Heerlijke 5-gangen lunch gehad. Porties waren groot genoeg. Creatieve gerechten en goed op smaak. Een uitgebreide wijnkaart.

As main we had cod, paired with oyster, caramelized shallot, and a wild garlic sauce. Unfortunately, the dessert of rhubarb with strawberry sorbet was overly sweet, masking the rhubarb's flavor. Service was just okay, and while the overall experience was pleasant, we were left questioning the Michelin star rating, as we expected more in terms of both food and service. Nonetheless, we did like our visit overall.
Wonderful experience, with some very friendly staff. We enjoyed the 5 courses lunch.

A few smaller comments (eg putting cutlery with the oysters using thumb and index finger on the actual eating part is not done 😅), makes this place a 4+ just under 4.5 stars. Would recommend though and come back as well!

About Bistro de la Mer*
Cuisine: Seafood
A few doors down from the Michelin-starred restaurant De Juwelier, you'll find Richard van Oostenbrugge and Thomas Groot's newest culinary offspring: Bistro de la Mer.
After restaurant 212** and De Juwelier*, the chefs here also take you on a culinary journey. This time to the sea. Here it's all about all the good things the sea has to offer. As at 212**, the focus of the restaurant here is on the bar. Bistro de la Mer has a French 1920s style where you enjoy fish at its (very, very) best!
Because of the casual, approachable atmosphere, you would almost forget that you are in the world of a total of 3 Michelin star chefs and that is exactly what makes your culinary experience here extra special.
When will you discover the flavors of the sea (stars;)?
