Best European food near Nijmegen, Gelderland Province, The Netherlands
Reviews on European food in Nijmegen, Gelderland Province, The Netherlands. At over 2000 years old, Nijmegen has had a pretty full life. Its transition from Roman military camp to modern municipality has not been without growing pains, but today Nijmegen is thriving, largely because of its lively student population and its status as a hub for political activism. Try to visit during the internationally popular Nijmeegse Vierdaagse four-day walking festival and the epic Zomerfeesten summer party. They happen at the same time, because why not?

We ate at Bistrobar Berlin last night, a Thursday night and it wasn't busy. Overall, we had a great meal and a lovely evening with good service.They offer a long and varied wine list that should meet anyone's price/taste point. Along with the usual beer on tap, they have Chiney Blond and a couple other less common options.I ordered an olive muffin filled with artichoke/tomato with covered with smoked yoghurt and smoked salmon with asparagus. Both were great. The olive muffin surprised me with its firm texture and the acidic dressing on the tomato an artichoke in the middle. The smoked yoghurt was light and surprising. My dinner companion was happy with his lamb and especially enjoyed steak tartar that involved tapioca balls and managed to work.At the price point (â¬10 per plate), Bistrobar Berlin is turning out innovative delicious food. I like the fact that I'll be able to try a couple different dishes next time I go. The menu changes gradually, so I anticipate they hold on to the favorites and change seasonal foods. There were at least three options that included white asparagus last night, for example.All in all, a great eating experience for us. From the other reviews, it sounds like it might be worth trying to avoid busy nights. I'll be back.

The first real Nijmegen grill restaurant where you will find hospitality, friendly service, honest cuisine and quality.
Reviewed By Appeltje2015
This restaurant is one of the best in Nijmegen. Old fashioned cozy interior, and a real charcoal grill inside. We were welcomed by the owner, who was very friendly. The service was fast. We enjoyed the shrimp cocktail, (The grey Dutch shrimp!) with an excellent cocktail sauce. We selected the rack of lamb. The chef comes to the table to show you the meat, and asks you how you would like it prepared. The wheeled salad bar is ok. Iceberg lettuce is not our favorite, but it is a nice touch to select your own salad. I wish I could have a plate instead of a ceramic tray for my main course, but that is just me. Overall it was a nice experience. The rose offered for the lady is a very nice touch!

The Blaauwe Hand is truly world class. The bar keepers are very knowledgeable and are more than happy to make suggestions. They have a good variety of local and regional beers from the Netherlands and Belgium. The food is homemade and tastes great. There's nothing quite like having a few at this place, with the beer served properly, in its proper glass. The afternoon and evening just fly by.

A local spot we like to go regularly. Very good burgers (also vegetarian options) for a very decent price. Burgers are always served with a pickle. I'd suggest to grab some fries with it and possibly some coleslaw. To finish things off, either grab a beer or a very nice banana milkshake

A small restaurant just outside the centrum of Nijmegen. An underground parking lot across the street. There is an indoor and an outdoor dinning area at the back. The back garden has glass dome to shield off weather. The owner dresses the restaurant with antiques which adds to the atmosphere. The menu is a simple page of selected dishes accompanied by 6 pages of wine. There is a wide range of biological wines. Look out for the orange wine (white wine but taste like red)! It is a fine/French cuisine so donât count on big portions of food. It is all about tasting. The cote de boeuf is tender and dressed with fleur de sel. Dear, Nice to hear from you! Met hartelijke groet, Team Flores

We went this evening to restaurant De Nieuwe Winkel, because it has a great recommendation on tripadvisor. It is a small cousy restaurant with trendy staff. We could choose between meet (chicken), fish or vegetarian menu. Because we had some appetite we choose the 6 courses menu with fish. You get something different comparing to other fancy places. We choose fish, so you expect some fish. One of the starters had a bit of fish in it and that was it. The main course was a tasty piece of a carrot (but then purple) and the second main course some beet. Loved the dessert most. A tasty appel and a nice vegie cheesecake variation.We had a nice evening, but at the end we had to laugh about it. If we would go here with our parents they would call us crazy. 160 euro for a petit carrot and beet as main-course. Ridiculous. So if you are a vegetarian and you want something tasty this is the place, but you pay a lot for it. If you want a nice piece of fish or meat better go to another place.

Located near the city center, this restaurant is a no nonsense place to eat. The interior is not really thrilling, but the food is just totally delicious. Huge portions of everything you order. The spare ribs are heaven, as is the salmon and huge American T bone steak. Friendly waiters and waitresses make everything run smooth. So if you are a real carnivor with a big appetite, this is the place to go. Make your reservation ahrad, as it may be crowdy especially during the weekend.

Vesters is a luxury and still cosy place for an excellent dinner. We serve authentic dishes inspired bij the French cuisine. With every dish we selected a matching wine and we also have a nice wine list.
Reviewed By charadf
Although it is a fancy place, it still has a very familiar atmosphere which makes people feel at home. Loved the food and the fact that although we spend 2 hrs there, the plates were constantly coming, with nice explanations and also the wine pairing. A place to get conversations flowing and time to enjoy the flavoured food. Waiters were fantastic, english spoken fluently. Loved it!
