Proeverij De Stadstuin in Wijk 01

It was very strange that we were not allowed a glass of tap water with our coffee and lunch. The waitress came over with full glasses right at our request, but was called back by the owner. We were told we should just order sparkling water. Understandable if you don't order anything else, but unacceptable when you also order coffee and lunch. Lunch was very tasty.

Lunch was tasty, but the cheese croquette was very small. My husband got a large meat croquette. All the toilets were quite dirty. The service was nice though, and the location was lovely.

Great food and a very relaxed atmosphere, the service is friendly and fast

That wasn't good. Had lunch here for the second time. Last time was fine. Food bad today. A salad with 200 ml dressing, so basically soup. And a fried vegetable with hummus that was undercooked. There was one warm tomato, though.

Unfortunately, not a pleasant experience. I was here with my daughter and had ordered nachos, among other things. In my opinion, these were fried far too dark, causing the cheese to be dry and the nachos to have a distinctly burnt taste. I pointed this out politely to the wait staff, who then passed it on to the owner. He subsequently brought the plate to our table and told us that, in his view, it was simply a good product and that it was due to the oven. I found that a remarkable reaction: naturally, the preparation is done by the oven, but in my opinion, these nachos were simply fried for too long or at too high a temperature. He then left the plate on the table and walked away. I eventually fished out the least burnt nachos. A little later, the table next to us ordered the same nachos. Their plate looked distinctly different: the nachos there were nicely fried. I pointed this out to the owner as well, but received only an irritated look in response. A mistake in the kitchen can happen, of course. What disappointed me most was the way my complaint was handled. A little understanding or simply acknowledging that this sign wasn't right would have made the experience very different. Unfortunately, as a customer, I felt like I wasn't taken seriously because of this.

Visited this little place yesterday for a bite to eat on the beautifully decorated garden terrace, and we were pleasantly surprised! Highly recommended. The decor is top-notch, the staff is enthusiastic, and the food... incredibly delicious. Go there and experience it for yourself!

Great lunch. It's a shame that smoking is allowed in the garden.

It is such a shame that Doesburg mustard soup is served here with fried onions in it. Since those onions had sunk to the bottom (so I hadn't seen them), it was a very unpleasant "surprise" at the bottom. It really doesn't taste good! Additionally, there is absolutely nothing for children for lunch, like a toasted sandwich. Yes, they have a kids' menu with fries and snacks, but well, those aren't lunch dishes in my opinion. The waitress was great though, and she handled the complaints properly.

We found a table outside and were greeted warmly in Dutch. Switching to English was no problem. My wife and I had a fantastic entrecote. The children had fries and bread with dips. The ambiance in the heart of the old town is beautiful. The interior is also lovely. Our waiter was very friendly, attentive, and efficient. I can wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant, even with messy children. 😅

What a lovely place to have lunch. Nice menu, also plenty of options for vegetarian and vegan dishes.

We were so happy to be able to stop here on Monday. We sat on the terrace in wonderful sunshine and enjoyed some soup and salad. It was a great break with excellent food.

Had a lovely lunch in the informal garden. Service very friendly. Good value for money.

I don't often write reviews, but this nice, cozy place rightfully deserves 5 stars. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and above all, fresh food.

Lovely city garden and fantastic mustard soup

Very cheerful and friendly service and welcome. Enjoyed a tasty meal; what more could you want on a weekday in Doesburg?

What a nice development. People who understand taste. No run-of-the-mill flavors, but beautiful, pure dishes. A delicious glass of wine to go with it. I will definitely be back.

Nice, atmospheric place to eat. Flammkuchen is very tasty: highly recommended. Friendly service and clean toilet.

We had a delicious lunch this morning and another wonderful dinner this evening. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly, and the food is truly fantastic. The owners and staff are also very friendly, and we felt very welcomed. Thank you again for your hospitality. Best regards, Mirjam and René from Assen

We had a fantastic meal! We were able to make some adjustments to the menu with some consultation. The service was very friendly. The interior of the building is unique, with seating options both high and low.

A cozy place with a pleasant atmosphere. They even have a delicious rosé beer, which is a nice surprise. The food is well-balanced in price and quality. The menu changes regularly, with variety in the dishes and also good vegetarian options. All in all, a lovely place to eat and relax.

The soup and bread were fine, nothing special. When I asked for a glass of water with my coffee, I had to buy a sparkling water bottle. Because it was busy, we were seated at a large table. When we tried to move to a table because a spot became available, the owner refused (??). There were no changing facilities for children. Despite the food being excellent and the atmosphere, it felt like the owner was primarily focused on maximizing sales, but in an inhospitable manner.

What a lovely atmosphere at Proeverij de Stadstuin. We've been there for the second time. It was once again a pleasant experience, and the food was delicious and plentiful. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, which is always a pleasant touch. They're an enthusiastic and diverse team that works well together. A pleasant surprise, and we'll definitely be back in the charming city of Doesburg. 👍.

We've eaten at Stadstuin several times. We always receive a warm welcome from owner Jurgen. The service is cheerful, and the food is delicious, lovingly prepared by chef Vincent! It's a cozy restaurant where it's a pleasure to stay.

Friday, Oct 31, 2025, went out for dinner here with a friend. Number of stars until 9 PM: 5 Number of stars after 9 PM: 1 The entrance was pleasant: there was a nice atmosphere, the people at the large table were laughing, nice music was playing through the speakers, and the staff greeted me in a friendly manner. The man and the girl who served us were very nice and lightning fast. The food was tasty; simple and good. Shortly after 9 PM, an older blonde woman came to the table to announce the last round. Did we want another drink? Because they were closing at 10 PM. I looked at the clock… at that moment it was a few minutes past 9 PM… Personally, I thought it was rather early to announce the last round. On a Friday night, no less. A few minutes later, the music stopped. At 9:23 PM, our conversation was abruptly interrupted by the same woman, who, with a firm gesture, “placed” the bill on the table with a slam. I was in the middle of a sentence. She added that she wanted to count the cash register in advance. After all, it was almost closing time. My girlfriend and I were perplexed. “Gobsmacked,” as the British so nicely put it. Our jaws dropped in utter astonishment. I was instantly completely fed up with it and wanted to leave. My girlfriend went to pay. While she was doing so, she said in a businesslike yet friendly tone what this way of presenting the bill was doing to us and that the generous tip we had in mind was definitely not going to be given now. The owner (was she the owner?) went completely on the defensive and couldn't take the feedback at all. What a huge blunder this is. Because of this woman's behavior, I won't be coming back.

Everything is closed in Doesburg on a Monday, except for this place. Had a delicious meal with one of the best Carpaccio sandwiches! Highly recommended!

Nice place with good food and drinks. Friendly service and a great atmosphere. I'd be happy to go back.

Great, just great people. That's really what it is.

I wanted to have lunch, but unfortunately, I can't eat large portions. So instead of two croquettes on bread, I ordered one croquette on one slice of bread. That turned out to be impossible because "they work with fixed portions." I couldn't understand it: croquettes and slices of bread aren't supposed to be attached to each other, right? Very inhospitable, in my opinion. Too bad. I finish my coffee and leave.

Reading other people's reviews of Stadstuin de Proeverij, one gets the impression that some visitors are lucky and others aren't. Unfortunately, our experience wasn't a good one. Upon entering, the owner rudely told us we could only sit in the city garden if we were eating; we had to sit on the terrace. The staff kindly tried to make our coffee, tea, and cake enjoyable. This was undone at the end of our visit when, after paying, while we were packing our bags and someone else was using the restroom, the owner immediately asked us to leave. He said, "There are people waiting to sit in my expensive chairs." The refreshments and the staff were excellent, but the owner wasn't having a good day during our visit. His hospitality left much to be desired.

Arrived after a long hot cycle ride looking forward to a meal. We ordered beer & a cocktail & I asked for some tap water alongside but was refused! Told outright they do not serve tap water & even when I explained my thirst then visited by owner at table who reinforced his position. We left. I don’t want to be treated like that on principle.

Good service. The food was delicious. It's a shame the umbrellas were suddenly retracted because rain was forecast in two hours. It would have been a nice spot if the candles had been burning and the umbrellas had been open.

Great food and friendly service.

Great cappuccino, very friendly staff. They even brought cookies for the dog!

Given the reviews I expected a bit more. Not expensive but also relatively small portions, but tasty. Staff contradicts each other about what is in a dish, but good that I asked again, otherwise I would have eaten shrimps anyway. Too bad.

The Waag may be beautiful, but 20 meters further on you have the Stadstuin, better food and at least as cozy

Per toeval hier terechtgekomen. Voortreffelijk gegeten, het eten was smaakvol. Vriendelijke bediening. Leuk om te zien dat de eigenaar na een drukke dag nog vol passie met z’n zaak aan het werk is. En wat een mooi straatje met al die monumentale panden. Wij zouden dit restaurant zeker aanbevelen en wij komen hier nog eens terug.

We hebben hier al eerder geluncht en dat is prima. Goede smaken. Heel vriendelijke bediening door studenten die het heel goed, gastvrij en vriendelijk doen. Maar wat doet die eigenaar toch constant in de deuropening? De bediening kan er slecht langs, clientèle durft niet naar binnen en gasten op het buitenterras voelen zich bespied. Stop daar toch mee!!

Gastvrij ontvangen door de eigenaar en lekker gegeten. We komen zeker nog eens terug in Doesburg in deze gezellige zaak!

Wat een heerlijke plek in hartje Doesburg. Zelfs na een lange dag hard werken vriendelijk, open en liefdevol ontvangen en voorzien van lekker eten en een heerlijk biertje. Echt een aanrader! Wij komen zeker terug!

Arrived at Proeverij de Stadstuin at 16.45 to have a drink and a snack. The terrace was empty... half full inside. But for people who only came for a drink there was no more room..... at a quarter to 5. The places now had to be kept free for diners. At a quarter to 5. You understand completely.

Hervorragendes Restaurant mit Terrasse vor der Tür und der schönen Hansestadt Doesburg, einem modernen und gemütlichen Innenambiente, das einlädt zum längeren Verweilen und einer Tuinterras (Gartenterrasse) die wiederum einmalig und sehr gemütlich ist. Ich bin gerne hier und komme wieder!!!

Nice café, restaurant in historic Doesburg. Had great coffee.

Enjoyed the Doesburg mustard soup in the garden!

Delicious food, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Unfortunately, one dish that was served was less warm, but that was quickly resolved. Excellent price-quality ratio!

Showed the door because we just wanted something to drink. A bit crazy

Super nice, atmospheric little restaurant. We had dinner here with 10 people at a nice table near the bar. Friendly and social service who did everything they could to make adjustments to dishes properly. Tasty dishes and cocktails. Highly recommended if you are in Doesburg.

Spontaneously walked in here for a drink in their inner city garden. Three pots of tea, each in a different color. One fresh mint other two herb garden. And a coffee. All tasted good. Didn't taste apple pie but looked good. Being able to chat quietly with each other. They certainly tried to decorate the garden with all kinds of hanging brightly colored umbrellas and a beautiful banner that matches the environment. Perhaps a tip to have a mural painted on the back wall.

Always good food and great service

Very cozy furnishings. Friendly staff . And the drinks and food are excellent

What delicious dishes! Fantastic food (and let us know). Large portions of food and on the table quickly. Busy restaurant. We got there around 6 am when it was still quiet, but in no time it was almost full. I can recommend everyone to eat here.

I had a delicious meal here After a long bike ride we arrived in atmospheric Doesburg This cozy but also tasteful restaurant is located in the heart of Doesburg, where you can sit comfortably and comfortably You can park your bike across the street and then enjoy food and drinks in peace Highly recommended!!! If you come to Doesburg, enjoy the city garden!

What a flutter! We have been coming here for lunch several times a year for years. Because we had forgotten a lock, we asked if our expensive racing bikes could be left in the garden for a while. I can't help you was the answer. What an arrogant ball of a guy. Never again!!

Good food, very friendly people and a beautiful city garden

A business run by enthusiasts. Worth a visit just for the wide choice of La Trappe on tap. And the espresso is absolutely delicious. I was there in winter now, I can't wait for the garden terrace to open!

Delicious food. Varied menu, great service.

Leckeres Essen, schöne Einrichtung, super nette Bedienungen und tolles Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, wir kommen gerne wieder

Nice restaurant, delicious food, top service

Nice meal. Friendly service. You cannot make a reservation here. This makes it a bit difficult if you want to be sure that you can have a bite to eat there with your family or friends.

Celebrated my birthday on Saturday in the Stadstuin with a lunch for 36 people. Everything was absolutely great! The food was delicious and various dietary requirements were well taken into account. The service was very friendly and quick and all in a great atmosphere. A truly top location for a party. Thank you Jurgen and team!

Really fantastic every time and always such a warm welcome there Recommended!

I had a very delicious lunch here, fantastic carpaccio sandwich with delicious fries and not to forget a nice hot coffee! Staff is super neat, always cheerful. Nothing to complain about!

We ate there twice very well, great value for money, service very friendly and attentive, atmosphere very cozy.

The backyard with terrace is a paradise in the middle of Doesburg. Great!

Nice restaurant in the Hanseatic city of Doesburg, excellent menu with wines, the same, the quiche (special) is very tasty, very friendly service too.

Tasty food, food was there within 7-10 minutes. Good service and cozy location. 5 stars for a tasty meal⭐️

Nice, small courtyard Nice staff Too bad the prices are a bit over the top, for one Flamküchen with lean you pay €14, this is more than you pay for a well-filled, fresh pizza at a real Italian restaurant

I left a review saying that the food was tasty but that the service and atmosphere could be a little more customer-friendly. Apparently the company I had with me at the time is now no longer allowed to come back because I posted a review with feedback. Special way of acting.

Service friendly, hospitable and fast. Lunch was delicious. We will definitely come back

Had dinner here yesterday. Had the daily special: pork tenderloin medallions with pepper cream sauce. Rarely have I eaten such deliciously tender pork tenderloin. Perfect!!!!!! As well as the enthusiastic service. Made the dinner complete!

We sat on the terrace and had a delicious meal.

Had a nice meal in the city garden. Friendly service.

Delicious coffee and cake. Friendly staff.

Delicious food...super nice service

The city garden is a cozy restaurant with good service (in a nice, informal way), excellent food and friendly prices. Penultimate time I ate a tailpiece and now a ribeye. Truly delicious! The portions are large enough and it is nicely presented.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff . Food and drinks of good quality!

We ended up here by chance and the large sign on the street with “cozy courtyard” attracted us. The courtyard could use some care and is not really attractive. The lady who helped us was friendly, but when we asked if the parasol could be raised (because of the children), she wanted to do so, but after that we no longer felt very welcome. The atmosphere really changed too. When my son proudly wanted to order, he was sent away “to go to his mother”, my child said, he got in the way. When I walked along and told the friendly lady what was happening, I understood. Of course I don't want soup or anything to fall on my children. However, the gentleman thought it necessary to imitate a snitch “they should just stay put” and a look…! So don't go here with younger children. I have rarely felt so unwelcome here.

Delicious food, top service. Very committed and attentive staff. We worked very hard on this Ascension Day. Compliments.

Very bad experience. Croquettes were very greasy and hard, the order for 2 x croquette sandwiches took more than half an hour, even though it was really not full. The garden is very unkempt, while with new/extra pebbles, a lick of paint and some plants it can quickly look better. A shame, because the location is great. The staff cannot do much with this, but the owner certainly can...

The food was delicious, quick and friendly service, in short, a great place!

Nice tent in a centuries-old building, exceptionally friendly and caring service, nice fresh lunch dishes.

A cozy and delicious meal outside on the terrace. Super friendly service 👌

Eigenlijk erg duur voor wat je krijgt. Balletje gehakt met twee sneetjes wit brood €11.50 Satesaus …. Ja een heeeeeel klein beetje (1 eetlepel) en gebakken uitjes, ja ook… twee theelepeltjes, dat was het. En die satesaus was ook nog erg dun. Jammer gemiste kans. Wel lekker La Trappe bier… maar ja… dat maken ze dan ook niet zelf. Wij geven een 6 als cijfer. Sorry maar we komen niet meer terug. Gewoon echt te duur!!

Nice location for lunch. Good coffee, good food

What a nice restaurant with a great price-quality ratio. Nice atmosphere, nice service. Just like a nice catering opportunity should be. We will definitely come more often 🥳🤗

Wonderful Ambience in the City Center of Doesburg, Food and drinks were delicious. A big fat 10..

The meatballs were not warm, the fries were barely or not salted and the salad was poorly prepared. No salt and pepper on the table. It was poorly lit at the back, cold and smelled like sewage. The staff was very busy chatting.

Charming little restaurant. Great card and friendly people. Worth repeating. A minus point: the heating could be a bit higher

Nice place for a late lunch on a busy Sunday afternoon in December. We sat in the back by the window on high chairs and close to the bar; The restaurant is easily visible from here. Coffee, croquette with bread and a glass of wine to finish was all fine. The staff was friendly and alert.

Heerlijk gegeten! Gezellig restaurant en snelle service. Zeker aan te raden!!

De lunch was sobertjes. Smaakte wel maar hoeveelheid was magertjes ,daarbij bruine stukjes sla in salade. Bediening: wat onverschillig, staan vooral gezellig samen achter de bar te praten. Al met al: zeker geen toppertje.

Gezellig restaurant met heerlijk eten. Kaart biedt voldoende keuze uit vlees, vis en vega. Nette prijzen.

Eindelijk een etablissement waar ze begrijpen wat bedienen is. Top

We liepen eerst voorbij deze zaak en met toeval er weer langs gelopen, op het binnen terras gezeten. Lekker gegeten, vriendelijke bediening.

Alles was prima,eten goed personeel vriendelijk.in een gezellige stadstuin.

Hier vandaag gegeten en alles was top. Aardige meiden in de bediening, goed eten en ook nog meer dan genoeg.

Goed eten, fijne service. Alleen het eten duurde wat lang voordat we het kregen. Lunch de stadstuin is een grote aanrader om te nemen! Heerlijk en niet duur voor wat je krijgt.

Heerlijke uienringen met dips. Leuke sfeer,grappige en vriendelijke jongen in de bediening. Mooie prijs kwaliteit verhouding Wel jammer dat de Doesburgse gehaktballen niet meer op de kaart staan.

Leuke sfeer, vlotte en vriendelijke bediening, lekker eten.

Stadstuin is veel kleiner en kan wel wat meer groen gebruiken. Veel terras aan de Koepoort geplaatst.

Leuke entourage, goede bediening en heerlijk eten!
