El Ternero — Restaurant in Amersfoort

Would have rated with 1-2 extra stars if the serving staff wasn't as chaotic as it was for us. There were maybe 10 tables to serve but staff was clearly not equipped for this.

Don’t bother with starters either as the portion sizes were abysmal - calamari starter only came with 5 rings and there was more batter than calamari. Overall disappointing dining experience and would...
