"Verrassende ontmoeting tussen Oost en West"
10.0 Cuisine 10 | Service 10 | Atmosphere 10

Het concept; de fusie van smaken uit de keuken van het Oosten (Turkije, Libanon) en de keuken uit het Westen (Frankrijk).

Wat een verrassingen, mooie smaak combinaties die echt goed werken, van heel subtiel tot uitermate uitgesproken. Dit alles in combinatie met heel goed gekozen wijnen. De wijn-spijs combinatie ...

Het concept; de fusie van smaken uit de keuken van het Oosten (Turkije, Libanon) en de keuken uit het Westen (Frankrijk).

Wat een verrassingen, mooie smaak combinaties die echt goed werken, van heel subtiel tot uitermate uitgesproken. Dit alles in combinatie met heel goed gekozen wijnen. De wijn-spijs combinatie varieerde van ondersteunend tot daadwerkelijk verrijkend, heel goede samenwerking tussen sommelier en chef.

Beautiful concept of east meets west.
The service can be improved by shortening the waiting time in between the courses. We were waiting some more than 45min to the next dish.

The chef came himself to ask for our experience and apologies for the unusual delays and offerd us a complimentary drink. This has directly corrected the small irritation of the evening and left a very good taste. We have enjoyed very much and definitely will come again!!

The restaurant pretends to be "top level" however, though the food was nice, none of us were really impressed. Food was all well taken care of by the chefs, all properly cooked. Ambiance is also decent, though door of the womans toilet apparently did not close properly. The service was embarassing for this type of restaurants. I have never been treated this rude while paying top-price and this is something that will have to change. I have seen quite a lot of top-level restaurants around the world, and it is safe to say that the service here is not in my top 1000. I hope the service level will improve because otherwise it is not worth your time nor your money. The time spent on the story behind the food should also be spent on educating staff on how to deal with clients in a respectful manner.

Dear guest,

we thank you for your visit and review. It's good to know that you've enjoyed the food during your stay. We are sorry to hear that we were unable to match your expectations regarding staff service. We'd like to mention here that we also discussed this matter at the end of your evening and we sincerely apologized for our tone of voice. Nontheless, we believe in a concept that is most certainly nót comparable to any restaurant in the world; and we will not change the policy of presenting the food we serve, the way we want to. Gastronomy is a type of art; but it takes two to tango. If you are in for this, we'd really like to welcome you again in the future ofcourse.
We will fix the Ladies restroom before tonight's service starts.

Kind regards, team El Qatarijne
