De Koffiesilo in Wijk 04 Wieringen

Basalt is no longer what it used to be. A simple menu with good dishes. The service still had a lot to learn, and the food tasted okay, but that is about all there is to say. Unfortunately, there is no atmosphere.

A bizarre experience; you should actually be paid to eat here. Basically, all the meat they prepare is as tough as a shoe sole. There were beef tenderloin tips; well, if that was beef tenderloin, my brother's name is Lionel Messi. We had to spit out more than half of it because no one could get it down. The salads are tasteless. Tasteless peanut sauce? No satay skewers available. Onion carpaccio without pine nuts and Parmesan? Who comes up with this stuff? Even the herb butter was disgusting; how do they actually manage to pull it all off? Anyway, I could go on for a while. It's just a matter of waiting for food poisoning. My girlfriend already has a bad stomach ache, and my stomach is starting to rumble too. By the way, the service was perfectly fine; that wasn't the issue. In short, a bizarrely dramatic place. I advise everyone to stay away from here.

Food good, cozy atmosphere. The pan-cooked pork tenderloin was a real treat.

What a great restaurant. Very friendly service; the staff neatly placed the drinks with the label facing the guests, as it should be. The food was very good and the atmosphere was good because you could hear each other well, even though there were quite a few guests. It was nice that you could also look into the kitchen. This is highly recommended.

I stumbled upon De Smulhoek by chance! What amazing service and great value for money!
