Review


This place is wonderful and the food is great. However, I have been glutened very severely every single time (out of three visits and yes; I should have learned the first time!).

This is with mentioning gluten free/celiac when booking, asking when getting the menu, checking when ordering and checking again when the food arrives. I speak Dutch (and the staff also speak great English as well), so there’s no language barrier issue here.

The menu is marked with allergens including gluten but I’m very sure at this point that there is a very significant gluten ingredient which is not being marked properly (kecap or soya sauce being the top suspects).

If you’re not very sensitive, it may work out but I cannot safely eat here (sadly) and would advise celiacs and others who are very sensitive to avoid.
