Oh my. We went here for our anniversary. Somehow we thought, oh well, let's drive to Nijmegen…read more Because at sushitest.nl we read it to be considered one of the best places in The Netherlands to eat sushi. We came in to a reasonable sized restaurant. Not to big, which I liked: more intimate and definitely not the same vibe as an all-you-can-eat place. Which it isn't. The menu is a la carte and consists of both sushi and sashimi but also of different courses which can be ordered single or as a menu. The restaurant is decorated in a brocante/dark/purplish style which I do not really associate with Japanese food, but it has a chique and hip feel to it, so that's alright. As it is a fusion restaurant, that's probably the reason for the interor. We snuggled on a couch somewhere in the middle, which I really loved. We, sushi addicts, just glanced at the full courses and went for the sushi plate. They offer a big one and a smaller one. We ordered a small one (20 pieces) with no meat, just fish. (there's also a larger one of 32 pieces) Alongside, we ordered the hotategai roll and a spicy tuna roll. All was served on a big platter decorated with roses. A nice touch! My love asked if the roses were edible. They weren't, but the rettich they were put in was. Good to know ;) Save to say: all the sushi was delicious. A big surprise was the creamcheese roll. Normally, we'd skip those kind of fancy sushi's, but this one was briefly fried in tempura batter and still warm. It was so good! We ordered some "normal" nigiri (sake and maguro) and hoped to be just as impressed. Sorry to say that these were a little average. Not as tasty as we hoped. But all the "special" sushi was delicious. The only downside? All those sauces, mayonaise and tempura batter made me feel I should live on water and bread for the rest of the week. It must be heavy in calories. On the other hand, if we enjoy a plate like this once in a while, it'll be a nice break from the otherwise "simple" sushi we love so much. Definitely loved the experience. We ordered a little bit more out of curiosity, but the first round (the sushi plate of 22 + two extra rolls) was actually enough for both of us! The price is a little higher then at a regular all-you-can-eat restaurant (ironically, there is one on the other side of the street, facing IZZI!) but its way better for a good assault on the taste-buds.. Want to spoil yourself on some delicious fancy sushi? This is the place!

I highly recommend De Zwann for a meal, or just to take a break for a drink and relax. It is located in the middle of many important WW2 landmarks. My father was in the 506th 101st Airborne in 1944, and he stopped at De Zwann every time he took a trip back to Son.
