Restaurant De Bokkerijder — Restaurant in Vaals

NO RECOMMEND

We visited the city from Dortmund and decided to stop by this restaurant for a meal. Before entering, we politely asked the staff outside if there were available tables, and they kindly informed us that there were plenty of seats and invited us in.

After sitting for nearly 30 minutes, not a single staff member approached us to offer menus or take our order. The servers hurried past us multiple times, casting irritated glances in our direction. We were a party of two adults and one two-year-old child, and yet, no one bothered to check on us. Eventually, after waiting for 30 minutes, I called over two staff members, but both responded by saying they were not serving us, providing no explanation before quickly walking away.

Frustrated, we went to the bar to ask if we could place an order. To our surprise, the bartender rudely informed us that they would not be serving us because the kitchen was too busy. What we wanted to know was why no one had informed us earlier that the kitchen was overwhelmed and unable to take more orders. Instead, we were left waiting unnecessarily for half an hour.

It would have been courteous for them to inform us upon entering that the kitchen was closed or not accepting further orders. Instead, we were left waiting without any communication, and when we finally inquired, there was no apology—only a dismissive attitude that made it seem as though we were at fault for sitting down. The way we were treated was extremely disrespectful and...

The restaurant, located in a picturesque setting, offered a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape. The interior decor was also impressive, with a beautiful combination of stone and wood , giving the place a cozy and relaxed atmosphere.

The staff was very friendly and attentive, making us feel welcomed and comfortable throughout our visit. The service was efficient, and our food arrived promptly and warm.

We ordered the onion soup, and it was really delicious! The soup was perfectly seasoned, with a rich and flavorful broth, and the onions were perfectly caramelized. It was served with a bread that complemented the soup perfectly.

The bathroom was also clean and well-maintained, which is always a plus point for any restaurant.

To add to the ambiance, there was a nice song playing in the background, which added to the cozy and relaxed environment.

Overall, I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good restaurant with a beautiful view, delicious food, and excellent service. We will definitely be...

The food wasn't special. I had a Giant croque and a Tasz cappuccino (as it seems like mentioned the most in Gg review).

Both the outdoor and indoor seatings are nice with good view, depending on your preference (soak with sunlight and nature or warm cozy).

The server took very long time to bring food out. When checking out, after waiting for 20', i decided to come to the cashier inside for a check instead of keep waiting. Imagine what if I walk away after my meal 😀 probably no one knows. They also charge me 1€ for ketchup when i ask for it 🫠 it's not much € but what kind of restaurant charges customers for basic condiments ?!

After all, i would rather sit at this restaurant with a relax country vibe and view instead of the restaurants right by the three countries flags area with lots...
