Spijshuis de Dis

Found via Rick Steves’ book, this place was described as «Dutch with an Attitude», and it was true — but in a charming way. Proprieter was very good with advice re: gluten-​free options and preparations. Provided some GF bread for the tapenade, «why didn’t you tell me earlier!». To my partner, «no, you don’t want that beer, I have a better one for you…» (he was right…) 2pple, incl 1beer, 1 wine, water, soup: 80Euro

We were looking for a restaurant that serves traditional Dutch food, and ended up here. It’s not totally traditional, but it seems that we got more of a local flavor than we might elsewhere. The meals came beautifully garnished and everything tasted wonderful. I had the braised beef, and my husband had the leg of hare– both excellent, although I preferred mine. The menu included rabbit, deer, beef, fish, fowl, and plenty of mashed potatoes (amazing!), cheeses, and vegetables.
We came with our 9-​month-​old, and were greeted in a very welcoming manner. They were gracious and accommodating, bringing bread and a high chair for her right away, and offering a small spoon for us to give her tastes of mashed potato (not much though– they were too good!). Both our server and the maitre’D were attentive, kind, and welcoming.
Highly recommended!

ein süßes, sehr gemütliches Restaurant an einem hübschen Platz mit Landestypischen Speisen.
Das essen ist gut, nicht 0815, die Vorspeisenplatte sehr lecker und die Preise moderat, wenn auch nicht günstig.
Ein nettes Restaurant

Direkt vor meinem Hotel gelegen am Beestemarkt machte das Spiesenhaus den besten Eindruck — ich habe aber auch nicht lange gewählt. Heinneken gibt es erst einmal und unter den kühlenden Platanen der Aussengastronomie sitzt es sich blendend. Als hätten die Servicekräfte gerade an diesem Abend den Weitwurfwettbewerb des ausgeschenkten Weines ausgerufen gelingt es in unserer Anwesenheit gleich drei gefüllte Tabletts zu himmeln — der Schaden bei mir beschränkte ich auf dreckige Schuhe.
Wir nahmen nur Vorspeisen: Het Potteke zu EUR 8,95, eine Fleischpastete mit Blutorangen Gelee und geräucherten Schinken Chips war wenig, aber sehr gut. Wer Paté mag, der wird diese Speise lieben, vor allem mit dem fruchtig-​herben Orangenzubehör.
Kollegen nahm Champignon Truffelhoedjes zu EUR 7,95, das waren gefüllte Champignons, schwarze Oliven, Cherry tomaten, Käse, Butterbrösel. Er strahlte auch.
Dazu immer wieder ein kleines Heinneken und der Tag ist der Freund.

Strolling about in Delft this weekend and found this little piece of delight! It’s a quiet and absolutely cosy establishment located in a nice square in Delft. The restaurant has sort of straggly interior but they’re totally pulling it off making the atmosphere super awesome. One of the staff was not super enjoyable (the one serving us) which I always feel is a downer at a restaurant visit. But the food was great. I ordered possibly one of the best vegetarian dishes I’ve had so far and my 3 companion’s food also looked amazing. Husband and I order Low Carb with no potatoes and received freshly fried vegetables instead, big plus! The menu at all looked great and we are for sure going back to go through the whole thing. Big warning though, do not sit close to the kitchen because the chefs were cooking something (all night) that smelled horrible, guessing kale or liver.
