Restaurant De Basiliek in Wijk 00

We are clients for two years, tonight we got there sate, iam sorry but the sate had no taste.. the sauce you think it’s something for the far east ..taste to nothing.. i could not find a peanut taste .. In the beginning it was really good.. but it seems there is no more feeling in the food.. really a shame.. always when I get a coffee they give me there very good bonbons.. tonight I got my coffee but the waitress told me .. sorry it’s out of stock.. ore my waitress forgot it …you can’t deliver this to a client who is hier for more then 2 years.. it’s ok .its a shame .. maybe it’s better to sell there restaurant to someone who have a feeling.. its really a beautiful restaurant with so professional kitchen.. it’s a shame .. we don’t come back .. and also ore friends had the same experience..iam sorry.. but this is not good for the reputation from a really good restaurant who is going down the drain good luck, but think twice before you open a restaurant..

Delicious food in style and a nice private atmosphere, highly recommended

We had another delicious meal at the Basilica. The restaurant has a pleasant ambiance and the location is beautiful and quite unique, being in a small church. You can tell that a lot of care and attention goes into the food. The dishes are beautifully presented with wonderful flavors and often made with local ingredients. If you're coming from Groningen, it's a bit of a drive, but it's more than worth it!

While passing through, we tried this unique restaurant (located in a stunningly beautiful former church!). The presentation, textures, and seasonings are all top-notch! The only slight drawback was the rather cool temperature; it is a church, after all 😉 You won't find better restaurants in the area!

We recently dined at the Basilica. Aside from dessert, the food was excellent, the atmosphere pleasant, the service reasonable (a bit more enthusiasm would have been nice), but the welcome and departure were downright terrible. There wasn't even a welcome at all; no one helped at the entrance, greeted us, took coats, or showed us to our seats (we'd discussed this beforehand). The same thing happened when we left; you just had to manage... Well, we won't be going back there anytime soon.

We had De Basiliek do the catering for our wedding. They also helped us with the decorations, tents, and dance floor. Perfectly organized!

My favorite restaurant in Groningen. Always delicious and often with unique appetizers.

Beautiful place, excellent and friendly staff, but above all, delicious food.

Super nice location and delicious food.

Delicious food, everything was super tasty

Lovely ambiance; very atmospheric and fantastic food!

Beautiful location, where I've been several times and it never disappoints. Today we had the three-course chef's menu for lunch, and (although that wasn't an option on the menu) vegetarian. It was delicious! The starter of various pumpkin preparations was particularly delicious. There aren't many staff and it was quite busy, but service was quick and friendly.

Had a wonderful evening. Celebrated my 67th birthday with my wife. Great atmosphere, beautifully decorated, and the service was very helpful. The food was a true surprise. Each course was a work of art. Exquisite flavors. In short, TOP.

Enjoyed a delicious meal in a lovely atmosphere.

The food was fantastic, and everything was perfect: the ambiance, the atmosphere, and the very friendly and helpful staff. Every course was a feast; we were very pleasantly surprised; everything was delicious and made with love. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back; it was a wonderful evening. We highly recommend it.

A very good restaurant with a special ambiance.

My god, what kind of coffee is this? Undrinkable.

We love eating at De Basiliek. The atmosphere is wonderful and the dishes are delicious. Everything is prepared with great care and expertise. The service is perfect. See you soon!

A beautiful location in the center of Appingedam that has much more potential. The service seems a bit inexperienced. Tables weren't cleared in a timely manner, making it very messy. Empty tables in the center without chairs. The atmosphere could use some improvement, as the building is perfect for that. The food was excellent.

Beautiful restaurant in the former St. Nicholas Church! Excellent menu. Friendly service. Very tasty 4-course menu with all the trimmings.

The pearl chicken is gorgeous everything looks delicate we are very satisfied

Have eaten delicious several times. The food is excellent

I had a quiet and leisurely lunch. I enjoyed the quaint atmosphere and friendly service. The food was generally good, but the mustard soup was a bit salty for me. I recommend it if you're looking for a unique dining experience.

I can highly recommend it, we only drank coffee, a very good idea to turn it into a restaurant

A beautiful place with delicious food. The prices are reasonable for the quality!

Dining at the Basilica is an experience in the broadest sense of the word. The location is beautiful, the service superb, and the food delicious! We arrived with a group of 10 people. We were welcomed with the choice of rosé prosecco or Vuurzee (champagne beer), or of course, something else to drink. Three delicious appetizers were served with them, followed by a delightful amuse-bouche. After the starter and main course, all we needed was a cup of coffee. And with that, three more delicious friandises were served (the honey cake, in particular, was phenomenal). We thoroughly enjoyed it!

We had a wonderful meal here, the service was fantastic and the restaurant is incredibly beautiful and very tastefully decorated!

After the amuses, which were really good, we had high expectations. Unfortunately, our starters and main courses were not as good. Especially the sauces were disappointing. The hollandaise on my oysters had a weird consistency and lacked the acidity which is typical of a good hollandaise. The bisque that came with the fish man course was not concentrated, as it should be. The fish was dry, it was overcooked. The vegetables that came with the main course were OK, but no more than that. The large dish of oven roasted potatoes that came as a side dish lacked the refinement that one would expect from a restaurant like this. Serve less please and make it something special! Service was attentive at the start, but we were ignored completely for twenty minutes after having finished our main course. We just sat in front of our emptied plates with staff passing us without so much as looking at our table. So we left without getting a dessert. All in all, not a great experience, especially considering the price level. It is a real pity because the entourage with the high ceilings, chandeliers and stained glass windows is quite something. But: in the end, it's the quality of the food and the service that make or break a restaurant. There's some work to be done here...

We went there for lunch and were very pleasantly surprised. The mustard soup with bacon was delicious. Super friendly staff! The "you write, we post" principle is a great idea.

Had a delicious coffee and cheesecake. Nice, clean atmosphere. Friendly, helpful waitress.

Had a delicious lunch on the terrace.

Delicious food and friendly staff!

Delicious food, good and fast service with helpful advice. Beautiful location! Highly recommended. Excellent value for money.

Stunning location with very good food (generous portions too). Highly recommended.

Enjoyed a lovely meal outside with excellent service.

A bit more expensive than restaurants in the area, but the price-quality ratio is more than fine.

Very nice restaurant with delicious dishes. There are so many restaurants these days that all serve the same thing where the quality is often disappointing compared to the price. That is certainly not the case here. The quality is very good for a reasonable price. You may pay a little more than average but at least you get something in return. A restaurant that is worth driving around for.

Can I give 10 stars? If so I would. It was wonderful. The food was unbelievably good. The service was impeccable. The atmosphere was wonderful. It was such a lovely experience. Highly recommend. We did the six course meal (vegetarian). Loved every dish.

Super delicious – very unique ambiance, and the staff very friendly and attentive. Totally worth it!

We wanted to have a drink on the terrace on Friday afternoon at about a quarter past four. We also wanted a snack platter. We were told that this would be difficult because the staff would start eating themselves. And the snack platter was also quite large. A bit of a missed opportunity, around four o'clock is a great time for a drink, isn't it? Furthermore, I have always been very satisfied with this location, but this was a bit of a disappointment. Perhaps that was also the reason that the terrace was otherwise empty on this beautiful summer day. The service and the food were otherwise fine, by the way. For the afternoon drink, we will go somewhere else next time.

Lunch in the church! A restaurant located in a secularized church. Great atmosphere. You have to admit.

Excellent 4-course menu with wine pairing. Exceptional ambiance and very friendly service.

Beautiful location (and special tableware), friendly and well-informed staff and above all: what exceptionally tasty and beautifully presented dishes! The surprise menu is highly recommended

Top location, atmosphere, food and service were very nice!

What a feast! We took a trip to celebrate our wedding anniversary and stumbled upon this wonderful restaurant by chance. It was truly the perfect ending. Thanks to the wonderful team! We will be back.

Nice service, really surprising flavors, such as fried capers and pointed pepper sauce. The appetizers, just like the rest of the courses, always looked very artistic and colorful. You could really see and taste that the chef cooked with love for his profession. Also a nice casual atmosphere and for the number of courses the service was quite fast, but with long enough intervals that you could enjoy the previous course until the next surprise arrived. Definitely worth eating here once. I would definitely like to eat here again sometime. This was really something different than usual. Very friendly service who immediately inquired at the beginning about the presence of any diets (vegetarian) and allergies (peanuts), so that was very nice. Moreover, they offer an entirely vegan menu. This time, however, we chose to be surprised by the chef. And he certainly surprised us with the combination of scents, colors, flavors, texture and consistency that together always formed a very tasty whole. Until the next one!

Elegant, beautiful ambience coupled with some great food and excellent service! The icing on the cake for us was discovering the whole vegan 5 course Dutch menu! Unimaginable to get a 5 course, complete vegan menu 🎉🎊🎇 They also kindly arranged a nice birthday surprise for our daughter!

A restaurant located in a basilica. It exudes a serene tranquility. Spacious, a lunch to enjoy. The hummus was delicious, not too heavy and fresh in taste. Is not a stone's throw from our house, so I won't be returning there anytime soon.

Beautiful place for lunch and dinner. Good quality of food and good portions.

Heerlijk eten, betaalbaar eten. Fantastische locatie (oud kerkje) en ook nog heel vriendelijk en attent personeel. Eén echte aanrader.

Delicious food in a beautiful location. Every dish was a surprise and a taste explosion for your mouth. Highly recommended.

Great restaurant: The food was amazing, unexpected, unforgettable taste experiences. Super nice, friendly service, fantastic ambience. Not cheap but absolutely inexpensive. Top class food. The best thing I've eaten in years. AGAIN AND AGAIN!

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Had lunch there and it was very tasty. Tasty tomato soup and delicious fresh bread with butter: easy to do 😁

Verbluffend lekker gegeten. Veel groente en fruit, goede porties. En oogstrelende combinaties, schitterend servies

Beautiful Chef's menu for lunch. Delicious food, hospitable staff and what a beautiful location.

We had a family dinner with 14 people last Saturday evening. Unfortunately, I became very ill during dinner and the ambulance was called. I would like to thank the staff for their good care. Hopefully the guests didn't notice much of it, but for us it was really bad. After the main course we went home. The missed dessert was settled at checkout, which we greatly appreciated. The next day we received a call from the manager to ask how I was doing. We also really appreciated that. I am now better again and I want to let you know that we will definitely come back to the Basilica!

Super leuke locatie, uiterst vriendelijke mensen, zalige wijnen en bovenal heerlijk gegeten. Absoluut een aanraden Ik zou meteen de B&B erbij boeken want ook dit is top

Very nice location, where you can eat well and in a special location, which can also be booked for meetings, with a private room. For example, for a group meeting or brainstorming session, and then enjoy a delicious meal with the group

We had lunch with stew and fish from the auction with salad and fries. Delicious food and good and friendly service.

The food was delicious, great service and a very beautiful building.

Seemingly endless course menu was full of creativity and pleasant surprises! The staffs are kind and generous in sharing extra tapas to try. Each course may come out quite slowly, so be there when you have plenty of time to enjoy with folks :)

Fantastic location with delicious food and great service. If you want to enjoy culinary delights you should definitely go here.

We had the 5 course surprise menu. Everything was delicious. They use local ingredients. Probably the best piece of pork I ever tried. Definitely going back 😁

Delicious food, fast and friendly service. Location is very beautiful!

Beautiful location, extensive menu, very nice staff.

Good food, good service, cozy. Ok price.

It was fantastic, the welcome, the ambiance, the atmosphere, the professionalism of the service, the dishes served on beautiful crockery. we chose from the menu, 3 courses: starter-main course and a heavenly chocolate dessert, it was all delicious.

Wat een prachtige plek in Appingedam, erg mooi restaurant heel professioneel erg lekker eten. De amuses waren fantastisch. Het personeel vriendelijk. Kortom zijn wij blij dat we dit hebben mogen ervaren.

Beautiful location and beautiful creative dishes with bold flavors. A real 'must go' for the gourmet. I have not yet come across a better restaurant in this price range

We come here more often to eat or sit on a terrace. This time we were there for high tea with friends. Well cared for and enough for everyone. Recommended! Delicious.

Gisterenavond voor de 2e keer hier gegeten echt fantastisch. Een hele belevenis. 3 appetisers. Voor degene met de voedselallergieën andere amuses dan voor de partner. Een mini soepje, een mini taco met vullig, en een rijstkussentje met topping voor degene met de allergieën. Een mini soepje, mini panipuri gevuld, en een mini merenge met topping voor mijn partner. Gevolgd door wederom een heerlijke amuse. Een soort mini aardappelsalade met brood en boter met zout voor de liefhebber. Partner had een cevice van zeebaars als voorgerecht. Als hoofdgerecht de ossenhaas en als dessert een dessert met mandarijn. Ik de gerookte gansen fillet vooraf aangepast aan mijn dieet. Vis van de dag zijnde zeebaars met een heerlijke kokos/lime saus diverse aardappelgarnituur en diverse groenten. Als dessert chefs keuze aangepast aan mijn dieet. Zijnde abrikozen ijs, jam, appelcompote en een bramen bavarois met verse bramen en walnoten. Tot slot koffie en thee toe. Met wederom heerlijke kleine hapjes. Waarbij die van mij aangepast waren aan mijn dieet. Echt genieten in dit restaurant. Een echte aanrader. Alles was even lekker. Met zorg en kundig bereid. Je bent echt een avond uit hier. Reserveren is aan te raden. Zeker waneer er voedselallergieën zijn.

Strange experience to sit in a church for drinks and food

It is a very nice cozy restaurant in an old church With good friendly service Delicious food in good atmospheric surroundings

Beautiful atmosphere in an old church, we opted for the surprise menu, it was very tasty with beautiful flavor combinations. The staff was very friendly and could tell exactly what was on your plate.

Beautiful location for lunch. Very friendly staff. Dogs are not allowed, but if it is dry and not too busy it is not a problem.

I have been working in the municipality of Eemsdelta in recent weeks and have tasted almost all the salads. Restaurant de Basiliek was head and shoulders above all restaurants tried.

At the beginning of the week we were spoiled again with the chef's menu! Every plate is a picture and then comes the flavor explosion. In this case, the ceviche and wine choice with the main course stood out. Wine was Georgian. A discovery!! Now we have to wait for the upcoming autumn/wild menu. Let us surprise you again!!

Nice ambiance, ordered a 4 course dinner with a friend, delicious appetizers, good starter/dessert, too large portion of main course (1 portion undercooked). Solved by coffee/tea from home. But in general portions were much too large for us. Main course in intermediate course format was better for us.

Delicious food in a beautiful building with very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Nice, atmospheric location, surprising and with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food was top notch, both visually and tastefully. With my diet, the chef managed to prepare my food in such a way that it was a feast for me, just like the others. Thank you all very much.

The high tea was delicious. Good explanation and dietary requirements were very well taken into account. A beautiful location.

Great place with amazing food. We ate so many different types of food that I was sure my stomach was going to hurt after but I felt great, which just goes to show you how high-quality the food is.

Great surprising three-course menu. Worth a Michelin star. It's a shame that not enough people know how to find this gem on a weekday evening

Beautiful location for a delicious meal.

What a wonderful unknown place to eat this is. Never knew it existed.

Very casual atmosphere and relaxed service. Appetizers and food are really classy.

Delicious food, I am always surprised by the taste and dishes. Very friendly staff. They keep seeing me.

Als fiere Vlamingen (Bourgondiërs) vanavond met mijn vrouwtje gaan dineren in de Basiliek. Het kader van het restaurant is uitzonderlij mooi en zeer remantisch. Een zeer mooi gerestaureerde kerk. Samen het 5 gangen menu besteld met voor mij het wijnarrangement erbij. Niets op af te keuren. Super bediening.Heerlijk eten en positief verassende wijnen. Team de basiliek: doe zo verder en hopelijk tot binnenkort.

What a great experience...see you soon 😍

To our pleasant surprise, a Dutch Cuisine restaurant with a beautiful DC menu. That is completely vegetarian, although DC stands for 80% vegetables and 20% meat or fish. Vegetables in the leading role. And ingredients from the region as much as possible. We are not vegetarian and we chose a three-course chef's menu. Super. In the photo a carpaccio of smoked wild goose (there are many geese in the area) with a zucchini panacotta. All dishes tip-top, beautiful flavors, including the appetizers. What does a man want more? And the service was friendly, correct and witty. The basilica is a pearl for Appingedam and the surrounding area.

Beautiful location. Super friendly service and delicious dishes. Also very accessible for the disabled.

In a former church in the center of Appingedam. Imaginative chef who creates amazingly delicious combinations of flavors. Nice service.

Super nice place to go. Very refined food and as a vegetarian/vegan you can really let yourself go!

In Appingedam bij de hangende keukens een parel van restaurant ontdekt. Mooie, smakelijke en creatieve gerechten. Fantastische bediening in een prachtig pand. Absolute aanrader!!

Schitterende gerechten in een schitterende oude kerk. Zeer vriendelijke mensen. Verder gewoon daarheen gaan en genieten.

A magical culinary journey in a special atmosphere. Very good service.

Fantastic dining in a prime location. Be surprised by the chef!

Amazing food and service. Definitely worth the drive. Dinning is a magical journey of flavors and a wonderful experience.

That was high dining!! Great ambience, attentive service and the best, fresh food, lovingly prepared! It's a shame we live so far away.

Went there for the second time for a small group dinner taking the four course "surprise" menu. The food was delicious and was presented very well on beautiful plates. Friendly waitress was knowledgeable about the food. The restaurant itself is in an old church which provides you with a very nice ambiance.
