We were here with family members aunt M. and Frank on the final day of the Four Days' Marches, 18 July 2008. Also present were Frank's walking mate Wil and her family. I borrowed this picture from the website of the restaurant.
Favorite Dish: Some nice cool beer - König Ludwig Weissbier, a Bavarian brand apparently - mineral water, and Schnitzel. Jennie and I paid 15 euro each. We returned on 9 May 2009, and on that occasion I had a three course menu, the main course being chicken with honey thyme sauce, salad and french fries.
We also returned to the scene in July 2009, July 2010 and again in July 2011, every single time on the occassion of the Four Day's Marches and always with the same friends (for those of you who've seen the movie, it's now turning into a sort of 'Groundhog Day'-event)

Great sphere, service and delicious food! They often serve most delicious French fries ever together with your main dish. Very very good quality food, for reasonable prices. Not only for dining, but also for lunch (they've got amazing sandwiches)
Favorite Dish: everything, nom nom..
Antwerps Stoofvlees is rather good (beer based stew), or Vlaamse Reus, or Flemish Waffles.

We had a small dinner party at Turkish restaurant De Serre on 8 April 2010. Here you can see me with my Peter, my Turkish teacher and fellow students.

This restaurant situated in front of the famous river, facing the famous bridge.
Good night view and easy to go for a round river tour.
Favorite Dish: We like the fish menu, as well the grilled mix-meat.
The fish was fresh, and the grilled mix meat was fantastic.

Well, it just has to be done, doesn't it? Having had a pleasant evening in de Nieuwe Maan, in which more than a few beers were consumed, the good old kebab shop beckoned. It was on the direct route from the pub to my hotel, it was whatever time in the early hours and whilst some temptations CAN be cast aside, I do find myself often lured by the seductiveness of a decent kebab.
This is as good as it gets. Friendly serving guy, a couple of hot chillies and though it wasn't quite as greasy as my personal preference it wasn't a bad kebab at all! You can eat in, take away or sit out on the covered little terrace all for the same price.
I can't remember what it cost but I'm sure it must have been on the inexpensive side.

The day and a half or so that I spent in Nijmegen I was in more of a grazing mood rather than sitting down to a full-works meal and the "borrolen" here were just the job to soak up the lunchtime beer. The Grand Cafe Moenen is one of the restaurants facing onto the Grote Markt in the centre of the city and whilst styled as a "Grand Cafe" is in fact pretty informal and very reasonably priced.
The menu is quite extensive covering all the usual bits and bobs with slighty more elaborate fare in the evenings.
Service was, on a quiet rainy Wednesday, perfectly efficient and friendly and I can imagine this is one of the places to be in the summer when the sun's out.
Favorite Dish: I only had one the nibbles - the "Thaise garnaaltjes" which were the bought in deep-fried variety but none the worse for that, a tasty selection of nibbly bits with a chilli dip and for less than 4 Euros perfectly up to the task.

13 January 2007 : an extraordinary place - a little more expensive than our budget would normally allow, but Jennie had received a voucher for this restaurant as a present.
Favorite Dish: A four course menu and some 'amuses' in between ; amongst other dishes we had mushroom consommé and cream soup as our entrée, delicious guinea fowl (Dutch: parelhoen) with tagliatelle and bass (Dutch: zeebaars) with risotto for our main course and mango 'sate' and lemon pie for dessert.
