I was going to go with four stars but then I realized Gunnery's is perfect! From the warm welcome…read moreof the gentleman behind the bar to the correct pour of a Guinness (heck them at is worth two stars alone!!!) and a fair selection of whiskies. Nothing too unique but the traditional Jameson and Tullamore Dew but also some of their Scottish friends (laphroiag and glenmorangie) and even an American cousin in Four roses. Several televisions to enjoy whatever sporting event is the "must see" event and a couple of dart boards at the back. I did not sample anything from the small menu but the owner (?) did walk around with a tray of what I thought were biterballen but was infact not full of mystery meat at all but some Asian noodle, good and on the house as well :) So to say the least and enjoyable experience and already recommended to some American colleagues. :D

AMAZING fish & chips! Yep, I'm that girl who came all the way from the US, to Holland to eat in an…read moreIrish Pub! So worth it! My hubs had the Gunnery Burger & that did not disappoint either, as he is not a lover of seafood. Good choices for all tastes here! On a side note, as a retired US Navy Chief, i noticed immediately that the woman next to us put on her coat, a Navy Peacoat, with her CTI crow on it! We were all shocked & surprised that we both served, and happened to be in this little pub far from the states!

Great grand cafe; During a master class we followed at the…read moreFries Museum (end time daily at 17.00) we continued to knit and craft in this cafe. It was really great how the waiters let us do our thing; and great service to. So we had a nice cup of tea, good red wine (house wine is a Tempranillo ) and the food is good value for money. We started on Wednesday by coming here, the stuffed portobello as well as the hachee was great (hear say) and I had the ravioli. For me it could do with less creamy sauce, but other than that - it was really nice. Thursday the salmon was recommended - so I tried this one. And it was indeed nice :) Friday, after a couple of real cold days they had "Snert" (green peas soup) which in my opinion was a bit too stuffed and firm to be a soup. But the flavours were great. And although it was a small bowl of soup. It is very filling And knitting in a grand cafe brings so much response from the other customers - real funny. I.e a man came to me saying he was coming in the cafe for years, but with us knitting there it somehow felt more cosy All and all it is a nice place, nice people, good location (2 minutes walk from central station) and the food is good value for money.
