Stadscafé Simons in Wijk 01 Doetinchem Centrum

Had a delicious lunch on the terrace! Great quality! The tuna pinsa is especially recommended!

Small lunch, nice and outside on probably the last warm day. Great. Tasty food, super service. Friendly, quick, and with a smile. Highly recommended if you are in Doetinchem.

Fast and friendly service. The food here is great!

Coffee unavailable 2 hours before closing time because "the coffee machine is already clean". Strange for a café.

Nice place, and a good menu! We wanted to try a bit of everything. In the end, we went for the charcuterie board with nice craft beers!

Had a delicious meal here with my family, enjoyed it immensely! The service was top-notch and super friendly. Order taken very quickly and the food arrived very fast. The food was truly delicious, definitely recommended!!

Oh my goodness, how cozy, how delicious. Be sure to try that meter-long small bites for two!

Had a good meal for a fair price. Friendly staff.

The coffee was okay, but the food was a complete disaster. The Simons burger costs almost 20 euros and is simply inedible. The meat tastes like it wasn't meant for human consumption. On top of that, the burger bun has the consistency of soggy toast.

Delicious breakfast and a cup of coffee.

Large terrace. Even on weekdays, it is pleasantly busy. I've been there twice. They have tasty cocktails (including 0.0) and smoothies. Dinner was also good. There is plenty of choice and the quality is good.

A cozy and well-cooled place with friendly and helpful staff. One of them even called me "young man," and for someone who has just retired, that really is the biggest compliment.😄

Absolutely fantastic! What a menu, what a selection! Fast, cheerful service and reasonable prices.

Nice place, friendly service and delicious food

Nice atmosphere, service was top-notch

Exceptionally large scoops of ice cream, beautiful here, definitely recommended if you are in Doetinchem.

Had a delicious meal. Good and efficient service.

We were with a large group and 5 people ordered the Simons hamburger for €19.50; it was very basic, no sauce, lettuce, or salad, and one small bowl of fries for 5 people. We had to ask twice if this was normal, so few fries for 5 people. The food quality was severely substandard. It is just pub fare. Selling cheap junk to people who have had too much to drink. A big fail!

Nice lunch menu and friendly, professional staff. Tables are a little too close together, making it feel a bit cramped. The stroganoff pot was (almost) sublime. Tender meat, fresh compote, and a tasty salad. The fries were golden brown and well-cooked. The only downside was the stroganoff sauce...it really tasted like nothing. That clearly can/must be better.

It's a nice and cozy place to sit. I come here every now and then! The service/kitchen is fast, even when it's busy. What I did find very rude, though, was that the moment we wanted to split the bill and it came to about €27 and a bit, the host nonchalantly said: "Shall I round it up to €30?" Yes, no, sorry.

We had a delicious meal and drinks with a group of 10 people, thanks to the excellent staff at Simons. Highly recommended.

Great spot Lovely large terrace Extensive menu with something for everyone. Meals are served nice and hot, even on the terrace. The service is fast and friendly. If I had to mention a downside, it would be the smokers. I know it is allowed, but it is not pleasant to be eating in someone else's smoke.

Huge attitude if you want to order something to go

Had a delicious meal, good quality. Staff friendly. A top-notch café. We will definitely be back. Regards from Bemmel

The quality is no longer what it was 18 months ago; I ordered the schnitzel on the first day because it was so good last time, but unfortunately it was bad. I gave it another chance on the 2nd day; the chicken satay was simply too small a portion with barely any satay sauce and some nasty chips on the side. Sorry, just adjust the prices and keep delivering quality, but that is absolutely NOT the case anymore. Greetings from an international service technician

Only the toilets are very dirty, this is always the case. They aren't cleaned properly or often enough.

The food was good, but it's a very noisy place inside. But that's probably just me.

A popular city café, as it was quite busy. The service is pleasantly quick and friendly. The menu is extensive; the only downside is that several of the set dishes didn't include a small soup. I only found one, and that was with the vegetarian option. It would be nice to be able to choose whether or not to include it. Furthermore, the Chai Latte was mediocre and half of it was a thick dollop of whipped cream. You have to work through that before you can even take a sip. Good, tasty whipped cream, yes, but way too much. I'd prefer a slightly smaller glass with half the whipped cream and more flavor in the Chai Latte (yes, and without coffee, otherwise I'd order a dirty Chai Latte) ;)

Cozy cafe. Quick service. The food was good (salmon sandwich), but a bit pricey at 14.50.

Had a delicious meal and friendly staff

My girlfriend and I had a delicious carpaccio sandwich here. I highly recommend it. The blackcurrant wasn't too expensive and was simply good value. Blankets and heat lamps under the awning were also a nice touch. Absolutely fantastic!

A great spot in the city center for a nice drink or a delicious lunch! I've been going to this cafe regularly with friends for years, and I always love it. The staff is always very friendly, you don't have to wait long for your order, the food is deliciously fresh, and the portions are just right. I've also noticed that other people around me find the portions quite generous and the prices reasonable, which isn't something you see very often these days. Even if you just come for a hot chocolate and apple pie, it's a great place to be. They have a large terrace, and even in the winter you can sit "outside" under the heaters and out of the wind. In short, highly recommended!

Enjoy a delicious lunch and a drink. Good service and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Had a delicious meal, nice staff.

Had a delicious lunch. Great place, friendly staff. The customer clearly comes first.

I love coming here for the acai bowl. It's soooooooooooooo good!

We come here every time we're in Doetinchem for coffee, lunch, or dinner, and just like every other time, we receive a warm welcome and friendly, welcoming service. In short, highly recommended, and we'll see you next time.

Had a delicious lunch and breakfast. Lovely location.

After being ignored at the Grand Café, we moved here. The café was very busy. Nevertheless, the staff got us a table and served us quickly and courteously. The beer selection is excellent. The nachos were delicious. We'll gladly come back.

Very cozy and welcoming. The lunch was delicious.

Beautiful and cozy place. Perfect, especially these days.

Beautiful and cozy place. Perfect, especially these days.

I always pop in here for a bite to eat. This time I sat inside in the small coffee area. The food wasn't good because the staff takes some of their food from the restaurant and some from the café, meaning customers were constantly sitting in a draft.

Nice service, excellent sandwiches!

Everyone in Doetinchem knows it: if you don't know where to go, you go to Simons because it's so familiar and has a good location. But the people behind Simons apparently also know that people think this way, which is why I've noticed more and more in recent years that quality is being sacrificed for quantity. The staff is okay but not great, and the food isn't always great either; it sometimes feels a bit rushed. Still, 4 stars because it's always a pleasant atmosphere and I've been going there for years without any problems.

Beautiful resting place in Doetinchem

Delicious food, friendly staff. Good atmosphere.

A lovely and cozy cafe/restaurant. Friendly and attentive staff, and even an opportunity to play a game. The bouncer was excellent.

Delicious lunch, friendly staff.

I love coming here, but I don't understand why the restrooms are always so dirty! Even at 11 a.m. They just haven't been cleaned. Yuck.

It was nice and cozy on an atmospheric terrace with good food

I sat there because it wasn't busy, now I know why. All the benches were shit on, and it just stays that way. Lukewarm Coke, no ice, but fruit pulp in the glass of the previous user, tasteless pulled pork sandwich. They must be day trippers who's there.

Nice place right next to the church and main square

Haven't been here in a while. Prices have gone up considerably (understandable with recent inflation), but in my opinion, the quality has deteriorated. A shame.

Wow, that was terrible. We ordered drinks without ice, and the ice came with fresh juice. It was probably partly fresh and partly cartoned, but I'm sure it wasn't fresh. Four people ordered food, two of whom had already finished it, and we finally asked for the other two. Two toasted sandwiches were fine, one waffle was slightly lukewarm, but it was okay when it was cold, so dry it was inedible, and one pancake was cold. A little later, we went to the restroom, which was absolutely awful and smelled yuck, yuck, and yuck. The tables outside weren't cleaned, and we had to ask for cutlery. We checked the neighbors', and it looked much better, so we'll sit there next time.

The table was dirty and sticky and wasn't cleared. We then ordered fresh juice, but it wasn't fresh, as the staff claimed it had been since early morning (and it was a combination of fresh and canned). Half of our group received their food, and long after they'd finished it, the other half still hadn't received their order. The staff on the terrace were grumpy. In short, we won't be returning.

The sandwiches for lunch were surprisingly tasty and the portions were very generous.

Cozy and comfortable seating. Friendly staff. The food is excellent.

They don't give a spoon with the soup and it's not picked up so we've been sitting with glasses and plates for an hour

What a great restaurant. What a nice staff. Come to Rotterdam. We saw all sorts of things passing by, now that makes you hungry.

We went spontaneous on a Friday evening. It was full but there are a lot of seats available. Service was friendly and fairly fast. The Burger served with fries tasted good even tho the bread was to soft for my taste. Schnitzel on the other hand was a bit though but tasty. They have chairs for children and even little cars where the kids can sit on. The table next to us still had straws and napkins on there from the guests that been there before us. It wasn't really dirty but these leftovers have not been cleaned up during the duration of our visit. We liked the location.

One of the busier restaurants in Doetinchem. Especially with the nice and warm weather, it is packed inside and certainly on the terrace. You may have to be patient before you get a spot... but just wait... The food is good... good portions and fair prices.... Are you shopping? Then stop for a moment and feed your inner self! Are you at home and hungry and don't feel like cooking? Jump in your car or on your bike and go visit them

Terrible staff. Bald anabolic doesn't look at anyone at the table when he explains everything. Then the lady who arrogantly and grumpily brings the drinks. Really terrible and never experienced it before. Food was also very disappointing and not worth repeating!

Toilets downstairs could look a bit cleaner and fresher/tidier. Not a calling card!

Had breakfast. It was nice; service was fast and a friendly server

Had a lovely lunch. Lots of choice and generous portions. Extensive beer menu and relaxed atmosphere. Staff is quick, attentive and friendly 👍🏻

Our favorite spot in Doetinchem

We had High Tea but that was a disgrace. Was very little and lettuce was wilted. No jam with the scones. Little choice in tea. And went home hungry

It is so busy here that the service cannot cope (long wait, tables not cleaned properly, forgotten to bring order, forgotten cutlery, but also just unfriendly). The terrace seems very chaotic, tables close together. Glasses not properly cleaned (served wet, with the pulp of the orange juice still on it: just not properly cleaned). In the summer a lot of wasps too, super annoying. Been a few times over the years, always disappointing.

sitting comfortably on the terrace

Sometimes very noisy when delivering products. But they can't get away from that.

Good food at a reasonable price Great service They also offer a menu in English

I wanted to have a nice drink here tonight with a cake or ice cream, but unfortunately that was not possible. Of course it is not bad if the kitchen is closed but the way it was told I find downright absurd. It was a girl with dark hair, a hair clip and glasses. This girl came to ask us what we wanted to drink, I told her that I would like to order a smoothie to which I got a blunt no that is not possible. When I then wanted to ask if I could order a cake or ice cream I also got a curt answer that I could only order snacks, after which she immediately walked away and did not ask if we wanted to order something else instead of a cake. Of course it is not bad if something is not possible that is why it was a question, but the way it was told to us here I found really incredibly blunt.

Food is not good. The burger is overspiced especially for a kid to eat. Fries are below average.

It's always great here 😅. I'm drawn there like a magnet because it's cozy. A good atmosphere among the staff results in a good atmosphere in the store. It's been great for years.

Slecht, ik denk het geregeld te hebben en dan komen ze buiten het terras me nalopen of ik wel betaald heb terwijl het geregeld was om het op tafel 86 te zetten, schaam je

Nice to have something to eat. Not too expensive/nicely priced. But this is an eatery: burgers, spare ribs, chicken satay, etc. just good, but don't expect the most culinary delights.

Super atmosphere! Small table, but the food was delicious. Due to the crowds, the drinks took a while. The food came earlier while ordered later. I thought the price was a bit on the high side. But all in all a sufficient score.

City café Simons is highly recommended if you are looking for delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. Not only does the cafe have a fun ambiance, but it also offers convenient upstairs spaces for private parties, making it perfect for special occasions. What really makes this place special are the cocktails. This is the first place in the Netherlands where I really liked them – perfectly mixed and full of flavour. In addition, the food was of excellent quality, freshly prepared and wonderfully presented. Whether you come for an extensive dinner or a drink, the quality remains consistent. Stadscafé Simons is a place where I will definitely return more often. The combination of good service, a cozy atmosphere and top quality food and drinks makes it a favorite.

Zaterdag eind van de middag op teras plaatsgenomen. Gezellig druk, vriendelijke bediening en spoedig geholpen. Ook toen we van tafel wisselde was datgeen probleem.. Vegetarische nacho's bij de borrel besteld. Die waren lekker, maar was wat fantasieloos naar mijn mening. Gesmolten kaas,gacumole,crème, en een pepertje. Ook hapje gegeten, dat was prima op smaak, en frietjes zijn bij te bestellen. Dessert kaart is heel veel keuze.. gekozen voor Dessert voor 2, dit was op verzoek voor 3 pers (was geen probleem goed op in gesprongen van personeel) Dessert was mooi verzorgd en lekker. Klein aandachtspunt. Als je zoveel verschillende desserts op kaart heb staan dan vind ik het Dessert om te delen wat simpel. Vanille-ijs, flensje en aarbeien. Kortom we hebben fijn gezeten en lekker gegeten. We komen zeker nog wel terug..

Went to dinner with some others yesterday. Service was not good, it all took a very long time. Friends of employees who kept walking in immediately had everyone's attention. People at the table had to wait a long time. We only got one dessert menu, which is difficult when there are five of you. Also eat moderately and especially little. I had the satay, two small skewers with barely 200 grams of dry meat. A little bit of sauce and a few chips. 22 euros. Bizarre. With five others we had one small bowl of salad and one small bowl of fries. We were able to order more, but by the time we finally had fries, the rest was already gone. We won't come here again.

At Stadscafé Simons the tables on the terrace are very close together. It is difficult to walk past the tables. After sitting for a while, we actually interact with the waiter. Only he doesn't come to us, but he helps all the people who speak to him first. Shame. The coke tastes great.

The management has a good eye on what is needed. They are friendly, adequate and smooth with everything. Good inquiry whether you would like to receive the next course immediately, ask in a timely manner whether it tastes good or whether additional supplements are needed. All 4 served at the same time and had a delicious meal. Not half a plate filled, enough of everything. Good price-quality ratio. Great place to go back to again. Parking within walking distance at the Pig Meadow for €4.- Cozy interior too, in short: very successful! Recommended!

Service is good. Someone always comes to your table quickly

I don't really like this place because of the slow service, but it is a very good bar. The bartender Alexandra served us quickly and made good cocktails, I give 1 point to the establishment and 4 points to Oleksandra

Atmosphere is amazing, food is great and a lovely staff xx keep up the amazing work 😀 ❤️

De pulled pork wrap is inderdaad belabberd. En is als omschreven door Edwin . Koud en grove stukken vlees , saus is er tussen gemikt .

Komen hier regelmatig, maar nu nooit meer. Super slechte ervaring bestellen wrap met pulled park. Krijgen deze koud geserveerd. Bij navraag is het antwoord van een beledigde bediende ja dat is de nieuwe kaart. Een wrap met pulled pork hoort warm geserveerd te worden. Het was trouwens ook geen pullen park maar klein gesneden shoarmavlees qua grootte.

When my partner and I arrived, we were allowed to choose our own seat. Most of the seats were not clean, so there wasn't much choice. We were helped immediately and had something to drink within 5 minutes. However, after waiting 35 minutes, beckoning someone several times and even waving at the waiter, we walked to the counter to pay instead of ordering a meal as we had planned. Very unfortunate.

High tea was zeer matig. Eerder daar high tea gehad. Toen oké. Nu weinig hapjes geen warme hapjes. droge scones. Grote ongezellige thermoskan op tafel.

Had a nice meal at Simons, the smoothies and waffles are also highly recommended. It was nice sitting outside, under the heater.

One part that is unfortunately missing from Google Review is 'plumbing'. As a customer, you should actually first look at the sanitary facilities and then decide whether or not to stay. Hopefully it is a snapshot, but on Wednesday evening 30.10 a visit to the men's toilet after a drink on the terrace turned out to be a rather shocking experience. A shame and hopefully an incident, but one to keep an eye on because clean sanitary facilities also say something about business operations!

Nice place to have lunch. Smooth operation. No details to note.

Just a quick bite, tasty food and friendly staff.

Delicious food. We were a group of 29 and with a reservation this was no problem.

Lunch. Roast chicken. De kip had geen smaak. Het leek op tofu en smaakte daar ook naar. Gezegd dat het niet smaakte. Ze zei dat het voorgegaard wordt ingekocht en ter plekke gekruid. En liep weer weg. Bij het afrekenen, geen aanbod gekregen van de helft betalen of een tegoedbon o.i.d. Heel jammer.

After two drinks we ordered something else, but that took, and took, and took... When we asked, they were served quickly, with apologies and the second drink was free. Look, this is how you keep customers! Top!

Delicious acai bowl! Nice extensive map!

We found hair in our food, which turned out to be from the chef. We didn't have to pay for the food but no apology was offered. Normally they received good help, but this was very disappointing.

We moesten anderhalf uur wachten om überhaupt de kans krijgen om iets te halen, we worden genegeerd door elke medewerker. Voelt als discriminatie. Ik eis gratis drankjes. Ook wil ik 12 bitterballen. Er wordt beloofd dat we konden bestellen na 5 min, maar uiteindelijk werd dit ter vergeefs vergeten/genegeerd. Trauma’s a Simons. Teleurstellend dit. Bij voorbaat dank. Mvg, ons.
