Restaurant de Watermolen in Wijk 02 Velp

Goed gegeten, goede wijnen, goede bediening. Echter, de prijs is veel te hoog voor het gebodene. Met name het voorgerecht (coquille met kreeft) was minimalistisch voor een maximum prijs.

Super restaurant in a small town. Lovely people, great food, extra large wine list. Beautiful interior. Love it ! We took 7 course menu

Beautiful interior, lovely stuff, great food. Yes its slow food, so give yourself time, 2-3 hours. And wine list ! Huge !

Some dishes were very good, others not. On the positive side we have the burrata with gazpacho, the vitello tonnato and the deer, three fine dishes. However, the scallop with lobster salad was not fully convincing as the subte taste of the lobster was masked by the strong flavour of a cocktail sauce. The leek in the vegetarian main course was fibrous and overcooked. The wine list is fine and the service friendly, but sliightly overwhelmed at times on a busy evening.

Truly fantastic! We had dinner here with culinary friends. One of the things we share is cooking for each other when we're together...about 3 or 4 times a year...and have been for 37 years. But now that the fourth member of our family has retired, the gentlemen thought we'd treat ourselves to a nice dinner out as a surprise. It must have been special...we ended up at De Watermolen in Velp. I'd been there a few times with my wife before...but I was curious what it would be like this time. The reviews were still very good, so we booked Tafelthe. No regrets! What a delight. We opted for the culinary 4-course menu with, among other things, scallops, venison, and a cheese platter. Beautiful dishes, delicious flavors, lovely wine pairings...and a relaxed atmosphere and pleasant service. In short, everything was perfect...well, almost...next time, it'll be "standard," just a small cookie or bonbon with the coffee or tea...I say this with a smile...because then it'll really be perfect...because we didn't feel like having too many extra cookies or bonbons after the truly sublime meal...but a plain cup of coffee or tea (which was very good, by the way) is really not acceptable, we think ;-). Thanks for a lovely evening out.

eerlijk gezegd al wel een beetje op internet gekeken naar restaurants in Velp En de watermolen leek ons wel wat, middags even kijken, eigenaar was net buiten met wat bezig , kort gesprekje en gereserveerd voor de avond. Kortom Prima adres, erg nette bediening, plek zag er prima uit en heerlijk eten, complimenten zijn op de plaats Ook op zoek naar een heerlijke plek om te eten en te genieten> zeker gaan

Had a delicious meal and it was accessible by wheelchair via the side entrance.

Keuken is zeer zeer goed, klassiek met twist. Bediening is top, iedereen super gastvrij en kundig tot en met de eigenaar die persoonlijk zijn gasten welkom komt heten. Hier weten ze wat gastbeleving is. Ambiance is heerlijk en wij konden fijn buiten zitten, een oase van rust. Fijne plek om af te spreken omdat je snel op de snelweg zit maar dat totaal niet merkt. Als je een centrale plek zoekt om af te spreken zoek niet verder.

Eind april hebben wij hier ons 25-jarig huwelijksjubileum gevierd. Een gedenkwaardige middag! Raymond en Lisanne en hun team hebben ons, ondanks de grootte van de groep, enorm in de watten gelegd. Het restaurant was feestelijk versierd, de organisatie klopte als een bus, aan alles was gedacht. Het eten was buitengewoon lekker! Alleen maar positieve reacties gehad. Een juweeltje! Dank Lisanne en Raymond!!

Had a wonderful meal tonight at De Watermolen in Velp on the occasion of our grandfather's 90th birthday. What a beautiful location with a warm and atmospheric atmosphere! The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel really welcome. The food was of high class and full of flavour. An evening not to forget. Definitely recommended!

Food is amazing and service is quick and thoughtful. There are some reviews talking about pricing, these are not justified. The restaurant was completely full when we were here and my girlfriend thought it was fine, I found it a little too loud for my liking but I am used to smaller restaurants with ± 20-people capacity.

Fantastic restaurant both the food and the service, the service and the warm nice feeling. Really recommended.

Delicious food. 5 courses with matching wines. Recommended!

We chose a 4 course menu and it was delicious again. The matching wines were also excellent.

Amazing experience, lovely & tasty menu. Exactly what you'd expect: Michelin awarded culinary feast 🥰

Great restaurant! Delicious food, top service and super friendly staff! Had a great evening!

Intimate place with very good taste and good service. Well-prepared menu and good attention from the chef who gave us a good presentation of the dish. I loved the final part with the coffee that we could choose the chocolates to accompany it and there was a good wine list for all price points. Well-deserved Michelin stars!

✅ We had 6 course meal and it was great. It was delicious and filling. ✅ Great service. The waiters are attentive even to the speed at which courses are being served. ✅It has a unique ambiance reflective of being a "watermolen" from years past. ✅Parking is right across the street.

We had a delicious meal with nice matching wines. The nice, warm service makes it a great evening.

Remains one of my favorite restaurants. The service and quality of the dishes are excellent. It is certainly not a cheap restaurant, but it is worth it..

Restaurant De Watermolen is highly rated and rightly so. The dishes were delicious, the service was fantastic and the restaurant is beautifully and attractively decorated. Compliments to the chef!

Tonight we enjoyed appetizers, delicious wines, 4 courses of top quality dishes and the expertise and enthusiasm of our 2 hosts. Recommended and will be back soon!

Atmospheric classic restaurant with pleasant and knowledgeable staff and very tasty food

Very good food, service is great and knows what is being served.

We had a fantastic experience here on 07.12. Friendly staff, delicious food, great wine pairings and an overall delightful experience. The menu is varied and interesting. To be honest, I can't fault it at all.

Thursday night dinner with friends 7-11.30 pm. We had an elaborate dinner. The food is well prepared, a bit "special" to my taste. Included a choice of amuses-bouche. The beef carpaccio was excellent, the meat from local animals melting on your tongue, and a good quantity at that. So were the snails (escargots) at 19,5€ for half a dozen. The main dish, game, was a bit disappointing, both in tenderness and quantity , especially in view of its price. We had a taste of oisters in between dishes, sharing half a dozen together, which were of an excellent quality, firm and fresh, rather overpriced, though. Ending with a good choice of interesting cheeses. Interesting wine list, but again, $$$. Typical for the development of the dutch up-market restaurants: trying to find a way in more and more complicated dishes at too high prices. Prefer to have dinner in France or Gremany. Not to forget: the young staff was friendly and patient with us, as we were overstaying the closing hour. We had a nice evening, but at 700€ for 3, not a favourable price/performance ratio.

Shared a great dinner with my wife on a Monday night! Service and value for money was spot on! Recommend this classic restaurant to anyone. It never disappoints. Raymond and his staff are great hosts.

Had a wonderful evening with 6 people. The food was excellent, with delicious wines and a nice whiskey to finish. The service is very friendly and correct. The Christmas decorations and the round table made it extra cozy. Highly recommended for an evening of delicious food in a good atmosphere

Wat een heerlijke “wildavond” hebben wij dit keer mogen ervaren, chapeau! Ik lust geen wild en kreeg een alternatief menu aangeboden, heerlijk.

What a wonderful evening we had. The food was delicious, but the most special thing was how much attention was paid to the physical health of one of us. This made this evening feasible for our group and that is priceless. If you want a high-quality restaurant with a casual atmosphere, this is highly recommended.

Been there multiple times, and love every moment of it

Fantastic food, attentive and friendly service, in short, a classy restaurant. Dishes are beautifully balanced and well prepared, the chef walks through the restaurant himself and talks to the guests, but all the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. We had a wonderful evening, price-quality ratio is also excellent.

Had a great evening, it was just a wonderful evening out

Great experience. Eating out in a fancy style for the first time and what an experience. Great place, cozy atmosphere, delicious food and very friendly and knowledgeable service. Great evening!

What a foodie, wouldn't want to be caught dead.

Nice restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. Delicious dishes.

Top service, goede uitleg. Attente eigenaar. Geslaagde jubileum gevierd met mijn echtgenoot in dit restaurant. Lekker eten de combinatie van de gerechten zijn perfect. Aanrader

The food is fantastic, rarely eaten so well in a restaurant. Even delicious fresh vegetables… highly recommended

Best restaurant in Velp and surrounding areas

A green oasis! Hidden in the greenery is a beautiful garden where you can eat. Extremely attentive and nice staff. The food is great and the wine list has nice wines. We would love to come back here.

Yesterday we once again had the pleasure of dining at the Watermolen. The evening started perfectly with the beautiful ambiance that radiates a soothing and luxurious atmosphere. We were welcomed by the more than hospitable staff, who immediately made us feel at home. The dinner itself was a true culinary experience. Each dish was a taste sensation in itself, perfectly matched. From the starter to the main course, every moment was a delight. We didn't get around to a desert because we got more than enough per course. The chef's attention to detail and passion were clearly palpable. All in all, it was another unforgettable evening at the Watermolen, a place that surprises and delights every time. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

Heerlijk gegeten hier, we kozen het 5 gangen menu. Mooie gerechten met fijne smaken. Klassieke gastvrije bediening, precies goed. We doen t af en toe, een restaurant met BIB vermelding. Qua inrichting is het klassiek, je ziet elementen van de oude molen. Kan een verfrissing gebruiken qua aankleding, daarentegen is het eten en team is echt top. En dat is FIJN!

Almost great. Good operation on the easy side. Almost casual, not strict.

Had a lovely dinner last night at the water mill. beautiful location and very attractively decorated inside. The food is fantastic! the service is very hospitable and the explanation of the dishes makes it complete. The second time we had dinner here and it was again a party.

Delicious dinner tonight at the Watermolen in Velp. First of all, a beautiful location in the center of Velp. Very idyllic. And the care is also excellent. First we sat by the fireplace and then we were surprised at the table with delicious dishes. A real asset

This is absolutely a pearl of a restaurant in the eastern part of The Netherlands. The food is perfect; incredibly high quality, but also decent portions. The service was attentive without being intrusive. The restaurant itself is charming: old fashioned in style, but cosy and well appointed.

Fantastic Very tasty Friendly staff The only downside is the choice in the menu combinations

Had a fantastic evening together, delicious food and very hospitable! Even a small gift because we are expecting, this is everything you expect from a good restaurant. We would love to come back again!

Heerlijke lunch: 3 gangen BiB menu aangevuld met kaas afgesloten met dessert, vergezeld door wijn arrangement. Zeer vriendelijke en vakkundige bediening in mooie ontspannen ambiance. Uiteindelijk hadden we maar 2 vragen: Waarom waren we hier niet eerder? Wanneer gaan we weer?

Great food, great drinks and the service is best of all! What a night!

Always wonderful here, for work meetings or privately, it doesn't matter. 5 stars for the fantastic food, service and atmosphere. It just doesn't matter what you order; it's always delicious. Bye!

Excellent, surprising and tasty food and service that was very functional and did not stand out. Thanks for that.

The atmosphere was magical, the misty view of the cascading mill upon arrival, the entrance over the bridge, luxurious service where the hosts always did their best to make you feel special. But in terms of taste sensations I am not completely satisfied. We all ordered a different three-course menu to taste as many flavors as possible and although it all looked fantastic, I did not like the palette of flavors that we received. The gorgonzola in the asparagus soup and the risotto, which was too heavy with cheese for me, were not tasty. By the way, the host indicated that it was possible to recreate the soup without the blue cheese... which again speaks for service. I thought the 3 amuse-bouches were all really tasty and of a high standard... both in terms of presentation and taste explosion... compliments. Too bad this high line didn't continue...

I thoroughly enjoyed the 7 course dinner in peace and quiet, it seemed like it would never end! The service was polite and the explanation of the dishes was knowledgeable.

It was quite a cozy ambience. I loved it, the food, the services it was just amazing.

Attentive friendly service and delicious food.

Very friendly welcome. Every dish is a positive surprise. Beautiful wines, calm, understandable explanations of dishes and wines. Don't forget the house chocolates, you can choose the flavors. Definitely come back again.

Our favorite restaurant in the Netherlands, here everything is as it should be. Service so that you are pampered to the fullest, tastiest food, perfect wines and an extremely cozy atmosphere in a beautiful location.

We hebben met kerst een heerlijk 4 gangen thuis diner gehad. Compliment aan de Chef en iedereen die dit mogelijk maakte. In de watermolen is natuurlijk het aller lekkerste dan ben je echt uit, maar dit was een heerlijk alternatief. Ben en mieke vleeming

Weer uitstekend gegeten bij De Watermolen. De ravioli met kreeft en nog wat andere lekkere ingrediënten is een aanrader. Komen er nog een keer terug.

Het eten is een waar feest. De bediening enorm bekwaam en super vriendelijk. Je wordt echt in de watten gelegd. Kortom geweldig!!

Place to go for fine dining at a fair price. Look for special events like the game menu or wine tasting.

Een geweldige avond gehad. Niet alleen de gerechten van het 7 (werden er 8) menu met de perfect aansluitende zeer verrassende wijnen was top maar zeer zeker ook de gastvrijheid, bediening, goed geplande pauzes enz. Een werkelijk culinair feestje!!!!!!!!!!!! .

Een geweldige avond gehad met mijn partner. Het eten is voortreffelijk, bijzonder en creatief gepresenteerd. De service is echt top, zeer vriendelijk personeel. Mochten wij weer in de buurt zijn gaan we graag weer een keer langs.

Top restaurant met uitstekende service en kwaliteit.

Das Restaurant ist eine absolute Empfehlung regional als auch überregional. In Schlagdistanz zum Oberzentrum Arnhem, liegt die alte Wassermühle im kleinen Ort Velp. Die Jahrelangen Auszeichnungen im Guide Michelin merkt man in der Speisenqualität, handwerklichkeit, Geschmack und Service. Wir hatten das 4-Gänge Menü plus 3 Amuse-Bouche. Kreativität und Kulinarik waren exzellent. Das ganze für gute 50 Euro p. P. Nicht umsonst mit dem Bib-Gourmand ausgezeichnet. Die marinierten Oliven und Mandeln vorab waren übrigens die besten die ich jemals essen dufte. Kann man die bei euch bestellen? Wer in der Nähe ist, vorher einen Tisch reservieren und die kulinarische Reise mitgehen. Karte ist auf Niederländisch. Das Personal spricht aber auch hervorragendes Englisch. Wir kommen wieder!

Very Interesting restaurant as old mill. Wines are perfect. Service and quality of food is excellent.

Fantastisch restaurant. Lekker eten, zeer goede bediening, mooie locatie. We komen zeker terug.

Restaurant de Watermolen is a fine dining restaurant. Its soft ambiance and artful lighting create a perfect setting for a wonderful evening out. The menu features a variety of exquisite dishes. I had the caviar (a must try) and the salmon-prawn as a shared starter - both exceptional!!! For my main, I had the fish of the day, a testament to the kitchen's commitment to freshness and expertise. The chef's talent shines in every dish. My friend had the tournedos, and was just as delighted as I was! The service is beyond reproach. The staff are incredibly attentive and fulfill every request with genuine kindness. The atmosphere in the restaurant is also superb. Thanks to the amazing staff but mostly to the chef who gave us pure joy with every bite. As to the bill, it was very reasonable. Quality is outstanding!

Na een tip van Boutiquehotel Beekhuizen aten wij hier ter gelegenheid van mijn mans 65e verjaardag. Heel vriendelijke en professionele medewerkers, grote keuze uit heerlijke gerechten, goede huiswijn, veel persoonlijke aandacht en als kers op de taart een felicitatie en bakje ‘eigen’ olijven als cadeautje mee. In een bijzondere ambiance. Dank voor de mooie avond! Tip: nog een bonbon of iets bij de afsluitende koffie/thee.

Lekker degustatiemenu Super bediening ! Enkel waren pasten sommige uitgesproken kruiden niet bij alle gerechten De hoofdschotel was nogal rommelig en niet aantrekkelijk We zijn ook allebei ziek geweest van het hele gedoe Misschien een te warme dag ! Ale bij al was prijs/kwaliteit wel ok

Was für ein magischer Ort, was für eine fantastische Küche! Das Restaurant ist seit Jahrzehnten familiär geführt, und die Liebe und das Herzblut sind sofort spürbar. Die Küche kocht eindeutig auf Sterne-Niveau - und das zu einem absolut fairen Preis. Wir haben hier einen wunderschönen Abend verbracht und werden definitiv wiederkommen.

We love coming here, it never disappoints. Lovely food, staff has good knowledge and is very kind.

Voortreffelijk gegeten, bediening super vriendelijk en weten goed in te spelen hoe de sfeer aan tafel is!! Kortom Top!!!

Schitterende ambiance, lekker eten en goede service!

Gastronomic dining in a medieval setting...warm but professional hospitality, good wine and excellent food. Good value for money.

Hele leuke ervaring bij de Watermolen (4 gangen). Goed rekening gehouden met zwangerschap, inclusief leuke drankjes. De gerechten waren afwisselend en van hoog niveau, de bijpassende wijn klopte. De porties waren ook ruim, wat je niet altijd gewend bent van een restaurant met dit niveau. De bediening was uitstekend, attent en vriendelijk. Als je in de buurt bent zou ik deze tent niet overslaan!

Heerlijk bib gourmand 3 gangen menu gehad in dit leuke restaurant met gezellig interieur en een uitstekende service!

Gisteren voor het eerst in de Watermolen geweest. Uitgenodigd door vrienden en we hebben een fantastische avond gehad. Een warm welkom door de gastheer en de crew. Heerlijke amuses en genoten van een 5 gangen diner. Franse keuken met een moderne twist. Lekkere bijpassende wijnen. Aanrader.

Geweldig restaurant, Alles klopt hier! Service en de kwaliteit van het eten staan hier hoog in het vaandel.

Wij hebben heerlijk gegeten. Het begon al met 3 amuses : leuk gepresenteerd en erg lekker. De verschillende gerechten die wij aten waren mooi opgemaakt en zeer smakelijk. De ontvangst was vriendelijk , werden bij de deur welkom geheten en onze jassen aangenomen. De eigenaar was ook vriendelijk en attent. Een minpunt was dat wij wat " verloren" weg gingen. Mijn echtgenoot en ik liepen wat raar en alleen naar de hal en na onze jas te hebben aangedaan ook alleen naar buiten. Wellicht aan de aandacht ontsnapt?

Great restaurant. Very much recommend it, especially for a special situation! Food is amazing and the service as well. Waiters are extremely friendly and attentive, while the restaurant itself is very cozy and has a great vibe.

Genoten van het gastronomisch gangendiner!

Fijn aan ronde tafel gezeten, eten prima en bediening! Wij komen zeker terug 👌

Gewoon een erg goed restaurant met erg lekker eten en vlotte bediening. Staat terecht erg goed bekend.

Calm, great food and service and great location. For our budget on the expensive side but so worth it that we will definitely come back. Loved it there.

Sfeervol restaurant, genoten van iedere hap, een ware smaakbeleving!

Ziet er erg sfeervol uit. Bediening prima, uitleg,alles goed onder controle Eten Ziet er goed uit en smaakt ook nog fantastisch
