"Want to do a bit of time travel? This restaurant does it. You get flung back to the early Eighties and I think that is great. Do not change it! It may look to some out of date, but hey so are all of those...Belle Époque places in Paris, which everyone thinks is great. I Like the Eighties. The restaurant is located very very beautifully next to the Rine and has an excellent view. The customers are mainly best-agers and well to do. The serving staff is classic black brigade style. The owner a real The fish is very fresh and comes in large portions. Very unusual these days. I started with a tartar of herring and salmon, the herring was prepared the Dutch way (Matjes, the fish is put into a brine solution and left there for a while, the enzymes from the Pancreas together with the salt cure the fish) and the salmon was smoked. It was served on Rye bread and with some salad. My friend had a tartar of salmon which was also very good. Main course was Monkfish, with a herb sauce, with French fries, fresh vegetables and a salad. We both had it, I like monkfish a lot and see it seldom in a restaurant. The last time was, I think, about 25 years ago in my own restaurant (I used to be a chef). Maybe one should better not eat monkfish, as it is fished by beam trawling which is terrible for the seabed, but it is for me one of the finest fish there is. The Monkfish was a large portion, fresh and well prepared. Vegetables where fine, the fries thin which was the only modern thing, I would have preferred the thick ones, let McDonalds keep the thin ones, I don’t go there. The salad also was fine, with a sweet salad dressing; If you don’t like that, tell them in advance. I think it fits with the whole ambiance of the 1980’s We had a bottle of Wine, 2 bottles of water and the bill was about 100 Euro’s. Will visit again."
