"absolutely delectable dishes, impeccable atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. I loved every minute in the restaurant, especially sitting outside on the terrace while the weather is sunny and warm.

"De Harmonie can be called as a modern restaurant but with less French accents than the expectations.
During the 5-course dinner experience, most of waitresses were attentive and knowledgeable. However, most of them gave me a feeling that they are knowledgeable from memorizing/reciting ingredients for course and wine menu - lack of sincere passion for culinary.
The highlight of my dinner experience is the presentation. From appetizers to desserts to mint candies, every dish was decorated creatively with colorful ingredients. The first appetizer - raw tuna wrapped in crunchy rice wrap sprinkled with matcha powder - was such an amazing opening. It is easily the best dish out of all courses.
The overall dining experience is without a doubt pleasant and enjoyable where we see creative and talented chefs bring different ingredients into one single dish. However, the taste is my biggest critiques towards the 5-course dinner. From my subjective experience, the chefs try to experiment on harmonizing different ingredients but it backfires the overall taste and texture (some ingredients bring very intrusive taste or texture that does not hold the synergy). Hence, looking forwards to ore harmony in the dishes from talented hands :)"

"Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere! From the very first moment, the warm smiles and genuine welcome made a lasting impression. I requested a vegetarian 7-course menu, and the creativity in each dish was truly outstanding. Every course felt unique and exceptional. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back.
A special thanks to the wonderful ladies working there. Their professionalism and dedication to service are truly admirable!"

Best Restaurants in the Netherlands
Rotterdam, Zuid-HollandWhat you’re getting: This spot is especially known for its goose and duck liver (served, for instance, with Granny Smith apples and gingerbread) -- if you object to that sort of thing, the steak tartare is also delicious; or go for a full chef's menu of three to seven courses (€35-71). Though the food is worth a visit year-round, this inner-city townhouse restaurant becomes twice as popular in the warmer months, when the garden out back is open. (Unlike some other restaurants on this list, you won't have to reserve 100 years in advance or spend over €100 on your dinner.) The chef, Sieberen Meerema, is truly an artist.
