    Amazing waiter and lovely atmosphere. The dishes are surprising and interesting. Only reason for the 3 stars in value is the perceived “missing” value in the additional temperance pairing. Drinks were all quite similar and did not add to the flavours of the dish, besides the portions were big and therefore felt too rushed to finish. The price is similar to the food which doesn’t seem justified. Other than that, we had nothing to add as everything was great. Lovely time. Will be back!

    What an incredibly beautiful and well curated dining experience. I have never had such a unique connection with the ingredients, menu and tastes in a fine dining setting before. This was truly masterful. Congratulations to the team at De Tafel, you have done yourselves proud.
