If for some odd reason you find yourself traveling down a tree to the magical land of Alice in…read moreWonderland - I mean, Venlo, do yourself a favor and stop here. This place, is one of the few populated restaurants in the center of Venlo (on a weekday). Going in, there was a homely atmosphere offered with upscale elements. The first floor offered quick and smaller tables to bar patrons, while the second floor invited diners to experience a taste of Venlo. Everything was great - from the full glass of wine that was poured, to the non-intrusive but inquisitive waitress who took care of us, to the cuisine lavishly presented on our tables. But oh boy, the food - I took the gamble, and went with their surprise menu set of three courses for 30 euros. Best decision ever. You explain to the waitress the type of elements you would like (meat, fish, veggie) or any other preferences. I told her I love seafood, and meat (beef preferred). I also told her ice cream was my kryponite. She said depending on what ingredients were available, they would tailor the menu to my requests. WHAT! What chef has time to tailor a course for one table, let alone a single individual. What I received, blew me away. First course - gently seared shrimp and local fish on top of a mixed bed of seaweed salad and peppered seasoned greens. Delicious! Second course consisted of a generous side dish of fries, and a main dish of a chop of pork and two slices of one of the best cooked beef slices I've ever tasted. The cooking technique was perfection, and my knife cut through the beef like butter! Mashed potatoes, sauteed green string beans, and diced cabbage were served as well. For dessert, homemade apple sorbet, with mixed berry yogurt and vanilla cream. WOW. Talk about having a personal chef. This was a great experience, and I highly recommend stopping by here - I know I'll be back!

Right off the center of Venlo you get a nice café. The menu is typically Dutch. I recommend the…read moreseasonal choices. I like the Limburgish menu also.

This place has fantastic sandwiches and is my grandson's favorite place to eat. We have eaten here…read moretwice during this visit to the Netherlands. The first time I got the Beef Carpaccio, it was amazing. The second time, I got the Brie with fig jam. It was good, but not as good as the Beef Carpaccio. My husband got the Oriental Chicken, which he said was good. It's for certain that we will eat here again while visiting our daughter who lives right down the road.

In the summer they will have outdoor seating, I highly recommend it. The fish soup is a good start. But I definitely recommend any of those pastas that get rolled in the head cheese at the front door.

This supermarket in this town on the Dutch-German border is unusual in that it caters uniquely to…read morethe German crowd. The product range is very diverse, especially in the coffee and cheese sections. In general, a mix of Dutch and German products can be found. Prices are low to moderate. The store is clean and ideally located next to a large public parking garage with an elevator - taking your shopping cart directly to your car is very easy (EUR10 deposit when you take a shopping cart outside the store). There are always weekly special buys, and the store is open seven days a week. On the downside, the aisles are narrow, which is especially frustrating because of the large number of patrons in the store, especially on weekends. Store employees constantly use the PA system to promote the weekly buys, which is a bit annoying during longer shopping trips. Also, to my knowledge, the "2 Brueder" do not validate parking for the nearby garage. Overall, a great and convenient place to shop, even if not rock-bottom cheap.
