Merlot

"It will come as no surprise that wine plays a special role in this atmospheric, trendy restaurant. The fabulous selection, also available by the glass, will lend extra verve to your meal. A great deal of care goes into the chef's modern dishes; he works meticulously to revamp predominantly French flavours." - Michelin Inspector

Super nice experience! The staff was amazing and the food was also very delicious. Ordering the vegetarian meal was no problem and usually there is only cheese or egg dishes, but that was not the case at all! Definitely a recommendation from us! Next time even with vegan food 😉

Service is outstanding, food is extra ordinary, located perfectly close to the river the Eem. Wine sommelier can tell you all about the regions and tastes. Great experience and delicious taste. Fine dining to the max.

Well prepared and balanced courses which we paired with decent wines. The waiter seemed rushed and was a little unfriendly. Perhaps another visit would result in a better overall experience.

Everything was prefect except two main courses, they were suddenly very salty.

First we spent 1.5 hrs to be served 3 amouse. Then when we asked for the vegetarian menu we were told we weren't being considerate enough to the chefs. The arrogance! Then we spent 4 hours, 2 bottles of wine, and €250 (including a voucher) to get 4 courses through a 6 course ordeal of hunger. First 1 tiny portion of beautufully cooked food arrived, then at least 30 min later another tiny morsel arrived, and so on. The entire thing reminded me of the worst traits of 1990s nouvelle cuisine and arrogant "chef first" restaurant culture. Don't bother.

We (2 adults) enjoyed the seven courses with accompanying wine arrangement. The maître'd was very knowledgeable about the wines, which were selected to accompany some very fine meals. Those meals were small in size, but very high in taste. Every meal had its own distinct flavour profile, making them stand out from the others. Even though they did not fill us up, there was plenty of good bread with caramelized butter to fill in the gaps. Merlot is a bit expensive, but still a very good price for the entire experience. If you are able to stomach the bill, I would surely recommend a visit.

Excellent wine pairing and great dishes. The hospitality was really good and the restaurant looks are nice. The whole restaurant operates really tight, every staff member seemed to know exactly what to do. In the end I had an amazing evening, only the risotto was not that great but this was due to the fact that the other dishes were so good. The PX wine with the cheeses were delishhhhh. Thanks to the sommelier and everyone else. Loved it, will definitly come back some time.
