Tommy’s & Zuurveen is heavenly!

The team of international staff are amazing. It didn’t matter who was at our table, they knew what to do; all of them are engaging, knowledgeable and friendly. I cannot praise them enough. Our compliments also go to the kitchen staff who delivered the most delicious and exquisite courses.

The bread with butter and the pepper mayo was just delicious; the bread was warm, perfectly crusty on the outside and pillow soft on the inside. We went for the chef’s surprise and wine pairing. Spot on!

The starters we had was the beef tartare and the ceviche. Both were not overpowered but complimented by the sauce and accompaniments. The wine had peachy essence.

The main was a skate wing which was so tender with a fluffy white wine sauce and a rich carrot sauce for the vegetables - just wow, especially as I had never had skate wings before. The white wine was of an oaky note which could also go with meat.

The dessert: a sheet of meringue with matcha ice cream, paired with puffed rice and kiwi was divine! The wine was a dessert wine was sweet with a hint of cognac which lingers beautifully.

The atmosphere is relaxed and chill, offering a range of seating from the inside, to the outside space along the wide walkway, to the barge on the canal.

I loved my experience today - from the kitchen serving the most glorious food to the most delightful staff. I will definitely be recommending this...

Tommy's Zuurveen offers a refined menu in a casual and welcoming setting. The menu changes regularly with a focus on seasonal ingredients. You have the option to go for a 3, 4 or 5 course meal for dinner.

Since their menu changes frequently it is difficult to recommend a dish, but when we visited them in January the roe deer fillet stood out. It was well marinated with no trace of gaminess at all. The beets, onions and hazelnuts served alongside were also great complements. We were happy to see them make their own fermented foods such as kimchi and saurkraut and use them generously in their dishes.

Their wine menu covers some of the classic regions with good producers, and minimal markup. I do wish the menu was bigger though, it would then be better suited to pair with the diverse flavors in their dishes.

The atmosphere is cozy and charming, while the cutlery, glassware and tableware are all good quality nothing feels pretentious. It resonates with their goal of providing accessible culinary experience. The staff is helpful and kind, and the service is also very fast, in fact it was so fast at times that we had to ask them to slow down. Overall we really enjoyed our meal at Tommy's and we will be back to try out...
