Such a warm welcome, an excellent surprise three course meal (for a very decent price) and very friendly hosts. ????????????

Friendly and busy restaurant. Chef serves surprise menu which is always great. Best for groups at weekend as busy. As a couple we were treated great and moved to a quieter spot.

Martijn cooks beautiful food. Perfectly cooked fish, precisely timed steak, amazingly successful Beef Wellingtons, and not just. His vegetables are always prepared to a high standard - not overcooked, not too al dente, just right. And plentiful too. We have eaten quite a few delicious dinners from Martijn during lockdown, but today we ate at the Raecks, to celebrate - well, to celebrate being able to GO to a restaurant. And it was wonderful. My husband had entrecote, I had dorade. With carpaccio to start (him) and an absolutely delicious tomato and lobster soup (me). Paired with a nice glass of godello for me and Richard just went for beer. Yum and bravo Team! We will be back soon!

Personal attention from Martijn, the chef and his lovely team. He promised top quality and delivered.  Faultless.

What a wonderful evening with great food and wine and excellent service.

You must order drinks when you have dinner at Bistrobar, after all, it is half a bar. Betty ordered a cocktail and I ordered a glass of red wine. We drank until eight o&#39;clock before leaving.
Berry-based cocktails are of course very easy to drink and make you feel drunk. The feeling comes and goes quickly; and my red wine is even harder to make you feel drunk, but it goes slowly after it comes... The main course ordered with the red wine is beef, so it is quite a good match.
I ordered Indonesian satay-style meat skewers that can be eaten in three flavors at once. I like the chicken with satay sauce the most, which is not too greasy. Due to historical reasons, Indonesia has a large population, so there are many Indonesian restaurants and the taste is relatively better. Compared with Chinese food, the overall feeling of Indonesian restaurants and flavors is better than other foreign restaurants. But I personally feel that Indonesian flavors are average. I don&rsquo;t particularly like sour and sweet tastes. Among the flavors of several Southeast Asian countries, I still like Thai flavors the most!
An Indonesian street snack, a thin layer of flour is coated with a dense filling, then fried, cut into thin pieces and eaten with a matching sauce. The first piece is amazing, but it is still a bit greasy for me if I eat too much.

If you are hungry and happen to be in the centre of Haarlem, this is the right place. It is famous for its All you can eat Spare Ribs. Ribs are always delicious and melt in your mouth. You can choose between BBQ, Sweet or Spicy. Also the burger and schnitzel are great. Great value for money. Wide selection of beers. Lot of space inside or on a terrace. Friendly waiters. The place is busy in the evenings, I recommend to always book in advance.

All was good, the food the service. The decorations and location is good. The sandwich of tuna was delicious and the wings. I will recommend it to all

I went to celebrate my anniversary with my husband! Great experience, the food was delicious and the service amazing! The only negative point is that the restaurant is small and the table and seats are very close together, but nothing that really take away from the experience.

A small intimate restaurant with very nice menus, no a la carte, but beautiful refined courses, a feast for the eyes, a delight for all taste buds! And a pleasure to see and taste the concentration, precision and passion of the chef! We will come back!
