Beluga Loves You

What a phenomenal experience! From the first small bites with a fabulous glass of champagne to the final dessert course, every bite was spectacular. The service was impeccable and the wine pairing was on point. I can’t say enough about how good this meal was. Every dish was so thoughtfully prepared and executed perfectly. All of the servers where on top of of every part of the service. Couldn’t recommend this more if you are looking for an elevated dining experience in the Netherlands. The real bonus was sitting at the chef’s counter and watching how a well oiled machine works. So impressed!

Over my last 10 starred restaurants this one comes very strong on the Top 2. The atmosphere, overseeing the river, very large room, turns out both classy and natural. Welcoming with apéritive in the lobby before food at the table should be mandatory everywhere. Excellent concept. The mushrooms topped dark bread was fantastic. Service was extremely friendly, doing lot of efforts in different languages. The food was very well structured. The first "wow" effect with the cold appetiser is followed by a very complex fish assembly, before the excellently cooked veal. Cheese selection was completely satisfying but might be weaker compared to the rest of the menu. When coming to Holland one might have too high expectations on this. Overall definitely one of the best price to quality and experience ratio in Europe (benchmarking with many comparable places in different countries).

We went from Nijmegen only for dinner at Beluga Loves You and celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and the night was unforgettable! With the snow falling outside (middle of January), it felt like the perfect night! The food was incredible—I even tried caviar for the first time and egg duck! Every dish was beautifully presented, we paired every dish with wine and non-alcoholic drinks. As someone who’s gluten-free, I really appreciated how well they accommodated me without missing out on any flavors. The service was good, the ambiance was cozy yet elegant, and overall, it was just a great experience. My first visit to a Michelin restaurant was nothing short of extraordinary, for the place and for the company!

Awesome anniversary dinner. Very friendly staff.

Exquisiet! Everything BLY do is just tremendous. Two star dining, for sure.

My experience in this restaurant was more than amazing! They focus on crafting a great food presentation which gave as the first good impression and when we tried the food the taste was fantastic!!! My friend told the waiter that she has specific requirements for food and the Chef just prepared her what she wants that wasn't even in the menu! They are just an adorable staff I have to say and they deserve more than one Michelin star :)

Over the top experience for all the senses. It's a place to enjoy food as a work of art. The wine pairing was remarkable as well as the kind service, the beluga team made us feel special all the time.

Neglect and slowness From the moment we walked through the door, our expectations were very high due to the customers' feedback. I believe my wife and I share the same perception that the flavors are varied and harmoniously rich. However, there is something that we kept repeating in our conversation throughout the experience. We’ve had different experiences at other renowned restaurants and we understand that the steps are complicated and take time, but I think, in this case, they were excessive. We even considered leaving before the desserts. In conclusion, they could handle the situation better by understanding that at a Michelin-starred restaurant, the management of such situations should be more fluid and transparent with customers. This is not a criticism, but I am a chef at a 5-star hotel, and I want to be critical, especially to preserve gastronomy and customer service. Thank you
