Restaurant Onze Kerk in Wijk 05 Hooge Zwaluwe

Delicious food, friendly, knowledgeable service in a beautiful location.

We were sitting with 3 people on the terrace, in the sun. We had a particularly delicious meal. Reservations are advisable. The restaurant was quite full. The food is quite expensive.

Last Saturday, with the beautiful weather, we sat outside on the terrace and enjoyed a delicious lunch. The service is very friendly and was ready to make it to our liking. It was so relaxed that we stayed until 16:30. The last time I was with you, somewhere in March with friends, we had dinner in the church. We also enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and the service then. I will definitely come back to you to enjoy. So I also give you a 10! Kind regards, Marlou

Had lunch with friends in church. Very satisfied had the lunch board very good. What a surprise was the service, people with a disability they did their best and they did it very well. Endearing to see the patience and love as the team deals with it. Great, Chapeau. Warm greetings, Elly Stolk.

The red wine was too warm. Very friendly staff and a beautiful terrace but also inside the church it is beautiful

We had a really nice lunch. The location was great and I also really like the interior, that industrial look. The food was delicious and the service was fast and friendly, even though it was very busy. We will definitely come back!

Great location, good and fast service for groups. Very friendly staff, good food

Steak from 4 course menu very tough. Can't get through. Waited more than half an hour for dessert. Just left. Was a huge disappointment to celebrate our 58th anniversary. Too bad

Great ambiance, very friendly service and excellent food! And on the bill a sweet handwritten note from the service! Keep up the good work!

It's great that you can still see that it used to be a church. Everything breathes peace! You automatically start talking a little softer!

Delicious food in a beautifully maintained atmosphere, highly recommended

We went to eat with our daughter yesterday in this beautiful church. There are still many authentic elements to be found in the church. We chose a 4-course dinner. The starter consisted of a plank with courgette soup, carpaccio, pita bread with lamb and special tortilla chips with guacamole. A delicious fish in between. The main course was a fillet steak in wine sauce which tasted deliciously tender. Dessert consisted of a plank with strawberry mousse, crème brûlée and cream pastry plus an ice cream scoop. There was enough time between the courses. Unfortunately, we do not live nearby otherwise we would definitely come back more often.

I don't often give a maximum score but everything surrounding our "dinner" on the occasion of my wife's 60th birthday was really arranged down to the last detail, which made the planned surprise come into its own. We all had a delicious meal and enjoyed it, the requested adjustments to the menu went smoothly and the service was great! Thanks to everyone who made this possible in this beautiful location.

Had dinner with friends at your place last night and what an experience…great to see how this beautiful church has been turned into a restaurant. The staff is super friendly and there are enough people walking around who speak to you in a friendly way. The tomato soup was delicious and the carpaccio was good but a bit too warm…furthermore the meat dish of the day was delicious and the tournedos melted on your tongue so tender…for dessert the four of us ordered a platter with sweet treats for 2 people so that the four of us could enjoy it together…with a delicious cup of tea and coffee we ended the evening with you…we will definitely come back!

Very atmospheric, unique location. Food was delicious and very friendly staff. An experience!

What a beautiful location! We have eaten in converted church buildings before and this is by far the most beautiful. Many authentic elements have been preserved, such as the pulpit and the organ. The building alone is worth a visit. We chose to be surprised with the 5-course menu. One of us eats gluten-free and that was no problem. For the starter, dessert and cheese board we were given a shared board with a number of dishes adapted. The fish and meat were delicious. The garnishes... meh... fries that were a bit limp, very sweet mayonnaise and a couscous salad that came straight from the refrigerator. I always look forward to the cheese board; as far as I'm concerned, the icing on the cake. Unfortunately it was all hard cheese straight from the fridge. There is still room for improvement. All in all; in terms of location, absolutely worth a visit. In terms of food... I wouldn't go for the 5 courses. The meat board that the neighbors had looked very tasty.

We would like to give a big 10. Very nice place and very tasty food. Opted for the lunch platter with extra delicious fries. The prices are also very good!! The service was very good, fast and very friendly. We will definitely come back more often. It was our 1st visit. Unfortunately, we should have done this earlier :) Keep it up!!

Beautiful location, friendly staff and good food!!!

Nice staff, delicious ice cream and super interesting building for a restaurant :) All in all highly recommended!

What a beautiful setting this restaurant has. Enjoyed a cup of coffee on the terrace. Very friendly staff. The restaurant adheres to great values ​​as described in the menu. Working together with charities. Going for honest products and giving people at a disadvantage in our society a chance to shine. Beautiful. Where else do you see that?

An ultimate taste experience in a special location.

Delicious lunch in beautiful surroundings with great service

Our Church is a restaurant with a beautiful ambiance. The church of Hooge Zwaluwe has been converted into an impressive restaurant with a beautiful bar and an open kitchen, while retaining authentic details. The terrace at the front is also recommended when the weather is nice. Culinarily it doesn't mean much. The dishes on the menu are not very innovative, the presentation of the food is a bit messy (many shelves). The platter of starters was tasty (lentil soup with djintan, salmon with fennel, flatbread with soy beans and ricotta and a piece of plate cake with pumpkin and feta), but the plate cake was a bit dry. As an entree, a batter-coated and deep-fried red mullet. Again tasty, but an addition of ravigote or other sauce would probably have done the dish well. And it feels a bit of a shame to see such a tasty red mullet disguised as a gourmet. The main course was a piece of pork covered in pancetta on a slightly watery polenta. Good tender meat, yes. The dessert platter consisted of a bit of flat pistachio ice cream, delicious chocolate mousse with a sticky mini ice cream cone, an excellent pannacotta with berry sauce and a dry piece of cheesecake. The service is enthusiastic, caring and friendly, but the waiting time between dishes is a bit long. Price-quality, in my opinion, not quite as expected.

Very nice restaurant and delicious food.

What a fantastic location! The food was really delicious and fresh. The service is very friendly. Highly recommended!

Enjoyed the church platter with a friend - a delicious lunch served in a fun way! Our hostess was very friendly and the service was excellent. The coffee tasted delicious and enjoyed a good wine! It's also great that you prepare the dishes with regional products! A big ten from both of us ☺️

We had a very nice meal and the hostess and staff were very friendly

Enjoyed the 3-course surprise menu. The service is spontaneous and very friendly,

What a great place! This is now my second visit, and the restaurant exceeds my expectations every time. The atmosphere is great, the decoration is attractive and the food is delicious. What really stands out is the service. The hosts and hostesses make the difference - Danielle in particular deserves a special mention. Her spontaneity and 'nothing is too difficult' attitude create a hospitable atmosphere where you immediately feel at home. Lunch at Onze Kerk is really an excellent choice. What sets them apart from other restaurants is their own variation on the classic 'twelve o'clock'. Instead of offering a fixed dish, you can put together your own board exactly the way you want it. Whether you fancy a hearty Farmer's sandwich with a traditional beef croquette or would rather have some fries, there are many options available at Onze Kerk. We will definitely come here again soon!

Beautiful church. We sat inside, very friendly staff and delicious food. Highly recommended! We will definitely come back.

Take your time, enjoy and relax the food, the entourage and the enthusiasm of the staff. The concept is as solid as a church. Don't change anything, the right audience knows how to find you and always appreciate you

Beautiful place. Friendly and sweet staff. Warm welcome and quick service. It was Thai evening and we were with 2 people. All dishes on the menu (this was a set menu) were delicious. The spring roll of the starter and the Tom Kha Kai soup were really delicious! I did expect that the other dishes would have been a bit more spicy, but perhaps it is too spicy or spicy for other people. All in all a good experience and we would like to come back for a different taste experience.

Great location, warm and helpful staff and heart-warming guidance. Good atmosphere and delicious food.

Nice location for lunch. I was not surprised by the food. I had a fish salad, I asked without beets but that didn't work. The capers mentioned on the menu were missing. It was more lettuce and beet than fish.

Simply a gem of a catering establishment. Extensive and carefully composed menu as well as an excellent drink selection. Atmospheric ambiance in a former church building. The staff is extremely customer-friendly, hospitable and also very professional. Suitable for all kinds of occasions. Extensive opening hours. Many facilities available. Wheelchair accessible and parking spaces nearby and free. Dogs - provided they are on a leash - are allowed. Enjoy with a capital G. This is an absolute must to visit.

What a special restaurant, in a church. We sat outside on the terrace and enjoyed a cup of coffee and delicious apple pie with whipped cream. Service is very nice. Definitely a place to have dinner. A return!

Hello, We had a delicious meal again yesterday March 2, 2025, can't wait for the next time! There are no points for improvement, it's perfect the way everyone works for you, everyone is super nice👌 Kind regards, We visited you last Saturday, June 22, for my mother's 80th birthday to have a nice lunch there, and.....we will definitely come back, we had a really good meal, the staff were all very friendly/nice, which for us also means that they enjoy their work. And what a beautiful location to have lunch in👌 My mother thought it was a very nice surprise. Next time I will come back with my husband and daughter👍. For now: Until next time Kind regards, Marloes solak akkermans Ps. Went again yesterday, July 7, and just like last time: TOP👌. Until next time🙋🏻‍♀️

Cozy, personable staff and friendly service. Even the chef gave me detailed answers to my requested information about prepared dishes

We really enjoyed your hospitality, friendly and contactable service and the great food. In short, we had a great evening and from our hearts we give a 10 for last night. Thank you.

As far as we're concerned, a big 10!! The location,  the food and above all the friendliness of the staff!! Thank you for this.

After a disappointing booking with BijOns ( Lage Zwaluwe) for a high tea baby shower, I canceled it and called Our Church to see if they could do anything for us…. and yes, what a service, everything arranged at very short notice!!! The table was beautifully set, the food was delicious, beautifully laid out planks with savory to start and sweet to finish. Perfect from A to Z 👌. Friendly staff, nothing is too much. Top business that knows what entrepreneurship means... Happy with it and an unforgettable afternoon for our pregnant daughter!!!

An attractive place where we could have a casual chat while enjoying a delicious lunch.

We had a delicious lunch this afternoon, February 14. All employees did their utmost to make us happy and they are very hospitable. We will definitely come back again. Thank you.

Great atmosphere, church is kept in fairly good condition. Organ still present, kitchen is on the altar. Delicious food!

Great ambiance, super friendly staff, delicious food, just a big 10

We had a super delicious lunch, very nice hospitable service and a delicious dinner in a great atmosphere. Something for everyone, meat, fish and vegetarian. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

Excellent food, Top service, Top location,… Chef's menu is highly recommended We'll be back

We enjoyed the hospitality in "Our Church" and we all had a great time. The food was delicious and everyone thought it was good, fun and enjoyable. And we would also like to compliment "Danielle", our hostess, but certainly also the other staff. And not to forget how you kept us informed by email regarding reservations and the temperature in "Our Church". It is worth repeating!!! Greetings J&D from Hooge Zwaluwe

I had never been there before, but in a word I thought it was great, a big 10 for you and it was also nice to light a candle. And the hostess was great and the message on the bill was so nice.

Great atmosphere, good and delicious food, worth repeating

Very good food and unique experience in the beautiful church. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommended

Take the time to enjoy a wonderful experience here. Because that's what you get when you have lunch here. A delightful experience. Full attention, delicious food and serene ambiance. We will definitely come back here.

Delicious food in a fantastic atmosphere. Definitely worth repeating

Big 10 with a pencil. Warm welcome. Great surroundings, delicious lunch accompanied by good wine. Continue your journey to Geertruidenberg and stay a night at Stadshotel Geertruidenberg. In short, highly recommended and worth repeating.

Extensive choice on the menu. Delicious food. Presentation of the dishes (we all opted for a platter) was great. It is nice to mention parking facilities in advance by email. Mentioning in advance that it might be cold was very good!. Although we certainly weren't cold. Kindly received. Nice and cheerful service. We will definitely come back again. Top top top!

The ambiance was fantastic, yet a note of attention the food was served very quickly the potato puree was quickly cold, we said something about it,, Would you like new ones, we were asked, but because we were already eating, we would have to wait and then the meat would already be cold. Maybe on a warm plate I am writing this on behalf of Joline Franken from Prinsenbeek The service was okay and pleasant, but served very quickly. Next time maybe serve on a hot plate from now on

Dear Dieuwke and Our Church team. We enjoyed the delicious dishes during Christmas lunch. The atmosphere was Brabant cozy. Danielle, our personal hostess, did an excellent job. Hanging up and collecting the coats, wonderfully arranged. For us, this Christmas lunch deserves a big 9. We sincerely thank you for this. We hope to visit Our Church again in the future to enjoy the delicious dishes and the good service and attention given. We wish you and your team a good and healthy 2025.

It was a special experience! What a beautiful location with great attention to details. I've been bawling my eyes out. And also a delicious meal with very friendly staff. Highly recommended and if we are in the area again, we will definitely come again.

We were satisfied with everything, even the temperature in the church, which was warned in advance. In short, very pleasant.

We enjoyed and had a delicious meal. We chose the surprise menu. That was certainly very surprising! And delicious and original. Atmospheric ambiance and very friendly staff. We are very pleased that the dishes are made with regional products and that they are seasonal dishes. We will definitely come back again!

What a lovely warm welcome, delicious lunch, great service. Just a great team.

It was a great experience. Delicious regional products, very nicely prepared. Compliments to the chef and his team! Very nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Very nice that "the church" has remained virtually intact. Service was above expectations. Very personal and friendly. The personal message written on the bill is also very positive. A small gesture but goes a long way! Please keep it up!

I was pleasantly surprised by the great location and atmosphere. Really super cozy. Service and presentation were great and thoughtful. Food was exactly what we expected, with lots of flavor and not too much or too little. Definitely recommended!

Delicious food served by lovely, caring staff in a beautiful location. We will definitely return

Special location with delicious food.

I rate our visit last Wednesday with a 9. The service in particular was excellent and the lunch was very tasty. Regarding the ambiance, for me it was full of memories from the time from 1953 to 1969 when I used to visit the church.

Very hospitable and beautiful place to have a delicious meal!

We had lunch at Our Church with three people. We were very satisfied with the welcome, the atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff. The dishes were delicious and well prepared. It was also nice that we received information in advance about parking and the temperature in the church. All in all a great experience!

If you come here... try the heavenly fries (sweet potatoes, with onion, cheese and truffle mayonnaise) and then have a beer with Tante Nel......

Delicious food, beautiful location. Very attractively decorated and the service was top notch. Will definitely come back again soon.

Nice lunch. We came here prior to another business appointment. Very nice service and a beautiful location. Parking in front of the door. We will definitely come back.

Last Sunday my wife and I had lunch with you with our mother and aunt. We entered a charming setting and were neatly taken to the table. Our 'hostess' was polite and very friendly, just as you would like to see as a guest. The food was served quickly after our drinks, the plates were nicely laid out and the food was tasty. All in all, a great catering establishment and highly recommended!

For a heavenly experience, reserve a table here. Everything is super good, the food, staff and the atmosphere.

Delicious food, super (personal) service/attention to the guests, great location. Had a great evening with food and music.

A unique location where you can enjoy delicious food. The service is also great! Our Church is highly recommended.

For us, my husband and me, a 10, so it was a fantastic experience! Good food, friendly service, what more could it be? So, we will definitely come back. Even though we live in Brecht in Belgium, we like to drive a little further. Rudi and Diane Bosschaerts-Struyf

Beautiful location and delicious food

Nice restaurant in a special building, nice and authentic. It's nice that people with disabilities "take part" in the ministry. It's okay to make a mistake, as the best do. Very service-oriented, recommended! Visited Our Church for the 3rd time today. Once again the service by Danique (hopefully well written). Without disrespecting other employees, top, attentive and she goes out of her way to make everyone happy. Gave her those compliments. This time a different table (for 2 people) and that was not quite great because of the incoming sunshine. "Luckily" the weather changed and it became a great place. Good lunch in a perfect atmosphere.

What a beautiful location, and a delicious lunch, and the service was TOP. We will definitely come back. Greetings Jopie

Beautifully converted Catholic Church, which has integrated all memories of the church attractively and with respect. The food was very tasty and served in a nice way.

Very tasty food in a beautiful location with very nice staff. you can tell that all the staff enjoy their work. TOP

Unique location with great atmosphere and excellent food.

Dear all, We had a delicious lunch with you on September 30, as we are used to. Both the girlfriend and I had already had a delicious lunch with you several times in various company and we both had only positive experiences. Very friendly staff, good quality of the food and especially the personal approach is very pleasant. It always feels relaxed here and you never have the feeling that you are being stared out the door or that you have to hurry up, which is nice. I give you a grade of 9.5 and not 10 to keep everyone motivated to keep the quality that way 😉. Until next time.

Looking forward to the Antillean evening in Our Church. (12/9) Too bad the food this evening did not meet our expectations. A lot of money for a simple starter, a simple tasteless main course and dessert consisting of some pieces of cake.

Fantastic! How often do you find a place with such service and attention to the customer. The vision of this restaurant shines through in all aspects. Well thought out and superbly executed! We will be back!

We thought it was a beautiful location, we have been there twice now for a class.

A nice concept, nice and friendly staff. Great outing and affordable too

Delicious lunch! Lunch tray at our church and it consists of soup, delicious salad and 2 dishes of choice. Nice location and very friendly staff.

Had a wonderful evening on Friday evening with the 9 of us. Great service and staff that gave us a great evening. Delicious local food. Thank you very much!

I give my stay a big 10! Besides that the food was delicious; The lady who served us was extremely cooperative. At the end the personal note on the bill was the icing on the cake. Also a note: we were sitting close to the toilets: every guest was unsure - in case of emergency - which way to go. Tip: do something with a clear indication of which side ladies, men or disabled people should go to. Furthermore, I would like to come back here again and would highly recommend Our Church to friends, families and acquaintances. Even though it's not exactly next door from Zoetermeer. Extra compliment to Tonke, who made this evening unforgettable. Only at the end - when a few colleagues had already been sent home - it took a while for her to realize that we would like a cup of coffee at the end. Luckily we weren't in a hurry.

Delicious food in a beautiful setting. Love has gone into both the food and the decor. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. All good ingredients to make another reservation.

We are very satisfied with the welcome and care you received last Saturday! A well-deserved 10! We will definitely visit again. Yours sincerely,

Very nice Very attractive and cozy inside Excellent service.

Good food. Nice service. Special location.

Rarely do you come to a restaurant with such an atmosphere, good service and food that you enjoy looking at and that also tastes delicious. This makes a birthday a great day.

What a fantastic restaurant this is! What makes it so nice... a nice atmosphere, special location, delicious food, but above all the staff is great, what nice people work there! They really add something, are involved, friendly without being pushy. What great ones! We enjoyed it immensely and will definitely come back again. This restaurant will be in my top three.

This is a very special place to have a delicious bite to eat. The service is super sweet and patient, the food is fantastic and the location is very special. Highly recommended!

A great beautiful location, and friendly staff, had lunch, a board with soup, and a choice of three dishes, it was delicious, we enjoyed it, we will definitely come back.

We thought the dinner in Our Church was a really great experience. Super friendly service and delicious dishes. We opted for the chef's 4-course menu and were very pleasantly surprised by all the goodies that were presented to us. We will definitely spread the word to family and friends!

Enjoyed a delicious chef's menu with a large group, accompanied and served by perfect service. Highly recommended!!
