First restaurant I visited in Nijmegen. Got the pork satay (varkensfiletsate). Plenty of peanut sauce; not a great amount of meat. (Compared to American restaurants.) Friet & mayo were excellent (as seems to be everywhere here). Salad was small and blah. Had a giant "kreopoek" ("prawn cracker") on top - wasn't sure what to do with that. It was pretty tasteless, so I broke off pieces to eat the extra peanut sauce. Waitress was nice - accepted me ordering in Dutch; asked me how it was in English by the end. Willowy model-type. Wasn't around much, though. Took a while to ask for the check.

Cozy pub with great bartenders and even better beers. We came by here around 4pm while waiting for…read moreour time slot in Noordbrabants Museum. It was half full but it still took ages to get some olives. I guess it is because it was just the two guys working there and patrons were constantly ordering delicious beers. I opted for the Tripel Karmeliet, which was a good starter and went fine with the olives. After I polished that off, I asked for a bottle of Duchesse de Bourgogne. The bartender hesitated and asked me if I knew what it was. It happens to be one of my favourites, a sweet and very sour beer. But I do appreciate him asking; I'm sure his foresight must have saved at least one hapless drinker from an aching jaw! The prices are good and the atmosphere is relaxed. I wish we could have stayed longer, but I'm sure to visit again if I am in town.

Studenten café de Mark is one of the best café's for students to go to and hang around. You will…read moreespecially find elder students, like around the age of 20-25, who go there regularly with a big group and just enjoy themselves with a drink or to smoke the legal marihuana. There are always people around in the café in the daytime, most of which students, although there are also some local regular non student customers who visit the café on a regular basis. In the night time though, student are the only ones to be found here, so it's a great place to socialise and to get to know someone if you are a student too.

What a great neighborhood bar with great ambiance and beer selection.

The beer selection was great and they even have their own special brew. The bartender was very gracious, masterfully dealing with the crowded bar filled with locals and us. At the end, he even brought us the house specialty of a home brewed sweet liquor. Very nice touch.

Agree with the other reviewers that it's a tight fit, however people are generally accommodating and nice here. It's just got that good feel. Watch out for the buffalo grass vodka. They have a SOLID often-changing draft beer selection and they are the only place you can get de hemel "rooie tip top" which is a can't miss. Food is lekker also.
