FG Food Labs*

We dined here as we have been considering this restaurant for a while already and now with the special offer of 62 Eur for a five course dinner, it seemed like a great idea for a pleasant evening with a couple of friends. All four of us are foodies who love to explore gourmet scenes worldwide. We were greeted warmly, the service was exceptionally friendly and attentive, we liked the food and the wine paired with it, but there is a minor objection to the whole experience. While ordering, we were asked if we would like to add some truffles or caviar to our meals so we decided to go for the truffles as my husband is a big fan of it and we ourselves come from a region famous with truffles. We also went for the wine pairing and the bill came to 540 eur for 4 ppl. Everything on the bill was clear and expected, apart from the price for the truffles - 27.5 eur each for literally a pinch of grated truffles sprinkled on our meat main dish. We were a bit unpleasantly surprised. Of course, we knew it wasn't going to come for free, and we all know how expensive the truffles are, but charging it almost 50% of the total menu price was, in our opinion, something we should have been informed about in advance. This left a slightly bitter taste to otherwise a very pleasant evening with good food and atmosphere. So, consider it just a friendly tip for the future - transparency will take you a long way :)

Prachtig eten, bijzonder smaakcombinaties en super mooi opgemaakt. Mag iets meer rust tussen de gangen zodat je wat langer kunt genieten van de smaken in je mond.

Ook dit keer stelde FG FoodLabs niet teleur: heerlijke kunstwerkjes zoals de oesters met een Asian twist (daar moesten we toch echt een 2de van proeven), en zelf onze verse kruidenmix maken in een vijzel met stikstof.
Iedere keer weet FG FoodLabs ons weer te verrassen, een echte aanrader!

We hebben heerlijk gegeten. Iedere gang zo'n verrassing en zo'n heerlijke smaak.
Enige minpuntje was dat het tempo echt wegzakte waardoor de eindtijd die we aangegeven hadden maar net gehaald werd. Afsluitend kopje koffie zat er niet meer in.
Maar de herinnering is absoluut goed, hoor!

The experience and food was very well! What could have been better:
- a chef that did not constantly eat something of the plates, while having an open kitchen;
- a Dutch speaking waiter for Dutch guests, that are not capable of speaking English/Spanish;
- the meals were served very rapidly .
