A central Apeldoorn lunchroom and wine bar with consistently well-liked sandwiches, salads, toasties and wine, plus accommodating event service, though occasional service delays, one serious service complaint and a current menu available only in Dutch merit attention.
Lunch- en Wijnbar Rembrandt delivers solid food quality anchored by well-executed lunch dishes and wine snacks, supported by attentive service that keeps guests engaged. The Marktstraat terrace setting and warm interior create genuine appeal, though modest space comfort and occasional service inconsistencies prevent a stronger showing. Consistent execution across repeat visits establishes reliable value for the mid-range lunch crowd.
In the heart of Apeldoorn, Rembrandt works as an easygoing lunchroom that also knows how to pour a good glass of wine. Guests describe a cozy interior, a pleasant terrace and friendly attention; one typical impression is of a place where staff quickly add a parasol or offer water when the day gets difficult. It is relaxed rather than formal, and central enough for a convenient town stop. The food is polished, accessible lunch fare: generously filled sandwiches, salads, toasties, quesadillas and shareable wine snacks. The current menu is not adventurous fine dining, but it is broader than basic café food, with vegan and vegetarian choices alongside chicken, fish and meat. Review favorites include the Rembrandt sandwich, carpaccio, quesadillas and toasties; bao buns were praised in older reviews but are not on the supplied current menu. Service is usually warm and capable, although busy periods can stretch kitchen timing and one serious service complaint should not be dismissed. Families should find the menu workable, especially with toasties, familiar sandwiches, chips, falafel and straightforward salads. Reviews mention a group with babies being accommodated comfortably, and larger family or celebration groups are handled well. There is no separate children’s menu in the supplied data, so very young or picky eaters may need to share from the regular menu rather than order a dedicated kids’ plate.

It is relaxed and welcoming, but busy periods can mean long waits, a Dutch-only menu, outdoor noise, and a higher bill once drinks are added.
Expect a cozy central lunchroom with a pleasant terrace and friendly service, plus some noise and occasional busyness at peak times.
