Olivijn restaurant*

We had a fantastic time celebrating our anniversary here! The service was excellent, and the staff was so friendly. Thank you again :) The ambiance was beautiful, and the food was exquisite and special. Each dish was flavorful and expertly presented, and the staff kindly explained every dish in English well. We do highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience!

We had an extraordinary lunch here. The restaurant itself is beautiful as us the presentation of all dishes. We had a 5-course lunch and each course was of the same high standard. The wagyu was the standout for us. I also very much enjoyed the creative presentation of the cakes with the coffee and tea. The wine pairing deserves special mention as well as it was truly excellent. The explanation of the different wines was expansive and interesting. We really appreciated that they were able to make some delicious cocktails for my girlfriend who doesnt like wine. Would highly recommend anyone to pay a visit to this beautiful restaurant.

Amazing experience in special Glass House in Olivijn. Big shout out to the team for their service! Chef came to our table and they explained every dishes well in English.. All the dishes are impressive it compliments even more with the wine recommended by sommelier. Never miss this experience it if you are in Haarlem!

Olivijn….Looked forward to this lunch with my wife. , But from the moment we crossed the treshold and entered the restaurant we felt hostility towards us. An unfriendly reception preceded our lunch. Olivijn is a one star Michelin restaurant and we had lunch at the discounted price of euro 60 instead of the regular euro 80, because of the “Restaurant week” offer. 3 “amuses” were presented, one poor, one good and one excellent, where the excellent one was the one which had a licorice /fennel flavour. After the amuses the first course with crab, pure but not very flavour full, The second course was the scallop with , hazelnut and truffle. Good taste , but really the tiniest scallop i have ever seen and the dish does not deserve the name of a full course from a four course lunch. Main course, was 3 tin slices of sirloin ( total aprox 25 gr!!! ) 1 onion and 3 mushrooms. Quality was less than fair. The desert was maybe the best from the lunch….no that is not true ,by far it was the bread. The bread was homemade and excellent. To conclude, far too expensive, the tiniest portions imaginable and service at the table at times hostile. It was my companion who saved the meal otherwise i would have felt scammed. in total a disappointing exprience.

Brilliant new venue of chef Menno Post. Great atmosphere with friendly, casual and knowledgeable staff. Food simply excellent. Heading for a star soon.

We had the 5course menu for lunch, and it was amazing! Very well proportioned, great look even better taste! Service was impeccable. Friendly and very attentive! I can recommend going to Olivijn.

One of the greatest meals of my life. Friendly yet professional service. Each course was more beautiful than the one that preceded it. With every perfectly, playfully composed plate that they brought me, I wondered how it could taste as good as it looked, but they achieved combinations that were both coherent and creative. Truly perfect.

I have no word but super delicious! Thanks for the high quality, original dishes and great wine recommendation!
