We have eaten at the restaurant (De Tippe) many times in the past.  Our experiences there have been somewhat mixed, from disappointing to wholly enjoyable.  This time was good but not exceptional.  We were seated immediately but waited li ger than expected for a menu and drunk orders.  The website for De Tippe showed a menu in english (not merely a translation) but a physical menu in English was not available in the restaurant (we had an english-speaking only guest with us).  All elements of the meal were well presented and tasty but our pork schnitzel (we all ordered it) was tough to chew and should have been more tender.

The first stop on our food tour and honestly it set the bar pretty high. The sommelier knew exactly what to pour with each course. That first dish alone was worth the walk over. Wish we&#39;d had more time to just sit and linger over the wine list.

The terrace is really nice for a quick stop. I had the mushroom soup with bread and it was honestly the highlight&mdash;creamy but not too heavy. My partner got the smash burger and it was a proper double, messy in the best way. Inside is cozy too. Only thing is it got a bit busy around noon, but fine for a casual bite.

Ordered the barbecued beef medium and it came exactly as asked. Sides were a nice mix too. Portion felt right, and the place had a good vibe.

The waffles were good, but honestly the service stood out&mdash;they brought everything to us across the street.

The lighting is warm without trying too hard, and the food matches that vibe. Had the grilled fish&mdash;simple but cooked properly. Service was friendly, no one hovering or rushing you out. Just a relaxed spot to sit and eat. Maybe slightly pricey for what it is, but I didn&rsquo;t mind.

The Christmas buffet was decent, lots of choice from fish to game. They handled the vegans well. Dessert spread was a nice touch.

Food was solid and the terrace really made it for me. Staff friendly enough. Just wish the service was a bit quicker.

Had my birthday dinner here and honestly the four courses were put together really nicely. They explained every dish when it came out, which I always appreciate. It&#39;s not cheap though, so don&#39;t come expecting a casual bite. I left full and satisfied, but my wallet felt it a bit 😅

Great value for the quality of food offered. The lunch menu has plenty of options and everything we tried was delightful.

The ribs were properly tender, good flavor. Solid stop if you&#39;re nearby and want something hearty. Service was fine, nothing fancy.

Four different menus, all of them solid. My wine pairing worked well with the ribeye.

Pulled pork burger was decent, but honestly the satay platter was the star. Portion size felt a bit small for what you pay. Retro decor is a nice touch though.
