The menu&rsquo;s huge, and honestly the food quality surprised me&mdash;way better than before. I had a veggie dish that was properly seasoned, not just thrown together. Portion size was decent for the price, which is rare around here. Only thing is if you&rsquo;re fully vegan, options get pretty thin. Still, I left full without feeling ripped off.

For &euro;33, the 3-course menu really surprised me. Portions are decent and the cooking feels way above that price point. I had the fish dish&mdash;cooked just right, flaky and moist. Place was pretty busy on a Thursday night, but service kept up fine. Already thinking about when I can go back to try the rest of the menu.

Nice spot for a drink. Kids liked the play area. Live music was decent, staff took requests without fuss. Drinks fine, nothing crazy. Good enough for a quick stop if you&#39;re in the area.

The gluten-free pasta was really good, you could tell they put effort into it. Nice spot for a catch-up with friends, just book a table first.

Loved the loungers outside &mdash; perfect for a lazy drink when the sun&rsquo;s out. Menu looked good on paper, though our food took a while to come. Not mad about it, just something to keep in mind if you&rsquo;re starving. I&rsquo;d still go back for the vibe alone.

The French onion soup was the standout. Rich, deep flavor, proper amount of cheese. Rest of the meal was decent, nothing wrong with it. Service was quick and friendly, no complaints there. I&#39;d come back for that soup alone.

Found this spot on a side street - really cozy inside. Had the spare ribs and they were proper good. Staff left us alone but were there when needed.

Stopped by for coffee and a slice of pie&mdash;staff were super friendly, even helped us pick since we don&rsquo;t speak Dutch. The pie was solid, though I wish the portion was a bit bigger. Coffee did the job too. Nice little spot if you&rsquo;re in the area.

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed the wild pasty special&mdash;still as good as the last time I had it. Place hasn&rsquo;t changed much, which I actually like. Staff recognized me, which never hurts. Only thing is it gets a bit busy around noon, but that&rsquo;s kind of expected. Solid spot if you&rsquo;re in the area.

Decent spot not far from the German border. Food was pretty good and prices fair. Service fine, nothing to complain about.

The pistachio scoop was proper creamy, not too sweet. Sat by the river watching boats go by, pretty chill spot. Got a double cone for under five euros, decent size. Place was a bit busy but the line moved fast. Would grab another one if I&#39;m in the area again.

Soto soup was pretty close to the real deal. Could&#39;ve used more heat though. Still, solid spot if you&#39;re craving Indonesian.

Small seating but the vibe is relaxed enough that it didn&#39;t bother me. Staff were helpful when I needed an extra chair. Food had good variety, especially for veggie options.

Stopped here after wandering around the chapel area &mdash; such a pretty spot to just sit and chill. Had a coffee with a slice of Limburg flan, which was nicely sweet without being too heavy. Staff were friendly and quick even though it was busy. Only thing is seating outside fills up fast, so grab a spot when you can 😄

Decent spot for a weekday dinner. The lighting gives it a relaxed vibe, not too bright or sterile. Menu has enough variety, and what I ordered was solid for the price. Service was quick and polite, no complaints there. Wouldn&#39;t go out of my way, but if you&#39;re in the area, it&#39;s a safe pick.

The pistachio gelato was spot on&mdash;creamy, not too sweet, and priced fair. Didn&#39;t care much about the decor, but the flavor did the talking.

The terrace really makes this place. Sat outside with some tapas and a glass of wine, didn&#39;t want to leave. Food was decent, nothing mind-blowing, but the vibe outside was just right. Service was a bit slow though, had to wait a while for the bill. Still, lovely spot for a lazy afternoon.

Fish and chips were solid, crispy batter and decent portion for the price. Staff didn&#39;t hover, which I liked. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area.

The tuna bagel was fresh, really fresh. They warmed it just enough, which I appreciated. Nice to find a spot that doesn&#39;t drown the fish in sauce. Music was a bit loud for my taste, but the vibe was fine. Staff friendly enough.

The all-you-can-eat spread here is pretty solid. Salmon sashimi was fresh and the lamb chops were juicy, especially during dinner. Ordering through the tablet is quick, but the 15-minute wait between rounds got a bit annoying when I was still hungry. Still, decent spot if you&#39;re in the mood for lots of variety.

Our Valentine&#39;s dinner was a memorable experience with beautifully presented dishes and friendly service from Romi. We can&#39;t wait to return!

Stopped by for a quick bite and the place was busier than I expected. Got the daily special, decent portion for the price. Location&#39;s super handy if you&#39;re in the area. Service was friendly but a bit slow, they were clearly slammed. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back on a quieter day.

Nice spot by the river. Terrace is lovely, music was decent. Just sat there with a drink, didn&#39;t rush. Chill vibe overall.

Food nicely decorated and tasted good, service very friendly. We were served complimentary a glass of sparkling wine and an Amuse Gueule to start with.
