Fabels Eten & Drinken

I was up in this neck of the woods installing some art in a remote field surrounded by cows. We stopped here for dinner on the way back to Amsterdam. It was Sunday at 6pm and the place was packed, lively, and gezelling. Be careful when you go, or make a reservation to make sure you can get a table. We had to sit outside in the cold because it was the only way we could eat at a reasonable time. Our toddler ran around in the closed street in front of the restaurant and played with other kids, so it worked out ok.
As for the food, overall it was expensive and mediocre. It was pretty disappointing. The fondue appetizer was made from bleu cheese, yuck! and this was not warned about on the menu at all. The french onion soup was mostly salty fatty water, and not much cheese. My husband had the fish and it was ok. We got fries for our little one and she seemed to like them. She later danced to the bells playing in the former church across the way, so that was entertaining. The service was slow and nobody came to check on the food once it was delivered, so that was annoying, especially since we were sitting in the cold and would have liked to have eaten quickly. The fancy mint chocolate coffee drink I had was nice though. The whipped cream stayed on the top of it for a long time instead of dissolving into the coffee right away.
Maybe if you’re local this is a great hangout since it’s full of so many people. But if you’re looking for good food and service I’d recommend trying somewhere else.

Looking for a great dinner or just hanging out with friends at Bergen. Go to this place, there are a lot of locals and they serve amazing wines. They don’t take reservations below 6 persons, so you have to wait (most of the time) 15−20minutes at the bar.
Try their famous Dinee Variee with your friends or partner. You will get a selection of their best entrees. They will also serve seasonal specials, which are publicized inside or ask for it. Try also one of their dessert with a dessert wine (especially their ‘Franse Kaasjes’ an amazing cheese platter)!

Waren am Abend hier, konnten gerade noch einen der letzten freien Tische ergattern. Dieser war direkt an der geöffneten «Terassentür», da ein stärkerer und kühler Wind herrschte, wurde uns sofort angeboten diese zu schließen.
Das Personal war auch sonst ausgesprochen freundlich.
Wir waren zu viert und hatten einen bunten Mix aus Vor– und Hauptspeisen, welche durchgängig ausgezeichnet waren.
Preis-​/​Leistung war ortsüblich angemessen und geht vollkommen in Ordnung.
Das Ambiente und die Sauberkeit gibt keinen Anlass zur Kritik.
Das Lokal ist absolut empfehlenswert.

Beautiful restaurant and good food. Had sashimi (very good) and tapas funny mix, but delicious.
The service team was very nice and funny. :)
