Arsenaal 1824 Grand Cafe - Nijmegen

Beautiful ambiente, fair eating, service is friendly but unprofessional.hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Food and service were average, nothing extraordinary. However the staff is friendly and the environment is cosy. I would not recommend it if you want to impress someone.

We eat here once a week after our Dutch class and find it hard to go anywhere else because the week menu is such good value and quality currently 16.95E in the cafe. The starters are always quite imaginative one week we had papaya and shrimps, this week it was carpaccio and sun dried tomato mousse. We like it that they always have vegetables with the main course usually stir fried and we don't get fries every week sometimes rice. Dessert can be just ice cream but sometimes more interesting and usually with fresh fruit last night it was red currants, blackberry and passionfruit with blackberry mousse. The waiters are nice and patient when we insist on murdering the Dutch language!

The environment is atmospheric and historical. The staff was welcoming. We arrived early for our reservation and were easy to sit. The meal was of good quality, the bread basket was generous, both meat and fish dishes were delicious. The restaurant was set up for Christmas holidays.

Goede eetgelegenheid, super goede verzorgde lunches maar een beetje meer variatie qua kaart zou prettig zijn. Al het andere service, hygiëne, sfeer, kwaliteit dikke 10+
