A short walk distant from our hotel, near the Centraal Station, this restaurant caters to the locals. The chef is very creative. Do accept the maitre d'o advice reganrding the daily menu and the wine. Don't miss the desserts. For it's value this restaurant is inexpensive. More

Friendliest staff. Brilliant chef, and a separate "Asparagus menu" for the season. Liked it so much we rebooked for 2 nights later. Will make a beeline straight there next time we are in town. More

After reading other TripAdvisor reviews, I decided to take 14 customers here. It was a very enjoyable evening. I love the location on a quiet canal storefront and the owner gave us a semi-private space near the front. It was never too loud to talk, which can be a real problem in many restaurants. The food was very good with... More

Hemelse Modder ticks all of the boxes for me! The menu is very varied and so provides a great choice. The food is extremely well prepared; all three courses tasted delicious. I started with ham pate with home-made piccalilli and toast. For my main course I had braised steak in Guinesss with a plum and orange sauce, with creamed potato... More

We had an excellent meal in this laid back and stylish restaurant. The menu had a real durch feel to it but in a modern way. Seafood croquettes, a brilliant stuffed onion vegetarian main and a desert named after the restaurant (heavenly mud, chocolate mousse) were the highlights. We had a great chat with the chef as my wife would... More

I had heard about this restaurant which turned out to be very close to our hotel, the Grand Amrath. Very friendly welcome, and we had a really good meal of from the set menu - choice of 3 or 4 courses.. We both had a sea food starter and grilled sea bream, plus dessert. With an aperitif and half litre... More

We were here with a group of approx 15 business people - not the easiest clients to handle. But the staff did great, very kind and quick service. We had a set menu, and I can remember the excellent wines that came along. More

Found this out-of-the-way gem on a recent weekend break. Simple food with local ingredients cooked brilliantly. My partner and I had cockles and mussels for starter that would have made Molly Malone envious in her grave. We then had perfectly cooked pork and entrecote. The cabbage with my steak was cooked to perfection. Great service... really lovely atmosphere.. I could... More

I had the sea bass and the chocolate mousse, they were both great. If you go here you need to have the mousse. Intimate atmosphere. Pretty pricey, even for Europe. And as others have noted it's a small place so you'll wait, which is fine for a business meal where you are talking, etc. More
