Was visiting Deventer while in The Netherlands for a conference, and a few of us were looking for a place to eat with patio seating. Found De Rode Kater, got a seat, and ordered lunch. I got the brie sandwich and it was absolutely *amazing.* It was open faced, so a bit awkward to actually eat, but high quality bread, delicious smooth cheese, and light, crisp veggies that were perfect for a summer afternoon. Finished off with a nice, quality coffee.
The only reason it doesn't get the full five stars is that service was a bit slow, and since we had an afternoon event planned, we ended up rather anxiously checking the time and waiting for the service.
So if you're here for a leisurely lunch and on no kind of a time crunch, definitely five stars. Otherwise, give yourself an hour and change for lunch. read more
