BASTA in Stellendam

Great concept and a great menu! The dishes are a bit more unusual, which is nice, and there's plenty of variety on the menu. It's a bit pricey, but definitely worth a visit with friends or your partner.

We had a great meal, despite the crowds, everything went perfectly.

In the marina, accessible to everyone, a charming restaurant with a warm atmosphere. A fun shared dining concept with quality snacks.

A wonderfully pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant for this time of year. Unfortunately, it wasn't just the atmosphere we came for. After 40 minutes, we were back outside. I think that speaks volumes. We repeatedly expressed our dissatisfaction, but nothing concrete was done about it. That's it! That's it for us.

This isn't just dining out; it's a night out! The food, the atmosphere, and, of course, the attentive service make for a fantastic evening. The service never faltered, and it wasn't intrusive. This is exactly what you want to experience as a guest. We chose to be surprised by the dishes, and we were thrilled. A well-deserved 5 stars, and that's it!

Nice concept, but the food is subpar. The sushi sauce completely wiped out the salmon and tuna. The bao bun was dry with very little chicken. The bao was so dry and overcooked that we returned it. It wasn't quite right at all. If we were to give it a rating, it would be a 6.5. We wouldn't go back.

Unfortunately, we can't rate the food, as we weren't served. On the large terrace, only two tables were occupied in the beautiful sunshine. One table hadn't been cleared. So we waited 10 minutes for service. There was no one to be seen. On our way out, we saw three employees having a pleasant conversation. So it wasn't due to a lack of staff...

Very good food. Tapas-style, great for sharing and trying something new. Good service.

pricey but definitely worth every euro I will definitely go here again

Beautiful location and truly first-class food. Friendly service 😊

Absolutely perfect, everything is hand made, also the deserts. The service is very kind and friendly. We were There for the third time, and it will be not the last time.

The food was delicious. However, the price-quality ratio has recently started to spiral out of control, to the detriment of the price. Shared dining, with ever-increasing prices for relatively small portions, is unknowingly becoming a very expensive affair. The service is friendly, but on our last visit, a waitress was wearing so much strong perfume that even when she was standing three tables away, the entire aroma and taste of our food was drowned out by the perfume. That's absolutely unacceptable in a restaurant! For that reason, only 3 stars for the service.

Delicious food, great service. Top notch.

What a wonderful beach club feel you get here! You can order dishes like tapas. It's delicious with a glass of wine and a taste of different dishes, and the pork belly is highly recommended! Great service and a stunning view over the water. We ate here twice during our vacation and thoroughly enjoyed it.

We had a lovely lunch outdoors, sharing the dining concept. We were pleasantly surprised by the flavors. The fact that the plates weren't all served at once, but rather were served in a nice, sequential order, was fantastic.

Friendly staff and decent food for a lunch after visiting the nearby bird observatory

For a quiet, cozy evening of drinks and snacks, it was a perfect evening.

We had a fantastic evening. The service was super friendly, attentive, and on top of things. The cocktails were excellent and a great start. The bottle of wine was delicious. All the dishes the waitress recommended were delicious (Peking duck, spicy chicken, sushi rolls, etc.), and you could tell they had been lovingly prepared. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very relaxed. We will definitely be back. And the waitress, who studies business economics... was the star of the show. Thanks!

Super friendly staff, Delicious food and a chill location! Great place!

All show and no substance. Beautiful location and modern decor – but that's where the positives end. The food looks good, but tastes bland and seems poorly thought out. Some dishes arrived cold, and the combinations were neither creative nor technically convincing. Everything is geared towards visual appeal and being "Instagram-friendly" – but tastes flat. No depth, no signature style, no passion. The service was friendly but overwhelmed: long wait times, inattentiveness, forgotten orders – and they barely reacted to complaints. Overall, the concept feels like an attempt to play at fine dining – without the necessary expertise. Absolutely disappointing for the price. Sadly, a prime example of "all show, no food." Not recommended.

I went here with my mother, and what was supposed to be a celebration turned into a huge disappointment. My mother ordered chicken and I ordered salmon salad. When I was served, I was given sambu salad, which I hadn't ordered. They apologized, and they promised me a salmon salad. After 20 minutes, we were asked if everything was to our liking. I said, "No, I didn't get my dish, and my mother's food was cold." The waitress was shocked and immediately went to inquire. After another 20 minutes, I received my salmon salad. It consisted of large lettuce leaves, capers, and a hunk of salmon. It looked like it had been made quickly, but it certainly wasn't made with love. After the first bite, I was practically done... it was like sand, and my teeth were gritting. I ate the salmon, but not the rest. When I got the bill, they asked again if everything tasted good. I said no again: my mother's chicken was cold, the salad was way too late... no, it was just not good. I said I wanted a discount, and the waitress left. It took ages. Mom and I got up, and the same woman came again with the bill... uh, what did I say? The discount, you were going to ask about that. We walked forward and saw a bizarre argument between two women. Someone else took over, saying we didn't have to pay for the bottle of water. My mother paid the bill and said, "Come on, let's go." We were disappointed, sad, and angry—unbelievable, never experienced that before. We continued talking in the car. Normally, we would have had dessert, which we missed. We drove to McDonald's drive-through and got our delicious soft-serve dessert there. What a flop! We saved our asses off for a trip, and then this. So awful.

very warm welcome, succulent meal on a pretty terrace

Unfortunately, we couldn't order lunch. There were no pastries with the coffee. The staff clearly weren't interested in a group of 12, including three small children. So we only had coffee and soft drinks. The wait time was very long.

A bit of chaos on the terrace, everything appeared to be reserved but this was only mentioned on a few tables. During our meal the entire terrace was only a third full. Food quite expensive for what it was. The young lady who did the reception was very friendly, fast and how busy she was with the reception, taking orders at the cash register and telephone. Hats off!!!! She remained calm

You wouldn't expect this restaurant when driving through the industrial area; it's located right on the water with a beautiful view. We had a good meal, but had to return the first bowl due to my sesame intolerance, even though I mentioned it when ordering. Part of the interior is reminiscent of a construction site.

Delicious food, excellent service, beautiful location.

Very strange; we ordered 2X uitsmijter with ham + cheese. We got 1X what we ordered, but 1 uitsmijter without ham and without cheese??? No explanation received how something like this could happen.

Great restaurant with delicious sushi. Really excellent. Recommended!!

A great place to grab a bite (or a large one). 80€ for 3 people and treat yourself.

Very cozy atmosphere. Nice service, and a top location! Top food and had a nice evening.

Very nice place to have a drink on the terrace. Too bad it's not very clean.

Great food and very cozy! Make sure to make a reservation!

.Didn't eat but had a beer several times with friends. Great atmosphere!

Once again had a wonderful evening at BASTA. Compliments to the chef. But also the whole team, the service and ambiance is great!

Nice location! But it needs more attention to everything.

Na mailcontact te hebben gehad met de manager Jasper hebben we er voor gekozen om voor Basta te gaan. In eerste instantie waren sommigen van ons gezelschap een beetje sceptisch over het shared dining concept. Maar na de eerste ronde was iedereen om. Dank voor de fijne avond, wij komen zeker terug!

A bit of a different concept but very nice. Food was excellent. Service very friendly.

Was a nice location Trendy place but a pleasant atmosphere There were a group of 10, including a number of teenagers who enjoyed delicious sushi and the old people who also had a more than excellent meal with the separate shared dining dishes. Something went wrong during the service, but it was resolved in a very competent and correct manner by manager Jasper. It was our annual family weekend in Zeeland, and we will definitely go back next year. Recommended!

nice place, good food, not cheap but the tasty food made up for that. It's also wonderful how a noisy place was completely silent on May 4. nice place

A fantastic restaurant... cheerful and friendly staff... highly recommended

lovely restaurant, super cozy and really delicious food!!!

This is a good place to have a dinner and enjoy the view and atmosphere. Food is delicious

A nice spot for a cappuccino and a rest

We were the only guests and only had a cup of coffee. A prime location on the harbor. Sympathetic service.

Perfect dining, very delicious and distinguished

Good service Can get busy. Good outdoor space right o the marina.

Delicious sushi and shared dining

Good food and good service and a very cozy restaurant, a big 10

The waitress wasn't really friendly. We were a group of 10 but the bill could not be shared by 10 people and had to be paid in one go. I understand this if everyone wants to pay for their own drinks or something, but just splitting the bill with a large group is quite normal, right?!!

Excellente smaken voor vega en vis lunch shared dining principe Hoezo kleine porties? Riante bloemkool, bolitas, zuchini, mango salade en zeebaars Wij hebben genoten van de verfijnde smaken en mooi opgemaakte schalen en komen zeker terug! Incl 2 drankjes pp en koffie voor nog geen 80 euro met 2 een fantastische lunch gehad samen

Nice service and very tasty food. Delicious lunch.

Nice location. Reasonable food. Some downsides. Bottle of water charged but not served. Sea bass was very salty. Pork belly not crispy but partly gritty.

Nice atmosphere! Good food, good cocktails and good staff who understand what they are doing.

The service was patient with us (we don't speak Dutch) the food was delicious, freshly prepared, portion size for two was completely okay. It was a little too loud for us.

The prices are quite expensive, but the dishes are very very good

Beth. That assistant manager is a legend by the way

Echt een goore tent op de wc zat een groepje jongeren te vapen de obers zijn onaardig en het eeten smaqkten naar water ik ben een fijnproever en kon hier niks mee

Far too small table. Six of us on the round bench. Food and drinks did not fit on the table. Little movement possible

Good atmosphere, delicious food.

Delicious food! Super cozy atmosphere.

Came here for dinner after enjoying the surroundings. Shared dining can be amazing, if the food is done well. Luckily the food exceeded our expectations and every dish tasted very fresh and had a good variety of flavour. Our favourites were the Iberico ribs, the creamy & spicy scallops and the Nikkei oysters. Very atmospheric place, friendly staff and overall a really good experience. Will visit again!

Delicious food and very friendly staff!

Beautiful restaurant, cozy atmosphere, good service.

We received a very friendly welcome as we had a birthday boy and the table was festively decorated Delicious food, good drinks, service very good, nothing was too crazy

Delicious food, but especially the cozy atmosphere and super nice service. I feel completely at home there. Big 10. Ingrid van Oest

The food was virtually perfect! Good wines and a great atmosphere. We will be back soon!

For the umpteenth time, I was old and familiar with Basta again, always a guaranteed fun outing/party. Not only is the food great, but the service is always nice and helpful, thanks again for a well-organized, enjoyable lunch! we enjoyed it until next time xx

This afternoon, November 10, I went to BASTA and I don't recommend it to anyone. We had a sea bass A la Plncha dish with green asparagus... those asparagus were inedible. The bill also included drinks from other people. We think this is very sloppy not a good thing, and will NEVER go there again. P.s. I didn't have those Vega Nachos, but I did count.??? Yours sincerely, Mrs.A.Gijsbers

Great asparagus. Wine advice was great, we will definitely come back

A really nice concept. Been a few times with friends. Nice service and delicious food. Highly recommended.

Few and overpriced vegan options. A bowl with mostly rice and some vegetables for €16.50

Delicious food. Friendly smooth service. Was completely full. Location is remote, plenty of parking

Great people work there with excellent craftsmanship and unprecedented friendliness. A nice experience.

Went last night. Great service, food was of good quality, but you really have to love the concept of 'shared dining'! Because you constantly have many different small plates on the table, it is also 'restless' and often difficult to have good conversations, for example. But the quality itself is fine.

Very nice location and a cozy restaurant. The staff is SUPER nice!;) Greetings Mara, Fem, Nien and Juul

Gezellige, mooie tent! Leuke locatie en top eten, aardige bediening! Verrassend lekker gegeten! Ga er zeker nog eens heen.

We are regular guests here and come regularly. The atmosphere is always pleasant. The food was a bit less for a while, this was due to taste and dishes that were not in stock. Tonight everything was there and very tasty. We enjoyed it again until next time!

In an unusual location. At the end of Stellendam's fishing harbour. The building looks quite attractive inside. Very nice and not unimportant, knowledgeable staff. Shared dining principle where you can choose from many dishes, including sushi. Quite a large drinks menu. In general, there is no shortage of choice and good quality. That leaves the price. Price/quality ratio is on the high side compared to other businesses that use the same principle.

Delicious food and congratulations to the hardworking service!

fantastic tent, top staff, tasty drinks Are you looking for a top tent?! Go for BASTA!!

If someone asks me what I think of Basta, I would say that it is a nice place. If someone asked me on a deeper level, I would say that my heart lies with Basta. This place is my everything and I don't have a bad word to say about it. I would like to recommend everyone to come here at least once For 1 drink. 100 points greetings Tristan

Top restaurant, good food and nice staff! Definitely recommended.

You can eat very well here... hats off... but there is always something wrong with the service... and that is always a shame when the food is good... Example... explained by a young lady from the staff how it works...That went very quickly the 1st time...🤔...and later I asked her to repeat "How it works"...and again it went very quickly and I requested to explain it more calmly...which did NOT work...Unfortunately!!...Then with serving the dishes in bowls...NOWHERE serving spoons or anything...HUH..!!.. .We asked for that...and we were given 4 spoons or so...which was taken with us when we cleared the table.... The next round...again...bowls with dishes...and YES... again no serving spoons!!!...Are they not learning anything from this or...🥴🤔.... So the restaurant owner....Please keep an eye on this... That really helps.... good service.....The food was OK...and I hope that when I come next time...with friends....that this will be done....

Good food, very friendly and good staff, nice cozy atmosphere

Always good, we love coming there!

Wonderful restaurant. Cozy location, cozy terrace, customer-friendly staff and the food was delicious. There is a lot of choice. Definitely recommended.

This was once and not again. Basta! The serving time was very long. (also for the drinks) the ordered bouncer was stuck to an elongated rough dish and I had to scrape it out of the dish. The 2 slices of bread without butter were on top of this. Fortunately there was still a plate on which the cutlery had been placed, otherwise it would have been impossible to manage at all. My companion had a Caesar salad. Unfortunately for both of us, the head of iceberg salad was almost gone, and our "lettuce" consisted of light green stuff with only veins.

Unfortunately we weren't even greeted with a hello but rather with a question asking if anyone could help us. We then asked for a menu while standing and one was handed to us. After 10 minutes the lady came and asked us what we wanted to drink. We didn't even have a drinks menu, only the two of us had a menu. We then ordered a cappuccino and a beer. Four older people came after us and were served immediately and a water bowl was brought to their dog and we weren't even asked if we would like some water for our little dog... We then paid straight away and left. The first time we felt so unwanted.

Afterwards I had intestinal complaints from tuna bread.

Nice restaurant at the harbour. Shared dining concept. Delicious food, friendly staff. Definitely recommended to visit! Nice cocktails too.

Relaxed atmosphere. excellent food, beautiful view over the marina

The lunch was excellent from croquette bread to BBQ chicken

Buiten op het terras mochten we zelf nog kiezen uit een aantal tafels. Lekker Sharing Dining, elk gerecht kan je met zijn 2tjes delen . De gerechten zagen er fantastisch uit en smaakten ook voortreffelijk. Er ging af en toe wel iets mis, zo kregen wij gerechten die we niet hadden besteld en zagen we onze gerechten bij een ander werden gebracht. Gelukkig werd het opgelost. Soms was het wel lang wachten, daardoor had je wel iedere ronde weer trek. Een minpuntje is wel de tafel die van planken is gemaakt met veel ruimte ertussen, dus moest je opletten dat je bestek er niet tussen valt.

The place has a nice outside area. We had a big table for the 12 of us for lunch. However, the food took a long time to arrive and there were several mistakes. Some of us had long finished eating when the others were still waiting. One of us got chicken instead of tuna. The tosti’s were not very good. I did enjoy my goat cheese salad though.

The downside was the food...the meat was just tough. The staff and ambiance were good. Maybe pay a little more attention to the customer, because then more drinks would have been sold and the food would have gone back to the Chef.

Actually one of our favorite restaurants! Today we waited a very long time for our food and everything came one by one. It can happen, the service was super nice and committed. To compensate for the long wait, we got drinks on the house. However, we were a bit disappointed with the food, definitely not as tasty as usual and the price/performance ratio was very disproportionate, for example with 3 florets of cauliflower with a few nuts on it for €9. We will still come back again :)

Wow, had lunch here with my mates. 16 euros pp, good service and tasty croquettes. Recommended.

Atmosphere is super nice and very pleasant staff. You must go here if you are in the area.

What a wonderful place to have lunch. Cozy atmosphere, tasty food and really phenomenal service. Compliments!!!

Sitting for 40 minutes waiting for coffee and a piece of cake. Vacuuming and mopping several times wouldn't be a bad idea either.
