Café De Plak — Restaurant in Nijmegen

I believe this is the oldest restaurant in the city, being in business for over 40 years. I come here about twice a month. The quality of the food is always very good, with lots of fresh vegetables on the side.

The place is not very big, so they're always packed full, especially in winter when there is no outside seating. Best advice, when you don't like to wait at the bar (even though that's perfectly normal and acceptable - and it's worth the wait), would be to arrive no later than 18h.

They serve meat, fish, vegetarian, and they even have 3 vegan dishes.

Quality of service is exceptional, friendly staff. It can be a bit hectic when it's very busy. The general atmosphere is informal and...

I ordered lamb meatballs, which was the week's dish. After waiting 40 minutes, what I got was a microwaved food. The meatballs were ice-cold in the middle, all three of them.

Today a bit of a different Plak review. One day I will write a restaurant review but today I'm gonna be a bit different.

Cafe de Plak is an amazing spot for party's in the weekends. It's a great alternative club with nice dj's on mostly Friday and Saturday nights.

The Atmposhpere is amazing with the ever returning community of returning guests.

The staff is amazingly friendly and happy, always there to help you get what you need.

As usual with my reviews anything that I can't judge will get a neutral 3 star review. In this case that's the food. Soon I will write a food review about de Plak. So Food: 3 stars.

P.s. read table waiting time as bar...
