Bella's Smakbar in Wijk 05 Buitengebied

Waiting 35 minutes! And then… lovely, no donuts for the kids because they’re sold out. And lovely, no pulled pork sandwich either, because those are sold out too! They still use the old-fashioned shouting system here: you order something and then the person behind the counter repeats it veeeery loud, so the kitchen can hear it too. They can barely get the apple pie right themselves (which they get from the freezer at the wholesaler, of course), #howisthatpossible #defrostingisalsoanexpert.

Stand in line for 50 minutes for a hamburger and some fries while food for 8 people takes priority. Waited too long, really not convenient.

Small terrace on the street, but cozy and lots to see. Really spacious inside. Nice pool tables. Prompt service and a pleasant, casual atmosphere.

Great service, good value for money, thanks for the delicious food

Terribly stingy! The place looks nice, so you might quickly expect good quality in food and service. But the opposite turned out to be true. Our slightly overzealous waitress almost tackled her colleagues to shamelessly shout that she was taking the orders. In addition, our son was denied a glass of normal tap water, after we had already ordered I don't know how many rounds of (overly) expensive drinks. The food was pretty okay for a bistro, but then expect that price level. All in all, a regrettable experience; fortunately, we did have a good time, and that is the most important thing.
