De Pastorie › Lunch in Roermond
Looking for a lovely place to have lunch in Roermond? In the brasserie of De Pastorie you sit down during the day in a historic building right beside the cathedral. Coffee with cake, an extensive lunch menu and homemade pancakes, with a terrace under striped awnings less than three minutes from the Designer Outlet.
Anyone who wants lunch in Roermond is in the loveliest spot in the city at De Pastorie. Our brasserie at Grotekerkstraat 29 lies in the oldest part of the old town, with St Christopher's Cathedral literally around the corner. You walk in straight from the shopping streets, choose a table indoors in the historic ambience or outside on the terrace, and take all the time you like over a leisurely meal. No rush, no fuss over parking beside the motorway, just a seat at the table in the heart of Roermond.
That makes an afternoon at De Pastorie different from a sandwich on the corner. The listed building, the high ceilings and the thick walls give the place an atmosphere of its own, and the terrace under the striped awnings is exactly where you want to pause for a while. During the day it is a coming and going of guests out shopping, of locals meeting one another and of travellers discovering the city. A lunch in Roermond quite naturally becomes a little outing in itself, right in the middle of the day.
The lunch menu at De Pastorie is deliberately generous, so there is something to suit every moment of the day. If you come only for a cup of coffee with a slice of cake, that is perfectly fine; if you would like a full lunch, that works just as well. The kitchen prepares everything with care and works with fresh produce, in the relaxed style of a brasserie where you feel at home straight away.
A standing favourite during the day is our homemade pancakes, baked to a classic recipe. Sweet or savoury, big on the plate and made so well they leave you quietly content. It is exactly the kind of dish that brings guests back to Roermond: simple, honest and made with love. Anyone joining us with children is always well served by a pancake too.
The menu has vegetarian and gluten-free options, so almost everyone can join in the meal. Do you have an allergy or follow a particular diet? Feel free to ask our staff, and together we will see what is possible. If you would like to know in advance what the kitchen makes during the day, take a relaxed look at our menu online before you drop by.
You are warmly welcome for lunch at De Pastorie: we serve daily from 10.00 to 18.00. So there is no need to keep to a strict midday hour, whether you sit down early in the afternoon or only get round to a bite late in the day. Anyone who likes to start with a good breakfast can join us between 8.00 and 10.00; that is by reservation, so we have everything ready for you. That way your day flows smoothly from breakfast into the afternoon and on to lunch.
Ready in the evening for a more elaborate dinner with Limburg classics? Then you can read all about it on our page about the restaurant in Roermond. During the day the brasserie is the place for coffee, cake and a warm dish; in the evening the menu shifts along to dinner. So from the first cup to the last course there is always a reason to sit down.
De Pastorie is less than three minutes on foot from Designer Outlet Roermond, one of the largest outlet centres in Europe. Exactly where you want to catch your breath after shopping: you set the bags down, sink into a chair on the terrace and enjoy a quiet lunch in the historic old town, far from the bustle of the outlet. If you would like to combine a day of shopping with a stay, read how that works on our page about the hotel near Designer Outlet Roermond.
Many guests make a visit to De Pastorie the calm point of their day in Roermond. You shop in the morning, eat in peace with us and then head into the city towards the cathedral, the Munsterkerk or the Maasplassen. Because everything in the centre is within walking distance, there is no need to reach for the car between the shopping and the lunch.
At De Pastorie it does not stop at lunch. In the same listed building you will find our brasserie for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a chocolaterie with handmade bonbons. Round off your visit with an espresso and a bonbon, or take a box of chocolate home as a memento of your visit. That is how a lunch in Roermond at De Pastorie is never only about eating, but an afternoon to sink into completely. We keep the time free for it, and that is exactly the intention.
