Restaurant 't Havenmantsje

My partner and I landed here via socialdeal for a five course menu. We were greated by a relatively small yet cozy restaurant with a modern interior and a great view on the harbour. After being seated, we had received some small and tasty starters, followed by a bread basket with delicious butter and olive oil, and the asparagus cappuchino with an merengue on top. After that we received a variety of dishes (see photo's), where the star of the night was the ceviche with bass and apple, followed by the plate with the beef cut and potatoes. Overall it was a very tasty 5 course meal with mosty dutch dishes and ingredients. The drink selection was also fine, with some nice local options( especially for the beer enjoyers). The staff was very friendly and explained all the dishes well, especially to my english-speaking partner. At the end we were unfortunately greeted with a "weekendtoeslag" which was an additional 15€ for coming in during the weekend. I have never experienced that before and it was a bit of a sour aftertaste on an otherwise great evening. If there was no weekendtoeslag, I would have rated this restaurant 5 stars

A table for 5 at an open door … which one of the staff was friendly enough to allow to close. While still choosing from the menu, another staff-member said the door should remain open (with a nice cold draft) for her colleague to serve outside (while there was another door - also to access the patio (4 more metres to walk, true) - that had no tables around … and open already. When I mentioned that her colleague had allowed us to have the door closed, she insisted that she had other colleague who also had to work. Upon leaving (not having stayed to eat), I ‘congratulated’ the lady for having lost customers: “oh, I have more customers”, was the reply. Hmm, not really what I would have expected, having built up a better expectation from other reviews …

Just Amazing! Loved the food, loved the style, loved the people and I thought the price was right for ehat we got. The service was great. The lady was really thoughtfull for my friend who was pregnant and my mother who's diabetes. But I changed my starts.. Cause the second time we arrived it was so good. It was very simple. The waiter was new and didn't remember all the ingredients, all the wall paintings werent hanging straight and it was either way to salt or too sweet. Apperently there was a different cook that evening. Probably won't visit again any time soon.
