Last Wednesday, I visited Villa Kalkoven for the first time with my mother to celebrate her 70th birthday. I really wanted to make it a special evening, with quality time for us together, and that was more than achieved! We enjoyed the entire evening immensely. The food was delicious, the service was perfect, and the atmosphere was wonderfully relaxed. What I found particularly thoughtful was that my mother was congratulated upon arrival and that there was a birthday card for her on the table. It is precisely these kinds of small gestures that make an evening extra special and ensure that someone truly feels like it is their birthday. We had a wonderful evening, and I will definitely be back here again. Thank you for the excellent care and for helping to create such a beautiful memory together with my mother!

Nice location, cozy decor. Good service. Although we had to wait a very long time for the next course. The food was very mediocre. Very little portion, too salty, an extra side of fries for 4.50 euros. If there were 10 fries in it, that was a lot.....That for 75 euros including drinks, excluding fries....

Had a lovely meal and received warm hospitality at Villa Kalkoven! I ended up here after a drive from Amsterdam, and I certainly don't regret it. The staff working that evening were very hospitable. I was served very well by the manager and the other employees. I also found it a very nice moment when one of the owners, Stefan, came to explain a few things. About what? I recommend paying attention to the details surrounding the Kalkoven ;) The concept, just as refined as the interior and the ambiance, creates the complete picture that, in my opinion, you really have to experience for yourself. Villa Kalkoven is still fully developing, so the entire atmosphere will be complete next time. Definitely recommended, and I will certainly come back here!

Meticulously taken care of An evening out for dinner that is perfect from start to finish. The industrial monument by the water immediately has atmosphere, and the decor makes it both rugged and cozy. The food was super tasty and beautifully presented. You can taste and see that the cooking is done with care. Owner Stefan and his team understand how to give guests an evening they look back on fondly. From arrival to departure, everything was perfectly arranged, and you can tell that the people working here enjoy their work. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

✨ The hidden gem of Meppel? Villa Kalkoven! Upon entering, you step directly into a world of luxury, atmosphere, and ambiance. And the best part? For €75, you get a complete experience here where there is a story behind everything. That makes it so personal. The dishes? They just glide into your mouth. 😍 For true connoisseurs, this is definitely a place to try. What I also loved: they work so much with local products. Think of butter from Klaas de Boer. You can just taste that attention and love went into it. As far as I'm concerned, Villa Kalkoven is truly one of those hidden gems that makes you happy when you discover it. Not just because of the food, but precisely because of the atmosphere, the stories, the local products, and the whole experience. Are you in Meppel and don't know Villa Kalkoven yet? Then I would definitely put this on your list. 🥂🍽️ — Felicia

I went here for lunch with a friend. We were both very impressed by the service and the atmosphere. When I walked in, I actually got the impression that this was for people with a large budget. However, it was very affordable and the portions were fine too. In the restrooms, there were hand towels instead of paper from a dispenser, which indicated a touch of luxury. The waiter was also very friendly and attentive. I would definitely come here more often. I think this would also be a great place for a wedding, for example. The only downside, in my opinion, is that it looks a bit run-down from the outside. Perhaps this was also because they were building new apartments at the end of the park; in that case, I understand that you might be a bit late. But absolutely no reason not to come here more often!

What a wonderful evening we had at Villa Kalkoven! The location is truly beautiful: dining in and around the historic lime kilns by the water creates a unique and cozy atmosphere. We opted for the Unlimited Stylish Dinner (€75 p.p.) with an extensive 4-course set menu including all drinks, wines, and cocktails. The food, made with local ingredients, tasted delicious and the plates were beautifully presented. Additionally, the service was incredibly friendly, attentive, and efficient.

We were professionally welcomed with a glass of prosecco. Afterwards, we were allowed to choose whether we wanted to sit inside or outside. Because of the lovely weather, we opted for the beautiful garden, where you can sit in a charming and peaceful atmosphere. The dinner consists of a 4-course set menu and includes all drinks (from 0.0% beer to cocktails) for €75. We found the service to be very friendly and professional. We had a wonderful and enjoyable evening, and it is definitely worth repeating!! P.S. The bus stops practically in front of the restaurant, so the bus driver was our designated driver 😉

🚨 Strongly advised against! Very bad experience. We are never coming back!! Waited 2.5 hours for my main course. We sat down at the table at 5:00 PM. It didn't arrive until 7:30 PM. Way too expensive food, very small portions, taste; nothing special. No manager present, 'the bosses' were busy with other things. With 1,000 reviews, I expected something better from this amateur operation.

For my mother's 66th birthday, the three of us went to Villa Kalkoven in Meppel. We made a same-day reservation and were able to get a table immediately that evening – great! The all-inclusive concept is truly top-notch: 4 courses for €75 p.p., including unlimited wine, cocktails, mocktails, and soft drinks. No surprises afterwards. The menu arrived nicely packaged in a stamped envelope, and there is plenty of choice for each course. The veal cheek was fantastic, the wines and cocktails were tasty, and the desserts were good too. A unique location in the old lime kilns and a young, enthusiastic team. All in all, a successful evening. We will definitely be back! Additional remarks: • Upon arrival (we were the first guests), the cava was offered as “with or without alcohol” – that could be stated more politely as “alcohol-free or with alcohol”. • Personally, I found the steak tartare a bit unbalanced due to too much topping; as a result, the tartare itself didn't come into its own as much. • The stuffed pasta came with a pale bread roll and a dollop of plain butter – it could use a bit more flavor (e.g., salted or pepper butter). • With the tenderloin, there was no steak knife, only a bread knife – this made cutting difficult. The Madeira sauce, however, was amazing. • The guinea fowl was a bit disappointing for one of us. • A portion of fries was not included in the all-inclusive concept and had to be paid for separately. Minor points, but the concept and atmosphere more than make up for it!

Location, atmosphere, welcome, and menu (from the smallest starter to the petit fours with coffee) were tip-top for the €75 concept that appealed to us. Highly recommended in a lovely setting just outside Meppel. Also very tastefully decorated and with pleasant acoustics. The music never overpowered, but every now and then well-chosen songs could be heard fitting the good vibes.

Title: Good food, but unfortunately a significant disappointment in the service We recently dined at this restaurant, drawn in by the promising concept. Although we were not dissatisfied with the food itself — the quality was good and the portions were more than sufficient — the service provided unfortunately overshadowed our experience considerably. The service was very disorganized and came across as unprofessional to us. For instance, we ordered water immediately upon arrival, but after repeatedly asking, it was only served with the main course. The other drinks also often took a long time to arrive and did not come to the table at the same time as the dishes. Additionally, the pace of the kitchen was very rushed. The courses were served one after another at a high tempo, leaving no room for a natural pause or the possibility to delay the main course after the first two courses. We noticed that we were not the only ones experiencing this unrest; at other tables and while settling the bill, we heard various guests express their dissatisfaction with the service provided. The restaurant's concept looks very nice, but unfortunately, the execution and especially the service fell far short that evening. We left feeling unsatisfied and will therefore not visit this restaurant again. Naturally, we mentioned this when settling the bill. Unfortunately, this has also made the threshold for trying another branch of this chain too high for us. It is a shame, because with better organization, this could have been a very successful evening.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at De Kalkoven! We sat outside in the lovely sunshine, and the food was truly incredibly delicious. A special thank you to Doutzen for the amazing service. She took her time with us, offered expert advice, and knew how to recommend a perfectly matching wine for every dish. No question was too much trouble, and her knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience complete. In addition to her professionalism, there was also room for fun, genuine conversations that went beyond just the food. That gave the evening a very personal and cozy atmosphere.

We dined here as a party of three. We noticed a few things. The service is not commensurate with the quality of the food. The table was not entirely clean. The plates were placed down roughly. The menu does not list prices; they arrived in an envelope. We were unfamiliar with this restaurant. The selection was limited and there were long waits. The food looked well-presented, but certainly not filling. The bill was very substantial and definitely did not reflect the quality. We will not be returning.

A high tea could have been wonderful. Unfortunately, the superb location did not compensate for the poor attention to its guests. At least not on the day we were there. The tea didn't arrive, so we had to ask at the bar. The amount of hot water wasn't enough to pour the first round. So we had to ask again. An extra order outside of the high tea... didn't arrive. Didn't ask again. Bitterballen between a bun... the quality was really far below par. Unfortunately, a bad experience. Normally I leave it at the experience. But you don't want to subject other guests to this who want to experience a real high tea.

There is nothing to complain about regarding the food itself. The taste is good, and the preparation is too. However, the portions are really on the small side. If you order the duck breast, for example, you don't even get half a breast. For a nice full belly, you might be better off going somewhere else. There were no side dishes with the main course. We definitely missed that. We waited well over an hour for the starter. The main course was served well over 2 hours and 15 minutes after we arrived. All in all, we sat for 3 hours for 4 small dishes. The terrace wasn't completely full, and there was no one inside. However, the garden is a lovely place to sit, and another plus is that you can drink unlimited amounts. Was it worth the 75 euros p.p.? Not if you don't consume a lot of alcohol. The staff is also friendly. Normally, I like to leave a review when paying the bill, but unfortunately, I wasn't asked if everything was to our liking. Overall, it certainly wasn't bad. Will we come back here again? I don't think so.

Beautiful place! I was there for a business lunch. We were taken to the terrace; there was no option to sit inside? Unfortunately, the tables weren't clean; there was still sand on them. It was cleaned after 10 minutes, though. I ordered lunch and received the wrong thing. I tried to get in touch but couldn't. So I just walked inside with my plate and asked if it was really for me. We had a bit of a back-and-forth argument, and I pointed out that I had definitely ordered something else. I just ate it anyway, and it was tasty too. I did receive an apology later. I don't want to give a negative review because it is a beautiful place. But perhaps there are a few things you could dot the i's and cross the t's? Mow the grass, trim the hedge, and clean up some mess upon arrival? Make the best of it 👍

The location is beautiful and the restaurant is lovely inside as well. We had reserved a High Tea. The service could have been better. We arrived at 12:30 and were quite hungry, but didn't receive our food until 1:30 PM. When we mentioned this, we were told that this was standard procedure because otherwise things would go too fast. It would have been nice if they had coordinated this with us; for us, it took a bit too long. We had also communicated some dietary requirements in advance. On the phone, this was not a problem. In the kitchen, things hadn't gone entirely smoothly; that can happen and it was resolved, but we felt a bit embarrassed, as if what we had communicated was a nuisance. The High Tea was fine, but all in all, it unfortunately did not meet our expectations, and we felt the price-quality ratio was a bit disproportionate.

We went for dinner here together at the end of April, just the two of us. A beautiful and almost "fairy-tale-like" location. The reception was also very polite; we were greeted warmly at the door and offered a glass of champagne. There was also the option of an alcohol-free option. Then, at the table, we were served an amuse-bouche and the concept was explained to us. Everything is beautifully and tastefully decorated. The acoustics are also very pleasant. Even when it is busy, you can clearly hear your company. A very beautiful and well-executed concept that, combined with the experience of this unique location, is truly worthwhile. For starters, we had the tasting platter of various appetizers. As an intermediate course, we had the crayfish bisque. For the main course, I had the duck and my friend had the beef tenderloin. Very well prepared and very flavorful. For dessert, I had the Semi Fredo, and my friend had the coffee mousse. Thank you, Team Villa Kalkoven, and keep up the good work! We enjoyed ourselves immensely and would love to come back again.

Had a lovely evening here. They had a new concept for 75 euros: a four-course dinner with various drinks. The service is attentive, and the food is flavorful and very nicely presented.

Wonderful concept. One price for both food and drinks. A changing menu for both vegetarians and regulars. Absolutely recommended.

Visit on Easter Monday, with a surprise menu. The service was very junior; they had remembered the instructions from the kitchen well, allowing them to clearly explain what the dishes were, but any sense of experience was nowhere to be found. An example of this is that they forgot to serve the wine with the courses, even though it wasn't busy. Furthermore, the staff were smoking by the entrance. The food was decent, but had little to do with Easter. A mix of everything, heavily processed with a thick, lumpy sauce. For the meat dish, we were not asked if medium or well-done, and the portion was far too large. Ultimately, the dish was unappetizing to look at; the mountain of meat lay in a large red puddle, and the proportions and balance were all off. The leeks were full of sand and very tough. In short, for the price of 75 euros per person, we certainly did not eat with satisfaction.

Nice place, clear concept: 4-course menu incl. drinks 75.00 Beautiful dishes, tasty wine. The table in one of the lime kilns adds to the atmosphere. Thanks for the lovely evening! Also a nice spot for a birthday dinner or drinks, by the way.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Villa Kalkoven, where sustainability and local food are highly valued. They also serve excellent organic wines. A beautiful new concept in an atmospheric setting.

We participated in the Easter brunch, but unfortunately, we were not satisfied. When making the reservation and upon arrival, we indicated that vegetarian preferences needed to be taken into account and that three of the four people do not eat fish. However, little was done about this. Several fish dishes appeared on the table with the remark that we should “just divide the rest up.” Additionally, the food was served without any explanation, the bread rolls were hard, and we had to wait more than an hour for the food. When the wait staff asked if everything was to our liking and we indicated that it was not, it was confirmed that the kitchen still struggles with vegetarian options and that they themselves felt there were few choices available. All in all, it simply didn't add up: the service, the coordination, and the quality of the food were completely out of proportion to the price. For a luxury Easter brunch, you really should expect more.

Had Easter brunch today, Easter Sunday 2026; it doesn't even reach a 7. Bread rolls too hard, impossible to cut through, cheese was already sweating. The tartare has been sitting out too long, coffee served cold, service bad, very long wait, when they clear the tables they leave half of it behind. Atmosphere is reasonable. Coffee that was served cold is put on the bill, though. And all that for €185, scandalous. But you have had reviews before: tartare bad, hard bread rolls, and after a year nothing has been resolved yet, quite sad. Not worth repeating.

We had Easter brunch today. For €50 pp (including drinks to bridge the endless wait), we waited at least 1.5 hours for a small cup of soup, and at least half an hour later, a meager lunch. 1.5 mini bake-off rolls per person. Lukewarm coffee. When we mentioned it when paying, there was barely any reaction. The restaurant is apparently trying to squeeze every last drop out of the customer, cannot handle the number of people, and offers the absolute minimum. We went home to eat a proper lunch. Very disappointing.

It was truly beyond expectations. I had wanted to eat there for years but never got around to it. Until last night. Wow, what an atmosphere and the food was all surprisingly delicious. A solid 10 for the service and the chefs. We will definitely be back.

We had a delicious meal! The service was friendly, and you could even have a nice chat with them about, for example, the history of the Kalkovens. The food and drinks were of high quality, and there was something for everyone. I enjoyed the homemade cocktails; they were just a little different from what I am used to. I would definitely come back!

What a wonderful experience at Villa Kalkoven! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed, and the atmosphere immediately felt warm and relaxed. The restaurant has a beautiful ambiance, and you can tell that a lot of attention has been paid to details. The food was truly top-notch: flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with care. The service was also friendly, attentive, and professional without being intrusive. We felt truly welcome. In short, a place where everything is just right. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be back!

We've had several delicious meals here. That's precisely why we've also celebrated several family celebrations at Villa Kalkoven in Meppel, and we've never regretted it. The location is beautiful and atmospheric, the food is always excellent, and everything is perfectly taken care of. The staff is friendly, hospitable, and makes you feel truly welcome. We'd love to return and definitely recommend it for a dinner or family celebration.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to try the food. Shortly after arriving, my husband became unwell, so we unfortunately had to leave. Fortunately, this wasn't a problem at all, and the staff were very understanding and accommodating. We hope to return soon to enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner.

Short on staff, service was friendly but very poor. A second round of drinks was never offered, and getting in touch with the staff was very difficult. Clearly a worse experience than in recent years.
