    Rillettes and sticky toffee pudding (with vanilla ice cream) are my top suggestions. Great for children who can run around and use the drawing kit (small ones) or play outside (big ones).

    What's not to like? I'm always having Steak Tartare over here, but every other pick from the menu is a great pick!

    Perfect place for breakfast. Try the salmon sandwich! Interior architecture with industrial style. Cozy seating at the water outside.

    20 Years of 'French' culinary simplicity and outstanding service by a truly dedicated young staff. Epic.

    A very authentic and cozy restaurant in an old industrial building that used to be an engine room for water pumping station. Nice service! Sea food was great, lamb - not really.

    Yes, it's noisy and big and nothing is spectacular, but everything is definitely good. That is the whole point. Do not leave here without having the steak tartar. That would also be missing the point.

    Reliable quality. Highly recommend the caesar salad, fruits de mer, lamb chops, and the risotto with goat's cheese. Don't miss the 'gemberbolus van Theeboom' for dessert.

    Enjoyed the King Crab entree, lots of soft meat. Main course was halibut, again a huge piece of well prepared fish, not dry but soft and succulent. White burgundy by Louis Jadot. Price/Quality=Great

    Nothing spectacular: pretty pricey for what you get. The presentation of the dish looks like students cook here. Ok place for casual hangouts but I wouldn't return here.
