De Vlindertuin

Reviewed By traintraveller07 - Rome, Italy

In a very attractive space in an old building in Zuidlaren (between Assen and Groningen) this was an excellent meal. We did the menu, 6 courses. The fish courses were exceptional, and the one veal course we had was also perfect, with superb preparation, combinations of flavors, presentation and freshness. Service was friendly and informal. The relationship of price to quality is excellent. A very few constructive comments for improvement: We had an aperitivo and were offered various interesting amuses-bouche but it took an hour for the service of the menu courses to begin to appear, and it appeared to us rightly or wrongly that our table was placed into a cycle with another table, of 8 covers, next to us, which arrived a bit later. The offered wine pairings which 2 of our party of 5 ordered were a weak point: 3 whites and a red (I did half glasses) were disappointing, three of them undistinguished Spanish and South African selections. One Alsatian Reisling was interesting as was a Portuguese Duoro dessert wine which tasted like an aged Marsala. I would advise diners who love good wine to just work with the wine list. A Dutch-only menu will be unhelpful as this restaurant justly attracts more non-local diners. Good luck to them--well done.

Went out for dinner whilst visiting family in Drenthe. One of our party was vegetarian.
My wife and I had one of the set menus, the others chose fom the al a carte menu.
The waitress was very helpful, and arranged a vegetarian version of the tomato soup.
Surprisingly, there was nobody else in the restaurant - maybe because it was Good Friday.
They also do a buffet style - but only on busier days - so check before you go if that is what you want.
Food was freshly prepared and good. i especially liked the soup and spicy beef dishes

Had s great meal with friends here recently and would highly recommend. I had the mustard soup which was delicious followed by the mixed grill which was plentiful and cooked exactly to my liking. Really enjoyed the food and the service and was reasonably priced.

Fabuleus

Reviewed By SannedeJonge1 - Groningen

We went here expecting a luxurious 5-course dinner. We had 5 courses, but it was not worth the 5 stars the restaurant seems to get a lot. The only exceptional course was the cold starter. The rest of the courses were alright, but the portions were so small most of the people in our group were still hungry after dinner. Not to mention we were the only company there that night and it took very long to serve our food. Too bad, we expected a lot more!

Reviewed By worldtravellerTom - Paterswolde, The Netherlands

One of those typical all you can eat restaurant, serving sushi and warm dishes. It is located in the middle of the town, and has a small playground for kids. Overall service was friendly.
Food served was good, altough not exceptional. Sushi made was fresh. Hot dishes were ok, well sized and not too large. Bami was mediocre.
Prices are a bit higher than usual, as for 4 (incl 2 small children) we paid 90 euro

In a warm ambiance, enjoying great food and a prompt service. I can recommend this restaurant, if you like Italian food mixed with "haute cuisine" and a Dutch flavour ;-))
