My husband decided to make a lunch reservation at Ratatouille during our 22 hour layover at…read moreSchiphol airport, and we had such a wonderful experience there. The service, the food, the ability to see into the kitchen and watch as the dishes were being prepared...everything was great. My husband had the standard 3 course lunch special while I had the vegetarian version, and we were both very pleased. The three course menu actually had an extra course of several tiny appetizers before the first course, as well, which was an excellent tasting of different unique items. The ratatouille (main course for today's vegetarian lunch) was definitely my favorite, though!

Breakfast was excellent, and location was perfect for exploring Haarlem although it would not have mattered if I was a little off the Markt. The bad: The room is in the back with windows looking into a brick wall. Ear plugs are provided because anytime a door is opened or closed elsewhere in the BnB a huge noise is made. The restaurant is closed at night on Monday and Tuesday and we had to find a different restaurant for check in.

My father and I were in Haarlem for an evening once and decided to treat ourselves to a nice…read moreevening in this tiny restaurant he had heard about. I was disappointed. The owner is quite rude. My father likes to receive advice on what to drink, and when we were asked if we wanted an aperitif my dad simply asked "what would you suggest to us?" . In a tiny place without menu on drinks where the owner pride himself to welcome customers in his "home" we received the elegant answer of " am I suppose to tell you what to get now?" Worst first impression I ever had. My dad certainly knew what to get, but without a menu we just wanted to hear what the owner had to offer and to give us some idea...we went for a classic prosecco. Also, it looks all fancy (the tiny place is indeed divinely decorated and is full of personality) but the food served is not worth the price. It seems to be serving a mix of French cuisine with a twist....or whatever - but it's really not the best food I had ( definitely not for that price range!). But the overall service ruined it. Quite snobbish.

I ordered the french onion soup to start and it was almost perfect. Not too salty, just the right amount of Gruyere cheese and lovely dark bread chunks. Yum and very satisfying. Then I had a caesar salad that was also really delicious. I'm not an anchovy fan, and they were plentiful on this Ceasar, but I was able to work around it just fine and really enjoyed the salad with shavings of delicious Parmigian cheese and crunchy bits of bread. The wine was great and the atmosphere is nice. I really like the open kitchen at the back and the long bar in the center. The seating feels a little awkward, but maybe only at lunch when there aren't as many people filling the open spaces. I would definitely hit this French bistro-ish place again. Really good, not cheap but not ridiculously priced. A-Ok! Oh, and the service was good as well. Kudos Colette!

Trying to combat jet lag we went for dinner and drinks at WOODSTONE Pizza and wine. The internal…read moredecor was cute and there was plenty of space. You sit close to your neighbors, but that's ok because they don't listen to you usually. We started with the woodfired nachos, they were a highlight with such simple ingredients. The chips were good by themselves but when coupled with the cheese, jalapeño, and sour cream you get a complete bite that is satisfying. The pizzas were amazing. The sauce on the Margherita was a zesty tomato that really took the spotlight. A simple pizza like this was truly elevated by the sauce. I got the Solare and was so pleasantly surprised by the combination that I had to take notes for when I make pizza at home again. The melon, arugula, hot honey, and cheese combo never would have been something I put together but it was amazing. Truly worth trying. For dessert we got the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake and jar of tiramisu. You know both of these were amazing, so no need to waste words on them. Tips for English speaking only, ask for an English menu. It is much easier than trying to translate it a little at a time. The staff was great even during a busy time for them. All in, it misses a fifth star because some of the wait times between table touches were a little long, but again it was super busy so they deserve credit for what they did. If you're looking for a great dinner or lunch, this is a place to go.
