Au Bien Venu

Reviewed By Tiburtina - Berlin, Germany

We had a nice dinner at the Bien Venu, on recommandation of our landlords. The food (we ate fish) was of high quality, the price-quality relation maybe a bit too high. A negative point was that the service was extremely slow, more than three hours for two plates ... and it seemed that "habitués" were given a bit more attention than sporadical visitors like us.

Beaufort

Reviewed By RichardN28 - London, United Kingdom

We've been here for the past 4 years whilst on a short break at the local Sunparks. Service is good despite the fact it is so busy (there are few reasonably priced restaurants open in De Haan in February) and the food is always served...MoreThank you and see you next year.

Bistro De Kruidenmolen

Reviewed By DirkV4 - Ostend, Belgium

Classical French oriented cuisine in a nice setting with very friendly staff. The Menu is varied and everybody will find something to their liking. If there is to be one drawback, it's that the restaurant can be quite loud when filled out (evenings and weekends).
I would definitely recommend De Kruidenmolen for a casual diner with friends.

L'Esperance

Reviewed By Sanz1820 - Inverness, United Kingdom

We ate in four different restaurants in de Haan, and this was by far the best and most memorable. As far as I could see, the whole operation was run by two incredibly hard-working men - one chef and one waiter - so be prepared to wait between courses, this is not fast food. But the food is sensational - real Michelin star quality. Not cheap - expect to spend around 120 euros for two people with drinks and gratuity.

Clean, excellent service, fine Terrace, nice salads and other snacks. This is how you should run a business at the seaside, even when there is a crowdy day. By far a exception.

Markt XI

Reviewed By Junior4mind

We already came earlier to Market XI, but this time it wasn't so cozy...
We saw on their website that there was a 3 course menu @ €45.
we found this interesting, only it was not valid on friday, saturday and holidays.
Ok, no problem, we are sunday.
We ask the 3 course menu and the lady says: This 3 course menu doesn't count today because we aren't open on Sundays during the year, this is exceptional... (6 days / year)
But you can take the 4 or 6 course or a la carte... I couldn't believe my ears. Our appetite was immediately over. There goes our romantic dinner.
We felt cheated as a parlor game, it doesn't count... I wanted her to express my displeasure, but I didn't want to engage a discussion with other clients near us.
So we need to know this as a customer and assume that this doesn't count on Sunday... I didn't saw it or read it anywhere. It is even obvious and literally on their menu card and website. Can't they not report it in their e-mail or when you do the reservation online? Or more clearly on their website? Or at least when they give you the menu card?
Until then... The lady was already quite light on the situation as if nothing happened.
Instead of at least offer an apology for the misunderstanding or offering a tea/coffee @ the end of our meal or perhaps she could make an "exception" offering the menu as we had hoped.
It gave us a misleading feeling and certainly after this reaction. If she was excused we would have taken the 4 course menu and dessert, coffee.
After this we did not really feel like it to stay still. But in order not to ruin our evening, we took a main course a la carte. She must have felt or seen we wore not happy about it due we took only a main course instead of a menu, but she didn't care. I had the feeling that it wasn't the first time this happend. There was also no little background music, so quiet we almost had to whisper. I especially hope that this is not their intention to recruit customers on a Sunday like this.
Because hey... how many people would just leave after their aperitif?
Very unfortunate this happened, we did not expect this and totally did not see this coming. They made ​​a very good impression in the past. But they have lost a lot of credits after this incident.
So be careful when you go on a Sunday, it doesn't count...

Poincare

Reviewed By CatyChe - Wenduine, Belgium

One of the best restaurants on this side of the Belgian coast. No tourist food, but real excellent cuisine! Very nice people, not too posh. Go for the Lunch menu or Menu d'amis. You can have them with our without wines. The price is a bit high wines included, but they serve a very good wine with every course. Our favorite restaurant!
