BRUT Food & Wine Bar — Restaurant in Dordrecht

What an incredible experience. BRUT is easily one of the best spots in Dordrecht. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The setting is beautiful, especially the hidden garden terrace which feels like a peaceful escape right in the middle of the city.

We visited on a themed Spanish night, and it was absolutely unforgettable. Live music filled the space with energy, creating a vibrant and joyful vibe. You could feel the passion and effort that went into organising the evening. Everything from the music to the menu felt carefully curated.

The food was excellent. Fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. You can tell the kitchen puts care into both quality and creativity. The staff were also outstanding. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about what they do.

It is rare to find a place that gets food, service, atmosphere, and personality right all at once. BRUT does exactly that. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great night out, whether you’re a local or visiting Dordrecht. We will...

We recently dined at this establishment as a group of nine, and unfortunately, the experience fell short of our expectations. After reading several positive reviews, we anticipated much more, but only one person in our group was truly satisfied with their meal.

Our table ordered a variety of dishes, including burgers, steak, and a selection of shared plates. While the food was decent, nothing stood out as particularly memorable, especially given the higher price point. The quality didn’t quite justify the cost.

One detail that further detracted from the experience was the issue with the iced tea. We specifically requested Lipton Iced Tea, but what we received didn’t taste like it, and we later noticed staff using a different brand. While a small detail, it left us questioning the transparency of the service.

Overall, the experience was underwhelming, with average food and a few service inconsistencies. For the price and the reviews, we...

Nice atmosphere and good service but in my opinion they could improve on their burgers.

For example the burger is served on a cold bun that has never been toasted. Simply toasting the bun with a bit a butter on the grill would enhance the flavor immensely and make the burger easier to eat. Another improvement would be to make a burger with a fatter piece of beef or cook the burger for a shorter period as the burgers are often dry tasting. In most US restaurants the burgers is also cooked a bit in butter to help keep the burger juicy and from drying out.

Lastly the small burger is too small for the bun. Perhaps make the patty less thick so that the burger can fit in the bun.

EDIT: Have been back recently and I can say nothing but nice things about their burgers. The bun is always toasted and the burger is just the right size for the...
