Unfortunately, a disappointing experience at De Smaaktuin. A small menu with fine sandwiches, soup, and snacks. This is perfectly fine and well-priced. A wide selection of sweet treats, coffee, and soft drinks. There is nothing to complain about here, except that the prices of the drinks are on the high side.
The service was appallingly bad. Uninterested, impolite, and rude. If an 84-year-old man makes a comment about a sandwich containing red peppers, I expect some empathy. On the other hand, the ladies in the kitchen started complaining that they were having a tough day. Very inappropriate!
Well, that was nice, I thought I recognized Ellen's mother for a moment, but it turned out to be a tissue dispenser.
Very clean place
Unforgettable night!
Pasta Genova has a simple and well-organized layout with various tables. Think of it as a large space where many people can eat.
The food was particularly delicious, prepared with great care, and had an exquisite taste. Thanks to the open kitchen, you could see how hard both chefs were working to serve everything on time and neatly.
Compliments on the combination of different flavors.
However, the temperature in the restaurant was low; I heard several people talking about this. I estimate it was around 16 degrees. Hoping that a tasty meal would provide me with some warmth, I was disappointed. Despite the fact that we had a multi-course menu, it seemed as if every course had been carefully measured out for a 12-year-old. A small piece of meat, 4 baby potatoes per person, 1 piece of fried baguette per person. We sat in the restaurant for a total of 2.5 hours, during which we were asked once if we wanted something to drink before the antipasto. And yes, I had already finished that after the antipasto. Consequently, there seemed to be a severe shortage of staff. The quality of the chefs is not in proportion to the rest of the restaurant. Unfortunately.
We had high tea for the second time today. Unfortunately, the concept had changed. There were a number of things we didn't like.
The reaction when we pointed this out was rather lukewarm, and nothing else was offered.
The tea varieties weren't particularly special either: Rooibos, Earl Grey, English Blond, and Jasim green tea.
Too bad, it was a disappointment.

I ate the beefburger last Saturday. The burger was way too raw, but I was chatting pleasantly and didn't pay attention to it. A few hours later, I felt nauseous and threw up during the night. The next morning, I did it again and had zero energy throughout the day. I tried calling them on a number listed on the Villa ArenA website, but the phone is not being answered. Very poor service, because you would actually say that the 22.50 for the beefburger should be refunded. I was sick all Sunday.
Easy to order via the website. Delivery was a bit on the late side, though. But the quality of the pizza was super tasty, although as far as I'm concerned, the crust could use a bit more garlic oil.
This is a Pipo de Clown place; you get a completely wrong order delivered super fast. When you call, you get a guy on the line who either barely speaks Dutch or actively tries not to understand you. Eventually, he says they are coming to deliver your order again, but this is just a lie because it never arrives.
I would avoid this place like the plague.
Well, we have ordered here quite often, but this was truly the height of bad service and, unfortunately, the last time. Having to wait 2 hours and 15 minutes for our order is truly ridiculous. So people... if you are hungry, don't order here!
Unfriendly staff who keep speaking Limburgs. Prices way too high (15.50 for lunch) and then they fry the egg until it's completely ruined. Never again.
