Voor â¬25 (in het weekend) onbeperkt tapas eten. De kaart is erg uitgebreid en er is dus veel keus qua vlees, vis, of vegetarische tapas. We hebben vrij veel verschillende gerechtjes geprobeerd en de meeste waren heel lekker. Een paar waren iets minder, maar er zat niks tussen wat echt niet lekker was. Wij waren dus aangenaam verrast. Personeel is vriendelijk en de bediening gaat vrij vlot. Je vult zelf een kaartje in met welke tapas je per ronde wilt hebben en je beslist zelf wanneer je dit kaartje afgeeft, dus je kunt zelf bepalen of je langzaam of âsnelâ wilt eten. Wij komen zeker nog eens terug!

South Limburg ("Zuid Limburg" in Dutch) is that low-hanging southern panhandle, nearly disconnected from the rest of the Netherlands by borders all around. Yes, proximity of borders explains one of the differences of "Zuid Limburg" to the rest of the Netherlands.One of the oldest and most typical towns of South Limburg is Sittard, a town at the northern limit of South Limburg, and at the most narrow neck of "Zuid Limburg" and Dutch territory. Sittard is book-ended within 5 miles, to the west by Belgium, to the east (even a shorter distance) by Germany. Many in South Limburg are proud to speak their own language, dialect or patois and, again, this is certainly true when dealing with folks in Sittard. In turn, this âLimburgishâ language is a direct sponge reflection of the border reality of the region, next-door to three different cultures: German, Flemish and French. Yes, French has long been present in this border town as well. Legend has it that one of the early visitors from France to the region, at one point, looked at the time, and said: "Si tard?", meaning "this late?". Anyhow, we're talking conjecture here... On the other hand, in contrast, it is never too late, when in Sittard, to enjoy an unusually old market square certainly worth exploring. Flanked by ancient churches, the place is also lined with little eateries and cozy Dutch cafés, which is the Dutch take on drinking holes or pubs... There are so many around this Sittard market place that it takes some willful and intelligent effort to get to know them all. Don't forget your wallet either! Doing the tour, always a bit at your own risk (how much beer can you handle), one of the "must" places to hit is "Schtad Zitterd" (meaning "Town Sittard" in the local patois) and, allegedly, the dean, one of the most senior pubs or cafés in town and in South Limburg altogether. Like many of the other eateries and drinking holes around the square, on a sunny day, or even on a chilly day, "Schtad Zitterd" provides comfortable side-walk seating and a great vantage point from where to take in the local people traffic, incidentally, strictly pedestrian or on bikes... While doing so, this is also the place to enjoy a wide selection of beers, wines, and inexpensive hearty local dishes... If just wanting a quick bite, be sure to try their "bitter ballen" (small hot little meat-balls, brittle on the outside, soft on the inside), and perfect companions to a good glass of chilled local beer. If real hunger needs are to be sated, try their steak and fries... Great on the taste buds, great on price. For more choices, check with one of the pretty (and pleasant) young waitresses. Service is excellent at the place, and sometimes even includes the pleasure of little food tidbits on-the-house.

We got there to eat something simple and fast for lunch and didn't really expect much of it (mostly by the place's looks and the public which comes for the slot machine they have inside). The menu has quite a lot of options, but being on a place called Tapas itself, what better than trying tapas? So we ordered a tapas mix. I was expecting some small simple bites, but we were presented a wide Woden plank with several cooked traditional Spanish bites, which were all very tasteful. We will definitely repeat this experience! But sitting outside, perhaps
