Zinc Le Bon Moment — Restaurant in Roermond

Booked for 5 people on the advice of friends. Ultimately opted for the chef's 4-course surprise menu. Made a reservation at 7 o'clock in the evening. A table was ready, outside right on the road. Nice weather, but not pleasant with the exhaust fumes. Amuse, served before and between courses, between 7 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. It was tasty and was also nicely prepared. Then the trouble started. The sun had set, and because of the parasol above the table and no lighting on the terrace, you could hardly distinguish what was suspicious. After waiting for over AN HOUR I asked when the main course would come. (in the meantime the place was already quite empty and it was getting cooler and darker outside) According to the boss it was coming now, it was almost ready. After another 10 minutes the main course was served by a nasty owner/manager who rudely placed the plates on the table without any explanation. After the main course and another 15 minute wait, the dessert came, which didn't taste bad, but we couldn't see what it was in the dark. Ultimately, after more than 3 and a half hours, I paid more than 350 euros. As compensation, the 2 BOTTLES OF WATER WERE NOT CHARGED. Scandalous. The price-quality ratio is also moderate given the small size of the dishes. Our advice, there are nicer restaurants in the immediate area where you can eat well for a good price and within a...

The ambiance was good the staff were fantastic, attentive, efficient and friendly. Especially the young lady waitress on duty that evening. The food was good but there was room for improvement. My wife had the half lobster which was good and well presented. My steak Tournedos was ok. I wasn't asked how i liked my steak cooked, but i did instruct the the waitress for medium to well done steak. Which it wasn't and i had to send it back to be cooked a little more. It came with a few vegetables of which the beetroot was inedible, so hard. Additionally, I ordered a side order of frites at €5 a time, a little expensive. For a €33 dish i would expect it to come with a choice of vegetables including frites. This made it a decent size meal but now at €38! The final issue was that i was charged for two bottle of tap water, which i expect, but not at €5 a time. Two Lemon Tarts for desert, delicious. This made the meal for my wife and I expensive coming in at a total of €106 with only two small beers to accompany the meal, my wife drank the water which was only 50c cheaper than my beer. Shame really as the restaurant was recommended to us and we had a very delicious lunch two days before. Wouldn't go back for dinner, but...

Was in Roermond for a business trip. Came in to Zinc on Sunday evening for dinner. I ordered ala carte. Aubergine maple for starters and Rib Eye for the main.

Service was friendly at the restaurant. There was not much people so I expect the service to be prompt and timely, which it was, so no complaints there.

Now let’s talk about the food. I may have chosen the wrong dishes but boy was the food disappointing. The Aubergine maple had good flavor but for a restaurant with a Gault&Milau for 2022 and 2023, I expected a lot more from the dish than just thinly cut aubergine which are deep fried to become chips. The rib eye was underwhelming. Waiter did not ask to what doneness I wanted it cooked. I can overlook that as I am usually ok with medium rare to medium doneness and that was how it was served. Flavour wise, it’s probably the saddest steak I’ve ever had. Under-seasoned and almost no sear crust to speak of. Plus they only gave me 1 spoonful of jus, which is not much. Dish came also with a triangle thing which is some sort of carb, but again overly fried. It was tough to cut through. There is also almost no accompanying salad to speak of. For a dish priced at almost €40, I...
