Restaurant Flore

A very solid middle of the pack 2 Michelin Stars restaurant. Not the best 2 star, not the worse, but for the price (also dependent on exchange rate if you're from outside EU like we are) you do get what you pay for and arguably a bit more Food: Food was generally well thought out and executed, although nothing too innovative or wows you. The bread / pastry and dessert were a bit weaker than expected. The chef's table course (where you get invited for a course at the kitchen) feels a bit forced. You simply get sat down at the kitchen, given a short explanation for a course and get led back to your table. Not very interactive or interesting Service: Service was attentive. Some dishes weren't explained clearly - as each server had a slightly different (English) accent and some spoke way too quietly. One of the waiters had a huge grin on his face and was very, very enthusiastic and animated. I think it was funny/okay but some might find that a bit uncomfortable to deal with at a dinner. Overall I was happy with the service from start to end Atmosphere/ambience: The view was amazing if you get a table by the window as you see the canals and boats passing by. Tip: Do arrive early and spend some time outside taking in the views and take a few pictures!

Staff very cordial, nice location, the main course is served in the kitchen which I believe is a brilliant idea. About the food, I feel like there is a higher focus on the process/having the most complex preparations rather than on the taste of the dish itself, which for some courses was left behind. Food pricing is adequate, wines are expensive.

You can see the upgrade from 1 michelin star and 2. The experience is 3-4 hours and they explain you in detail all the ingredients and processes, add to that a serving of wines and the sommelier will impress you with each drink. We really enjoy it, my only advice is be patient is a whole night experience. I love it! Enjoy a once in a lifetime experience.

This was one of a few times I’ve eaten at a 2 star Michelin restaurant so I expected nothing but perfection and that is exactly what we got in almost every area. The food was delish and fresh and every course was better than the last. The service was out of this world and such a well oiled machine. We loved the part where we were brought back to the chefs table area too such a nice touch. The ONLY major downside I would give this (fully well understanding the length of some of these meals) was that it just felt way too long as the entire dinner experience was over 3.5 hours in total.

Very nice location within the hotel. Good views over the water in front of the hotel. Food was very nice, using a lot of locally sourced ingredients. They do offer a full vegetarian menu as well. One of the dishes I enjoyed most was the crayfish, which is an invasive species in the Netherlands. Did not know that they actually tasted good.
