Restaurant Down Town Dordrecht in Wijk 02 Noordflank

I ate there with my girlfriend. The service was good. But the XXL burger wasn't an XXL burger. It was quite soggy and she didn't like it. I had the spare ribs and they had little to no flavor and had been in the fryer just a little too long. The fries weren't great either; they hadn't been in the fryer long enough and were still completely limp. We waited 40 minutes for the food and we are actually disappointed.

Definitely a very cozy restaurant

We had indicated that we needed to be at the movie on time. We had plenty of time. After asking a few times when it would be ready, we finally received our food after a long wait. Nothing special for that price. We had to wolf it down within 10 minutes or we would be too late for the movie. This was not taken into account at all. Very disorganized with the staff.

The owner is too busy with customers instead of his staff, and after waiting well over an hour for your main course, you've had enough....

Beautiful spot, friendly service, delicious food and drinks, and a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, there was only one person serving; she did a great job and help arrived later, but Down Town needs to organize that better. Especially on a day with patio weather!

You don't get all the ingredients of a dish. We missed cream cheese with a sandwich and ice cream with the dessert. If you mention this, it is also because the chef speaks poor English; honest, but not my problem. The location is great, though there is a lot of overdue maintenance. The service is top-notch. There is much more potential in this location, which is a shame.

We ate here on Friday, April 24th, and I think it was our worst restaurant experience ever :( After I asked when ordering for the (chicken) satay to be cooked thoroughly, I was served it... half-raw. Naturally, I returned it. My plate of fries and salad—which I had barely eaten—was taken away. Fine, since you eat that with your meat anyway, so I waited patiently for the new portion. It was a shame, though, that my husband and I couldn't eat together because of this. A while later, I received a small satay on a mini-plate (without fries and salad). No apologies, nothing. Guess what, *again* with completely raw pieces of chicken in it!!! So I returned it to another waitress. Whereupon our own waitress came storming over to the table saying, "I heard there are complaints here..." Uhm, quite a few, yes ;) The satay was eventually grumbledly removed from the bill. And no, unfortunately not ‘goodbye’ (she even wanted to discuss that for a moment…). Things can always go wrong once in a while, and we really aren't difficult (we almost never give anything back), but *if* things do go wrong, it’s about how you resolve it. So, here it was anything but classy. The absolute worst restaurant experience ever, in every respect! A word to the wise….

We were inside for half an hour; there was too little staff and the boss was too busy with other customers without helping out. We just left when some of his acquaintances came in and were served first. A shame, it looked good though.

Nice restaurant, celebrated my birthday there. Good food. However, if you have difficulty walking, the stairs to the toilets are a tricky one.

At 4 p.m., four of us wanted to have a drink, but the waitress turned us down, saying all tables were reserved for dinner. A bit rude. We indicated we would stay for a maximum of one hour. Eventually, we were allowed to sit down after all, with the explicit explanation that we had to leave by 6:30. Not a warm welcome. She did not pass our order on to her colleague. We had to chase after this, and the drinks arrived after nearly half an hour. People who arrived after us received the same treatment. They left again after 20 minutes. Unkempt establishment, sewage smell. A shame, because the view is beautiful.

Very nice location and awesome ambience. Very polite and supportive staff. The food is great, especially the sea food. 👍😊

Had dinner with four. Unfortunately the chicken satay (2 times kidsmenu) was raw. Not a little bit, but completely. After mentioning this, the staff took action. But came with new satay after we finished the rest of the dinner. The staff tried to work out a kind of compensation, but the owner just took the half of the price off the kidsmenus (11 euro). Overall bad experience with downtown and regular menu's are expensive as fries needs to ordered seperatly (6.50 each). Just chicken breast with fries is almost 30 euro.

Bad service, long wait and dirty toilet

Had a delicious lunch. Extensive lunch menu, lots of choices. Friendly service.

We had a 4-course meal this evening. It was excellent. You could taste the freshness and the chef's dedication. The service was excellent. We politely asked if they could clear the table, and everything was brought to our table quickly. In short, 5/5 because I wouldn't give a 10/10.

This afternoon, four of us had a delicious meal at Down Town. We made a reservation, but it turned out we didn't need one. There weren't many guests today, even though it was a Saturday. The view over the river is truly magnificent, and the price-quality ratio is excellent, in my opinion.

The food is usually delicious, but last time I had the chicken satay, and I personally didn't like the satay sauce at all. I thought it was too dark and the flavor was so strong that the chicken itself was barely noticeable. According to the staff, I was the first person to dislike it. Tastes differ, and I prefer to be honest about it. The dessert with white chocolate, cheesecake, and ice cream, you can't taste the white chocolate at all (we ordered the dessert twice). We've been there several times now, and we found this a bit of a shame. We did recommend something, and hopefully, they'll do something with it. Furthermore, the staff is friendly, it's clean, and they've made an effort to decorate the restaurant beautifully for the holidays. This created a warm atmosphere. There's ample parking, and you have a beautiful view of the water.

We enjoyed a delicious Christmas menu and beautifully selected wines with Mario and his crew. Even though the place was packed, we received fantastic service and attentive service. Fantastic!

We enjoyed a high wine with delicious food! Special compliments to Lee, a natural host who truly cares about his guests.

A three-course lunch through the social deal was delicious and more than enough! Kudos to Lee and the waitresses for their friendly service.

Nice place to have something to eat and drink, good service by friendly staff, beautiful view over the water.

Beautiful view and delicious food! I recommend it!

Delicious food and nice atmosphere, friendly staff!

A grumpy "host" who clearly didn't want to serve me lunch. I was ignored; I wasn't even greeted, and he apparently found his phone more interesting.

A nice shop with a beautiful view over the Merwede, with a view from Dordrecht to Papendrecht.

Downtown, well, what can I say? A friend invited me there for high tea. It was simply good and delicious. Funny that the tea glasses weren't there yet, and a tray arrived a bit later, but it was there. The toilet, uhmm, well, a round, unpleasant staircase down that looks quite dark. The toilets aren't really clean; they smell old and musty. The tiles didn't feel clean. Well, one smack from me, and you'll quickly get the hang of cleaning here. There was a yellowed notice in the toilet about something I can't remember now, but in short, that could use more attention. The staff? Nothing to complain about, a friendly man who really went out of his way to please the customers.

Delicious dishes in a beautiful location

A cozy place with a beautiful view of the water. The Waterbus stop is right next door.

Great location, but the food, service, and decor are just average. They asked us after two minutes if we'd made a choice yet. There are just too many tables inside, making it cramped. I've been there before, but the food hasn't gotten any better. Not bad, but not great.

Looking nice and cozy on the water

Nice little restaurant. Looks cold and bleak, but the food is delicious.

For those with allergies, just go somewhere else. Neither the staff nor the chef knows what's in their products. Soy is confused with gluten, and vegan with vegetarian. There's also no allergen list.

Delicious food, definitely recommended

Beautiful spot in Dordrecht. The terrace is lovely. We had a delicious meal there, and the service was good, prompt, and attentive.

We always loved coming here. But it's happened to us several times that when we arrive in the evening, they immediately tell us we're closing, even though the website says they're open until 10 p.m. Too bad.

Why do you announce the last round 1.5 hours in advance? We're closing so soon. While the website says 10:00 PM, and you're already saying we're closing so soon. That's a shame. You should have given a different closing time on the website. Customers would have more interest. And they won't be back so quickly. So, I'm giving you a 5.

On September 11th, we had a fantastic farewell party at Down Town Dordrecht. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff and service... perfect!

Delicious tender steak slices were eaten on a sunny terrace.

Unfriendly staff, we are not seated yet and we have to make a choice, normally you can take a look at the menu, we found this experience very unpleasant and we got up and left

Very unfriendly staff, we got up and left, the way it was done was really not nice, we will never come back here again, we come to enjoy ourselves and this is really not the way to treat customers.

Very good lunch with a nice view over the water.

Delicious coffee and a rosé before boarding the water bus. Today we had a hot trio fish sandwich. Excellent.

The staff does their utmost to please everyone.

Beautiful view, nice place to relax.

Very nice stopover on a bike ride...friendly service.

Unfortunately, 3 points...service. Long wait. The waiters just don't know what they're doing. Bitterballen, sorry, baked in an old tin.

Spacious terrace, friendly service, delicious food and a beautiful location ... what more do you need?

Nice restaurant with a beautiful terrace overlooking the Three Rivers Point at the Waterbus stop.

Beautiful place. Just go there.

We received very friendly service!!! We'll be back

Nice location, friendly staff, quick service, good food - what more can you ask for.

The food was good. Although not everything on the menu was available. Service could be neater and friendlier. Toilets did not smell fresh.

What a wonderful meal we had here! Vegan on the menu! What a relief! And incredibly tasty! Vegan satay, vegan dessert. Delicious fries (also not unimportant :)) And also a delicious cappuccino with oat milk afterwards! We almost missed the water taxi ;) They were actually full, but 'if we ordered right away, it would still work out'. Friendly staff. What a difference with a number of restaurants in the area, who have not even heard of vegetarian. Highly recommended! If we are ever in Dordrecht again, we will definitely eat here again! Warm greetings from the far North (Lauwersoog) Peter and Margreet Ps: a beautiful cherry on top of our weekend in Rotterdam/Dordrecht

Clean establishment, friendly staff. Appetizing breakfast.

Had a lovely lunch, nice place, great service.

Large terrace on the water. Waterbus stops in front of the door. Lots of hustle and bustle.

I've been here a few times, and the food is always delicious. The last weekend we were there the terrace was quite busy. Service was overall prompt and good, but some servers looked a bit lost at times. Still, it probably won't be my last visit here.

Great place to eat, was tasty. Clean up and service took a bit longer than we were used to.

Delicious food, but it's a pity that we were not allowed to choose our own seat due to a shortage of staff

Beautiful place on the water. Well worth the price.

Very friendly staff Delicious food Worth repeating

We enjoyed high tea with the family here at Easter. It was all fine and pleasant.

With a beautiful view of the water

Nice location great view but terrible music

Delicious coffee with a beautiful view of the Beneden Merwede river and floating ships Nice service

I think Downtown is very cozy, delicious food and top service!! Highly recommended...!!

Delicious food. Very friendly staff. Maybe a little too friendly. The gentleman started stroking my wife's back and calling us pet names. He had been drinking a little so we just laughed about it to keep the mood down, but oh well. Next time just sir, madam, keep your hands to yourself and maybe only start drinking after closing time. You probably didn't mean it the wrong way.

Delicious food with a beautiful view and friendly and professional service

Friendly staff Beautiful view Tasty food

Walked in for a dinner. The place was not crowded. Nice ambiance, and nice view (well, could not see much because it was dark. But would be a great place to have a drink or a meal in the summer.) Food was OK. The Avocado burger had some pieces which tasted sour (old avacado, probably going bad super soon). The staff were super courtious, The senior staff / owner even came all the way from the service counter and opened the door for us when we were leaving. (Thank you sir.) Location - 9/10 Ambiance - 9/10 Staff - 10/10 Food - 7/10 Value - 7/10 Recommend - Yes Return - Yes

Cozy location, nice view. Good opportunity for business lunch.

Nice atmosphere and beautiful view over the water.

Ate here with the family. Beautiful setting, small but atmospheric. All in all, it took quite a while for the food to arrive from the time of ordering (about an hour). Understood that this was due to the crowds. The owner offered free drinks which we did not take advantage of because it was getting very late with the kids. Food tasted fine but had cooled down. Now we are not the most difficult so we just ate it. Later we understood that we should have reported it, but anyway, the thought of waiting extra was not attractive with two kids. It should be noted that the owner responded nicely to the situation surrounding waiting for the kids. We gave it a nice twist with the dessert, which made them happy again. I thought the costs were quite high for a brasserie, so the chance that we will come back for dinner as a family is not high. However, we will definitely stop by again for a cup of coffee or a snack.

Cozy atmosphere, nice location. In my opinion, the high chairs just cannot be pushed far enough against the table. Good service, they are nice. The food was quite tasty. A few small points that were disappointing for us. The Gambas here were really delicious, highly recommended!

Baby shower high tea was taken care of down to the last detail. Even the fresh pastries were themed!! Thank you!!

Top dinner on Boxing Day With 14 people Delicious food and super friendly staff and beautiful location 🤗👍

Just enjoyed Christmas brunch. Well cared for, nice staff and a hospitable owner. Nothing to complain about the quality... lots of choice and a nice dessert of various delicacies. Recommended!

If you come for a nice bite to eat, you are not in the right place here. The food was not quite warm and the bread was tough. But even more annoying was that it was thrown on the table. Putting bottles in crates didn't exactly enhance the atmosphere either. Very unfortunate, the view is nice.

Still one of the most beautiful places in Dordrecht. Beautiful view of the Three Rivers Point and relaxed service. We ate a delicious menu with sea bass.

What a great evening Pleasant service (listens carefully to your wishes) Food was really top level. Also attention for a 6 year old child who they made very happy with frikandels (were not on the menu) and his own dessert 🍨 made in the kitchen. Highly recommended!!!! Oooooo yes and the view on the water is great!!!

Very guest friendly and good price-quality ratio and excellent staff!

Small and cozy place, the food was delicious and the service was good.

Went last weekend. Slow cooked short ribs. Should be tender meat. This was a lot of fatty and tough meat. So not nice. The staff was all very young and did not know the difference between gluten and lactose. Which makes it very difficult if there is someone with a food allergy. So not the best turn. Hope that was an incident.

Good food, nice place to sit!!!

Delicious food. Creme brullee was a bit wet and soft on one side. Very friendly help. When it is full/busy, it is very noisy.

Lots of venting. Menu is fresh and versatile. Good smooth operation

Very nice place for a restaurant

Nice location and friendly service. Had high tea here. Nice that ginger and mint were also possible! It started with a delicious fresh soup. The sandwiches were starting to deteriorate a bit. A brie sandwich was just that: bare bun and 2 slices of brie. No butter, spread, lettuce or nuts. All sweets are nice to see, but taken straight from the freezer (some are even still a bit cold inside) and artificial flavors. Fine, but wouldn't go again for high tea.

Nice location, service is very customer-oriented, we come here several times a year for, among other things, a high wine - the food is fantastic, the wine selection is very wide & tasty, we will happily come back more often and would recommend it to more people. You have a nice view of the water, there is a nice space inside and they have a nice outside area with heaters, etc. The owner is person-oriented and pleasant. Absolutely recommended!

Delicious food! Good service, you are really put in the spotlight. In a beautiful location on the water. The owner is very hospitable and very concerned about his guests. I will definitely come back here. Recommended!

Good quality. Nice view, friendly staff.

Dinner with colleagues. Delicious food. Meat was well prepared and of good quality. The vegetables served with it were also right up my alley. The portion size was also fine. Had a nice coffee afterwards.

Bad food, and bad service. We got the wrong order, and the hamburgers were bad; I can easily make a better one myself

Brasserie Down Town is a great opportunity for lunch. The host is friendly and quick to serve. There is a nice menu with a wide choice of delicious starters, hot dishes, sandwiches, burgers and much more. A great wide terrace with a view of the river and a sun-drenched day makes it complete. You will go here again for fun.

Cozy place with a beautiful view of Drievierenpunt.

The food was excellent and the service was nice and did its job with humor and a big smile

Disgusting service. Disgusting food. We waited 45 minutes for food. The waitress forgot to bring cola. The third time she managed to bring us cola. The meat was brought raw and the waitress saw it. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Now I will wait another 30 minutes for my chicken to be fried.

Excellent restaurant in Dordrecht , friendly and helpful staff and excellent food. Well done Regards Brian

Service does not pay attention to what is ordered by which person and places the drinks incorrectly.

Delicious food, (High Tea) friendly staff. And a beautiful location.
