The IJssel Pavilion in Wijk 00 Centrum - De Hoven

You can eat wonderfully here. Friendly atmosphere. Price and quality are fine. What could be better? If you have sushi on the menu, make sure chopsticks are ready on the table and, once everyone is seated, ask who is or isn't eating sushi. Today I had to ask 3 members of the wait staff for chopsticks before I could eat. This isn't criticism, but meant as a constructive tip. And if you split up a large group, make sure that when the dishes are served, the table number is clearly mentioned. This sometimes causes confusion. Otherwise, all the service is great! I will definitely be back again.

Lovely, beautiful ambiance. Nice, friendly staff. Tapas are delicious, something for everyone in terms of variety: meat, vegan, fish, sushi, etc.

A fantastic location right on the banks of the IJssel River, offering creative and truly delicious dishes at a fair price. The pavilion has a cool interior, and the service is very friendly, German-speaking, and absolutely attentive. After two visits to the pavilion, we can wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone with a hearty appetite.

Unlimited enjoyment, full of flavor. What can I say? Every dish you order is well-seasoned with good spices. Do book a few weeks in advance, as they fill up quickly on weekends.

Nice terrace where you have a beautiful view, especially in good weather.

This was such a wonderful place to sit and dine at! The waiters were all full of energy and very enthusiastic, also extremely polite (and so kind to help a non-local) A handful of the dishes have a fairly spicyf sauce, which they don't really explain, but other than that? The food was exceptional!

After waiting on the terrace for over 10 minutes, still no service, so we left again!

Friendly staff and delicious food.

We wanted to eat something there, but there was no room left. Everything was reserved.

Upon arrival, there was no parking space; this was a real shame for such a beautiful restaurant. The location was super beautiful, and the food was delicious. Every 10 minutes, the "host" came to us to ask if we were enjoying our meal and refilled the water every time... Unfortunately, some dishes we had ordered were missing. Otherwise, a fine restaurant. But I would rather go to Mundoz in Duiven.

Lovely spot right on the quay. The restaurant has been there for at least half a century. The interior is nevertheless modern and atmospheric.

So far, one of the best tapas restaurants we have ever visited. The food is delicious and arrives at the table quickly after ordering. Not all the staff look equally friendly, but the hostess was amazing.

Service very nice, beautiful location. Food nothing special. Not really bad either, but for the price it really should be better.

Good food with a tapas recipe at dinner. Unlimited for several hours available for one price.

Vior was here for the 2nd time, but unfortunately, this time it wasn't a good experience. Unfortunately, it was freezing cold under the air conditioning. The service was polite but couldn't manage a smile. Someone was seated next to us who, due to circumstances, had to keep their leg elevated. This meant we were eating next to a foot. Someone came to that table to ask if that was acceptable, but no one came to ask us how we felt about having someone's foot lying next to our table. No, that person can't help it, but our dining experience was completely ruined by this. Consequently, we left much earlier than we had intended! The food was mediocre. Fries were cold, noodles were hot but incredibly greasy. Standard sauces came with everything. Unfortunately, the meat was tough and much of it tasted the same. Sushi was fine. The desserts were good, though. The speed at which the food arrived at the table was reasonable. They came to clear the plates regularly in between courses.

Very friendly staff. Delicious latte :) Beautiful view. We paid €13 for two lattes and a chocolate milkshake. The view of the water is included in the price.

Nice terrace by the IJssel, with sunny and shady spots. Attentive staff.

The staff constantly asks if they can take anything away. That is very annoying. They even asked if they could take our cutlery away while we were still eating! The many different staff members coming to your table is also disturbing. And when you think you are being polite: "No, I won't take the bottles, a colleague does that." The food isn't bad, but it is bland and unremarkable, so that as little as possible is returned. Not recommended. The atmosphere varies greatly depending on where you sit. You are just a number. It is nice with children, though, who can order dishes themselves. Unlimited desserts.

Great for a nice evening out for dinner.

Fantastic atmosphere and delicious food

Really tasty food and prompt service, shame about the QR code, very impersonal

Had a delicious meal at a prime location! The food was served quickly and it was all delicious.

Good location with a beautiful view of the IJssel. The food is perfectly fine, highly recommended!

Beautiful location, cozy atmosphere, and friendly staff. We had a delicious meal and drinks.

It was very cozy and delicious again.

Nice place to relax and eat a delicious ice cream

Everything was great. Florian made our afternoon. Thanks to him, my wallet is empty; what a handsome guy!

Had a delicious drink at a beautiful location

This exceptionally beautifully situated restaurant in the Hanseatic city of Zutphen is a truly lovely, quiet, but above all eccentric place to eat. The food was incredibly good, the service excellent, and naturally, based on the above, the location is truly beautiful. Definitely recommended for a bite to eat, but do take into account possible waiting times! A busy spot.

Had a delicious meal and drinks. Cozy atmosphere.

Enjoying the lovely scenery by the IJssel

I had a really great meal here and the atmosphere was very cozy. It was nice and sunny and warm, so we sat outside. It was a very pleasant place to spend time! I thoroughly enjoyed the salmon poke bowl, and the frozen smoothie was tasty but very sweet for my taste. But otherwise: everything looked super fresh and tasted delicious. Inside, it looks chic, neat, and clean, and seems like a very cozy place to sit. The staff were real darlings.

The food was delicious, there was a lot of choice, the service was good, and the atmosphere was very cozy. Highly recommended.

Top restaurant, good food, delicious

We have been here several times for the tapas, and it is a treat every single time. The food here is delicious, and the staff also deserves high praise.

Top location, great service, delicious food

Had a great lunch at the IJsselpaviljoen. I had the avocado sandwich, which was very tasty and fresh. There was plenty of seating and the service was friendly. A nice spot for lunch by the IJssel.

A very trendy spot in a great location right on the Ijssel river, popular with many young people. However, the food concept is quite expensive, with a fixed price of 42 euros and rather steep drink prices. We ended up moving on!

Delicious food and consistent quality. The food is on the table within 2 minutes of ordering, and the service (which is also friendly) is very fast. On average, it is slightly more expensive than other comparable restaurants, but you know that the quality is always good and that you will receive prompt service. That difference is absolutely worth it.

The tapas concept seems nice. Unfortunately, most of the dishes tasted the same. Furthermore, the meat was overcooked. It is a shame, because the restaurant is located in a beautiful spot. The price/quality ratio is not right.

Had dinner with a large group of friends tonight and everyone thought the service was fast; the drinks and food came really quickly :)

Sunny terrace with a beautiful view. Coffee and apple pie. Excellent.

Friendly service, tasty food and a great view over the IJssel lake. I had several a la carte lunch menu and their dinner tapas package. Parking facility is available for restaurant guests.

Very good all-you-can-eat concept; everything was tasty and well-seasoned. The service was friendly and welcoming. Despite the lovely weather and the beautiful location on the IJssel, it is advisable to sit inside, as the terrace is unfortunately not smoke-free. That last point is quite a significant drawback!

It was top-notch. Ordering was easy with the app. The food arrived quickly. Empty plates were cleared away quickly. They often came to ask for drinks. It is a pleasant place to sit.

Late lunch was quite tasty, but also quite expensive.

Enjoyed it from A to Z: delicious food, top-notch drinks, and plenty of choice! What a fantastic experience we had at the IJsselpaviljoen! From the moment we stepped inside, there was a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. We truly had a delicious meal here. What immediately caught our attention was the extensive menu; there is an incredible amount of choice, ensuring there is something tasty for everyone and making it difficult to choose! Not only was the food of high quality, but the drinks menu also deserves high praise. They don't just serve standard drinks here; they really go all out. The homemade iced tea was wonderfully refreshing and perfectly flavored, and the fresh smoothies are also highly recommended if you enjoy a flavorful and healthy boost. The combination of the tasty food, the unique drinks, and the pleasant ambiance means we will definitely be coming back here very often. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a successful lunch or a cozy dinner!

Had a really nice experience eating together.

Perfect location on the IJssel.

Had a bad evening. A lot of hassle with drinks and food not being brought.

This IJsselpaviljoen is a place where you can enjoy the food they serve. It's simply excellent. Outside of the times we enjoy getting together with family, I also come for lunch at noon. This is definitely worth a visit, as they celebrated their 10th anniversary last Saturday, March 30, 2024. 👍👍 IJsselpaviljoen, congratulations on your 10th anniversary. 👍👍 As you can see, there are so many happy faces, and for me, the IJsselpaviljoen is a second home. If you've never been, go and experience the atmosphere. GOOD LUCK! Wishing everyone who reads this much: Light, Love, Strength, and Warmth. 🙏✨✨🙏

Beautifully situated by the water,

Beautifully situated on the IJssel. Parking is sometimes difficult. Limited space and very small pitches. The food is tasty, portions are sometimes a bit small, but then you just order another time. Sitting outside is also fantastic in good weather. The staff is mostly young but very friendly!

Always a pleasant atmosphere and delicious food. The only downside is that I find €42 very expensive for an 11-year-old. She eats 6 small dishes on one occasion. Otherwise, always good service and quick staff who want to make everyone happy.

Super food, super service, and the staff is also really friendly. I was here for the first time yesterday, and so far the best tapas I've had. Definitely a solid 10.

A delicious cup of ginger tea with lemon and mouthwatering apple strudel with whipped cream. Highly recommended!

Lovely terrace by the water, great service and easy parking.

Service took a bit long. But friendly.

Personally, I found it a bit annoying that your cutlery is already cleared away when you still wanted to order. The ice cream was full of crystals. And the ice cream plates were still warm when served.

Very cozy on the terrace with a view over the IJssel, excellent and friendly service, and the food was top quality.

It is always pleasant to eat here. It is also served quickly.

Nice place to enjoy a meal with family, friends, or colleagues. Something for everyone, so also suitable for "picky" eaters. Just choose whatever you feel like. There is a beautiful terrace with a view of the IJssel. A pleasant place to be, friendly staff.

We enjoyed a delicious selection of all kinds of tapas dishes. Great atmosphere, beautiful view, and incredibly friendly staff. Highly recommended! But this is also a great place for a tasty lunch. Everything tasted equally good and the location is amazing.

Had a delicious cappuccino with warm strudel and ice cream. Very friendly staff 👍🏼

Delicious food! Good service. Beautiful surroundings.

Despite being a somewhat dated place, the food is fine and the price is reasonable. Recommended

Delicious tapas. Very efficient service.

We had a delicious meal and a compliment to the service.

Had a delicious meal, but it was busy.

Good place for delicious food, relaxation, and tasty drinks. Friendly service with a smile. We will definitely come back here again.

Delicious food, just like at all restaurants of this company; something for everyone😋😝

Visited for the second time; wide selection, nice dishes, fast service. Easily accessible, however, parking isn't great.

Very well located restaurant. Definitely deserves ****** stars.

The food was good. There were several large groups when we were there, which caused a lot of noise. The host was excellent. He regularly asked if everything was to our liking and clearly knew something about the wines on the menu. Definitely recommended.

All-you-can-eat restaurant. Versatile selection of meat, fish, vegetarian, sushi, grill, and desserts. Choose 2 dishes per round. Friendly staff. We have had delicious meals there several times already.

Had dinner with family. Beautiful location. Very noisy though; ordering via one phone isn't very convenient with a large group. The food was good and was brought quickly.

Cozy, pleasant, delicious food and a beautiful view

Okay, we gave in after all after good stories and reviews. Beautiful spot and lovely terrace, although unfortunately no dinner is served in April and May. The atmosphere inside is fine, good decor, not too crowded, the air conditioning does its job, and there are few running children (it is Easter Monday, after all). Food? Big MWAH. Although all dishes are warm, they are either overcooked or not fresh. Actually, we are quite disappointed with the quality. The wine list is nice and extensive, but also very pricey. The service absolutely does its best and is amiable and helpful (we complained about small wine glasses with a €60 bottle, which was resolved). But unfortunately, despite those efforts, we will not be coming back. P.S. If you are a dessert fan and are willing to pay €42.50 p.p. for it, you really should go!

Worthless, completely ignored by the staff. Left after 20 minutes. We just went to the neighbors (Lekker aan de IJssel) where we were served quickly and in a friendly manner.

Went here for an extensive lunch. Soup as a starter and Salmon / Stew as the main course. Deliciously prepared, good price. Cozy place, friendly staff. Definitely recommended if you want to enjoy yourself by the IJssel.

I've been there almost 10 times already and it really is my favorite! What an amazing restaurant with delicious food, friendly service, and always a nice atmosphere. Highly recommended!!

Good service on the terrace. It's a great place to sit when the weather is nice!

Lovely all-you-can-eat restaurant with many options. The food is good and the atmosphere is cozy. The staff is also very polite.

Everything was good. Reception. Friendly staff. The food. It is just a shame that people use the IJsselpaviljoen's parking lot to go out elsewhere in Zutphen. (As a result, IJsselpaviljoen guests cannot park.)

If you're looking for a place with a great atmosphere and excellent service, you've come to the right place! We received a very warm and friendly welcome from the enthusiastic team. The food is excellent and served quickly, although for me personally, the dishes lacked that little something extra to truly stand out. The mocktails, on the other hand, are highly recommended and very tasty! A lovely place with a very pleasant team.

Cozy restaurant for a bite to eat. Beautiful view of the IJssel River.

Went for the second time and the food was perfect again

The food was delicious, prepared quickly and was of good quality. We really enjoyed it! The service was very friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant was cozy. We will definitely be back!

Best all you can eat restaurant I’ve been to so far!!!

A lovely place for a cozy meal. Beautiful views of the IJssel River. I've enjoyed two delicious lunches there. The menu is varied, so there are good choices.

Great food, friendly staff and beautiful location

We had some really delicious tapas. Nice atmosphere, good service.

The staff is really friendly, young and relaxed, and they even crack a joke every now and then. The restaurant has a great atmosphere; it was very busy, but that didn't bother us. The food was delicious! The desserts are mini portions, so you can try a lot :-D. Unfortunately, we don't live nearby, but we highly recommend it!

Cozy and atmospheric decor, food is good and service very friendly!

The food was literally brought to the table as if it were rushed, just barely in your face. When a receipt fell into one of the dishes, it was removed with a finger and a "bon appétit" added, without further explanation or apology. For the price you pay (comparable to a regular restaurant), you really should expect more. Unfortunately, the service was cafeteria-level, which doesn't match the price or the image it suggests.

Delicious food....we have been there before but it was a different restaurant...very nice young waiter, very good service...we will definitely go back.

The food is good. And it arrives very quickly. Really great.

We had a last-minute tapas dinner here yesterday (2 hours). It was delicious, but Wok de Hoven is still better.

Delicious food. We usually go to Mundoz in Duiven, but the quality here was just as good! Very smooth and friendly service. Orders arrived quickly, and the food was delicious again. It's a bit larger than Mundoz, which makes it a bit noisier, but that doesn't detract from the experience. We had a great evening :)

The restaurant is large and busy. Luckily, you don't have to worry about this at the table. Dishes are served quickly, though the only downside is that the beef is a bit overcooked. It's tough. The staff is friendly and works quickly.
