Very nice food. It is also presented very nicely. The atmosphere is very warm and a bit of home…read morefeeling. The garden is very nice to sit for dinner. The waiters are very friendly. The restaurant is located in a shopping street. At first it looks a strange for such high level restaurant. If one would sit on the street side, you'd have a view of an DA shop, Arke and Gall & Gall. Not necessary attractive. Would definitely recommend it to anyone to go get a table inside in the restaurant or surely in the garden area (at the back)

Wow I am surprised no reviews of Abby's as it is consistently recommended by the staff at the…read moreAmrath as the best location for dining in Alkmaar. Of course this recommendation is specifically why I have avoided Abby's (yes I know makes no sense). But a work colleague loves Abby's..so that is where I ended up.. I should have listened to the staff alot sooner..great spot for a meal. Started off with a Brand UP at the bar as the table for five was cleaned. Sat down and was promptly asked if we wanted a starter (Yes please two mixed starters for the table) and another drink (not yet). The reason I wish I had tried this location earlier was the daily fish special as well as some delicious items on the standard menu card. I went with the swordfish special (Zwaardvis) with tabbouleh salad and was very pleased. Companions had the tuna special (Tonjin) and a pasta and seafood item from the menu card (large pasta shells, swordfish, tuna, mussels and shrimp. I also added a savughion blanc to my meal. Dessert cards were promptly delivered post dinner and we discussed options (well they discussed I had my eye on a Highland Park single malt). They only bump in the otherwise perfect evening was a long delay from menu card delivery and return for our order (maybe 10 minutes). But it was very busy and this delay is so minor when compared to other restaurants I have visited. So Kudos to Abby's and I will certainly return on my next trip!

My favorite spot! Try their famous Chocolade Soufflé, take a coffee or drink a wine…read more You will never be disappointed.

Great place. Not sure if they have vegetarian food always on the menu, but if you call ahead they…read moreare more than happy to provide it and boy do they! Our meal started off with a wild spinach salad with fresh figs and walnuts and a balsamic dressing. The main course was either pie with blue cheese or a type of lasagna with aubergine and coregette surrounded by pastinac, sweet potato fries and fine fried mushrooms with a great ragout. The meal finished with crème brûlée and a wonderful cappuccino. The place is run by a married couple and they are only open for dinner 5 days a week with a total of 10-12 tables. Full is full. This is a place to come and eat and relax and spend the rest of the night drinking and talking. Would highly recommend it
