Today we ordered two Caesar salads, but unfortunately it was very disappointing. The lettuce was not cut and consisted of huge pieces, which made eating it very awkward. In addition, there was a lot of fat on the chicken, which made it completely unappetizing - I didn't even touch it. This is absolutely not how a Caesar salad should be. I would not recommend it.

Delicious mushroom risotto and mussels, the cakes were also tasty. Would recommend the chocolate pie most. The interior is lovely, that french bistro vibe. Love that. Very friendly staff, a bit slow and not always noticing you while it was not that busy. But we were not in a hurry, which means for us it is fine for others that might be an issue. There was a small issue with the wine, it was really sour somehow. They were so nice to switch it for another one. Highly appreciate that part of their service.

We went to eat today, we didn't have a reservation but they took us anyway. Very modern place with a good atmosphere and people. We ordered the onion soup which was very good, a steak tartare which was spectacular and a Caesar salad for starters. For the main course, the duck, which was very well presented and the meat tender and juicy, and the petit mushroom risotto, which was brutal. It's not cheap but it's worth it, everything is very good, quality product and 10 presentation.

Upon entering we were seated next to a couple who also used our table and the chairs that came with it. Because it felt like we were sitting at their table, we walked to another table. We couldn't sit there because of students who sat next to it and had literally turned it into their study space. Their power cord ran along our table. We wanted to have a quiet lunch together, but we didn't get a "restaurant" feeling but more of a student canteen where everyone felt a little too much at home. We left the “restaurant” out of misery. I don't feel like sitting on someone else's lip and having to eat my sandwich while someone 10 cm away is typing frantically on her laptop. The service was also very unfriendly. Last time for me.

Er valt niets aan te merken op het eten. Voorgerechten en hoofdgerechten zijn heerlijk. Je kunt kiezen voor kleine of grote versies van verschillende gerechten, waarbij de kleine boeuf bourguignon voor mij zelfs nog te groot was. Bediening is erg druk, wat er toe leidt dat het in het begin van de avond allemaal wat langer duurt. Het comfort laat dan wel wat te wensen over. We zitten met z'n vieren aan twee kleine ronde tafeltjes. Het past allemaal maar net! Harde houten stoeltjes en een bankje zijn ons zitgemak. Gelukkig liggen er wat kussentjes....

Nice service and kind people, but for a French it is a bit disappointing. We had a breakfast, the omelette was not baveuse at all and maybe a bit big. Served only with bread in a not so beautyful setting. The friends eggs which ham and cheese where set as a sort of tartine with the cheese melted on the eggs on the top of two slices of ham. It was too big and maybe not matching the quality we are used to. It was a bit too much. I did not like the taste after few bites. Overall the cafe is medium. I am quite difficult with that. But it is ok to stop here.

Nos quedamos sorprendidos y encantados en nuestra cena aquí. El sarro perfecto de carne de mi esposa fue el más hermoso que ha tenido en cualquier lugar. Mis fish & chips "ordinarios" eran cualquier cosa menos ordinarios y la presentación más creativa para un plato tan básico de la historia. Hubo una especie de montículo que supongo vegetal, tal vez incluso papa, que de alguna manera había sido cortado en mechones delgados de cabello y frito. Se veía espectacular. En lugar de la típica olla pequeña de salsa tártara, el pescado estaba rodeado de una salsa espesa que estaba más que deliciosa. Ahora he sido mimado por fish & chips ya que nadie puede salir a hacer esto. Las palabras no pueden hacer justicia a esta comida. El servicio fue excelente y solo deseamos que este restaurante estuviera en casa ya que cenaríamos allí al menos una vez a la semana.

Pierre’s way of cooking french onion soup was trash! The food was mediocre to say the least….French onion soup(onions were not caramelized, more al dente,l very thin broth…)They were out of the mussels so we ordered the prawns(came as if previously frozen, and kind of like warm shrimp cocktail prawns) They were served in a lemon ‘broth’ which was like water with lemon mixed with raw(maybe blanched for 30 seconds)snow peas and green beans…(do not recommend). The sweet potato fries were fantastic! I would never revisit this establishment again, or recommend it to someone else. Bottled wine and fries were the highlight-

This review is based on a single visit on a Saturday afternoon on the terrace. It is a French style brasserie. The menu is therefore also based on French cuisine.

Had dinner at Pierre's more than once and had a delicious meal as usual. Unfortunately the service was not as we are used to. It takes a very long time for drinks and then food to be absorbed. Sitting with empty glasses for a long time before being asked for a new drink. Also spent far too long with empty plates on the table, leaving the plates behind after recording the next round. The table next to us was served exceptionally well and had new drinks before the previous glasses were empty. As it turned out, it was our own staff who were having a nice drink… It seems to me that you should treat your other guests at least as well. Won't be back there soon unfortunately.
