Lazytiger — Restaurant in Ermelo

We opted for the 4-course menu, not realizing that dessert wasn’t included. Maybe I misread or it wasn’t clear, but it felt a bit misleading.

The experience actually started off well. The restaurant looks nice, we were greeted with a small taster dish, and they asked about our dietary needs, which seemed accommodating. The first two courses were great.

Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. The third course—crispy chicken—was very minimal and tasted very similar to a fried item we’d already had in the second course. The main course (apparently the highlight) was even more disappointing, with yet another dish that tasted almost identical to the curry sauce from earlier.

But the absolute worst item was the chicken teriyaki skewers. When we bit into them, we couldn’t even tell what meat it was—just fatty, chewy texture with no real meat at all. To make matters worse, they were cold, so the whole thing tasted like snotty leftovers.

The service didn’t help either. Empty glasses piled up on our table, water glasses were given but never filled, and drinks were pricey (around €8 for a “fancy” lemonade with frozen mango). Wait times between courses felt strange too—long gaps, even when one course was just fried chicken.

When we tried to share our dissatisfaction with the waitress, she didn’t seem bothered and just brought us the bill. It wasn’t even that busy; they mentioned reservations, but the place never really filled up. It left us wondering if they were short-staffed, inexperienced, or simply uninterested.

It’s a pity, because the first impression was good, and the restaurant itself looks appealing. But overall, the food repetition, poor execution, and lack of care in service made this a...

Nice atmosphere, looks real classy and Thai at the same time. Super good service, very friendly people, all of them. Always stayed friendly, even when I said the fried rice was cold, which was kind of a disappointment. It seemed like the fried rice had been prepared beforehand and was warmed up in some way, but it definitely was not as warm and fresh (moisty that is, it was a bit dry) as when it would have been straight out of the pan. The rest of the food was not completely authentic, which is ok, if it had been better. The yakitori and fried ebi seemed to have been purchased from the store, instead of being hand made. The chicken cashew was too sweet (it's not even supposed to have sweet sauce).

In all, the quality was not bad perse, and the prices were ok, but for the same price I would have expected a bit more authenticity. I had rather paid even more for...

Went had dinner at Lazytiger recently. The place looks awesome and gives a really good atmosphere. Especially outside it almost looks like a Japanese Koi garden. The food was also really tasty. Just 4 stars for the food because I missed a traditional Thai taste. I don't want to take away from the chef. The food was prepared incredibly well but if you have been to Asian countries or Thailand in Generell it's more like an modern interpretation of it. The staff was nice but it felt a little cold and almost a little bothered by us, almost like we weren't the kind of costumers they wish for. Still would recommend...
