As you're walking in.. you wonder if you've stumbled into a completely different realm. It was small, big enough only for around 25 seats but it feels warm and welcoming, with great mood lighting. The staff were attentive and nothing was too much to ask. We ended choosing 3 courses with extra oysters to start and matching wines. Starting with bubbly to match the oysters, white wine to match the entree of mackerel, then red to match the main meat dish, and to finish- a sweet dessert wine with some sweet dessert. All of the sweetness was topped with grated chestnut, that had every person licking their plates clean. Even though we were a rather large and boisterous group, everyone was attended to and looked after. I was also watching the staff interact with the other tables (big and small) and they too looked as at ease as we did. All in all, it was the perfect Friday night find. I just hope I can remember to stumble into this little hot spot again with a bit more purpose (read: less drunk)!

On a quiet Monday night, we made our way to Juuls. I had requested a private table in my online…read morereservation and they sat us in a little corner by ourselves. The servers were very friendly and attentive. They don't have a menu, so it's always a surprise menu and you can choose between 3, 4, or 5 courses. We went with 3 courses and had the extra request that we don't get the same dishes so we can try 6 different things. Every meal, including the amose bouche, was creative, visually beautiful, and super tasty!!! Our main courses were a truffle stuffed guinea fowl with lentils and a white fish in beurre blanc with a potato cake and both had very interesting and flavorful sauces and tiny veggies. Hmmmmmm, I wish I had more tiny veggies to eat right now...

The owners are very friendly and give personal attention to each guest. There were only 3 people running the show, one of them being the chef. She came to our table, explained the menu to us and took our order. They have a limited menu for the day, 2-3 choices for each course, one of which is a vegetarian dish. The plates are beautiful and the food is excellent. They pour decent wine and although we didn't order any cocktails, I have to say that they looked very nice!! The restaurant has limited seating so do take advantage of their online reservation portal. Very reasonably priced for the quality of the food. One drawback: they only take cash. No credit cards.

There's plenty of tables, with seats for 40+ people. I like the small, cozy café. It's light and they have a good coffee choice. I love the nice, modern restaurant. The daily pasta specials are so lekker, they must be cooked by an Italian chef with a lot of amore. Last but not least there's the cool bar with the living room in the back and the amazing mural illustrated by Rafaella Wang. This piece of art is a visual delight. The bar is always packed and I know why. Pure gezelligheid.

Nice table for the menu of the day, disappointed with their more creative dishes a la carte…read more + : A restaurant that offers 3-5 course menu between 33-43€ with fresh ingredients. Some of the dishes a la carte are of great quality. My friends enjoyed a nice tuna carpacio as starter and seabass perfectly cooked with veggies. I managed to have few nice bites from their plates :)I have to say I was also impressed by their gratin dauphinois. Though a classic, this is really not such an easy French dish to prepare. Potatoes were thinly sliced, perfectly cooked with light and soft cream. - : Unfortunately for me I was in a foody mood and decided to try their "more elaborated dishes" a la carte. "Soupe de poisson a la Marseillaise" is a French cuisine classic. In their version of this dish, the fish and the shrimp did bring a nice note, but the quality was average. Way too liquid, no fine texture, the rouille sauce was like a basic mayonnaise... I am always a bit disappointed when those classics are not well executed :( Then I tried the "stuffed" coeur d'artichaud (artichoke). The artichoke was way too big and it felt like they tried to put as many things as possible in the filling (big pieces of mushrooms, other vegetables, cheese....). I was really expecting something lighter, fine and subtle. It's a great creative idea... too bad it did not deliver on my expectations. Luckily the sweet notes at the end were very nice. Try the meringue or the delicat au chocolate (cake). Though a bit filling the flavors are intense and I have had my great dose of chocolate for the week. In few words, a friendly table with a nice menu du jour. I would have given another star, if the service was a bit faster. We had to wait a lot to get the menus (and ended up looking at their website with our iphones) as well as inbetween dishes.
