Kloosterbrasserie De Kanunnik in Wijk 01 Kerkrade-Oost

Culinary excellence. A microscopic portion of mayo served with a preheated bowl of delicious fries. Fast, friendly service. The price-quality ratio is excellent.

Wanted to make a reservation for Christmas, but the assistance dog was refused, making me unwelcome. Very surprising... I also pointed out that refusing is actually not allowed.

The food was good, but I think the price was too high. Nice place.

Terrible service!! We just left after waiting over half an hour for our lunch. Meanwhile, we watched people go unattended. Totally unprofessional and unmotivated staff! We read the reviews, but we thought we'd give them the benefit of the doubt. We shouldn't have done that. We were having such a great time in the beer hall! It's a shame they didn't serve lunch there!

We stayed overnight and wanted to enjoy a relaxing evening there. Unfortunately, there was very little choice of food and it wasn't good value for money. There weren't many options for children either. We left the restaurant hungry and very disappointed. We won't be back.

Terrible restaurant for the price. The staff pays little attention to their guests. The acoustics in the room seem to have been neglected, making it difficult to hear each other. The quality of the food is reasonable, but not always in proportion to the price. They don't offer black tea. And the cheese board is very minimal, and they forget, for example, the Limburg syrup they advertise. Long story short. Next time we'll eat somewhere else.

I had a stew. It could have used a bit more meat, perhaps? The dessert, a honey beer panna cotta, was delicious. I had to wait over an hour for my dish. When I asked if it would be best to order dessert right away due to the time constraints, I received an apology that something had gone wrong with the order. In the end, I only paid for the food; the drinks were free.

Really mediocre food. Service is not the best.

Had coffee with someone on the terrace today. A very disinterested young waiter clearly didn't feel like working, and we waited 20 minutes for coffee that was far too weak. The waiter said they didn't have the sweetener we requested (my table companion has diabetes). The coffee was served lukewarm in dirty cups. If you can't even get two coffees, I wonder...

The lunch menu on the website looked good. On the spot it turned out to be "old". There was not even half of the lunch menu left. In other words, very limited selection.

Booked with social deal. The abbey is beautiful. The room was fine, but noisy, which was not surprising to us, because it is a very old building. What was surprising was the restaurant. It started with the menu, where half of the menu had a supplement of euro 9.50, while the prices on the online menu only differed by 4 euros. The menu was quite limited, as a starter only without paying an extra 9.5, choice of parsnip soup or mustard soup on a sunny day. The staff was unfriendly and the food was not good. There was little left of the parsnip soup and you could especially taste the layer of truffle oil. The main course was the low point. Scampi with tomato sauce... the tomato sauce was the Doritos dip with the nachos. Also it was served with cauliflower, broccoli and carrot, which was a strange combination. In addition, there was very little flavor to the vegetables, not even salt or pepper, just boiled (sometimes). The same vegetables were also found with the duck breast with gravy from a carton. The fries we got were cooked way too short. Unfortunately the breakfast was not much better. We were the first ones there and many things, such as the sandwiches, already tasted old, as everything was made from a package. In addition, I wouldn't wish anyone the coffee that was served there.

Breakfast was booked at 10:00 AM. For 10 people. Upon arrival, we were surprised: only until 11:00 AM (we have lunch at noon). There was no juice. We had to ask. The eggs were cold. The fried egg was empty and not refilled. Many dishes were empty and not refilled. One person finished eating: they took their plate away, the rest were still eating!! Unfriendly, the guests didn't notice. Once, but never again. Not recommended.

Food very bad. Not fresh.4 person lunch. Ordered 3 x focaccia, a sandwich. Toast was good. Focaccia's first half frozen. Then top black and very dry.

We went there for lunch with a good friend. A group of people had finished and there was one other table occupied outside of us. We ordered a cappuccino in advance and then our order was taken. The cappuccino was served lukewarm. And 45 minutes later our pumpkin soup was served with 2 mini pieces of toasted bread and a rock-hard tub of butter. Inexperienced staff. What a pity. We'll never go back there again. Then we are used to better things in Kerkrade for that kind of money.

We invited friends for lunch at a special location. The place is indeed beautiful, but the lunch was a joke. First of all, the service. Only one, fairly inexperienced boy, who couldn't handle things. After 45 minutes he came to ask if we wanted something to drink. The food was bad and the cappuccino watery. You would almost be ashamed to take friends here. The last time for us! Too bad about the beautiful place.

We had expectations for our dinner, given the limited number of dishes on the menu. Especially with such a small selection you expect quality and attention to detail, but unfortunately this turned out to be hard to find. I chose the burger as a precaution, because I was already in doubt. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a correct assessment, because I have never eaten such a tasteless burger. No judicial attention whatsoever to the taste. My mother's dish, the steak, was equally disappointing: poorly seasoned and tasteless. The vegetables were also minimal in taste and uninspired. It seems like the chef could still use some basic lessons on spices and flavor development. In addition, the service left a lot to be desired. Although there were several staff members present, only one person seemed truly capable. The rest were young helpers who clearly lacked guidance. Basic matters such as lighting candles on the table were only done once the guests were already inside. We were shown to our table, but had to wait a long time before we could order a drink. Even ordering a second drink was difficult; I literally had to wave to get attention. During dinner we were not asked how it tasted, and upon departure we were not asked whether it was to our liking. There is a clear lack of hospitality and attention to the guest here. All in all a big disappointment. This restaurant has many areas for improvement, both in the kitchen and in the service. Certainly not worth repeating.

What a wonderful atmosphere. The service was great! Yes, you may have to wait a little longer, but the food more than makes up for it. Yes, it seems like a simple sandwich. But this one was very tasty! Ambience was also fine. #lunch

Beer burger very tasty. Thick burger with tasty mustard sauce, not heavy on the stomach. Delicious crispy fries. Very friendly waitress and male colleague.

It's a shame about this location that the staff is so unfriendly. I'm still dazed about it. We didn't get around to eating

Beautiful location and the menu promised us that the chefs put their heart and soul into the dishes. Unfortunately that was disappointing. Tasteless dishes, tough meat, fries cooked way too hard. The service was surly and cleared the plates even though not everyone had finished eating. Disappointing experience.

We stayed at the abbey for one night on a bike tour in Limburg. Instead of looking for a restaurant out in the evening, we paid a visit to the in-house brasserie. Our reservation, which we had made at reception that morning, could not be found, but they still had a place for us. First, we had to wait a long time for the waiter to take our drink order. The waiter didn't know "Ricard", one of the classic aperitif drinks. Instead of asking, he just looked at us strangely. It was only 15 seconds later that he was able to make eye contact with his colleague. It can happen, everyone learns. Forgive and forgiven. Now you usually expect that when the drinks are served, the food order also goes hand in hand. But we were left sitting with drinks and a menu. It wasn't until a good 10-15 minutes later (and God knows it wasn't busy!) that the waiter asked if we could order. We said yes and the waiter collected the menu cards. He would come immediately. We looked at each other puzzled: How are we supposed to order without a card? Two minutes later the waiter came back, gave us a card back (huh?) and we were finally able to order. The service - at least our waitress - still has a lot to learn, although some situations could have been avoided simply by asking or at least through simple logical thinking. There was also apparently no agreement between the two waitresses. About the food: The presentation of the food is appropriate, although e.g. B. a salad in a deep frying pot seems strange, but well - to each his own. The Rolduc burger was a culinary delight, two other dishes were average. Unfortunately, some of the food wasn't really warm (perhaps because it took the waiter as long to serve the food as it did to take the order?). The ambience is right and I am convinced that you could do a lot more with it here. First step: Hire experienced waitresses who really take the newcomers by the hand and show them how it's done. Every guest understands this, but not when you as a guest are left sitting there feeling unsettled. Working in the catering industry is also a training occupation for a reason. There's more to it than just a fake big smile.

The waitress had her drink before us. After an hour, there is still no sign of our seven drinks, let alone lunches, while the bartender quietly sips a glass of wine and her colleague sorts the cutlery again. After more than an hour and reordering twice, we received our beers without a glass, because they were gone. So grabbing a bottle and opening it took a bit of a long time if you ask me. The food still had to be prepared at that time, so we canceled that order Edit: Five minutes later the waiter came by to say that our order was ready, so we got lunch after all! The food is fine, the drinks are tasty (but you can also drink around the corner at the tasting room, you don't have to wait that long)

Well, as others rightly say, service is not your thing. It's not just a quick bite to eat. In the meantime, you can enjoy the relaxing abbey or read a book. You have to pick up the card yourself, order it, then report a little later that you had ordered and be told that the mint tea has run out. So that person gets a tea bag and then waits for the rest to drink. Then the waiter comes back to take the order... Well then we'll leave. Oh no, our food was already ready, so we ate here. The food is tasty, but you have to wait for it, a bit pricey. Written as we sit here for about an hour, without food.

After an hour of waiting, the waitress had brought wine for herself twice and we still had no food or drinks.

The location is beautiful, but the service is a joke. The 2 young waiters seem uninterested, in no hurry and have no sense of responsibility. Went for lunch today with 4 people. Abbey bread with spicy chicken was okay, but bread way too hard. Salad with salmon and scampi and croutons was delivered without scampi and croutons. Not a piece of bread, barely any dressing. The young waiter didn't know anything about it and eventually went to the kitchen to ask. Everything that wasn't there was gone. No alternative and paid full price (18.50) for half a salad..

Rarely had the need to write a review, but this was severely lacking. It will take a while before we can order. Tea and tonic is already a challenge for the young waiter. The tonic comes, we still have to wait for the tea. Eventually I get the boxes of loose tea, a while later the glass of hot water arrives I have to ask for a tea strainer. We order our lunch, 2 soups and 2 abbey breads (1x salmon and 1x chicken). Cutlery is brought, loose from the hand, all a bit clumsy. My husband gets 2 napkins, knife and fork. I get a knife and fork. A while later, 2 more spoons arrive, quite useful if you order soup. The soup is served with an oblong toast, the salad leaf on the toast is far from fresh. The soup is cold. We send the soup back and report that the garnish can no longer be served. The waiter reports that he is not concerned about that. The soup comes back, I suspect it went into the microwave. Soup is a little warmer, garnish is added again. Then the abbey bread (tastes good), the bread with chicken has no salad, the salmon does. We share the bit of salad, service has other priorities than serving guests. Salmon looks like it comes from a can. While waiting, it is noticeable that empty tables are still full of crumbs, the flowers on tables could have been put in the organic waste bin 3 days ago. For us, never again.

Food is good, service is below par. We had made a reservation for 2 people at 6:00 PM, but 20 minutes after arriving we were only asked for something to drink. 1 hour later after a complete group + 2 other tables received their starter, our starter arrived and the soup had become completely cold. After the complaint, this was exchanged for a new one, which took 15 minutes. We did not receive our main course until 8:00 PM, after many others who had arrived at least an hour later after us received their main course earlier. Also, no fries were served as promised. Complaints were mentioned several times by us, even between dishes, when staff reported that there was a shortage of staff due to a sick person. That's too bad. But then it is not true that other customers are more likely to receive dishes that are the same as ours.

Good food, but make sure you're not in a hurry. Rarely have I experienced such inefficient service. I have sometimes understood that as a waiter you should never return to the kitchen empty-handed. Well, that principle is certainly not known here. It also takes a very long time before orders are taken and the food is delivered. A couple next to us had to wait 40 minutes before they got their first drink. Then they still had to pass on their dinner wishes... And if it was very busy in the brasserie, that would have been a good excuse, but that was not the case. And then you have to wait quite a long time for your food and then the fish pot is also lukewarm...

Ate here with a group the day after Ascension. Almost half the menu was not available due to a logistical problem (ordered too little stock?). Tap water with coffee was prohibited, which is very inhospitable. This shows that as an entrepreneur you are mainly concerned with the money. It's the wrong kind of thrift as far as I'm concerned. It's not as if we just wanted to order tap water. The sandwiches were fairly sparsely filled and the coffee and pie were not served at the same time, the pie much later. Overall a disappointing experience. We won't be coming back here again. However, the location is beautiful.

Delicious food and friendly staff, but for us the fish was served lukewarm, otherwise perfect

Varying experience, ate twice, after the first time we thought: okay, eating here in the hotel is fine. Second time: almost raw fries, 1 instead of 2 bowls of salad, fish pan is on a large empty plate with 6 to 7 pieces of shrimp/fish, wrong dessert.

Unfortunately not recommended. It's expensive and the quality really sucks. I'm not a picky eater, but I ate some really terrible pumpkin soup there. There are better restaurants in the area.

Lovely meal. Main course could be a little warmer (cold plate).

Expensive Christmas dinner in buffet form, a sofa.

My daughter and I came here for dinner through social deals (with an overnight stay in the abbey) There was nothing to complain about the food and service, good food and friendly staff, but it was quite chilly everywhere (outside 3 degrees at that time)

Delicious food, friendly professional service. Despite the very high space, good acoustics and design.

Has a lot of potential, but food mediocre for that price. Some dishes ok, some flavorless/cold. Beware: not kids friendly. No kids menu/choice (only some fries with fried snacks), no playing area or otherwise. Young staff that did its best but was not instructed well enough. Kids food came later than our food and we had to ask for it. While we discussed the severe allergies of 1 of the group with the staff, this was not carried out in the food. Could have been a trip to the hospital if we hadn’t been careful ourselves. Several items on the (small) menu were not available. Would not recommend.

The service is not very smooth and seems very inexperienced. That's possible, but they also seem to have no interest at all in serving anyone. It was quiet, we wanted a snack board with our beer and were given the menu to choose from. However, that was it. Finally I walked to the bar myself to order. We checked with the kitchen to see if this was possible at that time and there was no problem. An hour later we left again without having seen a snack board. Miscommunication with the kitchen they said. It is special when you ask the kitchen whether a snack board is an option, and then no one in the kitchen thinks "where is that order?" Too bad, because it is a special location. Unfortunately, the service means that we will not return here again.

Unfortunately we were too close to the door, the hallways are not pleasantly warm so when the door opened a lot of cold came in unfortunately, otherwise very friendly staff and a good (small) kitchen, recommended 👍🎉😉

Nice place, good food, excellent service

We were 8 people. 6 people received the ordered lunch and two of us did not, they had forgotten it. Lunch was further disappointing. I had ordered a farmer's bread de luxe (with salmon and herb cheese), but I received a sandwich with very salty salmon and hummus spread underneath - so no herb cheese - and the lettuce that came with it was hard to find. Moreover, we had to wait for 45 minutes and had to repeatedly ask where lunch was. This has sometimes been much better at this brasserie.

Booked this hotel and dinner for 1 day through Social Deal and paid in advance. It is a beautiful location, but the service in the restaurant was poor. Upon arrival at the hotel, we could only choose from 2 times for the restaurant because it was "fully booked" at the other times. Upon entering there was no one to be seen, even after making some noises. Finally we sat down somewhere and grabbed the map ourselves. Due to the limited time we were given because it would be busy. Finally, after 7 minutes, a (bald) waiter came who was clearly irritated that we had sat down. It took quite a while before the dishes were served, especially since we were the only guests. It was a menu instead of a buffet as stated in the Social Deal. For a number of dishes a supplement had to be paid, for example if you did not want soup as a starter. The food was all prefab, from packets. In the kitchen we also happened to see afterwards that not a single burner was on / not really cooking. Ultimately, the restaurant was certainly not fully booked when we left around 7:30 PM, there were only 4 tables occupied? Why fully booked? Because we had made a booking using our room number, we assumed that the drinks could be booked in the room. Because no one from the staff was present again, we just left. In the hallway we were stopped by the dominant bald waiter and ordered to pay. We explained that there was no one there and thought it could just be booked in the room. All in all a very bad experience, in terms of food and especially the Limburg hospitality was very hard to find here. Especially with the waiter!

27,- voor een biefstuk dan verwacht je wel een hele, deze was niet compleet en taai. Bediening onervaren en werkt zich uit de naad door slechte organisatie, men laat gasten aan hun lot over, drie mensen achter de bar en slechts enkele gasten maar die worden genegeerd. Tuinbonen uit de vriezer waren verschrompeld, gravad lax zalm besteld maar gewone gekregen. Accomodatie is fantastisch daar betaal je voor.

Wonderful and superb service, you must visit.

Geen organisatie, ons eten werd aan andere mensen gegeven. Zodat we 1.5 uur moesten wachten. Heb verscheidene malen gezien dat de verantwoordelijke zich moet excuseren. Jammer...

We hadden aan de receptie van Rolduc een tafel voor 2 gereserveerd bij het inchecken voor de hotelkamer. En gelukkig waren we er op tijd bij. Binnen een uur zat het restaurant vol. Eenvoudige à la carte kaart, maar stuk voor stuk aan te raden gerechten. Van zalm, tot rundvlees, het stond er allemaal op. Ik had de saté met frites, met een mosterdsoepje vooraf. Heerlijk! En, om het geheel weg te spoelen, een echt door Rolduc gebrouwen kloosterbiertje, de "Broene Pater". Zalig! Personeel ook ontzettend vriendelijk en professioneel, ondanks de drukte. Al met al een gezellige avond.

The food was surprisingly good and paired nicely with their selection of beers which they brew themselves. Prices are decent as well. However, the staff could be a bit more attentive and friendlier, especially to non Dutch speakers

Fijne brasserie met voldoende menukeuze, ook mogelijkheden voor vegetariërs, redelijke prijzen, prima prijs-kwaliteitverhouding.

Heerlijk gegeten in een luxe en sfeervolle ambiance

Heel mooi en indrukwekkend hotel en heerlijk eten. We hadden deze geboekt via social deal en kregen een kamer zonder badkamer. Als we dat geweten hadden, hadden we toch voor een andere gekozen.

Super heerlijk geluncht. Vriendelijk personeel.Kortom echt een aanrader. Ik had boerenbrood met livar spek , brie, walnoten en honing. Een dikke 9. Mijn man boerenbrood de luxe met zalm , kruidenkaas. Ook dikke 9.

Mooie locatie en een lekkere lunch. Service was ondermaats. Twee verschillende menukaarten op tafel. Bestelde drankjes die niet aankomen. Bediening moet alles navragen in de keuken. Personeel doet zijn best maar voor deze locatie verwacht je iets meer.

Jammer dat er geen kaart standaard op de tafel ligt en we ongeveer 15 minuten later dan aankomst iets kunnen bestellen naar bekijken van de kaart

Heel gezellig personeel wat de tijd neemt om een praatje te maken. Lekker wijntje en eten. Aankleding is ook mooi.

Toffe bediening, lekker 3 gangen menu.

Zaterdagochtend. Heerlijke cappuccino met een lekker stukje kersenvlaai met slagroom, gastvrijheid. Mooie wandeling👟👟 gemaakt, hier kom ik zeker nog eens terug!

Mooi hotel. Echt aan te raden. Sfeervol.

Es ging, es ist nichts Besonderes irgendwie. Ich muss nicht noch einmal her.

FF kopje koffie gedaan. Grote prijzen voor kleine kopjes. Ambiance bepaalt hier de prijs, niet de consumpties.

Had a nice drink and meal. Staff was fun and gave good service!

Super entspanntes Essen für 34,50 €/p.P. 1⭐️ Abzug weil vom Platz zuweisen bis überhaupt eine Bedienung Kenntnis von uns genommen hat und unsere Getränkebestellung aufgenommen hat mind. 30 Minuten vergangen sind und nochmals 10 Minuten bis wir unser Essen bestellen durften. Hatten 3-gänge Essen mit Thunfisch, Fleisch und Creme Brule, alles was super angerichtet, mega lecker und schmackhaft. nur das hauseigene Dubble Bier war nicht so unser Fall. Fazit: 👍top und sehr zu empfehlen und kommen bestimmt mal wieder.

Great food and service. The place is very charming. We spent a night there, and as a package we had breakfast and a fantastic 3 course dinner.

We hadden een laat diner besteld wat perfect mogelijk was. Maar om dan een 3 gangen menu op een half uur op je tafel te krijgen gaat dat wel er wat over. Plus de vis was lauw en we voelde ons de ochtend erna niet echt lekker

Sehr angenehmer Ort zum entspannen und verweilen. Das Hotel ist einfach klasse kommen gerne wieder.

Lekker gegeten. Was wel flink aan de prijs

Ontzettend lekker gegeten en gedronken. Top personeel!

The food at the restaurant was really delicious, the service was great, the ambience was exceptional. We spent three excellent days here, enjoyed the great ambience of the monastery, relished the exceptionally delicious cuisine, and roamed around the rolling countryside of southern Limburg. The beer from their own brewery was fantastic too.
