Restaurant Brasa — Restaurant in Amersfoort

Authentic tapas place. I came to Amersfoort to have a look around and try this place...was not disappointed. Awesome quality/price ratio and the best tapas place I've tried in the NL so far both for the food and price. The wines and the mains were amazing

Cons (for the picky Latins): the menu doesn't mention bread w/ dishes (in our case pata negra) so we ordered extra and ended up getting stuffed instead of trying other dishes. The crema catalana was such a big gritty disappointment it almost hurt. The sugar was also burnt. We were really looking forward to it. I asked a waiter how to pronounce esquelxada to which he replied he is not Spanish so best to ask someone else......unforgivable. Even a cute mispronunciation would have been sufficient. But given the few items on the menu I would've expected more effort.

All in all it was a good time and I'm definitely going to be back to see improvements and change it to 5 stars.

One of the most authentic Spanish places in NL and surprised it isn't in AMS.

You...

I am from Spain and I think this is the worst Spanish restaurant I have ever tried in my life. I do not recommend it at all, and this has nothing to do with the price. I ordered 'pimientos del padrón' and received green peppers that were bigger than my shoe with no taste whatsoever. I ordered 'pan con tomate' and got hollow, bad quality bread with some smashed tomato on top, but no taste of good olive oil or even a hint of garlic. Then I ordered octopus carpaccio and received five minuscule pieces of octopus floating in a red sauce. Good quality octopus should not be served with any sauce because that would ruin the flavor.

Please do not think this restaurant is representative of Spanish food because it is not. Spain has a long tradition of good cuisine, but this restaurant does not represent...

Nice restaurant with tappa style dishes. If you look in while standing outside the door it looks a bit dark at first, but after entering the restaurant it is actually quite nicely decorated. A mix of high and normal tables from which you can pick. In the back you can look into the kitchen and see how they prepare everything. They offer good food for a decent price. Nice location too, in a side street of one of the main squares of Amersfoort where it is not so busy. We tried a couple of different dishes and all of these...
