The food at Brasserie 21 was well prepared and tasty, both the burgers and the other dishes. The terrace is well positioned in the setting sun. Service was friendly but needs improvement ... 1) too slow even though it was far from full, 2) mistakes made in the dishes ordered and 3) drinks forgotten.

Really good atmosphere in the boat. The staff is nice and the choice is great. I took a banana pancake with cinnamon and sugar. Its a really thick pancake and worth the money. Enjoyable for lunch or dinner.

A group of us called in late on Saturday evening, we were warmly welcomed and shown to our table. We ordered 2 starters of mixed cheese and meat with fresh warm bread and 2 large spicy pizza topped with cheese salami and chillies. They were delicious fresh and piping hot, all washed down with cold lager. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

The restaurant is based on a square with many different restaurants and bars. Entrance is large and spacious. However for a cold night the door just opens into the food area. So if sitting close you might feel a draft.The restaurant serves several menus, of which the 'Bib Gourmand'is excellent value. Strangely enough though if you do not eat the whole menu, you pay more (so two courses are 40 euro and three courses in the menu is 37 euro... strange). Starters were thinly cut beef (very nicely done) or fish. Main again meat (duck this time) or fish (cod). Both also prepared nicely. Dessert (for the ones taking it) was prepared really nicely. A panorama of mushrooms on a bed of earth and grass... (see photo)Bedankt voor u mooie reactie. Wij vonden het fijn dat u een mooie avond heeft ervaren. Graag tot een volgende bezoek.Om nog even uitleg te geven over een 2 gangen menu. Wij serveren alle gerechten los met de daarbij horende prijs (op de kaart en de website vermeld) En om een voordeel te hebben is het voor de gast aantrekkelijk om 3 gangen te kiezen, waarbij we de prijs die de Michelin aangeeft hanteren.

It was sunny lunchtime so the terrace was very busy. But the service was still efficient and friendly. The menu was slightly more extensive than the usual lunchtime menu in the Netherlands. I had a "warm" salad with fillet steak pieces, which was perfectly cooked.

The main restaurant inside the Van der Valk Motel Assen is called 28 Dining, named after the highway A28 on which the motel is located. It is a very spacious and recently redecorated restaurant in faux seventies style. The food was pretty decent and did not take too long to come. Be careful to sit a bit out of airconditionings way.

We had a celebratory lunch at Touche which could very well be the best restaurant in Assen. The menu is simple but refined. The food is outstandingly good. Service was very friendly, perhaps slightly insecure now and then due to inexperience but very customer oriented and also quick despite a full house on a Saturday. There is not something available as a set three course lunch menu, but one can choose a main course and dessert easily from the regular menu. Red house wine (a Carmenere) tasty and generous.
