Restaurant Basaal - Takeaway

When the second lockdown was announced, the restaurants had to close. The only way to get your favourite food nowadays is via takeaway. To anticipate on this, we reached out to our audience and Restaurant Basaal contact us shortly after. We went to the Hague fully equipped and shot some beautiful pictures. During our first takeaway session, we had some unique and special food from this international orientated restaurant.

We started with tureen made of bovine tongue and duck liver together with Amsterdam onions and lentils. This was something we never tried before and we noticed quickly that it is not for everyone.
Next up was the Pulpo a la Gallega made via a Portuguese traditional recipe from the grandma of one of the employees. The Pulpo (ocotpus) is prepared with potato, paprika powder and parsley. A great dish with some good flavours!
Another dish we tried is the Bacalhau (codfish) salad with chickpeas and boiled egg. The strong flavour from the Bacalhau in combination with the chickpeas made this one of our top picks! The last dish we tried was the beetroot salad with aged farmer’s cheese, pistachio and cress. This one is another great dish we loved, mainly because it is something different from the menu that mostly contains meat. The farmer’s cheese is certainly present and this is a plus if you ask us.

The desserts were absolutely amazing. We tried the pumpkin pie with custard and the ricepudding with mango and almond crumble. Especially the pumpkin pie was fenominal. It was so soft and full of flavour that we highly recommend this one. The ricepudding is another goodlooking dish we enjoyed eating but the pie was our favourite.
Finally, if you like unique, special and tasty food, you should definitly try the takeaway dishes of Basaal in the Hague.

Bagels & Beans – Takeaway review

10/12/2020

Recently, we decided to order two bagels at Bagels & Beans since we were really graving for some lunch.
We hadn’t eaten at Bagels & Beans since last summer due to the pandemic. Therefore we were very happy that we were able to order through takeaway.

M’EAT Bar & Grill & Tappunt – Restaurant Review

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 05 Nov 2020 16:00:36 +0000

When the restaurants where still open (it already seems like such a long time since we are in a semi-lockdown again) we visited M’EAT Bar & Grill & Tappunt.
These restaurants started to work together since COVID-19 and we reserved a table at M’EAT. These restaurants are located in Den Bosch and we visited them during our citytrip last September.

We started our evening with a Valse Trippel from the extensive beermenu of Tappunt and some bread with dip. The bread was served in a cute bag and the dips tasted amazing! As a main course, we ordered the Bavette and the M’EAT Hamburger. Both were prepared on the Big Green Egg which gave the meat a beautiful smoky taste. Both of the dishes were very tasty and delicious and we were super happy and satisfied with them. Furthermore, we ordered a St. Bernardus Abt 12, Ons Blackie Imperial Stout and another Valse Trippel since we absolutely loved this beer.

The staff was very kind and funny and we certainly had an wonderful evening here. We would definitely revisit this restaurant when we are in Den Bosch again.
Therefore, we would like to recommended this restaurant to everyone who loves beer and a good piece of M’EAT.

JEF Gastrobar – Maastricht – Review

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 24 Sep 2020 16:30:05 +0000

On our last evening in Maastricht we visited JEF Gastrobar. JEF Gastrobar is a beautiful restaurant in the Rechtstraat with a modern and luxurious interior. They serve amazing food and incredible wines and the atmosphere in the restaurant is relaxed and cozy.

We started our evening with a bottle of Verdejo and some bread with olive oil to start with. The waitresses were very professional and they were very keen on empty glasses and plates. Moreover, they were happy to tell us more information about the wine and food that we received.

As a starter, we ordered the salmon tartare and the crispy deep fried goat cheese.
The crispy fried goat cheese tasted amazing together with the honey dip. It was nothing special but it was just very tasteful. Furthermore, we were at first a bit surprised by the flavour of the salmon tartare since it had a very fresh and citrusy taste. But after we got justed to it, it tasted delicious!
For the main course we ordered the risotto and cod. The amount of risotto was a little bit to much for us, but it still tasted delicious together with the truffel, spinach and the pine nuts. The cod tasted very appetizing and the noodles and veggies were excellent as well. As our final course, we ordered two JEF’s Scroppino’s (with Piña Colada) which tasted very creamy and refreshing.

We had an wonderful evening at this restaurant and the food tasted amazing. Therefore, we would absolutely like to recommend this restaurant to anyone who would like to eat a little bit more luxurious in the city center of Maastricht. You will definitely get an amazing experience and service at this restaurant.

Bagels & Beans Lunch Review

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 06 Aug 2020 16:30:00 +0000

After a day of shopping we decided to take a break at the Bagels & Beans in Leiden. This restaurant mainly focusses on bagels (of course) and coffee. It was our first time at Bagels & Beans and we both had never eaten a bagel before. Therefore we were very interested in how a bagel would actually taste.

We first ordered two Lattes which were delicious. Thereafter we ordered a sourdough bagel with wild salmon and a warm whole grain bagel with goatcheese.
The bagel with salmon was very tasty due to the combination of creamcheese with chives, capers, onion and lettuce.

The bagel with goatcheese tasted also really good but we only thought that there could be a little bit more honey on it. Nevertheless, the whole grain bagel tasted amazing and the walnuts and thyme on the goatcheese gave it an unique flavour.

We had a great experience at this restaurant and we were happily surprised by the taste of the bagels. Therefore we would definitely visit Bagels & Beans again to grab some lunch.

– What is your favourite kind of bagel at Bagels & Beans?

Karalis Leiden – Restaurant review

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 16 Jul 2020 16:30:00 +0000

Restaurant Karalis is a local family restaurant in the city centre of Leiden. This restaurants serves authentic Italian dishes with a strong accent to the island of Sardenia. The restaurants only uses products imported from Italy and they try to make everything theirselves as much as possible.

The diner

We started our evening in this restaurant with homemade baguette and herb butter and a good glass of wine. As our first course we ordered the ‘Funghetti misti trifolati’ and the ‘Calamari fritti’. These were mixed mushrooms in a creamy garlic sauce and fried squid served with garlic mayonnaise. The mushrooms tasted amazing and the fried squid was really crispy and tasteful as well.

Thereafter we ordered the pizza ‘Quattro formaggi’ (four cheeses) and the ‘Ravioli al pomodoro’. The pizza was absolutely the best four cheeses pizza that we ever tasted before! The dough was crispy, but soft and the cheeses on the pizza were amazingly creamy. The ravioli also had a good taste but it could not compete with the pizza. The taste of the tomato sauce was in our opinion a bit overwhelming but the ravioli itself tasted very good!
Finally, we chose to go for the ‘Dama bianca’ and the ”Panna cotta alla fragola’. These were vanilla ice cream with hot chocolate sauce and whipped cream and homemade pannacotta with strawberries. Both of the dishes tasted superb and sweet.

We thought it was very special that most of the Karalis staff is Italian. This gives the restaurant a really different vibe and it feels like you’re in Italy the moment you enter this restaurant. We had a very pleasant evening in this restaurant and we absolutely loved the food as well! If you go to this restaurant, you should definitely try their pizzas. They are, in our opinion, the best!

Roem’s streetfood culinair

Nick Riethoven — Sat, 18 Jan 2020 19:00:00 +0000

A long time ago, we reached out to Roem’s streetfood culinair for a sponsered review. Last week the time had finally come, we visited Roem’s! The restaurant is located in the Teleport hotel in The Hague and it has free parking behind the hotel. We entered the restaurant and we were directly greeted by a very kind and professional waiter. We sat down, ordered a beer and a white wine and waited till the waiter came with the menu. Little did we know that they use a chalkboard with a daily selection of dishes depending on the season and markt offers. This means that the menu is never the same which makes it a true surprise what you are going to eat!
The dishes are designed to share and all the dishes have the size between a starter and a main course. You can choose as many dishes as you want for just €8,50 per dish! The waiter told us that most of the people order 2 dishes per person, so that’s what we did.

The 4 dishes we choose were smoked salmon on brown bread and sticky gamba followed by loaded fries (fries with cheese, ground beef with some sauses on top) and truffle rissoto.
The dishes were incredibly good especially the salmon, gambas and risotto. The loaded fries were nice, but couldn’t compete with the other ones. As a dessert, we ordered a cheese platter and pancakes with a tasty sweet maple syrup. These were both very delicious!

We had a wonderful evening here and we enjoyed the amazing hospitality! This restaurant is definitely recommended to everyone who loves to enjoy streetfood and the tapas kind of eating style! You will definitely get a amazing experience and service here!
