Wijn & Ko

Absolutely amazing in every way. From intimate and friendly service, to a outstandingly good wine list, to a 4 course meal for the ages, everything Wijn and Ko did was incomparable. Three hours and 20 minutes later we made the 11 foot hike back to our unique three story lodging (it’s the purple fronted place to the left of Wijn and Ko, next door, literally) in a food nirvana state of mind. This is a 6 star place with all the pieces in place.

Wijn and Ko — what else would you need… I have to say that I need a bit more, especially when going out to have some nice wine with nice food. Went there with a small group of fellow Unilocalers. The place was newly opened in a new location. Wijn and Ko doesn’t have an ambience of a restaurant or a wine cellar, but more like a big open bar place. I wasnt very impressed with the interior. What about the wine — they have a very big selection of different wines per glass or only per bottle. The prices are pretty steep and they start with 3.75 Euro and quickly go up. I had some wine for 3.75 or 4.75 and they were ok, however I had better and for a lower price. I tried a really nice one for 5.75. It was a good wine, but the price quality wasn’t that great.
If talking about the food. We had a big meat platter to share and vegetarian platter. They were ok, nothing too fancy and also quite pricey I must say. Later we found out that they also had a special 3 course menu offer for 25 — which sounded like a good deal. We went for dessert only option — crème brullee and cheese platter — they were pretty nice.
Service.ah.this is a part that is the cherry on the top and it either makes this a good place or not. The waiter who was taking care of our wine orders wasnt very service oriented. He would bring the wine to men first and then serve the ladies. What even shocked me a lot more. was that they should know what temperature the wine should be served at… When commenting that my red wine was way too cold — negroamaro is not served chilled… he said that it will warm up.right.maybe after 2 hours of warming it with my hands. Luckily owner of the place had a different service approach and exchanged it right away.
Did I like this place? It was ok, but because I was in a great company. Would I go back there? I am not sure.
