De Gouden Bock - Middelburg

What a fantastic meal we had. We went for the selection of the cook, delicious well cured selection of dishes at a great price. A good wine list at all prices. What was so amazing was how to improve the most interesting flavors from all over the world, but never overwhelm the boat with fresh seafood. Korean Chili spiced cocks inspired. The service really did it. They were informative, friendly and generous. An inexplicable valentine discount made the price much too low! Had to make it with a tip!

One of the best restaurants I've ever tried in the Netherlands. Everything was delicious from starter to dessert. literally could not complain about something

Like seafood-oriented tapas restaurant. Absolutely delicious and dishes design are like fine food

Unfortunately a very disappointing experience for us. After a long sail we thought we eat here and didn’t really check the reviews which now in hindsight ring very true. The menu is a bit misleading with a steak for two on it for 45 euros. I shared it with my daughter and we ordered it medium rare. It came well done and I thought ok let’s just eat it’s a reasonable price, 45 euros for it, well it actually says p.p. So we ended up paying 90 euros for an overcooked steak and some fried potatoes. If I would have known this wax 90 euros I would have send it back. For that price I would expect it to be cooked to perfection as ordered. I talked about it with them and it was obvious that I wasn’t the first one that fell into the trap. So please be warned…it’s a nice setting beautiful location but unfortunately also a rip off. Their portions for other dishes are tiny as well. We ordered ceviche too and really was minuscule….

De Gouden Bock ia a very nice restaurant; good waiting staff, lovely outdoor seating on the Dam square and a menu that is an excellent blend of bistro and fish dishes. With that said it does have a typical dutch (long) serving time, which locals know well but out of town guests may find unprofessional. Furthermore while it does offer a kids menu, it is a rather limited one, and thus nit the best fit for kids. Overall I would recommend this place for people who want to have a nice meal in the sun and are not in a hury to be somewhere.
