The food was local and truly delicious, the staff friendly and knowledgeable. How nice it is to eat in a beautiful, yet unique place. The lime kiln itself! Because we had our four-year-old son with us, they were very accommodating and helpful. Having worked in a Michelin-starred restaurant years ago, it can sometimes be difficult to find cutlery and other necessities, but here it was simply perfect. Highly recommended.

Made a last-minute reservation. It was great that there was still a spot available. Villa Kalkoven is a charming restaurant. The food on the small menu is delicious. It did take a while for the food to be served, even the bread platter, which was delicious, by the way. So, it's recommended to order a bottle of wine (or water) so you have plenty to drink while waiting. The restaurant is conveniently located near the highway, making it easily accessible. There are plenty of parking spaces, making parking easy.

We celebrated our wedding day at Villa Kalkoven, and what a fantastic experience it was! From the very beginning, the initial consultation was incredibly pleasant: everything was clearly communicated, and we were able to easily plan our day based on existing choices. The team was incredibly involved in the planning, not only for the venue itself but also beyond. They didn't hesitate to help with other tasks to make our day a success. We were completely taken care of and were only asked the necessary questions to arrange everything to our liking, such as food preferences and decorations. They even arranged a florist for us, which all went very smoothly. On the day itself, Stefan took excellent care of everything and ensured it ran smoothly. The food exceeded our expectations, and the shared dinner with our guests was a huge success – everyone was thrilled! The party was fantastic, and the end of the day was also perfectly arranged. Villa Kalkoven made our wedding day unforgettable. We recommend this venue to anyone looking for a place where they can celebrate their special day with peace of mind. Thank you for everything!

Our plan was to have lunch (two friends). Unfortunately, the lunch menu turned out to be very limited. The Villa menu consisted of soup, a sandwich, and a salad for €17.50. There was also no drinks menu. Since we couldn't choose from those, we opted for appetizers. These were served without cutlery, napkins, or plates, even though they did include spreads. The location is beautiful, but the plants in the containers looked very sad, including those at the entrance. This was probably due to the funeral that had just taken place, which is why we were asked to arrive later, as it was running late. All in all, a sad affair. A day later, we received a call from Villa Kalkoven, and the above was explained and promptly resolved.

We opted for the four-course dinner with paired wines. A great choice for us! We had a wonderful time, didn't want to leave before 10 p.m., and even ordered a cheese board on the spot. We weren't familiar with this restaurant, but we'll definitely be back. Tip for the restaurant: the cutlery is clean, but it looks a bit grimy; you could improve on that.

My partner and I got married at Villa Kalkoven on June 20, 2025. Both the preparations for the day, led by Lidian, and our wedding day were perfect. Villa Kalkoven is an incredibly beautiful, romantic place to get married, and we received many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue is. We were certainly lucky with the fantastic weather, but also with the team at Villa Kalkoven. It was great that Lidian is an experienced wedding planner, and from our first meeting, we felt comfortable right away. We had the most beautiful day of our lives and would absolutely recommend this venue! Dominique & Jan Grasdijk

Yesterday we had dinner with our company but it was not good unfortunately. Very small portions, not good food (cod and orzo with strange taste), substandard service. We were allowed to choose from 'tomato, carrot or tartare' for starters without further explanation. Forgot to bring rounds of drinks (only had 2 rounds the whole evening) did not receive extra ordered side dishes. We felt quite neglected. I am used to much better here.

Ik ging samen met mijn vrouw, om onze 12,5 jarige bruiloft te vieren. Bij binnenkomst kwamen wij al 2 dames tegen, die al enige tijd op zoek waren naar een toilet (dus niet aangegeven). Een medewerkster heeft ons een tafeltje aangewezen en is vervolgens spoorloos verdwenen (later zagen wij haar achter de bar praten met collega s). Na een kwartier wachten zijn wij maar weggegaan. Het zou handig zijn als er een menukaart of drankenkaart op tafel zou liggen, dan kun je jezelf alvast inleven. Zo verschillend van een aantal jaren geleden onder de vorige eigenaren; toen voelden wij ons wel welkom.

For our 12.5 year wedding anniversary my wife took me to Villa Kalkovens. We were assigned a table, after which we were left to our own devices. Later we saw the lady who had assigned us the table, chatting with her colleague behind the bar. After waiting for a while we finally left. So different compared to a few years ago, when I felt welcome in the same restaurant. I don't think it's unwillingness but rather a lack of involvement and professionalism. All in all a disappointing 12.5 year wedding anniversary. So we didn't get to eat, but for service and atmosphere a big fail

In the past few years we have eaten at Villa Kalkovens about five times. A pleasant location with a spacious outdoor garden by the water. The menu offered a lot of choice and the slogan on the website that many and varied regional products are used was not an exaggeration. Recently we reserved a table for four people for a Sunday evening. The experiences were slightly astonishing, almost hilarious. What happened to the lime kilns? Upon entering we were kindly guided to a table in an almost empty kiln room. After that we were ignored for three quarters of an hour, even though there were only a few guests inside and outside and at least four employees could be counted in the service. Eventually we managed to order something to drink and when asked we were given the menu. With that immediately the first surprise: the website showed a less concise and more attractive menu. According to the owner, the marketing agency had apparently been negligent (but even days later the website remains unchanged). In any case, it turned out to be possible to order one of the starters that had been removed from the new menu - scallops. After an hour and fifteen minutes we got two small amuses, fine. Then a small dish was brought with exactly one (Kaiser) roll. When we asked what it was for, it was explained that this roll had been cut into four at the bottom. The reheated stale roll was really meant for four guests! This while the menu states that the starters are served with an organic roll. When ordering, we had mentioned that one of the four of us had to eat gluten-free; no problem. When he asked for a gluten-free roll after that quartered roll, he immediately got a whole roll; chapeau. The promised scallops were draped in slices on a bed of what was called tomato lavash, but the latter was probably carrot porridge from an Olvarit baby jar. The slices of shellfish themselves had no taste at all. As a main course, one of us got a diamond hare (given the size of an apparently very small animal) and the others a decent piece of cod. The fish was gooey, but had little taste and was also placed on a puddle of Olvarit carrot porridge, but with orzo and a few overcooked carrots. The main courses were served with fries upon request; according to the website, every main course should come with fresh fries, but according to the new menu only for an additional fee, so also for us. And apparently the fresh fries were no longer in stock, baskets were placed on the table with mainly leftover scraps under a few larger fries. The price of the bottles of (tap) water (5 euros per bottle) is reasonable, but why are the bottles with such a large profit percentage not first placed in the refrigerator for a while? There was a generous windfall: three of us ordered coffee/tea with chocolates; the fourth only espresso, but he also got chocolates! A beautiful set of luxury tea boxes was served with the tea glass; the pity was that almost all the boxes were empty. This was quickly replaced by full boxes after this was indicated to the staff. Given the experiences that evening, it seemed sensible to check the bill before paying. However, this turned out to be impossible: the bill was refused three times if it was not paid (digitally) first. In short: what happened to the Kalkovens?

Prachtige locatie. Binnen en (zeker ook) buiten. het eten was ook lekker en de bediening is aardig, maar..... Nu al 2 keer meegemaakt dat we erg lang moesten wachten op alles. Op de menukaart, op het drinken, op het eten............. Erg kleine porties. O.a. een heel klein frietmandje voor 3 personen. Werd wel aangevuld toen er gevraagd werd of het genoeg was. Zit je als de rest op is frietjes te eten..... Het (gewone) witbier was op na de eerste consumptie. De eerste ice-tea was een flesje met glas met ijsklontje, citroentje. de volgende waren in een klein glaasje, zonder citroentje..... Er werd niet gezegd dat het verrassingsmenu (in mei) inclusief drinken was, stond ook niet op de kaart. Ik kreeg mijn toetje bij het verrassingsmenu toen man en dochter nog op de kaart aan het kijken waren of zij een nagerecht wilden (zij hadden geen verrassingsmenu). De serveerster die bij meerdere tafeltjes vertelt niet te kunnen wachten totdat ze met en wijntje en een peukje op de bank kan ploffen.... (niet echt gepast bij dit restaurant vind ik). Al met al kreeg ik er een ongemakkelijk gevoel van als ik eerlijk ben. Het zat ook niet vol of zo.

Voorafgaand bij de reservering werd er fijn meegedacht over wat we als familie graag wilden. Eenmaal ter plekke was er idd een rustige plek gereserveerd. Wat wij niet wisten is dat het zitten in een oude kalkoven donker was en dat de akoestiek er niet fijn was. De muziek werd wel flink zachter gezet toe we er om vroegen. 😊 We waren ruimschoots op tijd. De amuse was goed. We kregen daarna twee zeer kleine bolletjes te verdelen voor 10 personen. Iets meer dan anderhalf uur na binnenkomst, kregen we ons eerste eten. Helaas niet echt tegelijk. De messen waren niet scherp, het bleek dat we bestek van het voorgerecht in gebruik hadden. Er was niet gevraagd in welke mate we het vlees gegaard wilden hebben: medium, rare of well done. De patat was te hard gebakken. De asperge salade wat smakeloos. Er was maar één vegetarisch gerecht op het menu en geen ruimte om te zoeken of er ook nog wat anders mogelijk was, echt spijtig. Het dessert zijn we maar niet meer aan begonnen. Bij het afrekenen hebben we onze moeiten benoemd. We kregen €100,- korting!!

This board took a long time to arrive and had been dry for quite some time. After taking the 2nd drink, we had been sitting for an hour, waiting again. Just go get the order yourself. Vague excuse that they were busy with it, pff yes with a lot of chatting. There were 6 tables occupied! We were about to leave, then the food arrived. Unfortunately that was disappointing. My 92 year old mother didn't like it. Other food was also so so. We were asked if everything was satisfactory. Neatly indicated whether she wanted to hear the truth.

For these prices you really expect more. The location is beautiful. But certainly not recommended, unfortunately.

A place like that that makes you think why didn't I discover this before... had a really nice evening, what a relaxed atmosphere there is. And, not unimportantly; delicious meal! We chose the surprise menu, with an extra tartare 'for the tasty', well it was surprising. Compliments for the variety and the daring combination of flavors. You taste the purity. Everything great!

Unfortunately the cash register was closed, but they were very friendly and I got a drink to compensate. Worth 5 stars and the location is beautiful.

Restaurant is beautifully designed, has interesting history, and it’s definitely worth seeing. Food was good, reasonably portioned and looked great. The only unpleasant thing is that it isn’t very clean. We found a dead bug on our table, it was dusty and had spider webs everywhere. Kinda makes you think how clean is the kitchen…

Beautifully renovated lime kilns. Attractive restaurant with delicious food. Also a lovely outdoor terrace in a beautiful location. Nice service. Lots of parking space and not far from the highway.

Nice location, everything else below standard and considerably overpriced. Not again.

I celebrated my birthday here today with a group of 25 people, including lunch and drinks in the lime kiln room. Coordination in advance was great; fast communication and great consideration was given. Even on the day itself, everything was ready on time, everything was beautifully decorated and the food was delicious. Extremely friendly and committed service and you pay a fair price for everything you get at this top location. Recommended, we will definitely come back.

Deze plek blijft voor ons altijd een zeer sfeervolle locatie. Leuk om in de oude ovens te zitten een bijzondere plek. Fijne bediening en lekker eten, maken het plaatje compleet.

This was the third time we ate here. You've come to the right place for a romantic atmosphere. There are 4 to 5 choices per course on the menu, but that is exactly what we like: less is more. The food is creatively served and always tastes good. Unfortunately you only get a portion of fries with your main course. Some vegetables or other appetizers wouldn't go amiss. Service wise it wasn't great this evening. The portion of fries only came after we had finished 90% of the main meal and a mistake was made with the desert so we had to wait quite a while for it. Furthermore, very nice and polite staff. Still, a very positive review and I recommend it to everyone to have a nice lunch or dinner here.

Had a delicious high tea at this beautiful location. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed and our coats were taken. We were then escorted to our beautifully decorated table. The waitress was cordial, friendly and presentable. We were well served and enjoyed the delicious food we were served. Very special location to eat, highly recommended!

De locatie is mooi en er is voldoende parkeergelegenheid. Qua eten viel het ons wat tegen. Zo hadden wij als voorgerecht de bisque, helaas was deze veel en veel te zoutig! Als tussengerecht buikspek, deze was erg lekker. Als hoofdgerecht hadden we ossenhaas, helaas was de friet koud maar door het lange wachten hoefden we geen nieuwe meer aangezien we niet nog langer wilden wachten. Als nagerecht lekker een bosbessen dessert en een lekker stoofperen dessert. In totaal hebben wij 3 uur gespendeert, de wachttijden tussen de gangen waren enorm en het was geen drukke avond! We vonden dit erg jammer. Ook met het drinken ging het niet allemaal zoals het zou moeten. Ook hier ging het weer om de wachttijd. De bediening was erg vriendelijk maar er is zeker nog verbetering! Kosten €90-€100 p.p.

Had a high tea today in honor of a baby shower. We had a separate room, which was nicely decorated by Villa Kalkoven. We were received and served super friendly and all the food was fantastic! In short, I really enjoyed it and highly recommended!

We expected a lot and were disappointed. table reserved for 5 people, no staff to be seen when entering, but a table was set for 5 people. Meanwhile, the kitchen staff sounded like they were having a lot of fun. A very nice young lady confirmed that it was our table. Everyone ordered a glass of wine, glasses were exchanged dirty and still dirty and not polished, same with the cutlery. Ordered a plate of bread for a tasty snack, initially forgot about it, then brought slices of white bread with tasteless hummus and a reasonable tasting tapenade. lunch dishes nothing to complain about, but not of the expected level. We are not shocked by €7 for a glass of wine, but they were very small glasses. The nicest young lady had to do it all on her own with help from the kitchen. We thought Villa Kalkhoven was a high-quality business, but we are disappointed In the meantime, the owner called and apologized and started preaching to bed. Sand over it

I previously gave 4 stars, but unfortunately I can't get any further than 3. The food was okay but no more than that. Three types of oysters but 2 did not really taste good. Main courses (fish) quite flat in taste and with garnishes it did not really come together. It's a pity that the cava was served in a normal glass (thoughtlessly, but still) and that the service seems a bit too nonchalant. For vegetarians, the food is what they buy: there is something on it but there is nothing to choose from. That's really out of date these days! It remains a beautiful location, but the content really deserves more attention and dedication; especially in relation to the high prices being asked.

Ordered spare ribs from Chicko Chicken, very tough and barely off the bone, tasteless! The worst spare ribs I've ever had. Threw everything away! Unfortunately, no response from the owner, even though I had left a comment on their own website, but it was deleted. They ask for a review, but apparently only want positive experiences, so disable all reviews!

The food was delicious! The salmon sandwich is especially delicious! If you, like me, have a GBP card, they'll happily halve the portions. A great service, something they don't have to offer, but are open to! Very helpful!

The staff was sparse, and the service was friendly but very poor. They never offered a second round of drinks, and reaching the staff was very difficult. Clearly a worse experience than in previous years.
