We visited the restaurant on a Wednesday evening. There seem to be two sections of the restaurant - the Chef's Table and "the rest". We chose to eat from the menu and where seated upstairs. The waitstaff is attentive and knowledgeable and were able to make wine suggestions without running to the kitchen for advice.As a starter, the Pulvo salad was fresh and delicious. For mains we ordered the Cataplana - a dish we are familiar with from trips to Portugal. The restaurant had run out of rice so we happily ordered the potato version. The shrimp/gambas in the dish were very overcooked. The waitstaff returned from the kitchen with the explanation that this was due to the traditional cooking method. Hmm.Desserts were good - the Portuguese Cheese platter with 3 small glasses of port was beautiful as were the Rice Cakes. Dear DvTh,Thank you for your review. We are sorry to read that your expereince was average. At Boca we stand for a good service and good food. The gambas in a cataplana shouldn't be overcooked. We will discussed your review in our team and we will make sure this doesn't happen again.Beste regards,Team Boca

Went here for a second time as we had such a great meal last time! What really stands out in this place (besides the food!) is the great and genuine service from the waitresses. They could not have been more friendly!As a starter we shared a plate with Italian cold meats which was delicious and plenty for 2 persons to share. Followed by Veal rolls filled with parmesan cheese. As a dessert I had the scroppino which was delicious, however the Panna cotta was not so good as it contained way to much gelatine! All in all, very nice visit again to Lanterna and can definitely recommend it!PS they have a great wine menu as well!

Visited the brasserie with a colleague. Both took the 3 course menu. The appetizers- a burrata salad- was more like a salty mozzarella with cream and came literally drown into a pesto sauce that was tasting very chemical and artificial. The lettuce that was completing the dish was very dry and roughly cut ( as if somebody would open an old supermarket salad bag and throw it into the bowl). After this very bad start, the veal with mushroom did not make it any better. A few very thin mechanically sliced and overcooked slices covered with mixed mushroom that once again seemed to come straight from a package of the biggest Dutch supermarket chain. The mushroom and the meat were swimming in so much watery looking and watery tasting cooking juice to make the dish look like a mushroom soup. The potato pure with truffle was probably the best dish in the evening but had two deep fried potato croquettes sticked into it. Cheese tasty consistence but total clash with the rest.The dessert did not cheer me up: dry castelet pudding, waterish raspberry sorbet and a very thick and sweet tea jelly (like a very sweet jam) not blending at all with the rest of the dish. My colleague took a fig dessert - the only difference in what we ate - and claimed it was ok ( to cheer me up?!)To be noted that we had booked a table but needed to sit 20 min before it was ready for us.Never again.

My Father, I and several colleagues have been working in Venlo for a month now, de Brasserie was one of the first restaurants we came across and since we haven't found anything comparable. The food is delicious and having ordered majority of the menu always exceeds my expectations. I would highly recommend the Borsch and the Mussels as they are my personal favourites however as stated previously, you cannot go wrong with anything on their menu. On our first visit we were greeted with smiles, kindness decorum and full knowledge of the menu, that has all continued for every visit. All the staff are truly beautiful and so friendly, a true asset to de Brasserie. Working away from home is hard but this restaurant and crew truly has made us feel like we have a home away from home!! Thank you guys we love you all and will most certainly be back :) xoxo

Had some awesome meals, and some average. My starter was absolutely divine, the Brunnenkresse suppe, but the main was not quite to my liking. It was the Heilbutt fish. Can only have myself to blame I guess. Coffee complete desert was out of this world again. Service was great and the wines good too. Can not fault them. All in all a great place to meet and eat.Hello Martin,Tank you for your review. Awesome to read that you marked our starter and dessert as out of this world, we are sorry that the main course wasn't to your likings perhaps. We would love to welcome you again if you are on a visit in Venlo.Kind regards,Dominique

We visited this restaurant on a short weekend stay in Arcen and surrounding areas. This was the culinary highlight of our weekend.The restaurant has a young new enthusiastic owner who composed a great menu with well-balanced flavors. We had the Lobster menu and the day menu with wine pairing menu. We were very pleasantly surprised and would recommend this to anyone. Staff is also very friendly. Just a great place.

This pub has a quite religious feel...decorated with religious statues and paintings. It's quite cozy though. There are quite a few beers on the menu and special ones on the tap. I had a beef stew for lunch, which was delicious (served with bread).Thank you for your respond. You say quite a few beers? We have 20 taps and over 100 bottled. With puts us in the top-3 bars in our town Venlo according to number of beers. But size doen't matter. Quality does. We are happy you liked our beer-stew.Louis KlaassensOwner

Venlo has definetely more to give than just fries and shopping. This nice spot remains on my top list of visited restaurants ever. Service was extraordinary and the quality and taste of the foods served were outstanding. We had the surprising 4 courses, once vegetarian. All courses were top notch, well composed and introduced at the table. Reasonable prices made our visit perfect. Thank you, we will come again.
