Restaurant Magnolia Rhenen in Wijk 04 Grebbeberg

Had a delicious meal several times. Vegan options are tasty and service was very friendly. Nicely decorated with a cozy warm atmosphere.

We had brunch on Christmas Day and really enjoyed the exclusive salads, delicious fish dishes, tender steaks and mouth-watering dessert. The atmosphere was very nice and even Santa Claus paid attention to all the guests in addition to gifts for the kids. Nothing was too much for the friendly hosts and hostesses to give us a wonderful experience.

We enjoyed the Christmas brunch with the family. What a disappointment. The hot buffet was mainly cold. A huge pile of skewers kept warm by 2 candles. Then it is not surprising that the top skewers are ice cold. Hamburgers? A piece of meat between a bun with 1 lettuce leaf? Where's the tomato, cheese, pickle, etc? You couldn't call this a hamburger. Fries? Also ice cold. Cold buffet? You could call it a frozen buffet. The carpaccio was simply frozen and had no taste. Everything lacked love for the food. Turning mass is apparently more important. On a normal Sunday they charge €34 per person for the same buffet. At Christmas they dared to charge €50 per person. We won't be back.

Geweldig eten in een prachtig restaurant. Ik was niet bekend met het restaurant, ik heb het met 3 vriendinnen heel erg naar mn zin gehad en ik kom zeker terug. Wij hadden al onze gerechten gedeeld en dat beviel heel goed. Ik was uiteindelijk 60 euro per persoon kwijt en wij hebben ons niet ingehouden! En dat is het geld meer dan waard.

We had lunch here. The food is good and the service very friendly.

Wij kunnen ons totaal niet vinden in de laatste 2 recensies. Ze zijn ongelofelijk gastvrij en aardig daar kunnen veel Horeca zaken een voorbeeld aan nemen. We hebben hier vroeger weleens gegeten maar het was altijd matig. Wij zijn echt positief verrast. Mooi opgemaakte borden met uitstekende kwaliteit vers eten. Restaurant is grotendeels gemoderniseerd en je kunt er echt leuk zitten. Echt een aanrader!

Met het eten was niets mis, de bediening komt soms wat afwezig / niet geïnteresseerd over. Wij hebben er 1 x geluncht en 1 x gedineerd beide keren liep het niet soepel. Voorbeeld, we bestelden beiden een nagerecht en de bediening vroeg of wij dat gelijktijdig uitgeserveerd wilden hebben. Uiteraard was onze reactie. Om dat vervolgens dus niet te doen…..

Literally nothing to complain about. Ambience was fine, service smooth, food excellent, price reasonable. We saw previous reviews that had left us in doubt, but we also saw alert and correct responses from the company. It was expected that they would pick up signals. That turned out to be correct. We were there late on a Friday afternoon, probably before the bigger crowds. Saw announcements of Christmas brunch and dinner dance! We will definitely come there more often. Compliments! (and parking in front of the door was also great).

The carrot cake is delicious! Breakfast, lunch and dinner were delicious and especially thanks to the nice staff. A small comment about the venison steak was resolved very nicely. That's how it should be!

Good food, but that's about it! Our table was not yet set, so we sat outside to wait at the request of the staff. The table was set with 6 wine glasses while the staff could see that there were 2 children there. Ordered a drink and a snack, apple juice for a child came in a wine glass, why? Bittergarnituur took at least 30 minutes, if we had known this we would have immediately ordered food instead of a snack. It was cold, other guests had closed the conservatory door, but the staff did not allow it. The door was only opened wider. It was cold outside and not very warm inside. We received the menu (6 pieces) but 5 year old children cannot read? We had to ask for the children's menu and pencils ourselves. So bad!! Questions about the map were not answered properly and in the end we just chose something. In the end we indicated that we wanted to order, then we saw the dessert menu, but we quickly went to pay because it takes a really long time and the service is really bad! Too bad, because it looks neat and inviting on the website. We prefer to go to another restaurant in the area when we come from the zoo.

Great tent. Helped quickly Nice staff.

The greeting "Have we made a reservation?" and the following "you can order, but it will take a long time because you are coming here with a group (6 people). "We are only here for a drink" (on the terrace) was what the waiter thought. Apparently too much work and referred us to the King of Denmark just down the road. That was a good tip, great restaurant!

Hebben "wij" gereserveerd is een geweldige begroeting. Gelijk er aan toe voegen dat we (6 pers) er,omdat we een grote groep zijn, waarschijnlijk lang op moeten wachten was ook gelijk de uitsmijter....

Had a delicious lunch on the Grebbeberg. We regularly have lunch in Magnolia. The lunch menu offers plenty of choice and the food always tastes good. The price-quality ratio is correct. Sometimes you have to wait a while, because, like many other businesses, there is a lack of staff, but the service is very friendly. There are two terraces, at least one of which is non-smoking. A big plus for us. The restaurant was recently renovated and looks attractive on the inside. The toilets are always tidy. Also nice!

Smoke-free terrace lovely 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Nice atmosphere throughout the entire area. The terrace has parasols and traffic passing by doesn't bother you. You feel just as comfortable in the restaurant. Overall very nice. The selection of dishes is manageable and the portion sizes are clear.

Me and my partner like to come here for a cup of coffee. The coffee is very tasty. Sometimes we also take away some snacks. We also had lunch once. That was really bad, which is why we would rather not order food here anymore. The environment is pleasant to sit in. However, we believe that the service takes far too long to arrive, which is a great annoyance. I don't understand why some customers are helped immediately and some are skipped up to six times. Not only did we notice this, but other customers did too. The operation also leaves much to be desired. Especially an older man with glasses serving. Not at all hospitable and comes across as derogatory. A young girl with blond hair is friendly/hospitable and right there. In conclusion, it sometimes seems as if you do not want to generate extra turnover. I don't understand why you as a manager don't do something with this. And again, we hear other customers complaining too... Every little snack seems to me to contribute to turnover/profit. Apparently the restaurant is doing very well. We won't be back again.

Great service, great place and great food! Wow what a great restaurant. Recommended

A few weeks after I posted this review, the person who arranged our dinner there received a letter of apology and compensation for the inconvenience. It remains a pity from the day in question to this is neat. Restaurant looks cozy. That's where it ends. Inedible tough veal steak. After reporting this, the plates were taken away without saying anything. After a while the waitress came and said that we could have a USA steak as an alternative. Two people had fish that was mediocre to okay and that was not taken so that 2 people had finished eating and 3 still had nothing. The additional fries and vegetables we ordered were also cold 2 replacement steaks were not medium, as ordered, but completely raw and therefore returned untouched. We had to ask for the cold vegetables and fries to be replaced We decided not to have a desert and coffee again. The service was indifferent and unfriendly. We will never come back here again

After waiting almost half an hour for drinks, we reported to the waitress that we were still waiting. She took our lunch order. Another fifteen minutes passed and everyone around us got their orders. We left. Busyness is understandable, but this is ridiculous.

Sometimes there are addresses where you would like to come back again. For us, Restaurant Magnolia is such an address! Beautifully situated in the green on the Grebbeberg. And yet also, actually always, in the realization that national history is never far away here. The welcome is warm and personal. We have been counted on! We eat in the attractively decorated conservatory. The arrangement is such that we have a view over the terrace, the greenery and the striking Grebbeweg. We opt for Shared Dining, but the dishes can also be ordered à la carte. The dishes were very tasty and beautifully presented! A truly festive treat! Magnolia is a hotel restaurant. The advantage is that you benefit from the hotel facilities: spacious toilet facilities, wide corridors, extra information about the region and a high level of service. All this makes Restaurant Magnolia an address for us that we would like to return to when we are in beautiful Rhenen.

Heerlijk gedineerd in dit restaurant in Rhenen. Vaak langsgereden, maar nog nooit binnen geweest. Het heeft ons verrast! De bediening was erg vriendelijk en spontaan, het eten heerlijk, voldoende en mooi opgediend. Het restaurant is sfeervol (wij zaten in de serre). Kortom wij hebben een geslaagde avond gehad!

Cozy and good hotel Tasty food and friendly staff

Heerlijke nacht in hotel en super ontbijt, lunch en diner. Interessante en verrassende menukaart maar "eggs any style" zijn ook gewoon een uitsmijter. En redelijke prijzen. Goed uitgangspunt voor Grebbeberg boswandeling.

Geweldig culinair en gastvrij! We hebben mooie verassende gerechten gegeten. De bediening was ook erg fijn en goed. Het shared dining concept is een aanrader!

Super, delicious!! Highly recommended!!!!!!

Voor het eerst in dit restaurant gegeten en het was echt een openbaring! Goede ontvangst en een uitstekend diner daar gegeten! De geserveerde items waren echt verrassend en heerlijk bereid! Echt een aanrader om daar nog eens een bezoek te brengen voor een redelijke prijs!

Lovely terrace to enjoy the spring sun. The poke bowl was very tasty, but the quantity was far too little…

After a nasty experience last year, we were invited for lunch, what a wonderful experience now...Delicious food and a warm welcome, we will definitely be back Thank you very much Bruins family.

Atmospheric restaurant with friendly service who apologized several times for the mistake made in the kitchen. The result, however, was that it took us 3 hours to prepare a starter and main course. Food was tasty, but certainly not warm anymore. Feeling like it has been standing for a while.

Very tasty meal in an attractive restaurant. Service is very friendly and helpful

Nice and good restaurant in Rhenen, close to Ouwehands Zoo, so easy to combine with a day at Ouwehands! What struck me about Magnolia was the attention to detail and the hospitality of the staff. It was my girlfriend's birthday and I had indicated this. They had taken this into account by hanging streamers and serving the well-known fireworks fountain with dessert. All in all a nice restaurant, definitely recommended if you are in the area or if you want to end a day in Ouwehands in a nice way ;-)

Delicious food, nice atmosphere and atmosphere. I think the concept is that you order portions/bites to share. Only it was just too little to share.

Both starters were not tasty, one very bland, the other too much sauce. Main courses were not spectacular, it seemed like everything was already ready, but unfortunately you got it quickly. Missed opportunity with such a beautiful menu if it is not prepared properly. It was very hot there.

Delicious food. Service is very friendly. It was just very hot in the restaurant, but that seems to be the new normal these days.

Delicious cappuccino with an even tastier piece of cake. View from the conservatory and the chairs are comfortable. Friendly staff.

The lunch dishes are tasty but minimally executed. No butter for bread with croquettes, etc.

Attractive restaurant with delicious dishes

Goeie vega mogelijkheden, super goeie koffie..fijn terras

Super nice place to have a coffee 🙂

You feel very welcome, wide choice, tastes delicious and friendly staff

Delicious food, value for money. Service is friendly but still a bit awkward.

We came here for a nice drink and to warm up after a nice walk. Really nicely decorated inside, a bit like a jungle. Service unfortunately less good, waited 45 minutes for two drinks.

Good quality. Asian style salmon and boneless chicken were great!

Nice restaurant with pleasant staff. Menu is nice with great variety in choices. Dishes are good size and most of great taste. The vegetarian dishes can be better, but it is part matter of taste. The aubergine/egg plant was with a bit too much miso and the pastinaak was a bit too flat in taste. All in all very nice dinner in great restaurant.

Afgelopen weekend hier gegeten toen we in het bijbehorende hotel verbleven. Eerst in de woonkamer een borrelplankje besteld. Een zeer karig plankje voor maar liefst 15 euro 50. Tijdens het diner had ik de eendeborst besteld. Een paar hele kleine stukjes vlees waar met het mes al haast niet doorheen te komen was zo taai. De side dishes waren ook erg karig en moeten allemaal bijbesteld worden. De bediening was vriendelijk en de voorgerechten waren heerlijk. Maar uiteindelijk met bijna lege maag weer naar de kamer gegaan. Men probeert hier zo weinig mogelijk te verkopen voor zoveel mogelijk geld. Jammer.

Fantastisch voor 16 personen een diner reserveren bestaande uit allemaal hapjes met een reservering 1 uur vantevoren is geweldig. Inspelen op bijzondere wensen kon ook nog. Met leuke verrassingen. Ook de 2de keer nu met 3 personen was wederom weer geweldig.

Hoort bij Hotel het Paviljoen. Prettig hotel om vandaaruit te wandelen op de Grebbeberg. Mooie 1 persoonskamers met alles erop en eraan. Het restaurant is uitstekend.

Eten was koud. Bediening duurt lang .dan het eten op .word niet gevraagd om een toetje. hier is de rekening op roten. Wat een tent .ga er niet heen .zonde van je geld

Heerlijk eten, super vriendelijk personeel. Traag met drinken aanbieden. Prijzen erg hoog. Prachtige aankleding interieur.

Leuk en attent personeel, bediening is goed. Smakelijk gegeten.

Na wandeling over de Grebbeberg, uitzicht over de Rijn en bezoek ereveld, tijd voor een lunch. Twaalf uurtje smaakte prima.

Fijne plek om te eten, of om koffie te drinken. Top klasse gebak, heel goede keuken en prettige, beetje sjieke sfeer. Buiten op de twee terrassen is het ook heerlijk zitten. Fijn dat ons hondje dan ook mee kan.

Gereserveerd voor een lunch. Er was een fijne tafel voor ons gedekt. Op de ontvangst en bediening valt niets verkeerds aan te merken, vriendelijk en deskundig. O.a. genoten van een perfecte Ceasar Salad, een voorbeeld voor menig restaurant! Het is een gelegenheid waar wij graag weer terug willen komen.

Mooi aangekleed lekkere smoothies en cakjes.

Heerlijk gegeten. De sfeer is goed en de bediening erg klantvriendelijk. Fijn avondje uit.

We hebben een heerlijke cappuccino gedronken. En het mooie is dat ik ook een cappuccino kon drinken. Deze cappuccino was met havermelk. Top dat er ook rekening gehouden wordt met intolerantie. Echt een aanrader.

Ben hier al geregeld geweest en het is nog steeds prima in al die jaren

Niet te druk, vriendelijke bediening en lekkere koffie met appeltaart.

De garnalen kroketten van Holtkamp zijn onweerstaanbaar lekker, maakt niet uit waar je ze tegenkomt. Geserveerd met vers desembrood en mayonaise. Zeer vriendelijke en attente bediening. Honden toegestaan op het terras. Wij hebben genoten.

Koffie gedronken, heel lekkere sterke verse koffie!

Top locatie (naast de dierentuin) met een fijne sfeer. Tafeltjes hebben wat ruimte, je zit niet zo op elkaar geprakt. Het eten is onwijs lekker voor een redelijke prijs. Bediening was TOP, zo zou het overal moeten zijn.

Top gerechten! Heel sfeervol serre restaurant en prima bediening.

Prima sfeervolle gelegenheid goed voor een drankje en heerlijk eten.

Heerlijke lunch, uiterst vriendelijk bediening.

Redelijk gegeten. Risotto was ok, niet heel bijzonder. Dessert, Tarte Tartin met kaneelijs, was erg lekker. Personeel is snel en behulpzaam.

Erg leuk, erg lekker eten. Leuke variant van Dame Blanche

Heerlijk gegeten en ziet er gezellig uit. Het eten had iets meer aangekleed mogen worden. Beetje aan de kale kant. Maar wel lekker.

Ik had de het hamburger menu besteld wat qua presentatie wat tegen viel. Op een broodplank werd het geserveerd. Als je de sfeer en ambiance ziet verwacht je er iets meer van. Een luxe tosi op een broodplank vind ik wel kunnen maar een broodje hamburger niet. Meer een mooi stoer bord met wat tomaat en sla wst saus ernaast en dan de hamburger er bij.

Gevarieerde lunchkaart. Sympathieke bediening. Leuke inrichting.

Super genoten, diner op 2 e kerstdag totaal anders mee maken geweldig

My rate: 9/10. They have a good wine list which is not crazy expensive as it's almost all under €30. Staff were friendly and charming. The ambience was pretty and cozy. We followed their share dinning concept. The mixed salad and sweet potatoes were tasty. Both beef and chicken skewers were fine. Beef dishes were perfectly cooked and delicious. No complaints. Desserts were fine too. Good job! Highly recommended!

Most exquisite dishes. Perfect varieties and combinations of cold and warm dishes, from fish to meant and of course vegetarian. The restaurant is amazingly renovated with warm inviting colors and the staff is kind and genuine. The Serra has an amazing light towards the woods and the dining room inside is warm and welcoming with the decor and ambience.

Sfeervol restaurant, heerlijk geluncht (royale porties). Vriendelijke bediening.
