You will feel welcomed the moment you step in no matter who you are because it's like a meeting point where you can meet and interact with people from all different backgrounds. They make sure their customers are respected and feel at home. Quite cool! They are famous for their spareribs with different flavors and I like the spicy one most. Compared to other places the quality of the meat is quite good and also it has an add-on advantage for people who look for halal meat because it's 100% halal. I would recommend them to work on the chicken sate dish because compared to other sates I've had, these were quite big chunks of chicken which affected the flavor. But certainly they still deserve a five star. Anyways, had some dessert as well and the red velvet cake with the latte macchiato was a perfect closing. I'd like to get back to try more on the menu like the mocktails!

This was bad. The steak itself was a terrible cut of meat (I'm a ribeye guy, so I know it's not supposed to be the most tender cut, but it's supposed to be marbleized and flavorful. Nope.), full of gristle and cut so haphazardly that it looked like an amoeba on my plate. It had almost no flavor (frozen for months?), and was just altogether a mess. I accompanied it with fries, thinking it would be like the French "steak frites", where you get very finely-cut, almost shoestring potatoes. Nope. These were thick and tasted like $0.99 frozen grocery-store fries. Again, no flavor. The white (wheat) beer was pretty good, though. That's the only thing keeping this from being a 1-star. Service was meh. They didn't seem to interested in me being there. All-in-all, a pretty dismal dining experience.

They had kid friendly menus which was perfect. We ordered the beef tenderloin and sides of sweet potato fries (all their fries come with mayo...not just in Rotterdam....I guess Europeans prefer Mayo with their fries rather then ketchup), corn and mushrooms and asparagus. The chimichurri sauce and their blackpepper creamy sauces were really delicious. The meat was perfectly cooked. The kids had plenty of food to eat and were happy campers. The service was timely and they checked in often. They took american credit cards (some places seemed to only take Dutch cards so we were always nervous). Overall it was a great experience. My husband has to go to Rotterdam for business often and we went with him on this last trip. Truly a great town, friendly people and amazing variety of restaurants and bars.

Yesterday I went to have dinner with a friend at El Gaucho in Leiden. I must say that it is more…read morethan 10 years that I go there and as much as I find the wine selection not the best, the food has always been quite good. I had a very bad experience with a waiter, possible the manager of the restaurant, I am not sure, he behaved like he was in charge. I called to reserve a table for two for the evening, I asked for a table close to a window, if possible. When I arrived I was given not a table at the window, while there was a free table (not marked as reserved) close to a window, a table for 4 people. I asked if I could get that table if free, since it was already 20:15 (it was unlikely for them to fill that table), he said no because I had bookd just a few hours earlier, I then asked to see other available tables in the back of the restaurtant, and he eventually accomodated me on a table for 4. So, the feeling was that I could not get a table close to a window just because he said so. OK. After a few minutes a table for 2 close to a window got available and somebody else kindly transfered me there. When I order the food, I was clarifying with the waiter the piece of meat I wanted, this guy come close, jumped into the conversation and told me I should not ask such things and have no expectations that my wishes could be fulfilled (I have asked for the same thing everytime I have been there for the last 10 years and was never disappointed, and also yesterday eventually what I got was ok), still this guy had to be like that with me. Then, at 21:30 we were brought the menu for dessert, at 21:42 we asked for a dessert, and the same guy told us that the kitchen was closed at 21:30, we were not reminded of that when they brought us the menu, nor we knews what time it was, we were having a good time and did not mind the time. I asked to still make an effort, as we really wanted to have a dessert, which by the way is not something that you cook on the moment, it is just something you place on a dish and bring to the table. Anyway, the guy (still the same guy) said that that was impossible, and he refused to go and ask in the kitchen, and treted me like I was crazy just only asking for it. Left us with no dessert. He said we could order coffees, we said no, and he brought us the bill 3 minutes after that (we did not ask for it), and 3 more minutes after someone else came with the machine to make us pay (again, we did not ask for it, and they even refused to split the bill). Result, this guy ruined the good experience we were having. He works in the hospitality business but he is definitely an amateur of this business and ruined the experience for us, it felt like he was being mean to me from the moment I stepped into the restaurant. Not going to El Gaucho anymore, there are many other good places for steak in Leiden or in Den Haag. I am very disappointed!

The staff was very patient and helpful with explaining how a meal works here. They will take the time to talk about what you like to make sure you select the right thing and answer any questions. The cocktail was also really good. I made a reservation, which seemed like the thing to do because it was lively inside.

We had been traveling for 6 days and were ready for a break from Belgian and Dutch food…read more I like Belgian and Dutch food, quite a lot, but one can only eat so many frites. This place was recommended by our server at our afternoon beer spot, and it turned out to be not just the best meal of the trip so far, but one of our favorite dining memories of recent years (okay, Covid may have limited those...). Now, this was definitely not traditional local food, but it was special enough to make our highlight list for sure. The first surprise was warm crusty bread with herbed butter and tomato tapenade delivered to the table. THAT hasn't happened anywhere in Belgium or Netherlands so far. I had the sirloin filet with grilled mushrooms (huge and skewered);which arrived with a wonderful brown glaze that was savory and sweet. And my medium rare steak was perfectly cooked. My boyfriend had the grilled salmon--thick, moist, and on a bed of lightly grilled onions. The second surprise was the choice of frites or baked potato. Choice! Potato please! They were small but fluffy and tender and amazing. The third surprise was the side salad that came unexpectedly--did we miss that on the menu? It was on a platter and was plenty for two: chopped greens with corn, beans, cucumber, tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries, pomegranate seeds (I think), in a sweet vinaigrette. I had two glasses of the Malbec and my boyfriend had a Jamieson ("on the rocks" meant with a bowl of ice with tongs served alongside!), and our bill was less than 70 Euro. We sat inside because it was a cool evening, but there is outdoor seating on the square and it looked like outdoor seating along the back canal side as well. Maybe not a place for kids, it definitely had an adult vibe. Service was wonderful! Highly recommend!!
