Grand Cafè "der Vagenbond" in Lichtenau

We come here several times a year and it is always great. The schnitzels are delicious and the beer nice and cold! Definitely recommended for a delicious meal!

Whenever we are in the area, we always stop by! Having fun with RJ and his schnitzel with mushroom cream sauce is unsurpassed. Highly recommended!

Atmospheric location, with a nice host...in short, a recommendation

Had a delicious meal at Der Vagenbond, and sat at the bar with the men, definitely recommended together with the beautiful Challet, the weekend away will certainly be continued. 😁👍

Delicious food. A lot of food for little. Good service, nice place.

Very cozy, we were sitting nearby in a house Feriendorf, Lichtenau, in Germany. We ate satay and schnitzel with 7 people at the vagabond. Robert Jan has good service and is a pleasant host.

Just a cozy restaurant. Very nice meal with friends. Service was great

Very tasty food and a super nice host. Well located for motorcycle excursionists. Gladly again

Had a nice meal on the way back to the Netherlands! Fresh satay, meatball and hamburger. Delicious fries and fresh salad! Nice atmosphere & very friendly host (LBB 😇). We will definitely come again when we are passing through! Just 10 minutes from the A44, highly recommended!

Delicious food, friendly and pleasant welcome. The owner does everything himself, hats off!

Very tasty food, just right after hiking. Very friendly host who has one or two beer specialties in the cellar...

We spent the night in Haus Dewenter, and the café-restaurant Der Vagebond is located in the same building. Even though we were out of season and it was therefore very quiet, we were received very friendly and the food tasted good.

Really good, honest food, simple atmosphere, host a real original

A I quote “pilgrim friendly cafe” where dogs are also welcome. The apple pie and the milk coffee were delicious. The service was very friendly and nice.

Certainly great as a beer garden and excursion restaurant. Sola to eating out.

Delicious schnitzel eaten. Nice host, large selection of dishes. Also ok in terms of price.

Very tasty food and positive price-performance ratio... thumbs up

Great location with a great host. Plus delicious food and drinks. What more could you want?

5 stars from us! It was really delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. The owner was really nice and had nice contact with guests. He gave us tips on where to go, really nice. We did all the things he suggested, it was super fun! It was a very nice atmosphere and super tasty food, so we definitely recommend this restaurant! Greetings from holiday home number 6

A bit remote, but very comfortable. Delicious food and super nice service. Thanks The 2 eBikers from the Ruhr area

We stopped by on our way from Belgium to Prague on vacation around Europe, and had great burgers, schnitzel, and a sausage with ‘Dutch’ fries. The service was exceptional! We will definitely come back next time we’re driving through. Thanks so much.

Good food, good quality and price

Super nice Dutch innkeeper. First class food at reasonable prices. A real experience on our hike on the Eggeweg. Despite our late arrival, we were offered the entire varied menu. Delicious vegetarian dishes!

Fantastic pitstop in a lovely garden setting. Worth a (minor) detour

Spontaneously got off the A44 and looked for something to eat. Very friendly, super tasty. Always my pleasure. Highly recommended.

Very nice to sit down, delicious beer and really good food for a reasonable price. It was nice :)

The food was amazing- we were exhausted from our 8hr drive and we were able to refresh ourselves. Make sure to oder the Brotkorb and the magic sauce

We came across this location by chance. Very friendly host. The food was excellent and freshly prepared. Ambience very cozy, clean and tidy. You have to wait a bit, but it's worth it!

Very beautiful outside and inside. The food is always very tasty. The service is uniquely good. You can bring your dog.

Nice server and a tasty schnitzel, I would recommend it!

After a long day of skiing we ended up here for a delicious dinner for two. We arrived relatively late in the evening and yet we were well received. The food was delicious and it was on the table quickly. The host Robert-Jan is of Dutch descent and came to have a chat and thank us for coming.

Food was good, service too, ambience too. The parking lot is a little hidden behind the house, so we drove past it in the dark. Highly recommended!

A place where you enjoy staying. A friendly Dutchman🙂

Delicious food. Fast and friendly service.

The food was great again and of course always a friendly welcome 👍🏻😊

Very cozy restaurant with delicious food. Very friendly service.

Always my pleasure. Price performance great. Cozy

Delicious food, friendly Dutch chef who likes to have a chat. Food was good, fresh and more than enough. Recommended!

Een gezellige grand café met een huiselijke sfeer, lekker eten en een vriendelijke/ gezellige eigenaar Robert.

Only a few minutes from the Autobahn, really nice atmosphere and excellent food. The owner is really nice, speaks German, Dutch and English. Good place to stop for the night and kitchen open till 10

Absolut Klasse! Super Essen! Vielen lieben Dank

Der beste Burger, den ich je gegessen habe! Alles mit Liebe zubereitet. Super!

Super lecker ! Der Gastgeber ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Wir kommen wieder.

Sehr freundlicher Wirt , macht auch mal länger wenn man später anreist u. Is für jeden Wunsch offen , man fühlt sich wie zu Hause

Sehr nette Location, netter Wirt! Alles top, kommen gerne wieder!!

Very nice place to eat and drink beers in the garden with the views. It’s quite the serene place. Certainly worth to drive to or visit! The restaurant is dog-friendly! Als Nederlander extra leuk dat de kok ook Nederlands is (te zien op de kaart), maar alle typische Duitse schnitzels zijn er ook. Er is ook een groot grasveld, waar je denk ik ook wel lekker kan picknicken. Er zijn ook meerdere biertjes waar je van kan genieten. :)

Spontan von der Autobahn runter um ne Kleinigkeit zu kauen und hier den optimalen Ort dafür gefunden. Essen war lecker (Salat mit Räucherlachs und Nudeln mit Walnuss Gorgonzola) und auch das Drumherum hat gut gepasst! Empfehlenswert!

Bardzo smaczny sznycel, przyjazny kucharz/właściciel, sala ma fajny klimat. Polecam👍🏻

Sympathiek café en restaurant. Aangename sfeer, eenvoudig eten van prima kwaliteit.

Ein wunderbarer Ort mit einem wunderbaren Besitzer

Heerlijk gegeten. Goed gevuld broodje hamburger gehad. Prachtige bar aanwezig. Tot de volgende keer!

Sind morgens mit dem Moped vorbeigefahren und hatten Kaffeedurst ... wurden freundlich begrüßt und durften noch ans Frühstücksbuffet . Tolle Wirtsleute 👍👍👍

Gutes essen und sehr nette bedienung. Schone garten und herliches bier. Mein freund Raymond Prost war super zufrieden. Vielen dank fur den schonen abend Robert-Jan!!!

Halt Holländisch, aber ein Unikat. Phantastico. Großer Biergarten und flotter Service. Und nicht zu vergessen : Belgisches Bier 👌🍺

Ein schönes Ambiente und ein netter Wirt,was will man mehr...Wir waren heute hier,und haben super gegessen zu erschwinglichen Preisen...Ein nettes Gespräch mit dem Wirt noch inklusive 😀Wir kommen gerne wieder. Sehr empfehlenswert

Bestellung schnell und lecker, immer wieder gerne

Super Essen , nicht lange warten , sehr bemüht

Sehr gemütliches Restaurant, mit super leckerem Essen. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und hatten einen tollen Abend dort. Wir kommen sicher gerne wieder. Für längere Abende lädt das angrenzende Hotel zum übernachten ein.

Ein sehr netter Wirt.... 😀 Das Essen war lecker und die Preise sind gut. Einfach unkompliziert und alles sauber. Eine Empfehlung....

War alles wieder zur besten Zufriedenheit, wie immer. Gehe gerne wieder hin.

Echt lekker. Selten so lecker holländische Spezialitäten gegessen, mitten in NRW. Die Frikkandel spezial ist ein Gedicht. Absolut empfehlenswerte Einkehr, direkt am Eggeweg. Hunde erlaubt... Tot ziens und bis bald.

In Blankenrode gelegen mit einem lockeren Chef (Koch) aus den Niederlanden. Entsprechend gibt es holländische Pommes, Frikadellen und Bittergarnitur - und etliches mehr, auch vegetarisches. Das Essen war lecker und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt. Im Haus gibt es auch Übernachtungen und die Gäste (überwiegend Monteure) schienen sehr zufrieden zu sein.
