Café Sjiek

Fantastic food in a relaxed atmosphere. Good wines too. We went back the next day to eat here again! Note: they don't take reservations. So you may need to wait a bit before getting a table. But you can wait with a glass of wine :)

Fabulous wine selection, fabulous food. A serious waiting list unless you booked in advance. Well worth the wait

Went there two nights in a row. First night, we sat inside, ordered food and drinks and were eating and drinking within 15 minutes of arrival. Service was fast and efficient, not amazing, not terrible and so we were happy enough that returned the next day. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. We lined up for a good 20 minutes to be seated in the outdoor area. We were then directed to the small tables to wait until a dinner table became available. We waited 15 minutes without being acknowledged by any staff. No drinks were offered. Around 20 minutes sitting down, being ignored by staff we see a famous lawyer coming in cutting the line and being served immediately and attentively by several staff. He was sat in a dinner table within seconds. Meanwhile myself and my partner are thirsty, hungry and ignored. As if our business was worth less than the famous lawyer? 25 minutes in, we are asked what we wanted to drink while we wait. Drinks were delivered after 5 minutes, then 15 minutes later we were escorted to our dinner table. Finally! But as we sat down, our waitress left and never came back with a menu. We waited around 20 minutes. We waived at a busboy, as our waitress was busy laughing and chatting woth colleagues and friends. He kindly brought us a menu. We selected our food and eyed our waitress, who smiled and continued her lively conversation with our neighbouring table. This went on for around 5-7 minutes. She finally came, we ordered and everything went quite smoothly once we put our order in. I will NEVER go back. And the food is honestly not worth the wait and utter mistreatment. A myriad of better restaurants where my business will be appreciated. They are kind and engaging as long as you are a regular customer, or someone famous, other than that you will be ignored until they are finished making everyone else feel special.

One of the best steak tartare I've had. Also fantastic coffee, music, service and vibe. Super cool.

Food was bad for the price and they wanted us to pay for two beers that we hadn't ordered . This stew from Maastricht was the worst time I had it, I think it was old. The french fries were terrible, like in old oil fried. The treatment was good, of course, big smile.
