Our server was sweet and friendly but had a tendency to bang your stuff down on the table. My tap water came in a filthy cup with floaty bits. Dutch standards? Add to this a really shitty flat white served in a soda glass ?!?!?! + a piece of chocolate tart that was more granulated sugar than chocolate for €3,50? The only upside was the loose leaf earl grey. I don't know but I'm sorely disappointed as I loved that space. I sincerely hope it's a weekend staff thing.

Great space. Loved the light.

It is a very small restaurant, so make sure that you have a reservation. We were lucky enough to…read morefind a free table on Saturday evening when passing by Groningen. It is a very nice place that serves mostly burgers and some home made cakes. We went for burger..and it was juicy..with just right amount of bread..delicious. We went for burger, colslaw and potato wedges combination. Colslaw was dissapointing a bit.too dry and way too much cabbage. If you want a nice burger in Groningen then this is the place..! ah..and they serve Fritz Kola and other drinks.

It was empty but we decided to go in, and were pleasantly rewarded. I had the Moroccan stew, which was great, and my partner had the salmon which was fantastic. Would highly recommend as a decent place to relax and have good without expectations or hubris.

It would be 5 stars, if they had good wine. The wine they sold in glasses was of poor quality (like a 4€ bottle in a supermarket) and this is why they don't get 5 stars. You could taste the sulphites and the only wines (two kinds) sold per glass were either sweet or semi-dry. I would gladly pay more for a decent glass, because the food deserves it.

We found the staff to be extremely helpful and the dishes to be very tasty. One very cool feature is that they have access to the adjacent St Martini church. For one euro they let you in to a secret door at the back of the café and presto you are in the centuries old church. I will definitely go back upon my next visit to Groningen.
