The perfect neighbourhood wine bar - I only wish I lived closer! Such a warm, welcoming atmosphere, with vinyl records being played, friendly servers and seating spilling out onto the street. Wonderful selection of natural wines and delicious small plates. A hard recommend!

Grappig nieuw restaurantje in de spijkerbuurt. Al is het groter dan het van buiten lijkt. We wisten niet zeker wat het precies was dus zijn er alleen heen gegaan voor een koffie, thee en wijn. Diegene die ons bediende was super aardig en spontaan. Hij probeerde zelfs een latte macchiato voor ons te maken terwijl dit niet op de kaart stond en ook niet zijn specialeit is (dat is wijn). Er is wel iemand gespecialiseerd in koffie maar die was er niet vandaag. Ik wil zeker nog een keer terug komen om er wat te eten. egenda 1) Vreselijk! Raad ik af, ik kom nooit meer terug! 2) Jammer, onder mijn verwachtingen, ik kom niet nog een keer. 3) Ok, niks mis mee, maar niet bijzonder, leuk voor 1 keer. 4) Prima, de moeite waard om terug te komen. 5) Uitstekend! Raad ik aan, ik kom zeker terug!

Super lekker gegeten in een gezellige tent met goede muziek. Vivian draait haar eigen plaatjes op de platenspeler maar je mag er zelf ook eentje uitzoeken. Ze houd haar keuken goed in de gaten en heeft oog voor kwaliteit. Verrassend frisse en lekkere gerechtjes. Wij zijn niet wild van natuurwijn maar ook de wijntjes waren verrassend lekker!

Verassend originele kaart, allemaal net even wat anders en erg lekker. Ook heerlijke bubbels. Kreeg wel last van de harde stoelen en bank.
