Bistrobar Berlin

Made a reservation, noted gluten and dairy as dietary restrictions. The reservation i made was for inside of the restaurant, instead we were placed right next to the street, so every car and bus passing, was inches from us and our food. Okay, fine. As we were seated, the server brought a menu in Dutch with notations, things that are non-compliant marked with an X, things that can be made to accommodate marked with an A, and things without a mark that are compliant. And the same menu in English. Great start. We made the selections, i specifically reiterated to the server one of the things I'm ordering needs to be altered to accommodate the restrictions. After some wait, the food arrived. Placed in front of me was, from what i could tell, the original dish. I asked if there's gluten in these crackers, the server didn't know. Go ask please. Sure enough, the crackers had gluten in them. When we ask you to accommodate dietary restrictions, do you think we're playing?!?! Do we think we do this for fun?!?! I don't know if the server didn't relay this to the kitchen or the kitchen didn't care but that's just reckless and dangerous. This is a Michelin recommended restaurant. The food was meh. The spare ribs were okay but the sauces that went with them my dining partner didn't like very much. I ordered the razor clam salad which was tiny, which i can forgive, but all you could taste was garlic. And then there were the mashed baby potatoes. Not mashed, just 4 or 5 of them, tiny, cooked and cut in half, with some lettuce added, some egg white, some i assume canned olives and then drowned in a sauce that was essentially mayonnaise. So every bit was a spoonful of mayonnaise. Just no. It wasn't cheap either but I'll gladly pay for a good meal. This was not that. Food was borderline atrocious and the service was just plain bad. What a letdown.

The food was okay, small bites for small dinner, but the reason that we will not come again is the unfriendly service and we were visiting from Germany so we don’t speak Dutch and it was a surprise to us that we couldn’t communicate in English with the waitress. Also those small bites came after 55 minutes. Not a pleasant experience.

I have been here twice. Both times I ordered the 4-course chef’s menu. The first time they booked our table downstairs, service was very fast and nice, and dishes were delicious. This last time, they seated us upstairs and the service was not good. Super long waiting times, we even thought they forgot we still missed our 4th dish, which was in the end a very disappointing dessert. The quality of the food is good and I know that going for the chef’s menu can always be a more or less pleasant experience according to individual taste. However, the quality of the service should definitely be improved.

Been here twice before, first for just drinks and the second time for food. Most recently, got food and drinks and it was just as incredible as I remember. The macaroons were delicious, the Seabass delectable, and flat iron steak out of this world. So glad they’re recognized by Michelin and can’t wait to return!

There for a special night with ron blauw 🌟🌟 chef, unbelievable experience with mind blowing food 😀

We went on a sunday evening. Convenient for the Rebyl hotel around the corner and recommended to us by the hotel bar. We ordered 4 sharing dishes (salmon, cod, gnocci and ribs) plus fries between 2 people. The food quality was outstanding, and the staff are super-friendly. Great atmosphere.

Had a really lovely time here. They serve delicious Aperol Spritz and other cocktails. They recommend getting 3 dishes per person which I would agree with, portions are small and meant to be shared. Really nice experience :)) deffo would go again

Awsome place, friendly stuff and reasonable priceses. I will visit again for sure

My partner and I reserved a spot at the bar on a week day evening. All of the staff were extremely helpful and kind. We are pescatarians and every dish we ordered was extremely good. My personal favorite was the mackerel. The wine list could use a little work, but nothing was offensive. The atmosphere could also be a bit more gezellig. Regardless, this is definitely one of the best restaurants in Nijmegen. Note: I tried to take my father here the following week and the host was extremely rude and unhelpful. Hopefully someone was just having a bad day.
