It is hard to put into words what I liked so much about this little neighborhood spot. I think it…read morewas the fact that it felt like I was going over to a friend's house for dinner. The fact that it was small and cozy created an intimate atmosphere. The lighting added to the intimacy making it a warm, serene refuge on a cold night. Being waited on by one of the two friendly people working the small dining area added to the aura. It made the experience more personalized, like we just walked into his house and he asked what he could get us from his kitchen to eat. "Come in, sit down for a while, warm up and let me get you something to eat and drink". It was as though the people there were having a relaxed, pleasant evening together and we were invited to join. The location also had something to do with the appeal as well. This was our first visit to city centre Delft. The narrow streets that lined canals replete with strategic lighting made this brick-laden city an absolute delight to wander. As an American, this place presented an ambiance unlike what we'd see at home. It was a step back in time in time and a step into everyday Dutch life. This somewhat off-the-radar city offers the type of character that you hope to experience as part of your travels. We visited at around 8 PM on a Monday. It was not at all busy and we were able to find a seat with no problem. The ambiance, as suggested above, was very inviting and quite relaxed. The menu for this restaurant was short but featured several creative choices with local twists (in different ways). My wife chose the Goat Cheese Salad, which featured a plentiful serving with nice greens along with other vegetables and nice add-ins such as pecans. I opted for the Indonesian-inspired Chicken Satay, which was served with fries and salad. Again, the serving was more than enough. We both were very happy with our dinners. My wife enjoyed a homemade lemonade to drink while I was quite satisfied with one of their red wines (Corte Ortone Brindisi). The final bill was €57.50, or €28.75 per person. Given the quality of the food and the overall experience, I thought this was a reasonable value. I would definitely try this place again if we return to Delft.

I always enjoy the tortilla, the boquerones and the ham and cheese platter. Nice Spanish beers, cava and gin & tonics too Just be sure to go when they will still be open for 2-3 more hours, the selection of pinxtos definitely dwindles as they get closer to closing time. For the best selection go between 1pm - 5.30pm.

I started off with a glass of the sangria barcelona then had a glass of rose and my husband ordered a beer. For food we split the patatas bravas, chorizo al jerez (chorizo with manchego and sherry), berenjena en tempura (fried eggplant with honey and thyme) and one pincho (I selected a piece of the queso manchego). All of the food was so good. The pinchos is what they are popular for, you can choose 1, 5 or 10. This spot does have an indoor rooftop so we finished our drinks up there.

Pancake craving drew me to this place in the Delft market…read more Food: 3.5 stars. Ordered fritter snack appetizer, bacon pancake, tap beer, and jenever (local gin-like alcohol). Fritter appetizer was tasty and a good value (11 euro for 16 piece). Pancake was good but left something to be desired. Tap Wieckse beer was good. Jenever was too bitter/strong for my taste. Service: 5 stars. Waitress was extremely friendly. She provided pancake/beer recommendations and even helped me charge my dying phone! Bottom Line: Good meal & solid service, but pancakes were not the best I've had. Probably would return if in Delft though.

Outside seating with heaters make this place a great people watching experience with the comfort of warmth. The atmosphere is like a tavern with small quarters, but watch your step because it has levels to it, not clearly marked especially if you aren't paying attention or had one too many of the local beer Palm or Heinken. Pancakes!!! This place has a variety of pancakes ranging from cherry, banana, and for the bacon lovers, they have bacon pancakes. All fruit or meat are infused into the pancake. Worth a try. The staff is friendly when I was there and they have wifi, but you must ask the server for the password. 11Nov2012, was the code when I was there, but double check with the server.
