La Presa in Binnenstad

A wonderful weekend surprise in Middelburg: this adorable little restaurant in Middelburg. Full of delicious, refined and tasty tapas to share! Great terrace, attentive and pleasant service, can't wait to come back!

On August 6th, two of us had a wonderful meal at this cozy restaurant. The menu features some truly surprising dishes. The wine list is also excellent. The options are clearly explained. The food is of exceptionally good quality. The service is very prompt and friendly. We will definitely be back!

Fijne ontvangst, heerlijk gegeten. Wij komen hier zeker nog eens terug! De paling & langzaam gegaarde buikspek, de Korean fried chicken & de iberico Presa waren favoriet. We zaten buiten en dochter had het koud- geen nood, een fleece dekentje was voorhanden.

Wow, this is a great place. Everything is perfect. Everything you order tastes fantastic, especially paired with the delicious Merlot house wine. Friendly and attentive service. So, walk on over to Damplein for a fantastic evening of fine dining.

Very tasty. We had three carte blanche dishes, crispy duck, and fish cakes. Everything was quick and delicious. A minor complaint: a lot of fat and no vegetables. The last course, the steak in a sweet sauce, wasn't a success. The wine was great, and the service (owner, perhaps?) was very pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, criticism is not welcome. After giving many compliments, I remarked that the fish cakes weren't easy to cut, and was told, "Everything is small, so that's not important." Suddenly, there was no big smile or time to pay attention. A shame...

We had an incredibly delicious meal here, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Friendly service, and the owner is passionate and passionate about his place.

A very pleasant restaurant with a variety of options. It's primarily a fish restaurant, but they do have a variety of options. Fast service and a nice interior.

Nous aurions adoré goûter la cuisine de ce restaurant malheureusement les 4 personnes qui officiaient le soir de notre passage n'avaient apparemment pas envie d'accueillir du monde. Nous avons poireauté environ 3 minutes dans l'entrée du restaurant à quelques mètres du cuistot et de deux des trois serveurs présents, personne ne nous a adresse ne serait-ce qu'un regard. Alors dire bonjour... Mon compagnon a tenté de s'adresser à eux, sans plus de succès tant ils étaient affairés à discuter avec ce qui semblait être un habité. Nous avons décidé d'aller manger ailleurs !

We celebrated my husband's birthday. You often create the atmosphere yourself, and it was perfect. The food was delicious and plenty for two. A lovely bottle of Australian wine was included, though a bit pricey. We brought candles for dessert. We'll definitely be back and will sit outside.

We wanted to eat there with 4 people, reserved 2 months ago, arrived there and they said great we are full! And they did nothing to arrange anything. very bad! We were the 2nd group that they could not earn money from

Booked 2 months in advance. When you get there they say we are full. Also indicated that we were not the only ones.

We discovered this restaurant by chance and spontaneously stopped in. We were absolutely thrilled! Excellent food and a very pleasant atmosphere.

Delicious food in an exceptional ambience

We had a wonderful meal at the "surprise dinner"! With 6 people we couldn't order from the menu. But what a treat this was with the 9 dishes! So well cared for and refined in taste, super!

Delicious tapas restaurant! The quantities were meager for the price paid, but everything was of very high quality. The service could be improved (greeting, follow-up of the meal). Overall, I recommend it for those who like good food and are willing to pay for it ;)

Top tapaszaak gewoonweg heel goed. Van begin tot eind. Diverse gerechtjes genomen allemaal zeer smaakvol. Ook de wijn was goed en doen baar van prijs. Voor onze zeker een favoriet

A wonderful host and a great team. The tapas are generous and very tasty. Fine wines complete the experience. We look forward to our next visit. Update after four weeks. Today we had a wonderful time sitting in the sun. The service was again very friendly and attentive. The kitchen produced delicious food, each dish a perfect creation. The chef takes great care of his guests. We're looking forward to October.

Une cuisine fine et raffinée. Beaucoup de saveurs différentes. L'accueil est très sympathique. Nous pouvons voir les cuisiniers travailler.

Employés du restaurant très sympathiques et serviables ont proposé une meilleure table dès que d'autres clients avaient finis Concept de tapas original, produits de qualité, très variés et très bons Propriétaire répond volontiers aux questions, on ne se sent pas chasser même si l'heure est tardive

Excellent restaurant with great food and good service. Would definitely go here again when I’m in town

We had dinner at La Presa in Middelburg tonight and were really surprised! We were actually looking for a tapas restaurant and ended up here by chance — the shared dining concept was a perfect fit. All the dishes we received were all super tasty, well-flavored, beautifully prepared and just the right portions. Really better than expected! The location is also very nice: a small, attractive restaurant with a cozy interior. We sat next to the open kitchen, which added a nice extra dimension — you can see everything being freshly prepared. The service was also very friendly and cooperative, also very nice to the children. All in all we had a really great evening. We will definitely come back here again!

Rarely have I eaten such delicious tapas. This in combination with The nice service completed the evening completely. Thank you!

Super tasty food, very tasty, service a bit chaotic but everything was well organised

Popular location on a small square in the center of Middelburg with excellent food and wine served by friendly staff

Everything is right here, the food is very good. Nice service and a beautiful terrace/interior. Recommended! You can enjoy several dishes in one evening. Definitely worth it.

Fantastic food, really tasty dishes, each and every one! Very nice and friendly staff. The tables inside and decor are fairly simple. Too bad it's so small, a bigger place wouldn't be out of place. I would have liked to eat everything on the menu, it was really great. We would love to come back next time!

While strolling through Middelburg we discovered the small restaurant "La Presa". There was already a sign on the door saying they were fully booked for the evening. We asked for the next evening and were lucky. The dining room isn't really big and we sat right in front of the open kitchen. To explain, the plan is to share portions, similar to Spanish tapas. The very friendly and attentive service (actually everyone on the team takes on all the tasks) explained the restaurant's system to us. So we ordered the first round. The small delicacies were freshly prepared in front of our eyes (open kitchen). Each one is a trip to different countries. Cooked to perfection and each portion bursts with flavor. You could taste that someone here cooks with joy and love. All in all it was a highlight of our holiday, we will definitely come back if we are in Middelburg again. An absolute recommendation, but you should reserve very early, we were told we were lucky to get a table. Visit “La Presa”, it’s worth it!

Wir reisen oft und besuchen gerne Restaurants. Es ist jedes Mal eine Überraschung. Im La Presa in Middelburg war es die beste Überraschung seit langer Zeit. Obwohl unsere Reise "nur" nach Seeland ging, an diesem Abend sind wir um die ganze Welt gereist. Nach Indien, nach Sizilien, nach Frankreich... Bei jeder einzelnen Speise merkte man: Hier kochen Leute, die Spaß an Aromen und Geschmäckern haben. Hier arbeiten Leute, die mit Herzblut bei der Sache sind. Hier sind Mensch am Werk, die mit Kreativität und Spaß das Genussvollste aus den Zutaten herausholen. Es war wirklich ein ganz besonderer Abend, wir hatten großes Glück, hier zu essen, und wir kommen sehr sehr gerne wieder. Absolute Empfehlung!

Beim Schlendern durch Middelburg entdeckten wir das kleine Restaurant "La Presa". An der Tür hing schon das Schild, man sei ausgebucht für den Abend. Wir fragten für den nächsten Abend an und hatten Glück. Der Gastraum ist nicht wirklich groß und wir saßen genau vor der offenen Küche. Zur Erklärung, es ist angedacht sich die Portionen zu teilen, ähnlich wie bei spanischen Tapas. Der sehr freundliche und aufmerksame Service (eigentlich übernimmt jeder vom Team alle Aufgaben) erklärte uns das System des Restaurants. Wir bestellten also die erste Runde. Vor unseren Augen (offene Küche) wurden die kleinen Köstlichkeiten frisch zubereitet. Jedes für sich eine Reise in andere Länder. Auf den Punkt gegart und jede Portion eine Fülle von Aromen. Man schmeckte, hier kocht jemand mit Freude und Liebe. Alles in Allem war es ein Highlight in unserem Urlaub, wir werden definitiv noch einmal einkehren, sollten wir noch einmal in Middelburg sein. Eine absolute Empfehlung, man sollte aber sehr früh reservieren, man sagte uns, wir hätten Glück gehabt einen Tisch zu bekommen. Besucht das "La Presa", es lohnt sich!

Very Nice good with very Nice Service

La Presa is ons favoriete restaurant waar we dan ook regelmatig heengaan. De gerechten zijn een ware smaaksensatie , echt genieten Ook genieten van de heerlijke wijnen/cava en natuurlijk ook een lekker biertje. Robert is het vaste gezicht van La Presa en een echte gastheer!

Really delicious food, super friendly service and pleasant atmosphere. We will definitely come back!

Amazing and unusual food for a decent price. We had a great time and loved it

Great restaurant, small and intimate with superb dishes. Highly recommend the slow-baked pork and Spanish pork, as well as the mushroom croquettes. Really enjoyed watching the kitchen staff preparing the food and discussions with the owner about the food and wine. Highly recommended!

Yesterday the 3 of us had dinner at La Presa, actually everything we ordered was delicious! From the cocktails to the dessert. All dishes were well seasoned and the plates were beautifully presented.

All dishes are excellent, lots of flavor and a beautiful presentation. Enjoy it immensely with an incredibly delicious red wine. The service also dares to advise when in doubt. It is pricey, but in our opinion it is completely worth it. Best in town!

Delicious food. They do work with time slots here (Saturday), but this was clearly indicated in advance. We had plenty of time for our 8 dishes and dessert. Everything was served on time. Service was very friendly and pleasant atmosphere. Recommended!

Recommended! Good food, friendly service and a quiet but attractive tent.

We were rudely sent out of the restaurant because we were only allowed to sit for 2 hours. We were abruptly told that we were not allowed to order dessert and had to leave quickly. This was quite contradictory to the slow service at the beginning, so it took half an hour before we got our first round. In total we could only order 9 tapas in our time due to the slow service.

At La Presa we enjoyed delicious dishes – really tasty and well prepared. Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by a few annoying points. There were a lot of flies present, which significantly disrupted the comfort. In addition, we had to wait an unnecessarily long time for our first round of tapas. To make matters worse, we were told around 7:30 PM that it would close at 8:00 PM, so we were no longer allowed to order dessert. This announcement was delivered in a particularly rude manner. In our opinion, it was mainly their own fault that the waiting time took so long, which meant that the entire evening was no longer completely balanced. Hopefully these points will be addressed in the future so that the quality of the food can play the leading role again.

Tasty food, nice atmosphere. But we didn't like the concept of shared dining.

Nice place, delicious food, a bit on the pricey side but worth it.

How incredibly fantastic! Really great food! We regularly go for a bite to eat somewhere, often it is recognizable and tasty or even better at home, but at La Presa it is on a different level! Very refined fantastic dishes! It's been a long time since we enjoyed it so much. Many thanks and see you soon!

Always nice to be at la presa. Good food and personal service are the ingredients for a pleasant evening out. Thank you!

Engaging waiter, excellent food both the presentation, the taste and the variety. Sharing the dishes is fun. A great culinary discovery!

I have never had better food in the Netherlands. In addition to the Asian tapas, mussels with chorizo ​​and Spanish bacon were the personal highlight

We had a really nice evening. The cocktails were incredibly good. The food was also really great. We really liked the concept of ordering several small things one at a time and sharing them if necessary. Thank you!

Cozy location and atmospheric with delicious food

Impossible. We called shortly beforehand based on a recommendation and were promised a table for five people, but with a time slot of only 1 1/4 hours. It was fine for us, we just wanted to eat quickly and well. When we arrived we were told that there was a table available but not enough chairs. The explanation was the following, adventurous story: the boss would live in Greece, monitor everything via camera and distribute the tables. But he probably wouldn't have seen that there weren't enough chairs at the table in question. That was it, we were asked out straight away, a short apology, no offer for the next few days or anything like that. In any case, we have never experienced anything so strange. Maybe because we are a family with three children?

Geweldig leuk, sfeervol, klein en pittoresk tentje in Middelburg! Uitstekende service, heerlijk eten, goede prijs/kwaliteitverhouding, mooie porties en zeer smaakvol! Aanrader en wij komen nog eens terug. Dank voor de fijne avond :-)

Nice atmosphere, good service and delicious food. Compliments

Ate here last night! Everything great! The pork belly and beef tataki are great! Price/quality very good! We live in The Hague but will definitely come back again.

2 weken geleden waren we een weekendje weg in Middelburg. Ondanks dat we 3 weken van tevoren gereserveerd hadden konden we enkel nog op het hoekje van een hoge tafel aan het raam zitten. We mochten geen tafel voor 4 met zijn 2-en terwijl andere stellen hier wel aan zaten. Toen men ook nog de jassen van het personeel niet weg wilde halen op de voor onze bestemde plek zijn we ergens anders gaan eten waar we wel met open armen werden ontvangen. We eten vaak buiten de deur door letterlijk heel Nederland, maar dit was een dieptepunt. Zelden zijn we zo onbeschoft behandeld.

Nice and cozy restaurant with delicious food and nice and friendly service!

Shared dining with super tasty dishes. Well advised by friendly and enthusiastic staff. Reservations are a must, the place was really full.

Highly recommended, tasty dishes, great service and good atmosphere. Everything is right here. Tip: choose the carte blanche menu (€50 pp) and let the chef make a choice.

Very tasty meal. Cozy atmosphere and fantastic service! Everything in perfect order. Definitely come by if you are in Middelburg.

Food was delicious! Helly Henson

I've never had the urge to write a review but the food was so delicious that I felt I had to write a review. The porkbelly was great

Delicious food and a great atmosphere.

We took the surprise menu. But due to allergy without pork. They took that into account. The shrimp in oyster cream sauce was especially great.

What a cozy, atmospheric great restaurant. The food is delicious, well-filled glasses of wine. You hardly see that anywhere anymore and also for a very nice price. From me you get a 5+++, highly recommended. We would love to come and eat again!

Phenomenal food. Really good quality. Service top notch. You will be completely pampered.

Delicious food and compliments to the chef. The only disadvantage is noise and stench when you sit near the kitchen.

Genieten met een hoofdletter G!! Heerlijke Tapas, mooi geserveerd en opgemaakt, zeer fijn van smaak. Voldoende keus. Heerlijk!! Gezellige open sfeer, fantastische muziek, kortom aanrader!

Good experience, very tasty restaurant, great concept: only tapas to share. New interpretations of classics. Very attentive, nice team and perfect location in the middle of Middelburg with good parking

Delicious dishes, tasty wines and friendly staff Nice, cozy atmosphere. La Presa highly recommended💯 Tip: Flat bread

Ate here yesterday. Small but delicious dishes to which a lot of attention has clearly been paid. Very friendly service. Fantastic wine and a normal glass and no silly layer! Highly recommended to eat here!

One of the better restaurants in Middelburg, nothing massive, nice and small and cozy. And the food was delicious again.

Food was very good, excellent service and a friendly staff. We took the menu we're you don't have to choose. All was good and a lot of food . Compliments to the chefs and the staff.

Absoluut beneden peil Echt het geld niet waard Geen aanrader Wij komen hier nooit meer Personeel super maar dat is ook echt alles

We werden super vriendelijk ontvangen door Jeroen (zijn naam hoorden we pas later 😃). We kregen een hoog tafeltje aan het raam. Perfect 👌🏻. Het eten was ongelofelijk lekker, wat we ook bestelden en samen deelden, we vonden het allemaal even lekker! Chapeau voor Jeroen en natuurlijk ook voor de andere vriendelijke medewerkers! Wij komen zeker terug! 🙌🏻

Super tasty food, nice formula.

We hebben genoten van de meest heerlijke gerechten die je ook samen kunt delen. Een toppertje in Middelburg! Qua service ook dik in orde. Hier ga je niet uit “eten” maar is het “smullen” geblazen! We komen héél graag terug.

Een heel fijn, ongedwongen pareltje met heerlijke gerechtjes. En bij tapas denk je al snel aan mediterraans, maar ook de oosterse keuken is bij La Presa goed vertegenwoordigd. Leuke medewerkers en mooie wijnen maken het etentje compleet. Wat ons betreft waren de gamba’s en korean chicken favoriet. Maar niets viel tegen!

This restaurant can be seen as a tapas or shared dinner and is therefore a competitor with El Mosquito and El Corazon. We took a surprise menu with 3 rounds of 3 dishes and a dessert. I have to say, it was a bit much, so you should only choose this if you are very hungry and can finish it. With a spot by the window you can look outside, but with the sun in front and the kitchen behind it can get very warm there. Back to the dishes,... yep, they were very tasty! Definitely recommended to eat here. In comparison? I'm a fan of El Mosquito, but this is just as good. Where the 1 only really serves Spanish things, here you have a more varied range of cuisines. It's definitely better than El Corazon. You can sit outside, and there are also some nice places inside. It's not big, but that makes it a bit more intimate. Just try it out!

Great food in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. It’s not fussy cooking but all appears to be prepared in house with care and attention. Nice wine list with quite a number of interesting wines available by the glass.

Food is ok, but not great. The portions are mini compared to photos online... you can see that this saves money. Staff have exaggerated sense of self-esteem and self-importance.

Very nice restaurant. Had 6 tapas dishes and they were all equally delicious. Super friendly staff. Definitely recommended to go.

One word, or rather three: OH.MY.GOD! (And we are somewhat ordinary in culinary terms.)

Delicious food!!! Beautifully laid out plates with tappas sized dishes. Nice atmosphere with nice music in the background. It is a small restaurant so if you want to be sure of a spot, I would book in advance. The service is excellent, great hosts Robert and Stephan. Extensive wine list and also nice mock tails/cocktails. Outside on the terrace you can enjoy the evening sun for a long time. You see the sun disappear behind the Lange Jan. In short, highly recommended in beautiful Middelburg.

What a fantastic restaurant! Small delicious dishes. To enjoy. Friendly staff. We would love to come back here!

Great thing. We arrived unexpectedly on Saturday, July 27, which was our 46th wedding anniversary. People never knew this, but table 1 was still prepared, what a service. The food was excellent, the service excellent. We will definitely eat here again when we are in Middelburg again.

Must be quite tasty food, but smoking and very rude staff!!

Unfriendly, almost rude staff. Do you still have a table available? “No, you must reserve three weeks in advance. But of course there is a reason for that.” The website shows that reservations can still be made every day for the coming week... with staff rolling their eyes because we take a seat outside while it is dripping a little. Overpriced small dishes: dry chicken thighs, 2 mini pieces of brownie for dessert for 12.50 euros. It is a mystery to us why this restaurant has 4.7 stars.

What a nice and delicious restaurant. Not a single dish was disappointing. The chef recommended the eel to us and it was delicious. The cocktail was also super tasty. In addition to the delicious food, tasty wine and cocktails, there was also a nice atmosphere. All the staff are friendly. Had a really wonderful evening, lots of laughs and delicious food. We went back to the hotel with a very good feeling. All in all, I will recommend this restaurant to everyone. If I lived closer this would be my go to restaurant. Hope to see you!

We had a great evening at La Presa! Warm welcome, exceptional service and above all H E R L I J K food! Seated at the chef's table, we could also enjoy the European Championship match between the Netherlands and Turkey! La Presa is highly recommended!!

Delicious plates of tapas to share

Literally everything is fantastic about this restaurant. Delicious food, great service, good wines. If I lived in the area this would become my go-to restaurant. Truly sublime!

Very tasty, friendly service, comfortable seating

What a wonderful place to eat. A small setting, friendly service and delicious dishes. In addition, sufficient choice of different wines. We had a great evening.

Delicious dishes to share! Pure and honest food. Nice service. Recommended!

Open kitchen with great chef. Great.

Favorite restaurant in Middelburg! Delicious dishes, top service and cozy atmosphere.

Great food, top quality with very friendly staff and a great chef!

A culinary tapa orgasm, just ask Jeroen the cook what to eat and you will be in heaven, flat bread with fresh figs, sardines, calamari chorizo ​​croquettes and pork belly with eel cooked for 3 days, estupendo e meraviglioso 😋😋😋

Tasty tapas, nice friendly staff. Delicious food, will definitely return.

At first the food was very good, then a spoiled fish arrived, the limoncello on the house was not an appropriate reaction here. But what was really bad when asked was the information that there were no nuts in the dessert. Unfortunately, the nut allergy proved the opposite and that's where the fun ends!

This was great! We will definitely come back here again!

Delicious, original, cozy, friendly, great!
