Which is special as Dutch restaurants often lack an owner who is truly working to make things great. In the summer they have outside seating in a romantic garden.

Even though I've never dined here, I take lunch at Pandarve quite regularly and I find it to be a…read morerestaurant with great food and a quality to price ratio that is nothing short of phenomenal. The lunchmenu is limited (about 15 dishes) but every single choice on the menu is spectacular in its own way, served in a way that is easy on the eyes, with a well thought out balance between all the basic tastes, for a price of about 7/8 euro. The only downside seems to be the fact that Pandarve is not exactly a well kept secret so it's often packed and difficult to get a table. Even so, the food is so good that it's always worth the wait!

This was a phenomenal dinner and truthfully exceeding expectations I had before coming. We visited…read moreabout 1 year ago and I wanted to do something special for my Oma (who has always supported me) so I selected a nice tasting menu close to her home of Baarn. Little did I know this was the restaurant where my Opa proposed to her - what a beautiful surprise!!! The location is remote, peaceful and the grounds of the restaurant are beautiful (including a garden where they grow some of their own produce). The service was attentive, friendly and respectful. We went for the largest tasting menu with wine pairings - the pairings were also very well received (my oma mentioning she did not like red wine much, but after her first taste said "this is pretty good I think I could like this"). The food was truly gorgeous, thoughtful and technique driven without being overbearing. The ingredients were fresh and I still recall (a year later) the langoustine, foie and green apple dish that was the stand out of the night -- that's my kind of surf n' turf. It is experiences like this that remind me why the Michelin guide might be so stingy in cities like Chicago - because the food here was truly on a different level and wildly deserving of a star. DELICIOUS!!!!

Spott is a new place in Doorn and is housed in what once was an old abandoned premises. It is…read morenicely renovated into the early 20 century style in which is has been originally built. The restaurant offers lunch and diner options with a nice variety of drinks. The question is if this place can be a welcome addition to the already somewhat saturated restaurant market in a small village like Doorn. It has to compete with a place like The Notabelen which attracts a loyal crowd. But, in all honesty it certainly has potential to be a viable alternative for a somewhat higher end lunch and diner menu. Staff is friendly and efficient and food is great! I had the steak/scampi salad with bread. Enough to have a great lunch. Well balanced with meat, fish and vegetables. The dressing was a bit on the greasy side, but not too dominant. A great place with lots of potential!

Simply great. We had schnitzel en entrecote. The entrecote was cooked to perfection, where you…read moreoften find them overcooked this one was just right. The schnitzel was big and crispy, German style. The service was friendly and prompt, it seems part of the guests are friends of the owner or maybe just regulars. The regular beer is Jupiler, so no sticky Dutch lagers. The mushroom and stroganoff sauces were too sweet and bland, though the entrecote (did I mention it's perfect quison?) can and should be served with nothing but gravy. The fries were almost perfect, which saved the other side dishes from loosing face, the salad and baked potatoes were verging on mediocre. The deserts, cheese cake and strudel were fine, tasty and subtle doing what any good desert should do: end the meal with a smile. A place you could easily miss on its busy road, but one that deserves a u-turn and a sampling!

We arrived at Ichi without knowing much since there wasn't a Yelp review yet. However, we were in…read morethe mood for some sushi and decided to give it a go. We were not disapointed! The atmosphere of the restaurant is good, with ample seating and a low noise level which allowed for soft conversation. The waitress was wonderful and the service excellent. Never before have we recieved such fast service and delivery of our all-you-can-eat selections. Everything was wonderful, the sushi fresh and very well prepared, the wait-staff well trained and attentive without being overly intrusive. I brought my three kids, twin boys of 10 and my daughter of 13, and the inevitable spills, mess and high spirits were all very well handled. I am happy to give Ichi in Zeist a five star rating and urge you to drop in should the sushi mood take you while in the area.

It's a cozy little place, modern, a mix of wood, Asian architecture and hip seats. I viewed the menu in advance and saw they served green curry. My favorite, so I actually already knew what I wanted to order. When I saw that they also serve Tom Kha soup, I was momentarily confused, because that's like the next best thing for me to green curry. But as I work nearby, I vowed to come back for lunch and try the soup. My love went for a very spicy version of the green curry with tofu and I kept it safe on a medium spiced. The curries where served in bowls upon a heater. Rice was served in cute little disks on a separate plate. The taste was very good. It wasn't the best curry I ever had, but it surely was lovely. A nice blend of flavors, with lots and lots of bamboo shoots and pea-like objects I wasn't familiar with, with a hard shell, soft inside and a bitter taste. They complemented the taste of the curry very well. I drank a red Merlot to accompany the curry, because I love red wine with curries. My love tried a Singha, a traditional Thai beer. The tables where adorned with a Thai touch, which made us talk about visiting Thailand and daydreaming what countries along to visit. A Thai restaurant that inspired you to go visit said country, should be interesting no? We had a very good time and will certainly come back to this cute place.
