Herberg Molecaten in Wijk 01 Polder Hattem en Molecaten

Delicious food, nice spacious seating and very hospitable.

This location in the forest does everything in the right way! A good lunch, being carefull towards my old parents just before a perfectly arranged wedding party. Fabulous!

We celebrated our mother's birthday here with about 25 people. It was fantastic! Friendly service, delicious food, and a generous ice cream buffet afterward—everyone was thrilled. Thanks to the staff for a fantastic 90th birthday party!!

A beautiful restaurant in a unique location surrounded by nature on the outskirts of Hattem. It's also the starting point for the "The Story of the Netherlands" walk, which we took to beautiful Hattem. Coffee and cake were served before the walk, followed by a delicious beer. What a fantastic day!

Nice seating, pleasant atmosphere.

Nice place. Just had a nice beer. Cozy and relaxing. Excellent service.

Nice place to go after a visit to the beautiful city of Hattem. Food is not the best but it will do nicely (if you're hungry😜). Friendly staff and parking no problem at all.

Whether you have something to celebrate or are just in the neighborhood. Come by for coffee, drinks, lunch and/or dinner! Always hospitable and cozy!!

Delicious meal in a very relaxed atmosphere, very relaxed

Had a drink and a meal here, the terrace was very nice. The service was also very good.

Enjoyed the ambiance, tranquility, hospitality and the food and drinks.

Wij hebben een high tea gehad. Het was erg warm. Buiten zitten was geen optie omdat het te warm was. Binnen was het overigens net zo warm, wellicht nog warmer. Alles werd in 1 x op tafel gezet, zoet en hartig door elkaar. De broodjes was te groot (broodjes voor een lunch). De slagroom en chocola smolten vanwege de hitte. Het was geen succes! We zijn naar het terras in de stad gereden voor een lekker ijsje.

Good food in a beautiful location. Friendly staff. They made our wedding unforgettable.

Beautiful location. Ditto accommodation and very friendly staff.

That there is only one vegetarian dish on the menu, oh well. Then just don't eat there that often. But that the dish comes straight from the freezer of the supermarket I find so disappointing. As if you are eating a fresh fish that was actually from Iglo. Make a little effort to cook for non-meat eaters too, that is not at all crazy these days.

Had a wonderful meal at a lovely restaurant in beautiful surroundings.

Very cozy and beautiful location. Delicious food for a nice price.

Molecaten is a popular place for family gatherings or for friends to meet on the outdoor terrace. If you want that, you need to make a reservation. Otherwise, there is usually limited room for spontaneous visits. The coffee tastes good and is served professionally by the staff. It is nice and relaxed in the forest with the babbling water of the watermill.

Nice place, good and tasty food, friendly staff! The environment is really beautiful! Also very atmospheric inside!

Nice place to eat out! Beautifully situated in the middle of the forest. The food was also delicious and the service was adequate. The only downside is the digital menu... it is less pleasant to have to grab your phone while you are eating out with a group.

This time they served us very quickly for lunch and our order also arrived in good time, it was very delicious. Highly recommended is the tomato soup and fried eggs with bread. The place is very nice and familiar. We always do a pre-walk before arriving at the location for lunch or just to have a coffee.

Great experience and food, extremely friendly service

I had lunch here on a Friday. They only had the small room open. We arrived without a reservation in advance and sat outside on the terrace for 5 minutes and then a spot became available inside. Delicious deluxe bouncer. Staff is very friendly. After lunch we walked the Assenradepad clog path. This starts here and is 11 km. My tip would be: if you want to take a seat here, book in advance!

Absolutely fine. Good service, polite and friendly. Even in the men's toilet, a changing mat with diaper bucket is very well arranged

After a walk in Hattem, we drove on to have lunch here. Beautiful location and cozy terrace. The service was friendly and came and went. Man man had the deluxe bouncer and I had the Waldcorn Piri Piri. My husband's bouncer had no Parmesan cheese in it. Too bad, we didn't say anything about that. But unfortunately the chicken was still raw. That is not just a mistake but a big miss. The plate was taken away again and after waiting a while, my husband had already finished his sandwich, my order was brought. This time it was cooked well. An apology was made and refreshments offered for the inconvenience. We have agreed to this.

Delicious food, great atmosphere

Cozy restaurant in beautiful surroundings. Had a great lunch. Large portions for a fair price. Smooth operation. After lunch you can enjoy a beautiful walk. There is, among other things, a clog path passing by. Reservations recommended.

It was delicious food but little. Have to buy additional side dishes.

We had a drink here after a walk, so can't rate the food. Overall I can't rate it well, because I was only there for a short time. At least dogs are allowed inside 😊.

Very attractive restaurant in a beautiful spot on the edge of the forest. There is a water mill which adds to the atmosphere even more. You can sit outside, half outside (with a kind of tent construction, cozy!), or inside. Staff are very friendly and helpful. You can also order at the table using a QR. We ordered "1 meter of food". Highly recommended. It's a kind of drinks board, but different. Prices: what you can expect. Not too expensive. Outside there is a playground next to one of the terraces In short: a wonderful place to go, especially in combination with walking in the beautiful woods.

Prime attractive location. Food prepared with taste and care in a beautiful environment. A lovely terrace available in warmer weather.

Enjoy a pleasant lunch in beautiful surroundings

Beautiful location, friendly staff, quick service and wide choice on the menu. Just a shame that the menu works with a QR code. Enjoy it there every time.

Offer could be a bit more varied, otherwise a great place.

Had my parents' 60th wedding anniversary! Everything arranged well! Everything was well coordinated in advance and fulfilled as agreed. Everyone was full of praise for the food and the staff. My parents look back on a very successful afternoon. Thanks for that. So you can go here for a party or a nice meal.

Had lunch today with family (13 people). The absence of a paper menu is experienced as annoying by several people. When serving, the food for 2 children was not included; It is not known why, but it was not fun. Asked for extra fries; never got it. 2 waitresses who came to take everyone's drinks; We never saw the drinks from 1 table. 2 tips: - Invest in a good restaurant manager to manage the service. - Read the reviews here and ask yourself as an owner; Why do I still stick to the digital menu with QR code while many people prefer a paper version?

Had a High Wine today. What a disappointment. Previous experiences were always so good but now it was 'easily dismissed'. A board with cheese, sausage and olives. Then a fried drink mix………. Not worth repeating. We expressed our dissatisfaction and the response was... yes, the wine has become so expensive... Won't come back again.

Very hospitable and friendly staff!

Delicious drinks platter: one meter of delicious food!

Enjoy an excellent tomato soup with delicious bread on the (covered) terrace. What a December atmosphere!

Highly recommended, for lunch and dinner or just a drink of your choice. Cozy, atmospheric and relaxing.

Fantastic food. Very good portions. It was extremely busy as there was a chocolate festival happening in the village. The staff accommodated the extra people by setting up new tables. They stayed calm and professional under immense pressure. I'll be visiting again under normal circumstances.

Nice quiet place with nice food and good service

Delicious lunch in attractive surroundings with excellent service.

Nice location and great service.

We celebrated our wedding here, everything was great!

After a walk through the woods with the dogs, enjoy a coffee

Cozy restaurant with good coffee, tea, hot chocolate and delicious pastries.

Remains a beautifully situated inn in the woods of the Molecate estate. Nice and busy. But despite that fact, both the service and the kitchen were nice and smooth. Table service was also friendly. Despite the menu using a QR code, they quietly came to take the order at the table. Delicious food and well-kept bouncer.

Very nice terrace in the middle of the forest and next to the beautiful water mill. Attentive staff who continued to do their work quietly despite the crowds. Delicious cappuccino!

We had dinner and the party here on our wedding anniversary. What a great location this is! Half of the inn is reserved for you - the covered terrace and the room next to it, which you can see from the covered terrace. There is also a bridal room for the bridal couple to retreat for a while. This was really nice that the option was there. There is also a toilet for the bride. First we had a delicious meal on the covered terrace, then the party started, where the older party guests could retire to the terrace (but were still very involved in the party room) and the rest could party in the hall. The staff is super friendly and wants to do everything for you to make your day unforgettable. Between the party and dinner, my dress contained a lot of twigs and dirt from the forest, which is of course to be expected. Now the staff didn't hesitate for a second and there were three of them cleaning my dress, while one person was busy with the dustpan and dustpan. End result - my dress was completely clean again. Are you getting married and still unsure about a location? Then visit this location and experience the atmosphere that the inn radiates.

We had invited a friendly couple to eat at Molecaten. When we asked for the menu, we were told that it had been abolished and we were therefore forced to read the menu (attached to a QR picture on the table) with our mobile phone. scan. Because I didn't have a cell phone with me at the time, I asked if they had a menu for me in this case: this was refused. For example, I had to scroll through the menu on their tiny screens with the others in our party. My guests opted for steak tips that tasted satisfactory, and for myself I ordered a schnitzel with bacon strips. This was so well done and dry, and the bacon strips so salty, that it gave me hiccups and I had to drink a lot to get rid of the hiccups; the miniscule amount of puree was smeared over the edge of my cold plate and reminded me of a line under a signature (of the chef)? Compared to other occasions, the fries had to be ordered separately and were placed on the table in a large Febo cone, with a cone with cheap fries sauce on top. After the meal, to surprise us, a small drum from grandmother's time was placed on our table with the message that it contained some treats. When we opened it, it turned out to be almost empty except for a few sweets. One of us, now quite frustrated with the whole turn of events, went to the back to have the drum refilled. The visit to Molecaten was difficult for me to digest, as was the lump of schnitzel in my stomach.

In the middle of the woods and a nice place for lunch. Good selection of light bites and larger meals. Watch out for the car park as there are no designated spaces so you’ll need to park between the trees.

What a great location to celebrate a party!

Delicious food in a beautiful place, very friendly service. Recommended.

Delicious apple pie and coffee!

Beautiful surroundings, nice diverse buffet (present due to festive occasion)

Before we start on the clog path, we first had a cup of coffee here with something tasty. After the walk we went back here for a nice juice and 1 meter of tasty food (drinks board). Friendly service and a nice varied drinks board

Beautiful place to be with a playground for small children. The drinks platter was fine, but the prices.... Actually just a bit too high for the overall picture.

Enjoyed a nice lunch at the Herberg today. Beautiful place. The menu card via QR code is a big letdown.

It's a bit gloomy and dark inside. Lots of chairs and tables on the terrace. This makes it look very full and you have the feeling that the table next to you can listen to everything you say.

Had a lovely lunch here with the family. Served quickly. Food was very good. Chairs outside on the terrace were a bit smaller. Enough parking space. Immediately visit the watermill. Beautiful old-fashioned piece of technology.

Nice terrace. Good service. Tasty food.

Beautifully located restaurant just outside Hattem. Nice large terrace. Good lunch menu. Dogs welcome

Had a lovely drink and a seat again.

Was in het verleden stukken beter. Niet echt van deze tijd en bij de vraag wat de vegetarische opties waren was de mededeling dat die er niet waren maar dat de vleeskroketten vervangen konden worden door de vega bitterballen. Die ‘kon je namelijk ook op brood prakken ‘😂 Daarnaast alleen een digitale kaart via de telefoon. Voor mijn oma van meer dan 90 jaar niet echt een optie.

Had some coffee. Well cared for.

Menu card only with QR code and not physically and we had to wait a long time for lunch

After our walk we had a cappuccino with something tasty. The coffee was good and so were the pastries. Friendly service. Because of the dog we had to go outside on the terrace, but there was a heated tent there and it was cozy. It was completely fine.

Helpful and creative thinking staff

Tasty and good food. The atmosphere was great, as the building radiates.

After we had requested various quotes, and had also visited and viewed a few other restaurants, we chose Herberg Molecaten for our family celebration. The extensive range of meals (Veluwse coffee table XL), the reasonable prices and, above all, the friendly welcome were the deciding factor for us. And we have not regretted it for a moment, because last Saturday we had a wonderful party at this beautiful location. Everything was above expectations; the setup was beautiful and spacious, both inside and outside (fortunately we had beautiful weather), the food was delicious and more than enough for everyone. Some people with allergies also received special attention! We received feedback from many guests that it was a fantastic location and that they also really liked the food. All in all, we can highly recommend Herberg Molecaten, including its very friendly hostess, to everyone! Excellent 5*

Had a lovely lunch with the ladies today 😉, highly recommended 👍👍👍

Prachtige omgeving. De rust van het bos. En lekker gegeten. Het was ook hier niet de eerste keer en ik hoop niet de laatste.

A nice restaurant in the forest it can easily accommodate groups Plenty of parking space Wide food selection with fish meat and vegetarian options, generous portions and great taste Attentive service and a wonderful view on the forest outside. They should work on the acoustics of the main hall as it can get very noisy especially when there are groups.

Nice, if you arrive in the evening. There is also a beautiful atmosphere when you enter. You have a spacious seat at your table and the service is also very friendly and hospitable. The menu is also good, not too large a choice, but still something for everyone. The dishes we had were extremely well prepared. I highly recommend this restaurant 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

June 8 I attended a wedding at Herberg Molecaten. As a professional master of ceremonies, I visit many places and I was very happy with the helpfulness and flexibility of the staff, especially Nathalie. Thank you very much for the great cooperation and hopefully see you next time! 🧡

Location is great. Coffee and pastries are fine, but think of something different than always the stroopwafels with your coffee!!

Relax after a walk and enjoy a delicious meal. What a beautiful location

Always a pleasure to dine in at this place. It becomes a standard for me and my sister. The chicken is recommended. Great service and lovely place to sit down

What a beautiful place with good service, let the summer come suc6.

Prachtige locatie - bos, adellijke woning in de buurt, mooi om te wandelen. Je zou denken... dan is de herberg van dergelijke stand. Helaas, ik betaalde dik 3 euro voor ongeveer 100cc cappuccino uit een smal hoog koffiekopje, dat uit een volautomaat werd getrokken. De stoelen zijn niet fijn, je zakt laag achterover. Het broodje was wel lekker, maar ik betwijfel zeer of het brood volkoren was (zoals beloofd), volgens mij was het bruin (dus eigenlijk wit) met wat donkere granen. De bediening was wel vlot. De wc ruimte was vies (laag stof op de randjes, spinnenwebje in de geurstokjes - langer dan een paar dagen niet geraakt) en dus was ik ook niet zeker over de hygiëne van de toilet zelf.

Nice place to have a nice meal.

Nice cozy location, super friendly hospitable staff. Delicious extensive lunch.

A beautiful location, we enjoyed it upon arrival. Also a nice play area for the children if you sit on the terrace and we have to wait a little longer. But that wait became at least 2 hours later for the main courses! Especially with children who have to wait such a long time for food, it is not feasible. A waitress did her best to pass on the allergies of some kids as best she could. We understand that not everything can always run perfectly, especially when it is busy. But the fun was taken away by that long wait, which should have been a special occasion for us with the family present.

Herberg Molecaten was always a chic, tidy affair. Just a few tips to help you enjoy the simple things. Had a drink with extras on the outdoor terrace with several people. Coffee in any form and a little extra completes it, think of a cookie, chocolate... make something up, but give it a little extra! Apple pie, serve it with real whipped cream and not with the cheap whipped cream which has already melted when the fork has to be inserted, this is really not possible. If the simple thing doesn't get the attention, it will soon end up being just a drink. And for the atmosphere, the outdoor terrace with its plastic roof is nothing to look at, as terribly dirty as it is. I say clean this roof, you really shouldn't want to open the terrace to your guests with this dirty roof.

Great restaurant, but a bit of a shame that you have to order normal side dishes such as potatoes, fries or vegetables etc. separately from most dishes, while the price is quite high.

Had a lovely lunch with husband and mother-in-law. The only downside for which I could not give a star rating was viewing the menu via QR code. I hate this especially since corona. Very sorry. But otherwise out of the art and a wonderful place.

Delicious food, friendly staff and beautiful surroundings. Recommended

Wederom heerlijk genoten! Het diner met vrienden was zeer geslaagd. Porties zeer ruim en heerlijk gegeten. Aanrader voor groepen maar ook zeker wanneer je lekker een boswandeling aan het maken bent.

Leuke plek voor een drankje na een wandeling in de nabije omgeving. Vriendelijke bediening die langs komt (tip: zet een fysieke kaart neer op de tafels ipv enkel Qr, staat zo onvriendelijk). Klein speeltuintje bij het terras.

Food and service were excellent!! Too bad we couldn't order decaf coffee after dinner. Improvement point!

Paying a lot of money for little. The first time I give a mediocre rating for an eatery. Scanning a QR code to order (nice and cozy). Then expensive main course (only small piece of meat or fish with mediocre lettuce). Anything you want extra for fries, salad or potatoes means paying extra immediately. Really worthless. In the past you could eat well here for a fair price. I've been here regularly, but they don't see me here anymore. Environment is beautiful. Maybe if you go for a walk there, a cup of coffee is a fair price, but first take a look at the map. Too bad. Missed opportunity

Beautiful location on the edge of the forest

Nice meal. Price quality excellent. We had 1 dish without fries, but because there were still fries left from the other dishes, he asked if he wanted them. It was neatly served separately. Now that's service/thinking along. Good against waste.

Cozy restaurant at the Molencaten estate. We had an excellent lunch here on the covered terrace. Friendly, courteous service and a beautiful location.

Nice terrace, both coffee and cappucino unfortunately served lukewarm...

Located in the middle of beautiful surroundings. Good food but pricey.

Unfortunately, this Inn missed the boat. The onion soup is a stock cube with onions and a piece of toast with cheese. The mussels have a rock-hard fried breading layer. The schnitzel is poorly seasoned with way too much onion. The pike-perch was ok, so were the prawns, but man, what a terrible sauce. Should contain lobster but it is a tasteless whole. The cauliflower was probably already prepared in the afternoon, tough and tasteless. We were looking forward to this but will never return. The girls who served us were attentive.

Beautiful accommodation, lovely staff and delicious food. Beautiful location to throw a party.
