heerlijke lunch. Tja en het tafelje eas net afgeruimd maar nog niet schoon maar wij waren dik tevreden. Het geitenkaas broodje was heerlijk en de rest ook prima. Aardige bediening leuk uitzcht.

Despite the enormous crowds and sick staff in the kitchen. The staff kept in touch with the customer very friendly and the food tasted very good too.

Beautiful terrace on the village green with good portions. You definitely get value for money here!

Great bistro for a drink and a sandwich on the terrace. This place makes Deventer great!

Conviviality in the Hanseatic city of Deventer.

Delicious food...the price is getting a little higher

Delicious food. Service is good and the price-quality ratio is also excellent.

Friendly staff, delicious food. The most beautiful place in Deventer in the sun to enjoy the beautiful square.

Delicious food, everything is served quickly, a really top restaurant

Kleine, krappe tafel, matige gehaaste ontvangst. Eten matig en daardoor prijs-kwaliteitverhouding zeer uit balans. Geen aanrader.

Food was fine. Staff all quite young, not really a manager. Because I thought it was a bit strange that the staff would stand at someone's table and eat from the plate (I suspect a staff member who was free). And that several times and also different staff members. I don't think it's very polite when guests are eating in the restaurant. Toilets weren't really clean either.

Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere created Friendly staff, smooth service. Nice menu and delicious wines Definitely recommended

Delicious carpaccio sandwich and warm brie sandwich. It took a while before we got the food, but it was very busy. Friendly staff. Nice thing.

Another delicious meal! Friendly, quick service and a top team in the kitchen. Prepared with great care and attention. You can see (and taste) that immediately

Was here with a group. Extensive menu with various dishes. From fairly standard to exciting combinations of flavors and ingredients. Service was smooth and correct. The restaurant is modern, but at the same time warmly decorated.

Only you had to wait a long time for your food, because it was busy on the terrace, but with the sun and patio heating, that didn't spoil the enjoyment, great thing.

Delicious food, friendly staff.

Delicious food! Lots of choice, more than enough, also gluten-free.

Delicious food. Friendly service. Table in front of the window with a beautiful view over the square, which was completely in the Christmas spirit.

It was very crowded at the Dickens Festival. Many of the staff were skillfully ordering drinks and food, and we didn't have to worry about the wait time. It was cold so we ate inside the restaurant, but the food matched the Christmas atmosphere and was delicious.

Nice staff, good food and tasty cocktails.

We found it very disappointing. Disinterested staff. We asked for fries instead of mashed potatoes, we got a crappy bowl, and when we ordered extra we had to pay for it. We asked for the seasonal vegetables, but they did not come. The glass of red wine had all kinds of sediment in it, when we said something about it, a lame story came out about the supplier, who had not delivered the good wine. Shameful, we will never go here again!

Really nice, fun to be around, nice people, nothing is too much

Delicious food, super friendly staff, but the wait was really long... Next time I'll try it on another day...

Nice seating with fast service. Perfect!

After a day in Deventer and surroundings. Arrived at Goesting at the beginning of the evening. Friendly service...great. Starters fine. My partner's main course was delicious. My main course of chicken thigh satay was extremely disappointing, really the worst and driest I have ever had on my plate. A bit of a shame! Not reported to the service... pay and leave...

Very nice staff and delicious food!!

Last Wednesday I wanted to have a drink and a small bite to eat. Everyone sat outside, but because of my health I wanted to sit inside. That was allowed. Once inside we were completely left to our own devices. The mainly young staff walked back and forth and didn't even see us. Behind the counter stood a young man, whom I tried to make contact with several times. Just as we were about to leave, he suddenly came towards us. We indicated that we wanted something to drink and a small bite to eat. He walked away and came back with the message that lunch is almost over, you can have dinner in half an hour. I didn't ask for that. Ok can we order something to drink then?? That was possible. Then a young lady came and asked what we wanted to eat. Well, not dinner, but a small snack. Then I'll just have bitterballen and a sandwich. What to drink?? we have already ordered that from that young man. So he said it was ice cold, we hadn't ordered anything from him. We ended up getting our coffee and bitterballen, plus a free almost heart attack from the price. So this is definitely a restaurant I will never take my guests to again.

Here I had the tastiest nacho cheese of my life! The service was mediocre.

Being able to sit outside despite the rain. Waiting staff were very friendly and helpful. Fast service and delicious food.

Ate with 10 people and all were very satisfied. Great meal with super friendly service. We regularly came by to ask if we needed any drinks. It's a bit away from us. But if we ever come to the area again, we have a good address for a delicious dinner!

Very large terrace on the Brink. Brink is the central square in Deventer. Young guy was from the waiter, He spontaneously cleaned the table before taking the order. Well done. Wine and a Pepsi Max. We had to wait a while for the bill due to the crowds

Delicious food, nice attentive and friendly staff

Nice restaurant at the Market Square with a large, heated patio.

Relax with a view over the village green. The food was fine and the staff very friendly. If you are not very hungry and there are two of you, the fries with pulled pork are highly recommended 👍🏻

Nice tent, maybe it was the heat (or us) but it felt a bit rushed. We ended up eating elsewhere.

Lovely sat on the terrace on Friday evening. What's nice is that there is plenty of choice regarding 0.0 beer! Tried 3 tasty varieties. Casual atmosphere. Friendly service

We just walked around and settled on this terrace. After looking at the menu we decided to have something to eat Above expectations! So good! Lots of different flavors, perfectly matched. Definitely recommended and wonderful just outside the hustle and bustle of the hutje mutje terraces around the Waag. We had the chicken salad and the fish trio.

What a shitty place. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone. We did see that Turkish size sewer from VI walking around, so it added another star to the atmosphere

Nice meal. Friendly staff and quick assistance. Highly recommended!

We had a delicious meal there at a nice affordable price
