I had the fish of the day (Cod) which was delicious. Desert was a grand dessert which was amazing. They are very food allergy conscious and able to cater to vegetarians. The wine was phenomenal and the service were also really good. Make reservations if you can as this is a small bistro and we noticed several parties were turned away as the restaurant was full by about 8pm.

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!

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.

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.

Very little meat was on the fish. My other guests were very satisfied with their dinners: bbq spare ribs; steak; salmon poke and goat cheese salad. It does have a great vibe/atmosphere and was packed. Friendly, attentive, multi-language staff. Parking is very limited so you might have a few minutes walk. Also has quite a few bottles of wine available for purchase. All in all will still return when I'm in Wijk aan Zee..
