My wife and I ate here in March 2014 for the 2nd time - in fact we drove a long distance to the Achterhoek section of the Netherlands especially to be able to eat here again.
Yvonne, who runs the restaurant together with her husband & chef Barry, is an extremely hospitable and warm-hearted hostess, who will go through great lengths to make her guests feel at home. She even invited us to come and have a look at the newly revised section in the back of the restaurant, which has been improved considerably and is now more in style with the Canadian homely look and feel of the front of the restaurant (although for some reviewers the deco is a bit too much - we were fine with it and after all, this is a Canadian restaurant). Like our previous meal, we thoroughly enjoyed the culinary experience and nice atmosphere, starting off with Canadian whisky and good wines. We both enjoyed the buffalo pastrami as our starter. Mains for my wife was the Alaska salmonfilet with maple/mustard crust in a Grand Marnier & orange sauce, while I chose the Caribou filet with Saskatoon berries. Both were super, and done to perfection. These were accompanied by potato wedges, their famous pears in Maple sauce (I had to stop my wife from eating all of it as I also wanted some), cooked vegetables and salad. This great meal ended with one Grand Dessert - shared between us - again a big treat.
Total bill including a bottle of very good red wine was around € 100.
We will definitely be back!

This restaurant is on a hill a little bit outside the village Holten. The accomadation is very informal like a warm house. Specially when it is cold outside the sphere inside is very warm. In summer time there is aspacious Terrace with a nice vieuw down side the hill. The kitchen is of a good quality and a very reasonable price/quality relation.

Very good food for a reasonable price (3 courses for under €40) and great service as well. Good choice between restaurant Seating area, more formal bistro and also outside. There are two menus, with a cheaper option of €27,50 for a 3 course dinner...also good quality but simpler.

't Wapen van Markelo is a family-owned and run restaurant. Grandfather, father and mother and two kids are involved here. It is a beautifully laid-out place with a bar on one side and the dining facility away from the bar. In the far corner is the "alcove", where I and four friends were seated. The service was great and very friendly, as one only find in this part of The Netherlands. Great wines, wonderful hors d'oeuvres and lots to choose from in entrees. No one rushes you, we spent 3 hours talking and eating. The cost was quite reasonable, as wine was consumed (2 glasses each), everyone had an appetizer and main course. Total with tip 180 Euro. If ever you are in Markelo (Twente, Overijssel), make sure you make a reservation. It is worth your while.
5. Campanile Il

Reviewed By Mars V - Lochem, The Netherlands
Markelo has not much to offer as far as good food is concerned. Welcome exception to this poor conclusion is il campanile, where proud Italians honour their country by serving delicious Italian food. Apart from the crispy pizza's and pasta's, there is much to enjoy of other Italian specialties, always prepared with fresh ingredients. Recommendable is the fixed menu, daily offered at a fair price. And the winecard is good enough to satisfy "connaisseurs". Living nereby, my wife and I love to visit this restaurant on a regular base.

Great hospitality. Fair prices, Good food. Nice places to sit both in- and out-doors. Wonderful forest to walk in straight from their Terrace. Gea is one of the quickest and most pleasant people to serve you. Nice and old building that accomodates bypassers or groups. Maintained with respect for history and surrounding living nature.

After church we went as a 19 strong family to this place for a pancake lunch. The place with its many nooks and crannies in several buildings worked magic with our grandchildren.
We had great difficulty weaning them away from the big size trampoline.
We'll be back!

This is the kind of place you'll get a no nonsense meal. It's good food, well prepared and in line with the local surroudings: they serve a lot of game dishes. We had a great evening, with helpfull staff, and we had our desert near the fireplace. If you're in the area, worth checking this place out.

On our way home there was a big traffic accident so the police shut down the highway. Since it was dinnertime we decided to look for a place to eat and found this very nice place. Very childfriendly, the even had a playcorner for the little ones so our grandson could play in between the dishes. Forvour grandson they had a three or two course meal for a reasonable price and with about 5 maincourses to choose from
I wasn't that hungry so I ordered the thai beef salad, which was a little spicy and very tasty. My hubby had the peanutsoup with chicken, followed by a nice steak. Our daughter the bouillebaise followed by a nice fishdish. And the little one enjoyed a nice tomatosoup a friendly faced pancake and a very nice special icecream in a bunny.
They also let him choose a little present at the end.
Iff we are in the neighbourhood again we will stop over again, good place, good food at reasonable prices and very friendly staff
