Restaurant Hulscher's

TheForkUserI don’t usually give 10s, but Hulscher’s absolutely deserves it. Not only is it AMAZING value for money, but the dishes are also SO CREATIVE—yet still surprisingly delicious. It’s flavours that you wouldn’t think to pair together yourself necessarily, but they are just in perfect harmony with each other. As if the chef is letting you in on a secret you never knew your palate was missing. Every plate feels like a work of art, with each edible flower carefully plated onto a dish, like petals pressed between the pages of a love letter. One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been, if not, THE BEST restaurant. I will 100% be coming back. I had the eggplant as a starter and pork belly as a main, plus an amazing Pornstar Martini cocktail. The service was absolutely impeccable as well—but nothing could beat that amazing eggplant dish. It wasn’t just food; it was the kind of dish you find yourself wishing you could experience that first bite all over again.

Seafood

TheForkUserA top-tier gourmet restaurant nestled in a cozy nook of this fairytale town. The main attraction is the “surprise” set menu of a 4, 5, or 6-course dinner. This is obviously not for those who are in a hurry, it’s the polar opposite of fast food. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Bars/Bistros

TheForkUserI love the location and atmosphere of Restaurant Eerste Klas. I enjoy looking at the trains out the windows, the old wood paneling and amazing high ceiling from the old first class waiting room, the clocks of different world time zones, the cockatoo. The food, though not adventurous, is always very good quality and tasty and reasonably priced. Also quite a good variety of choices or everything, from drinks to salads to desserts. Service can be a little slow on the floor but the food always seems to come very fast once ordered. Everyone I have brought here has also loved it.

TheForkUsermy wife and I came here for dinner so she could try some authentic Dutch food. The food didn't disappoint, it was very tasty. The place a little small, but I didn't feel like we were packed in. And it added to the cozy atmosphere inside. And finally the service was good, and they made sure everything was good.
